URANIUM REACTION
Camecos Bid for Hathor May be the Starters Pistol TIMING IS EVERYTHING
Last week we noted that we were at a point of maximum pessimism and that there were no foreseeable negative catalysts in the uranium space. Thanks to Cameco (CCO-TSX), that point may have only lasted a day. As a result of Camecos $520 million dollar hostile bid for Hathor Exploration (HAT-TSXV) the uranium sector appears to have reignited again. Since our first report last week, the average return of the group of equities we highlighted gained 11.8% on average. We continue to believe that there is more potential upside in the uranium sector relative to potential downside.

24/08/2011 31/08/2011 Return $21.98 $22.73 3.4% $2.77 $2.68 -3.2% $5.84 $6.00 2.7% $0.50 $0.71 42.0% $0.33 $0.41 24.2% $0.31 $0.32 1.6% 11.8%

Since we do not formally cover Hathor Exploration we will refrain from commenting on what a fair value for the company should be. However we would like to highlight that at an enterprise value per in-situ pound of U3O8 (EV/Lb) of $7.75/lb (market capitalization per pound of $9.01/lb), Camecos bid for Hathor is significantly below the EV/Lb values that were north of $12/lb we observed last year and notably below the $9.50/lb takeover valuation for Mantra Resources by ARMZ/Uranium One (UUU-TSX). In a world where grade is king, Mantras global U3O8 grade of 0.042% is significantly less than the 8.628% at Hathor, yet the offer for the latter is at a discount to the takeover value for the former. Not to mention the fact that Hathors Roughrider zone is in an established uranium mining jurisdiction with significant infrastructure already in place.

FISSION ENERGY HATHORS UNDERVALUED NEIGHBOUR


Due to this development between Cameco and Hathor, we highlighted the impact to Fission Energy (FIS-TSXV, Buy (Speculative) Target: $1.50), which has a 60%-interest in Waterbury Lake. The J-East zone at Waterbury is located right at the border between Hathor and Fissions property and is the likely western extension of Roughrider. Thirty-meters to the west of J-East is the J-Zone, which Fission just announced a 56% increase in strike length to 578m. We estimate a resource of 388,416 tonnes grading 2.1% and containing 17.98 MM lbs of U3O8. It is our view that if Cameco is successful in its acquisition of Hathor Explorations Roughrider deposit, the Company will turn its attention towards the acquisition of Fission Energy as its shallower lying J-Zone and J-East zones would be the natural starting point along the path of mining uranium from the deeper Roughrider deposit.

KIVALLIQ ENERGY IMPRESSIONS OF LAC CINQUNATE


This week we had the pleasure of visiting Kivalliq Energys (KIV-TSXV, BUY (Speculative) Target: $1.00) Angilak Property located in Nunavut, which is home of the highest grade uranium deposit located outside of the Athabasca Basin - the Lac Cinquante deposit (14.15 MM lbs U3O8 at 0.79%). Outside of this zone, we had the opportunity to look at several highly prospective targets including the: Western Extension, Eastern Extension, Blaze Zone, Joule Trend, Forte Zone, PWR Zone, Force Zone, Lucky Break, Bog, VGR, YAT and BIF. As displayed in exhibit 2, Kivalliq has an abundance of high quality targets to explore and we will monitor the results from these targets with great interest.

GERMANY BRACING FOR BLACKOUTS


Despite importing massive amounts of nuclear energy from France after shutting down eight of 17 nuclear post Fukushima, Germany may deal with blackouts not seen since the end of WWII. German utilities have warned about potential blackouts if Germany experiences a particularly tough winter. Calls have been made to place one of the reactors back online but Matthias Kurth, president of the Federal Network Agency has stated that the nuclear power plants will not be reactivated. The decision to shut down the German nuclear program is more emotional than practical and the idea of simply replacing the source of 25% of Germanys power with renewable energy by 2019 is wildly optimistic.

NEW JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER FAVOURS BETER REGULATION


Yoshihiko Noda has been selected as leader of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan and assumes the role as the prime minister of the country. Unlike his

predecessor, the former minister of finance favours the 'independence and empowerment' of a new nuclear safety regulator. Unlike outgoing prime minister Naoto Kan, whom envisioned a future Japan that did not use nuclear energy, Noda prefers a new independent institution reporting directly to the cabinet office, with the authority to instigate criminal investigation of any wrongdoing it may find. We view this as a positive development for the nuclear industry as Japan new prime minister will work towards improving nuclear regulation as opposed to the removal of nuclear power from Japan altogether.

IMPLIED EV/LB VALUATION


Applying the concept of mean reversion, a market-implied valuation can be derived by applying the average EV/Lb value to the valuation of each constituent company to determine its value if it reverted to the mean.

Definitions of recommendations
BUY: The stock is attractively priced relative to the companys fundamentals and we expect it to appreciate significantly from the current price over the next 6 to 12 months.

BUY (Speculative): The stock is attractively priced relative to the companys fundamentals, however investment in the security carries a higher degree of risk. NEUTRAL: The stock is fairly valued, lacks a near term catalyst, or its execution risk is such that we expect it to trade within a narrow range of the current price in the next 6 to 12 months. The longer term fundamental value of the company may be materially higher, but certain milestones/catalysts have yet to be fully realized. SELL: The stock is overpriced relative to the companys fundamentals, and we expect it to decline from the current price over the next 6 to 12 months. TENDER: We believe the offer price by the acquirer is fair and thus recommend investors tender their shares to the offer. UNDER REVIEW: We are temporarily placing our recommendation under review until further information is disclosed.
