The three newly defined Lake Gilles prospects encompassing Salt Creek, Red Dam and Lake Edge are a direct result of InterMet’s infill gravity survey aimed at seeking specific drill targets, following anomalies previously identified by the South Australian Government PACE funded regional gravity survey. A four hole 2,300m diamond drilling program (Table 1) will commence in December with initial drilling targeting the Salt Creek and Red Dam prospects. Commenting on the gravity anomalies, InterMet’s Managing Director, Mr Gary Ferris said, “The Lake Gilles tenements were selected due to their favourable geological characteristics suitable for Olympic Dam style IOCG mineralization. Given the gravity survey highlights strikingly similar anomalous characteristics with Olympic Dam and the recent Carrapateena copper-gold discovery, Lake Gilles is emerging as the company’s flagship exploration project”. The development of the Prominent Hill copper-gold mine and the recent discovery of Carrapateena has put the exploration spotlight back onto the Gawler Craton for IOCG deposits. The Lake Gilles project has many features that are similar to Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena, and InterMet has secured a drill rig to commence drilling in early December 2006. ANOMALOUS CHARACTERISITCS EXHIBIT KEY VECTORS FOR IOCG MINERALISATION • Density of ~3.3gm/cc, which is in the range for IOCG targets; • High order gravity anomalies between 1 – 4.8mgal; • The Lakes Edge gravity anomaly is overlain by a slightly offset magnetic anomaly, a scenario that is similar to Prominent Hill; • Salt Creek and Red Dam anomalies are located along a major north east (NE) trending structure which is a similar scenario to Carrapateena. - 2 - InterMet Resources Limited DECEMBER 2006 DRILLING PROGRAMME Salt Creek The Salt Creek prospect is located along the western margin of outcropping Burkitt Granite (Figure 1) in close proximity to the Companion Prospect delineated by previous calcrete sampling. Regional calcrete sampling over this area returned multi-element spot highs along a major quartz veined fault structure and a rock chip sample from a well located within 200m of Burkitt Hill recorded 280ppb Au. The well is cut into sericite altered quartz veined Burkitt Granite. InterMet plans to drill one diamond drill hole to 600m (SC-DD1) to test this gravity feature. The hole will be drilled 60° towards 315° to test this feature. The Salt Creek anomaly is a 2.8mgal feature with a modelled depth to the top of the gravity feature of 350m (Table 1). The feature is located on the south eastern part of the Burkitt Pluton along the intersection of the major NE trending structure within the region and a smaller NE trending structure (Figure 3). This hole is designed to penetrate both structures and intersect the gravity target. The main NE trending structure crops out as a 30-40m wide quartz vein, which contains visible sulphides. Red Dam The Red Dam gravity anomaly is located approximately 12km south of the Salt Creek prospect (Figure 1) and comprises a large gravity complex with four discrete anomalies of 3.3gm/cc (Figure 3). Several other 3.2gm/cc anomalies are located within this area with plans for further drilling dependant on receipt of initial results. Three holes will be drilled: 1. RD-DD1 will be drilled 60° towards 270° to test a 1m/gal discrete 3.3mg/cc anomaly (Figure 3) to a depth of 500m. The modelled top surface of the anomaly is 220m. 2. RD-DD2 will be drilled 60° towards 270° to test a 3.5m/gal discrete 3.3mg/cc anomaly (Figure 3) to a depth of 600m. The modelled top surface of the anomaly is 360m. 3. RD-DD3 will be drilled 60° towards 270° to test a 3.2m/gal discrete 3.3mg/cc anomaly (Figure 3) to a depth of 600m. The modelled top surface of the anomaly is 360m. Lake Edge The Lake Edge prospect is located along the eastern margin of Lake Gilles (Figure 3) and is within an area with no previous drill holes. Table 1.

Under the joint ventures announced today Silver Swan can earn up to an 80% interest in the Cocata (EL3462 and 3463) and Watson (EL 3313 and 3323) Projects from InterMet by spending $1M within four years on non-uranium exploration. Silver Swan may withdraw at any time after an initial appraisal period provided it has expended at least $50,000 on each project. The joint ventures are subject to ministerial consent being granted to the agreements and the Australian Stock Exchange Limited granting Silver Swan approval for admission to its official list. Under the joint ventures, Silver Swan can explore for all minerals with the exception of palaeochannel hosted uranium and unconformity-related uranium mineralisation on the Central Gawler Craton Project and all minerals except uranium on the Nullarbor Project. InterMet recently announced it has also signed a joint venture with Uranium Equities Limited (ASX:UEQ) for the Cocata Project on the central Gawler Craton. Managing Director, Gary Ferris said “having two separate joint ventures for different minerals over Cocata maximises the potential for a discovery”. InterMet is currently exploring for palaeochannel hosted uranium at Watson with the first drilling program returning anomalous uranium within groundwater samples. A water sample from hole EWB019 (100m) returned a value of 602 ppb U, which is considered very significant and may represent a pathfinder to a potential mineralised zone within the ancient river system. The second six hole was completed yesterday and water and drill hole samples will be submitted for laboratory analyses next week, with results expected in 2-3 weeks. Many of the drill holes from the first drilling program at Watson intersected basement rocks below the channel with five holes intersecting mafic lithologies which may be perspective for nickel. Garnetiferous gneisses crop out along the shores of Lake Ifould nearby and represent a sequence of rocks the same age as the host rocks of the Challenger Gold Mine, located approximately 100 km to the northeast but within the same tectonic domain. No focused exploration for gold has been undertaken within the project area. - 2 - InterMet Resources Limited Mr Ferris said “the joint ventures with Silver Swan are mutually beneficial agreements that allow InterMet to explore for palaeochannel hosted uranium and unconformityrelated uranium mineralisation within these project areas, whilst allowing Silver Swan to explore prospective basement terrains within the highly sought after Gawler Craton for non-uranium minerals”.

New Exploration Joint Venture in highly prospective Gawler Craton, South Australia Highlights A Joint Venture was announced today whereby Uranium Equities Limited can earn up to 80% interest in 2 large South Australian Exploration Licenses prospective for uranium. The project emphasis will be on uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels which are widespread in the region. Prospective host rocks have been intercepted in drilling by previously explorers and high uranium source rocks are located nearby. Exploration will also focus on unconformity-style uranium mineralization which is viewed as a potential uranium target in the region. The Company advises that this announcement is not the announcement that will remove the trading halt requested by the Company earlier today. - Capital Structure Listed Capital - ordinary shares 133.3M Unlisted Capital - performance shares 14.4M - options 18.0M Uranium Equities Limited (ABN 74 009 799 553) Adelaide Office: Perth Office: Level 6 West Level 2 50 Grenfell Street 1292 Hay Street Adelaide West Perth South Australia 5000 Western Australia 6005 t: +618 8110 0700 t: +61 8 9322 3990 f: +618 8110 0777 f: +61 8 9322 5800 w: www.uel.com.au e: [email protected] Contact: Mark Chalmers, Managing Director 0417 861 482 David Brunt , Executive Director 0419 848 713 1 Uranium Equities Limited is pleased to advise that it has concluded a joint venture agreement with Intermet Resources Limited whereby Uranium Equities can earn an 80% interest in the Cocata Project (ELs 3462 and 3463). These titles are located to the south of known areas of uraniferous Tertiary palaeochannels on the Gawler Craton prospective for palaeochannel uranium deposits and in close proximity to uraniferous granitic source rocks. Uranium Equities can earn up to 80% interest from Intermet by spending $2.0million on exploration within 5 years. Uranium equities can withdraw at any time after and initial appraisal period and after expenditure of at least $175,000 and having met the expenditure conditions of the licenses. The Cocata Uranium Project area was explored during the early 1980’s by Carpentaria Exploration Company Pty Limited with limited drilling across the northern part of the project area. The holes intersected a Tertiary sequence of prospective host sands with interlayer lignites/carbonaceous sediments up to 80 metres thick. Recently, anomalous uranium has been reported from nearby tenements, thereby increasing the prospectivity of the palaeochannel within the Cocata Project area. Exploration by Uranium Equities will use new and advanced technologies for uranium exploration within an area that has not received modern systematic exploration for uranium. Exploration will also focus on unconformity-style uranium mineralization at the base of the Mesoproterozoic (Blue Range Beds). No examples of unconformity-style uranium are yet known from the Gawler Craton, however recently, PIRSA have upgraded the prospectivity of this region for this style of mineralization. Application of similar geophysical methods as those used in the Athabasca Basin (Canada) for unconformity-related uranium will be considered by the Company for application in the Cocota Project.

Friday, 25 August 2006 InterMet launches secondary uranium drilling programme at Watson project, South Australia Potential rollfront uranium zones targeted InterMet Resources (ASX:ITT) is pleased to announce commencement of a second six hole drilling programme focussing on its rollfront uranium targets at the company’s 100% owned Watson project, located in the highly prospective Gawler Craton region, South Australia. InterMet Resources Managing Director, Mr Gary Ferris said, “given previous drilling has already identified the presence of anomalous uranium at Watson with best results including 70ppm uranium in drill cuttings and up to 602 ug/l in water samples, the second round of drilling will focus on further testing the extent of uranium anomalism on the Watson tenement”. The second six hole drilling programme will target potential rollfront uranium zones with holes drilled to basement on 1Km centres. Analysis of existing HositEM and assay results from this second drill programme are expected to be available towards the end of September 2006. “We consider our tenement area acts as a natural trap for uranium due to the fact it is being transported within oxidised groundwater through thick sequences of sands and interlayered organic rich carbonaceous material. “Essentially Watson has the right geological settings for a rollfront uranium system” added Mr Ferris. Best drilling results received to date at Watson include; : Drill Hole Sample Type Depth (m) U Th EWB004 Cuttings (sand) 24-26 34 ppm* 12 ppm* EWB005 Cuttings 28-30 20 ppm* 14 ppm* EWB015 Cuttings 76-78 32 ppm* 14 ppm* EWB017 Cuttings 52-54 70 ppm* 12 ppm* EWB017 Cuttings 54-56 42 ppm* 14 ppm* EWB019 Water 100 602 ug/l** 6.5 ug/l** *Assay by XRF – Amdel code XRF 1 ** Amdel code WAT3M * Initial results from previous analysis as reported to the ASX on 2th July 2006 Intermet Resources also has an extensive tenement holding on the Eyre Peninsula with good potential for hosting roll front uranium deposits.

Following previous results from the company’s maiden 20 hole drilling program (consisting of 1,327 metres at depths ranging from 22 to 100 metres) revealing anomalous uranium up to 244 ug/l from water samples (Hole EWB017), an additional 2 water samples and 44 drill hole samples (cuttings) were submitted for further analysis. Results have confirmed increasing uranium values, indicating the transportation of uranium throughout the palaeochannel (ancient river system) at depths up to 100 metres. Best results received include: Drill Hole Sample Type Depth (m) Uranium Thorium EWB004 Cuttings (sand) 24-26 34 ppm* 12 ppm* EWB005 Cuttings 28-30 20 ppm* 14 ppm* EWB015 Cuttings 76-78 32 ppm* 14 ppm* EWB017 Cuttings 52-54 70 ppm* 12 ppm* EWB017 Cuttings 54-56 42 ppm* 14 ppm* EWB019 Water 100 602 ug/l** 6.5 ug/l** * Assay by XRF – Amdel code XRF 1 ** Amdel code WAT3M InterMet Resources Managing Director, Mr Gary Ferris, said today “exploration at Watson is rapidly advancing with the new results confirming our confidence in the project. From the recent EM survey identifying the existing palaeochannel, to lab results confirming the transportation of uranium throughout this system, the next phase will be to isolate where the uranium within solution is being deposited”. The additional samples confirm that the palaeochannel does contain uranium and potential uranium trap sites are possibly located to the southwest of the current drilling. - 2 - InterMet Resources Limited InterMet has a number of other tenements on Eyre Peninsula with good potential for rollfront uranium in palaeochannel systems. The company recently acquired a strategic holding of land with rollfront uranium potential when it applied for a large area contiguous with its Coulta Project. InterMet also holds a significant part of the Yaninee Palaeochannel (Cocata Project) where Toro Energy recently reported anomalous uranium.
