Bannerman will issue 30 million ordinary shares at an issue price of A$0.50 per share primarily to a range of key existing and new institutional shareholders. The bidding process, managed by Argonaut Securities out of Australia, was over-subscribed. Settlement of the share placement is expected to take place on Monday 20 December 2010. The share placement utilises the authority granted by shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting held on 23 November 2010.

Trading in Bannerman's shares is expected to resume on the Australian Securities Exchange at the opening of trading on Wednesday, 15 December 2010.

Proceeds from the placement will be used to advance Bannerman's feasibility study on its 80%-owned flagship Etango Uranium Project in Namibia, for regional exploration activities, and for general corporate and administrative purposes.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Mr Len Jubber said: "The strength of support from our existing and new institutional shareholders highlights the quality of the Etango Uranium Project. Etango is a globally significant and low risk project which, in the context of the positive fundamentals of the uranium market, offers unparalleled leverage to the rising uranium price. Bannerman is well positioned to benefit from the clean nuclear power generation plans of numerous countries, particularly China and other Asian nations."
