Kevin Bambrough, CEO, Sprott Resource Corp.
comments on why it
owns 20% of Virginia Energy Resources Inc.
(TSXV:VUI)
=======================================================================
"Sprott has a 20% stake in VUI for a simple reason: when the moratorium
on uranium mining in Virginia US is finally lifted, we are sitting on a
world-class, strategic uranium deposit currently valued at cents on the
dollar.
The uranium mining moratorium has created a progress gap.
It
dates from the early 1980s - mining technology and safety have
progressed a long way since then and the economics of VUIs flagship
Coles Hill project are compelling for everyone."
Kevin Bambrough, CEO, Sprott Resource Corp.
Dear Shareholder
Virginia Energy Resources (TSXV:VUI) owns 100% of the Coles Hill
uranium project - a world-class, strategic uranium deposit located in
Virginia, US.
The vote on the lifting the uranium mining moratorium in Virginia takes
place January 2013.
Allowing uranium mining makes sense for Virginia
because:
-Its safe.
Uranium is mined successfully and safely in other US states,
Canada, Australia and elsewhere in the world.
-Its scientific.
National Academy of Sciences study published December
2011 provides a clear road map for creating safe uranium production at
Coles Hill.
-Its needed.
A state-commissioned study published in November 2011
indicates strong economic benefits for Virginia: 1000 jobs and over
$5 billion net accumulated economic revenue for Virginia firms over the
mines 35-year lifetime.
(Cautionary note: This is a third party estimate,
has not been verified by the Company, and should not be relied upon.)
-Its sensible.
Virginia generates 38% of its energy from nuclear power.
The Coles Hill project can help Virginia take an enormous step towards
energy independence.
-Its progressive.
In January 2012, Virginias regulatory agencies were
directed to begin drafting a regulatory and permitting program for uranium
mining in the state.
And were committed.
VUI will follow the science and is committed to
adopting the best practices and regulatory requirements.

-Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA*) reports attractive project
economics based on a higher grade portion of the indicated resource
totalling 64.2 million pounds U3O8 (32.9 m tons @ 0.098% U3O8 at a 0.06%
cut-off).
-Initial production of 2 million lbs per year.
-Initial Cash Cost (years 1-10) $30.72/lb.
-NPV of US$427 million; IRR of 36.3% (at $64/lb).
-An increase of US$5 per pound in uranium selling prices causes the
project NPV to rise by US$110 M.
-Sprott owns 19.9% and other +50% owned by Virginians.
