Exploration Target Size described in this presentation is conceptual in nature and should not be construed as a JORC compliant Mineral Resource. Target mineralisation is based on projections of established grade ranges over appropriate widths and strike lengths having regard for geological considerations including mineralisation style and expected mineralisation continuity as determined by qualified geological assessment. There is insufficient information to establish whether further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Laramide is a Canadian-based company with globally diversified and strategic uranium assets in the United States and Australia.
Premier In Situ Recovery (ISR) division - Church Rock Project in New Mexico provides near-term production potential; valuation
compares favourably with USA ISR peers.
Laramide's uranium projects are both potentially low cost and have lower technical risk.
Nuclear power is key to delivering clean energy and baseload power to meet rising electricity consumption.
Uranium Market outlook is positive with production far below future demand requirements

LARGE AUSTRALIAN URANIUM
DEPOSIT
Westmoreland is one of the largest undeveloped uranium deposits in Australia, and only one in a handful in the world not under control of a major mining company.
SIGNIFICANT
RESOURCE1
Total resource of 51.9 million pounds of uranium (U3O8): 36 million pounds U3O8 of Indicated with an average grade of 0.089% (890ppm)and 15.9 million pounds U3O8 of Inferred with an average grade of 0.083% (830ppm).
SIMPLE
MINING1
Westmoreland is intended to be an open cut operation from multiple shallow pits allowing cost effective and best practice in-pit tailings disposal.
EXCELLENT METALLURGICAL
RESULTS1
High uranium recovery of > 95% using conventional acid leaching and ion exchange technology to produce around 3.5 million pounds per annum.
LONG MINE LIFE EXPECTED - UPDATED PEA COMPLETED
Mine life is expected to be 13 years with potential to increase to more than 15 years following further resource/reserve drilling.
LOCATED IN WORLD-CLASS MINING
PROVINCE
Located in a world-class mining province with favourable infrastructure near the Century Zinc Mine.
