ENERGY VENTURES LIMITED Annual General Meeting

All resolutions put to shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 17th November 2011
were carried unanimously on a show of hands.

USA Uranium Projects

Energy Ventures, through its wholly owned US subsidiary Oregon Energy LLC, owns five uranium projects located in the western USA, all of which have been subject to significant historical exploration and have

Energy Ventures Limited December 2011 Quarterly Report

either current or historical resources. The most advanced of these projects is the Aurora uranium project located in southeast Oregon. Energy Ventures is currently advancing feasibility studies of the Aurora project, exploring other project areas to increase the Company's resource base, and is actively evaluating other uranium opportunities in the western USA.

Aurora Uranium Project

The Aurora uranium project is a volcanic?hosted uranium deposit located in the southeast part of Oregon, USA. Previous exploration on the deposit, including detailed drilling, shows that a significant uranium resource occurs within a near?surface, flat?lying zone of mineralisation that is potentially amenable to extraction by open pit methods. The Aurora deposit has a total resource base of 38 Mlb eU3O81 comprising an Indicated Resource of 36.7 Mlb eU3O8 at a grade of 253 ppm eU3O8, and an Inferred Resource of 1.2 Mlb eU3O8 at a grade of 151 ppm eU3O8.

Resource Estimate

An update to the resource estimate for the Aurora uranium deposit is currently being undertaken, incorporating the results of diamond drilling that has been undertaken by the Company in the past year. The new resource estimate is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012.
Geological and resource modelling at Aurora will be assisted by the integration of additional historical exploration data obtained during the quarter from Cordex Inc. who were actively exploring for uranium in the early 1980's on claims located immediately adjacent and northeast of the Aurora deposit. These new data obtained from Cordex include drill logs and downhole radiometric records for 110 rotary drill holes, which have now been digitised and merged with the Company's technical database.
Cordex report intersections of uranium mineralisation within more deeply buried or down?faulted zones of the same volcanic sequence that hosts the Aurora deposit. The grade and continuity of this mineralisation is currently being evaluated; as is the geological interpretation and relationship of the mineralisation to the known deposit.

Metallurgical Testwork

A programme of metallurgical testwork has been initiated by the Company to build upon the extensive historical metallurgical testing that was completed on the Aurora mineralisation. The tests are required to establish a viable process flowsheet and to advance the economic feasibility assessment of the deposit.
Initial work by metallurgical consultants Hazen Research Inc. in Golden, Colorado, has been directed toward an assessment of trommelling and wet screening to test the potential for beneficiation of the uranium mineralisation. Preliminary results are encouraging and the Company is currently considering additional tests to evaluate the leaching potential of the screened fractions.
Results for initial screening tests, and for the subsequent leach tests, are expected to be available in the next quarter.

Permitting

Preliminary meetings were conducted during the quarter with key Oregon and US federal agencies responsible for the permitting process for the Aurora uranium project. These include the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), the Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council (EFSC, a division of the Oregon Department of Energy), and the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

1 The term eU3O8 refers to an equivalent uranium oxide grade that is based on the conversion of a radiometric gamma log determination of radioactive mineral abundance to a calculated uranium content. True U3O8 values are obtained from direct chemical assay results.

Energy Ventures Limited December 2011 Quarterly Report

Briefings on the project were also provided to the local Native American reservation and senior advisors with the Office of the Governor.
The Company is currently preparing the documentation required to formally initiate the permitting process for the project. These documents are expected to be submitted in the first quarter of 2012. The Company is also progressing the appointment of a lead consultant to assist with the planning and implementation of a comprehensive baseline environmental study for the Aurora project.

Maybell Uranium Project

The Maybell uranium project has been staked in an area of northwest Colorado that contains historical uranium mines and other known mineralised occurrences. The project currently comprises a total of 586 lode claims, covering approximately 4,740 ha, and is located approximately 40 km west of the town of Craig. Based on historical uranium production records and reported exploration results, there is significant potential at the Maybell project area for both verification and discovery of near surface uranium resources.
Assay results were received in December for a small reconnaissance drilling program that was completed in the southern part of the project area to test several zones with anomalous radiometric responses. There were no significant uranium intersections in the drilling and the Company is currently evaluating the next phase of exploration on the project area.

Skull Creek Uranium Project

The Company acquired the Skull Creek uranium project in 2010. The project consists of 72 lode claims that cover an area of approximately 580 ha and is located in north?western Colorado; approximately 110 km west of the town of Craig and about 75 km west of the Company's Maybell uranium project. The project is situated in an active coal mining area.
No work was undertaken at the Skull Creek project during the quarter.

Virgin Valley Uranium Project

The Virgin Valley uranium project is located in northwest Nevada, USA. The Company holds 37 federal lode claims that comprise a total of approximately 740 ha, and which cover a known historical uranium prospect hosted in volcanic rocks and associated sedimentary units within a volcanic caldera complex. The project is located in an active mining area, approximately 500 km north of Reno and approximately 100 km west of the Company's Aurora uranium project in Oregon.
No work was undertaken at the Virgin Valley project during the quarter.

Coyote Basin Project

The Coyote Basin project currently comprises a single State of Colorado Uranium Mining Lease and 522 federal lode claims located in Moffat and Rio Blanco counties in northwest Colorado. The project is close to infrastructure and is located approximately 35 km to the northwest of the town of Meeker; and some 40 km to the southwest of the Company's Maybell uranium project.
No work was undertaken at the Coyote Basin project during the quarter.

USA Exploration Outlook

The Company expects to continue its exploration and development programmes in the US during the following quarter. The following work is proposed:

Energy Ventures Limited December 2011 Quarterly Report

? Ongoing metallurgical testwork to assess the leaching and recovery characteristics of the Aurora uranium mineralisation and to determine a preferred processing technique.

? Formal initiation of the statutory permitting process for the Aurora project in Oregon.

? Commencement of baseline environmental studies at the Aurora project.

? Update of the Aurora deposit resource estimate.

? Compilation of historical data from the Company's projects.

? Ongoing assessment of other mineral project opportunities in western USA.
