Bannerman Resources Limited (ASX:BMN)(TSX:BAN)(NAMIBIAN:BMN) ("Bannerman" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the A$2 million capital raising by way of a Share Purchase Plan ("SPP") and subsequent shortfall placements.

Further to the announcement on 20 April 2015, the Company has placed A$250,000 with an existing institutional shareholder.

The SPP and shortfall placements were conducted at an issue price of A$0.052 (C$0.049) and will result in Bannerman issuing a total of 38,461,538 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. Bannerman expects to allot the shares under the shortfall placement on 24 April 2015. The new shares will be issued within the Company's existing placement capacity and will rank equally with existing ordinary shares in the Company.

The Board wishes to thank participating shareholders for their ongoing endorsement of Bannerman's strategy to further enhance the Etango Project's early mover advantage. The funds will be used to operate the recently constructed Etango Heap Leach Demonstration Plant ("Demonstration Plant") and for general working capital purposes.

Bannerman's Chief Executive Officer, Len Jubber, said:

"The successful completion of the A$2 million capital raising, through the strong support of two major institutional shareholders and the directors, enables Bannerman to continue investing in enhancing the Etango Project's early mover advantage."

Bannerman's advancing Etango Project remains one of the very few globally significant uranium projects that can realistically be brought into production in the medium term."

Len Jubber, Chief Executive Officer
