REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES

Operations

Berkeley is a high impact, clean energy company focused on bringing its wholly owned Salamanca mine into production.

This world class uranium project is being developed in an historic mining area about three hours west of Madrid, Spain. Final detailed project reviews are underway as the Company counts down to the commencement of construction at the Salamanca mine.

At the same time, production cuts are being announced at some of the world's largest uranium mines, which are likely to result in a 12% reduction in primary mine production this year.

The Salamanca mine, the only major uranium mine to be in construction in the world this year, is scheduled to reach production in 2019 as the market enters the long awaited supply/demand deficit that industry experts have called both fundamental and unavoidable.

The project continues to receive strong support among key stakeholders in Spain, reflecting the growing awareness of the benefits the investment will bring to a community that is experiencing some of the highest levels of unemployment in the European Union.

Highlights for and subsequent to the half year include:

-- Berkeley Energia completes strategic investment of up to US$120m with the Oman sovereign wealth fund:

o Shareholders overwhelmingly voted to approve the strategic investment and the Company received the initial US$65 million tranche of funding in November 2017 which funds the capital costs for production;

o Mr Deepankar Panigrahi, Investment Manager in the Private Equity division of the fund has joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director.

   --      Construction preparation continues: 

o Following the receipt of funding, the Company is filling key management positions and finalising capital and operating costs;

o As part of its commitment to develop the project in partnership with Spanish engineering excellence, Sanchez y Lago, one of Spain's major construction companies and contract mining firms has been selected as the preferred mining contractor.

   --      Strong support from key stakeholders: 

o AENOR, the Spanish Association for Standardisation and Certification, recently re-awarded the Company certificates in Sustainable Mining and Environmental Excellence;

o As part of its commitment to reduce unemployment in the region, the majority of new staff required for the first phase of construction activity will be recruited from the local villages of Retortillo and Villavieja.

   --      Uranium market: 

o Cameco's recently announced suspension of operations at its low cost McArthur River mine, along with cuts announced by Areva and Kazatomprom, is expected to remove 17 million pounds U(3) O(8) from the market this year (12 million pounds attributable to Cameco alone), representing 12% of primary mine supply;

o The Company has 2.75 million pounds of U(3) O(8) under contract for the first six years, with a further 1.25 million pounds of optional volume, at an average price above US$42, compared with a spot price of US$21 per pound;

o The Company will continue to progressively build its offtake book and has granted the Oman sovereign wealth fund the right to match any future long term offtake transactions.

   --       Exploration: 

o Exploration focused on identifying additional targets with similar characteristics to Zona 7 continued during the period;

o Over 2,200 samples were collected during the first phase of the geochemical sampling programme and twelve potential uranium targets have been identified using a combination of Ionic Leach(TM) analysis and other methods.

Berkeley Energia completed strategic investment of up to US$120m with Oman sovereign wealth fund

During the half year, shareholders overwhelmingly voted to approve the strategic investment agreement with the Oman sovereign wealth fund ('SGRF').

All Conditions Precedent were met and the Company received the initial US$65 million tranche of funding in November 2017.

The investment comprises an interest-free and unsecured convertible loan note of US$65 million which can be converted into ordinary shares at 50 pence per share upon commissioning of the mine, as well as an options package exercisable at an average price of 85 pence per share contributing an additional US$55 million if exercised.

With funding in place, Berkeley takes final steps to prepare for full construction

The Company is now focused on awarding major contracts, filling key management positions and conducting detailed reviews focused on ensuring that the very best capital and operating costs are achieved.

The competitive quotes received which have driven capital and operating costs down have in some cases been offset by the appreciation of the Euro and higher than expected indirect costs.

In addition to the selection of contractors, the Company is making key appointments to the owner's team having recently appointed Mr Sergio Arenas as Plant Manager. Mr Arenas has over a decade of international operating experience.

Berkeley Energia awarded the Corporate Development Award at the London Mines and Money Awards Dinner

The progress made at the Salamanca mine over the past year was recognised when Berkeley Energia was awarded the London Mines and Money Corporate Development Award in December 2017.

The Company was selected from a group of finalists that included Rio Tinto, Ivanhoe Mines and Endeavour Mining.

The award recognized the Company's efforts in permitting, financing and commencing development of the only major uranium mine in the world today, located in the heart of the European Union, at a time when prices are at twelve-year lows.

Employment and training

The project is located in an area that has suffered badly from intergenerational unemployment and rural desertification.

To date, the Company has received over 7,000 job applications just from residents of the Salamanca region, 400 of those come from villages surrounding the project and of those, over 110 from Villavieja alone.

The University of Salamanca has estimated that for this type of business there will be a multiplier factor of 5.1 indirect jobs for every direct job created, resulting in over 2,500 direct and indirect jobs being created as a consequence of the Company's investment in the area.

To date, over 120 locals have attended courses organised by the Company and 25% of residents from the local area have applied for jobs. The Company currently has a work force of nearly 70 people and over a quarter of these have been recruited from towns in the immediate vicinity.

Training programmes, which have been historically well attended and oversubscribed, will continue to run throughout the year ensuring that sufficient people from the local communities have the specialist skills required for jobs created during the construction and mining phases.

As part of its commitment to reduce unemployment in the region, the majority of new staff required to carry out upcoming work programmes will be recruited from the local villages of Retortillo and Villavieja.

Commitment to the community

The Company has invested more than EUR70 million developing the project over the past decade and plans to invest an additional EUR250 million over the life of the project.

The Company has signed Cooperation Agreements with the highly supportive local municipalities, demonstrating its commitment to fostering positive relationships with these communities.

To date, through these agreements, the Company has provided Wifi networks for local villages, built play areas for children, repaired sewage water plants, upgraded sports facilities, and sponsored various sporting events and local festivals.

Following consultations with the residents of the local community a number of infrastructure improvements to neighbouring villages have been identified, which the Company is looking to progress in the coming months.

The Company has worked tirelessly over the past decade to develop positive and mutually beneficial relationships with the local communities and will continue to do so as construction ramps up.

Committed to the highest environmental standards

The Salamanca mine is being developed to the highest international standards and the Company's commitment to the environment remains a priority. It holds certificates in Sustainable Mining and Environmental Excellence which were awarded by AENOR, an independent Spanish government agency. The Company was re-awarded both certificates in November 2017 following a week long consultation process with the agency.

The mine has been designed according to the very latest thinking on sustainable mining. The extraction and treatment areas will be continuously rehabilitated as operations progress and with minimum disturbance during operations. Once operations are complete, all areas utilised by the Company will be fully restored to an increased agricultural value.

As part of the Environmental Licence and the Environmental Measures Plan over 30,000 young oak trees will be planted over an area of 75 to 100 hectares. The first 20,000 of these will be planted in the nearby municipality of Vitigudino over an area of more than 500 hectares currently used by cattle farmers, despite its deteriorating ecological value.

Offtake programme and notable increase in public tender activity

The Company currently has 2.75 million pounds of U(3) O(8) concentrate under long term contracts over the first six years of production. Potential exists to increase annual contracted volumes further as well as extend the contracts by a total of 1.25 million pounds.

The Company has maintained its preference to combine fixed and market related pricing across its contracts in order to secure positive margins in the early years of production whilst ensuring the Company remains exposed to potentially higher prices in the future.

Across the portfolio, the average fixed price per pound of contracted and optional volumes is above US$42 per pound. This compares favourably with the current spot price of around US$21 per pound.

The investment agreement signed with the Oman sovereign wealth fund grants the fund the right to match future long term uranium offtake transactions. This right to match is subject to an annual cap (on a rolling 12-month basis) which cannot exceed the greater of 1 million pounds of U(3) O(8) concentrate per annum or 20% of annual production.

With the financing agreement signed, the Company intends to increase its offtake activity this year once full construction of the mine is underway, and will participate in public and private offtake opportunities with global utilities, reporting regularly on progress.

The Company's view is that the recent production cuts by Tier 1 producers, Cameco and KazAtomProm, could be a turning point in the uranium market. Cameco's suspension of production, the latest in a long line of production cuts, brings the total volume of uranium removed from the market in 2018 to 17 million pounds, about 12% of primary mine supply.

The Salamanca mine is scheduled to reach production as the market enters a supply/demand deficit that industry experts have called both fundamental and unavoidable. US utilities looking to re-contract will be competing with Chinese and Japanese reactor demand, which may lead to higher spot and term contract prices.

Exploration programme expanded targeting Zona 7 style deposits

A major soil sampling programme was completed during the period focusing on identifying additional targets with similar characteristics to the Zona 7 and Retortillo deposits.

Over 2,200 samples were collected across 46km(2) area in both Salamanca I and Salamanca II and analysed using Ionic Leach(TM) which allows for very high levels of detection of uranium and other economic minerals.

The process involved developing a fingerprint of the Zona 7 discovery (where a low radiometric anomaly existed) and the Retortillo deposit and looking for repetitions of these unique signatures in other areas of interest and then matching these with co-incident radon and geochemical anomalies and finally placing them in a geological and structural setting.

The first phase of the survey of the Salamanca I area defined nine uranium anomalies, which have been divided into four high and five lower priority areas that have a combination of elevated uranium levels along with supporting multi-element signatures.

The survey of the Salamanca II area defined three anomalous areas for uranium, divided into two high priority areas and one lower priority area, all of which have a combination of elevated uranium levels and supporting multi-element signatures.

These twelve uranium anomalous areas are currently being followed up to generate high priority drill targets.

Permitting update

There is strong support for the Salamanca mine throughout all levels of government. To date, the Company has received more than 110 favourable reports and permits for the development of the mine.

The Urbanism Commission of Salamanca gave an Express Resolution for the granting of the Authorisation of Exceptional Land Use.

With the Mining Licence, Environmental Licence and the Authorization of Exceptional Land Use the next major approval is the Construction Authorization by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism for the treatment plant as a radioactive facility.

Approvals for the Zona 7 deposit are progressing well, the Exploitation Plan, the Reclamation and Closure Plan, the Environmental Impact Assessment and the Initial Authorization are complete and have all now been submitted to the relevant authorities. The final approval is expected during 2019 as previously announced.

Corporate

Appointment of SGRF Nominee Director

Mr Deepankar Panigrahi, Investment Manager in the Private Equity division of SGRF joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director on 30 November 2017.

Mr Panigrahi has extensive experience across a variety of sectors and geographies covering all stages of the private equity process, including post investment management. Mr Panigrahi holds an Undergraduate and Master's degree in Economics with Distinction and Honours from the University of Michigan followed by an MBA from Cambridge University.

Results of Operations

The net loss of the Consolidated Entity for the half year ended 31 December 2017 was $40,714,000 (31 December 2016: $6,509,000). Significant items contributing to the current half year loss and the substantial differences from the previous half year include to the following:

(i) Exploration and evaluation expenses of $7,817,000 (31 December 2016: $4,440,000), which is attributable to the Group's accounting policy of expensing exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to the acquisition of the rights to explore and up to the successful completion of definitive feasibility studies for each separate area of interest;

(ii) Business development expenses of $1,087,000 (31 December 2016: $1,128,000), which includes the Group's investor relations activities including but not limited to public relations costs, marketing and digital marketing, broker fees, travel costs, conference fees, business development consultant fees and stock exchange admission fees;

(iii) Non-cash share based payments expense of $267,000 (31 December 2016: $513,000) was recognised in respect of incentive securities granted to directors, employees and key consultants. The Company's policy is to expense the incentive securities over the vesting period (which for Performance Rights is generally the life of the security). The decrease in this expense is a direct result of less incentive securities on issue at 31 December 2017 compared to 31 December 2016;

(iv) Non-cash fair value movements of $24,868,000 (31 December 2016: nil) of the convertible note and unlisted options issued to SGRF ('SGRF Options'). These financial liabilities increase in size as the share price of the Company increase. With the share price increasing by over 22% since agreeing to issue the convertible note and SGRF Options to the end of the half year, the size of the fair value loss attributable to the financial liabilities has increased materially. As the convertible note and SGRF Options convert into shares, the liabilities will be reclassified to equity and will require no cash settlement by the Company.

Commercially, the intentions of both SGRF and the Company prior to completing the convertible note transaction was to enter into an equity type deal. The Company has however complied with the accounting standards and accounted for the convertible note as a financial liability.

Under the ASX Listing Rules, the convertible note and SGRF options are defined as equity securities.

Due to the conversion terms of the convertible note leading to the issuance of a variable number of ordinary shares in the Company in return for conversion of the convertible note, the Company is required under the accounting standards to account for the convertible note as a current financial liability at fair value through profit and loss, despite the Company having no obligation to extinguish the convertible note using its cash and cash equivalents.

(v) The Group also incurred one off costs to issue the convertible note and associated securities of $2,697,000 (31 December 2016: nil).

Financial Position

At 31 December 2017, the Group is in an extremely strong financial position with cash reserves of $105,375,000.

The Group had net assets of $8,234,000 at 31 December 2017 (30 June 2017: $48,467,000), a decrease of 67% compared with 30 June 2017. This decrease is consistent and largely attributable to the recognition of the non-cash financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (the convertible note and SGRF Options).

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

At the date of this report there were no significant events occurring after balance date requiring disclosure.
