CORPORATE HISTORY

Historic exploration results dating back more than four decades showed that Havilah Resources Curnamona Province tenements held high potential for discovery of palaeochannel hosted Tertiary age uranium deposits. In 2004, when interest began to be re-kindled in uranium owing to a growing demand from the nuclear power industry, Havilah formed Curnamona Energy Limited, specifically to explore for Tertiary palaeochannel uranium deposits on its exploration licences. Curnamona Energy’s exclusive exploration and development rights for all Tertiary sediment hosted uranium deposits that it discovers on Havilah’s tenements was secured via a tenement access agreement.

In April 2005, Havilah sponsored a capital raising and ASX listing of Curnamona Energy via a 1:8 priority entitlements offer of shares in Curnamona Energy to Havilah Resources shareholders. This issue was heavily oversubscribed and raised $5.6 million. After a subsequent placement of $6 million in April 2007, Havilah retains a 45.4% interest in Curnamona Energy.

Since listing on the ASX, Curnamona Energy has gone about systematically exploring the Havilah tenements, and several tenements that it has acquired in its own right. The target is Tertiary age, sand-hosted uranium deposits that are amenable to low cost in situ recovery extraction methods. The isolation of Curnamona Energy’s exploration areas, and the difficulty of securing drilling contractors early on, prompted the Company to acquire its own drilling and well logging equipment and to develop its own drilling expertise. This has served the Company well, leading to definition of the Oban uranium deposit and announcement of a maiden inferred resource estimate of 2,100 tonnes of eU3O8 at Oban in June 2009.

At the end of 2009, Curnamona Energy maintains an active exploration program on more than 6000 km2 of highly prospective tenements and is commencing feasibility test work on its Oban deposit, including a field recovery trial.
