Geological Information
Unless otherwise stated, information in this Presentation relating to the
Company’s mineral resource and ore reserve estimates (other than the
Paterson Lake South project (PLS)) has been prepared in accordance with the
Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and
Ore Reserves (the JORC Code). Unless otherwise stated, such information has
been extracted from the Company’s “2024 Annual Report to Shareholders”
released on 29 August 2024 (Annual Report) and available to view at
paladinenergy.com.au. Paladin confirms that it is not aware of any new
information or data that materially affects the information extracted from the
Annual Report and, in the case of mineral resources or ore reserve information,
that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning those
estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed.
Mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates relating to PLS has been
prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators (NI
43-101).
National Instrument 43-101
The scientific and technical information relating to the Langer Heinrich Mine
(LHM) in this Presentation is based on the technical report titled “NI 43-101
Technical Report on Langer Heinrich Uranium Project, Erongo Region,
Republic of Namibia” (effective date 31 March 2024), prepared in accordance
with NI 43-101 and available on www.sedarplus.ca. Scientific and technical
information relating to the LHM in this Presentation was reviewed and
approved by David Varcoe, Principal Mining Engineer for AMC Consultants
Pty Ltd, and David Princep, a full-time employee of Gill Lane Consulting Pty
Ltd, each a “qualified person” under NI 43-101.
The scientific and technical information relating to PLS in this Presentation is
based on the technical report titled “Feasibility Study, NI 43-101 Technical
Report, for PLS Property” (effective date 17 January 2023), prepared in
accordance with NI 43-101 and available on www.sedarplus.ca. Scientific
and technical information relating to PLS in this Presentation was reviewed
and approved by Kanan Sarioglu, VP Exploration of Fission Uranium Corp. (a
subsidiary of Paladin), a “qualified person” under NI 43-101.
Foreign Estimates
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 5.12, the PLS mineral reserve and mineral
resource estimates are foreign estimates prepared in accordance with NI 43-
101. Such estimates have not been reported in accordance with the JORC
Code. Accordingly, a competent person has not done sufficient work to classify
the foreign estimate as mineral resources or ore reserves in accordance with the
JORC Code, and it is uncertain whether further evaluation and exploration will
result in an estimate reportable under the JORC Code. See Paladin’s ASX
announcement titled ‘Paladin Energy to acquire Fission Uranium creating a
clean energy leader’ dated 24 June 2024 for additional technical information
relating to such foreign estimate. Paladin confirms that the supporting
information provided in that announcement continues to apply and has not
materially changed. Paladin also confirms that it is not in possession of any new
information or data relating to these foreign estimates that materially impacts
their reliability or Paladin’s ability to verify the foreign estimates as a mineral
resource or ore reserve estimate in accordance with the JORC Code.
Historical Estimates
The information in this Presentation relating to mineral resource and ore
reserves estimates for the Company’s deposits other than the LHM, the PLS,
and the Michelin, Jacques Lake and Manyingee deposits, were prepared and
first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. Such information has not been
updated to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information
has not materially changed. See the Mineral Resources, Ore Reserve and
Mineral Reserves tables in the Appendices of this Presentation for further
information.
Market and Industry Data
Certain information in this Presentation may have been obtained from market
and industry data and forecasts obtained from government or industry
publications and reports. Such market and industry data is subject to variations
and cannot be verified due to limits on the availability and reliability of the
relevant data inputs, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and
other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any market or other survey.
While Paladin believes any such data contained in this Presentation to be
reliable, neither Paladin nor its representatives have independently verified any
such information sourced from third parties and accordingly disclaimers all
responsibility and liability whatsoever in respect to any such information.
Rounding
Figures, amounts, percentages, estimates and calculations of value in this
Presentation are subject to rounding. Accordingly, the actual calculation of such
figures may differ from figures in this Presentation.

Nuclear energy demand driven by the need for
clean & reliable, baseload power
Worldwide
439
• Current demand for uranium is underpinned by existing reactor fleet, reactors under construction and reactor life extensions & restarts in the US
and elsewhere
• Significant incremental demand for nuclear energy:
COP28 and COP29: 31 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK and France, pledged to triple nuclear power capacity by 2050
Trump’s executive orders aimed at boosting the nuclear energy sector in the US with the goal of quadrupling the US nuclear fl eet from
~100GW to 400GW by 2050 - implies an additional ~150Mlbs of annual U3O8 demand out to 2050 (for the US alone)7
