UPDATE REGARDING POSSIBLE RECOMMENDED CASH OFFER BY CGNPC-URC FOR


KALAHARI

Further to the announcement on 7 March 2011 regarding a possible
recommended cash offer for Kalahari Minerals plc ('Kalahari' or the
'Company') by CGNPC Uranium Resources Co. Ltd. ('CGNPC-URC') at 290
pence per share, Kalahari confirms that it remains in discussions with
CGNPC-URC regarding a possible offer for the Company.

Following the tragic Japanese earthquake and tsunami and the resulting
incident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, CGNPC-URC has
had discussions with Kalahari on the terms and expected timing of the
Possible Offer. After discussions between the parties it was agreed
that the Panel Executive should be approached regarding a proposed
reduction of the price of the Possible Offer to 270 pence per Kalahari
Share.

The Panel Executive has ruled that CGNPC-URC is not permitted to
announce a firm offer for Kalahari at 270 pence per share, even with
the agreement of the Kalahari Board, because under Rule 2.4(c) of the
City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the 'City Code'), where a potential
offeror announces indicative offer terms without reserving the right to
make an offer at a lower level of consideration, any offer made by it
for the offeree company during the offer period and three months
thereafter must be on the same or better terms. CGNPC-URC and Kalahari
chose not to reserve the right for CGNPC-URC, with the agreement of the
Kalahari Board, to change the terms of the Possible Offer in the 7
March 2011 announcement.

The Kalahari Board is appealing against the Panel Executive's ruling.
The parties have entered into a deed of variation amending certain
terms of the Implementation Agreement entered into on 7 March,
including the postponement to 17 June 2011 of the date by which an
announcement of a firm intention to make an offer must be made. This
deed of variation is conditional upon a successful appeal of the Panel
Executive's ruling.

Even if an appeal is successful, there can be no certainty that an offer
will be made. No offer will be announced on 3 May 2011 as previously
anticipated.

A further announcement will be made in due course.

Note 7 on Rule 2.4 of the City Code requires the Company to clarify that
this statement is being made by Kalahari with the consent of CGNPC-URC ((1)).

Capitalised terms in this announcement have the meaning given in the 7
March 2011 announcement unless otherwise defined.

((1)) Kalahari has been asked to confirm by the Panel Executive that,
      notwithstanding this appeal, CGNPC-URC retains the right to make
      an offer for Kalahari at 290 pence per share, irrespective of the
      outcome of the appeal.

Opening Position and Dealing Disclosure Requirements under the Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1 per
cent or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any paper offeror (being any
offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be,
solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period and, if later,
following the announcement in which any paper offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure
must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any
relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any paper offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by
a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London
time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any paper offeror is first identified.
Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a paper offeror prior to the
deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested
in 1 per cent or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any paper offeror must
make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any paper
offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests
and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree
company and (ii) any paper offeror, save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A
Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London
time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or
understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree
company or a paper offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company
and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and
by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4). Details of the offeree and
offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures
must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when
any offeror was first identified. If you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make an Opening
Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure, you should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on
44 (0)20 7638 0129.
