COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT
16th February 2010 Bannerman Feasibility Study Update
Perth, Australia -- Bannerman Resources Limited (ASX: BMN, TSX: BAN, NSX: BMN) ("Bannerman") announces the following update for the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") underway on its Etango Uranium Project in Namibia, southwestern Africa. Bannerman commenced a DFS on its 80%-owned Etango Project in December 2009 and since that time has undertaken a range of activities on metallurgical, mining and resource modelling aspects. Metallurgical Testwork Program Bannerman has now received results from a range of continuous flotation tests conducted in January and February.

These tests followed on from the batch flotation testwork undertaken in 2009.

While providing further confidence in the application of flotation beneficiation to the Etango ore, variances from the previous testwork have been recorded.

Specifically, the continuous tests have indicated average flotation recoveries of 85% compared with +90% recoveries recorded in the batch testwork.

Further investigations are being undertaken into the metallurgical parameters required to consistently achieve the higher flotation recoveries, prior to progressing to the larger scale pilot plant testwork. Mining Review Bannerman and its external consultants have commenced a review to identify realistic savings in operating cost estimates.

Bannerman is targeting cash cost reductions of +10% and, given that over half of total operating costs are mining-related, cost savings in this area present a key opportunity. Work to date has identified a range of areas for cost improvements including:
Review of economic cut-off grade strategies; Mine scheduling improvements involving in-pit dumping of waste rock material; Review of waste rock dump locations and dimensions; Use of larger mining equipment; and Analysis of owner versus contract mining. Work is underway on assessing all cost reduction opportunities and initial results are expected to be available in the June 2010 quarter. Mineral Resource Estimate Bannerman has completed over 284,000 metres of drilling within the Etango Project.

An updated mineral resource estimate, incorporating the 60,000 metres drilled since June 2009, is being completed and due for release to the market in March.

Inclusion of the latest drilling into the resource model is expected to significantly improve the confidence of the resource such that the vast majority of the resource estimate will comprise Measured and Indicated resource material. Bannerman CEO Len Jubber said: "Since the announcement of the PFS results, the Project team has made significant progress in the core areas of resource, mining and processing.

We now have greater confidence in our understanding of the Etango mineralisation and are exploring some exciting opportunities to optimise the mining scenario, with the potential to reduce operating costs.

We believe that the time and effort invested into proving the flotation process will add substantially to the value of the long life Etango Project."
