MAJOR PERMITTING MILESTONE FOR SALAMANCA PROJECT
 The Nuclear Safety Council has issued a favourable report for the grant of the Initial Authorisation of the proposed process plant as a radioactive facility. 
 This is the first in a three step process required to authorize the plant for operation. 
Berkeley Resources Limited ("Berkeley" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Nuclear Safety Council has issued a favourable report which is compulsory and binding on the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, for the grant of the Initial Authorisation.

The report is an official recognition of the purpose and selected location of the process plant, and represents a significant permitting milestone for the Company.
This authorisation allows the commencement of preliminary infrastructure works to access the plant, notwithstanding any other permits that may be required.
The favourable report also includes technical instructions to the Company for the application for the Authorisation for Construction, which is the second step in the overall three step process. The Company is well advanced in the preparation of the required documentation for this application and expects to make its submission shortly.
The permitting process is now well advanced, with the Environmental License and the Mining License already granted.
