Stock Reviews and Rating Analysis 
Bannerman Resources Limited (BMN:AU), developing uranium assets in Namibia, has been classified as a late stage Phase I company and rated ‘3’ on the five point PortfolioDirect rating scale where a ‘5’ is the highest rating on the risk adjusted quality scale.  Bannerman Resources is relatively well positioned on the resource quality rating scale with particularly strong locational attributes due to its position in a major global uranium province.  The company offers strong leverage to an improvement in uranium market conditions with a high likelihood of project completion adding to the value proposition.  An on-site small scale demonstration plant simulating the heap leach process should add to confidence about the development potential and enhance the funding capacity of the company.  Uranium market conditions are dominating the timing of the Etango development.
