The first tranche of 8,917,647 KAH Shares (being 50% of EML's holding) was
unconditionally sold on 25 March 2010 for a gross cash consideration of
16,497,646.95 ("Tranche 1") to Nippon Uranium Resources (Australia) Proprietary

Limited dated 25 March 2010 the Company has agreed terms for the disposal of
the second tranche of 8,917,647 KAH Shares (being the entire balance of EML's

the total net consideration will be in excess of 32,250,000. Subject to
completion of the sale of both Tranches 1 and 2 the Company intends to

special dividend will be in the region of 4.4 to 4.8 pence per EML share.
Under Aim Rule 15, following the disposal of both Tranches 1 and 2 the Company
will be considered an investing company. A new investing strategy will be put

sale proceeds will be applied in accordance with that strategy. The Company
will have a period of twelve months from the date of the General Meeting to
implement such strategy to the satisfaction of AIM.
Further details of the proposed investing strategy and other matters relating
to the transaction will be contained in the notice of general meeting to be
distributed by the Company within seven days of this announcement.
