Cash Placement To Areva Completed
The Directors of Murchison United NL ("Murchison" or "The Company") (ASX:MUR, AIM:MUU) advise that the
placement to Areva NC ("Areva") for cash has been completed under the terms of the Cooperation
Agreement with Areva announced on 25 June 2008.
The placement raised A$2,698,732 through the issue of 20,009,611 ordinary shares at a price of
A$0.13487179 each, equal to the 8-week Volume Weighted Average Price of Murchison's shares preceding
the announcement of the Cooperation Agreement. As a result of this placement, Areva now holds a 5%
stake in Murchison.
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, Murchison is also to issue shares to Areva equivalent to a
further 10% in consideration for access to its extensive geological database on Mauritania, including
Bir En Nar, and provision of technical services, equipment and personnel. Arrangements are being
finalised for the convening of a General Meeting in order to obtain shareholder approval for this share
issue, along with ratification of the current placement.
The funds raised through this placement, together with the information and technical resources to be
made available by Areva under the agreement, will be used by Murchison to accelerate the exploration
and development of its portfolio of uranium projects in Mauritania, West Africa.
For further details of the Cooperation Agreement with Areva, please refer to the announcement of 25
June 2008, available at our website at www.murchisonunited.com.au.

Murchison ordinary shares are quoted) under section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 ("Act")
