ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING

THE HAKSKEEN URANIUM PROJECT - NAMIBIA

In response to the ASX letter dated the 18th March 2005, the Directors advise
that the first pass ground radiometric survey was conducted over an area
depicted on a published map as containing a uranium occurrence at Hakskeen
located within the Erongo Polymetallic Project. In addition, exploration data
from the Ministry of Mines and Energy in Namibia shows an airborne radiometric
anomaly (two times background) covering a north-east tending zone of 8
kilometres in length and averaging 2 kilometres in width.

Reefton have completed two ground truthing radiometric survey lines, each of
1,000 metres in length and 1,000 metres apart. Readings were taken with a
Canadian EDA Scintillometer (GRS-500) hired from Fugro Instruments, Perth.
Station interval is 20 metres and the data recorded from the survey is displayed
in Table 1 (attached).

The ground radiometric data shows significant readings of up to 4.5 times
background. The data is a valid measurement of physical properties of uranium
and its daughter products. Some authors regard an anomaly as results above 2
times background and significant anomalies above two standard deviations. These
Hakskeen anomalies being 4.5 times background and well in excess of two standard
deviations, are clearly significant. They are consistent with the presence of a
source of uranium bearing mineralisation, similar to other occurrences in the
Province.

The radiometric survey is continuing in conjunction with soil sampling over the
radiometric anomalies.

An RC drilling rig has been engaged to commence shallow drilling on the Hakskeen
target which is interpreted as a potential palaeochannel uranium deposit similar
to the Larger Heinrich uranium deposit located to South (see location map
attached).

Drilling is anticipated to begin on the palaeochannel within the next few days.

Mr Garry Hemming has worked on the Plumbago Uranium Project and the Honeymoon
Well Uranium deposit both located in South Australia. Mr Hemming has sufficient
experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit
under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a
Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the 'Australian Code for
Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve'. Mr Hemming
consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information
in the form and context in which it appears.

We confirm that the company is in compliance with the listing rules and, in
particular, listing rule 3.1.

FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING "NEW URANIUM DISCOVERY" ANNOUNCEMENT


In response to the ASX letter of 18 March 2005, the Directors provide the
following response in relation to the question as to why the Company's
announcement of the same date was entitled "New Uranium Discovery".

Prior to the location of the regional airborne radiometric summary map by Dr
Christian Schlag, the Company was unaware of uranium mineralisation within its
Erongo Polymetallic Project, Namibia.

Subsequent validation of the airborne radiometrics by completing a ground
truthing radiometric survey has identified a uranium source, warranting/* the
title of "New Uranium Discovery".
