The full report is available on Bannerman''s website at and on SEDAR ().

HIGHLIGHTS
On 15 July 2015 Bannerman announced the following positive results from Phase 1 of the Etango Heap Leach Demonstration Plant Program:
Bannerman''s Chief Executive Officer, Len Jubber, said:
"The Company has made significant progress during the quarter with the successful commissioning of the Heap Leach Demonstration Plant and the announcement of the exciting results from Phase 1 which strongly support the assumptions and projections incorporated in the DFS. Post quarter end we commenced Phase 2 which aims to replicate the results in Phase 1."
"Further, the project optimisation work on the resource modelling and mine planning aspects of the DFS is progressing well and it is anticipated that updated mineral resource and ore reserves estimates will be released by the end of the December 2015 quarter."
"The Etango Project continues to progress and remains one of the very few globally significant uranium projects that can realistically be brought into production in the medium term. The Heap Leach Demonstration Plant program further de-risks the Etango development path and will assist Bannerman to attract JV / funding partners."
Len Jubber, Chief Executive Officer
