Recent Developments

As previously announced on October 29, 2013, First Uranium entered into a definitive
agreement (Arrangement Agreement) with Algold Resources Ltd. (Algold) pursuant to which
Algold will acquire, by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement, all of the issued and
outstanding units (FIU Units) of First Uranium (the Transaction).

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, it is intended that First Uranium
shareholders will receive 0.0729849 of an Algold share for each Unit held. In addition, for
every full Algold share issued to a First Uranium shareholder, such holder will receive ½ of one
Algold common share purchase warrant (the "Algold Warrants"). Each full Algold Warrant
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Algold share at a price of $0.20 per Algold share at
any time for a period of eighteen months following the issuance of the Algold Warrants. Full
details with respect to the terms of the Transaction and the Arrangement Agreement are
included in the management information circular dated November 8, 2013, which was mailed
to all registered holders of units of the Corporation, as at the record date, on November 13,
2013, and which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Pro forma the Transaction, First Uranium shareholders will own approximately 52% of Algold
(based on fully diluted in the-money shares outstanding) subject to adjustments pursuant to
the Arrangement Agreement.
Summary of Financial Results

The Corporation reported losses from its continuing operations of $0.3 million in Q2 2014 (Q2
2013: loss of $5.6 million) and $0.3 million in 2014 YTD (2013 YTD: $16.0 million).

Prior to the disposal of its discontinued operations in Q2 2013, the Corporation reported a net
profit from its discontinued operations of $74.3 million in Q2 2013, comprised of a profit of
$78.9 million from the disposal of First Uranium’s two operations offset by a loss of $4.6
resulting from the activities of the operations up to date of disposal. For 2013 YTD, the
Corporation reported profits from its discontinued operations of $108.6 million, comprised of
the profit from disposal of the operations as well as a net profit of $29.7 resulting from the

respectively, of its remaining cash on ongoing corporate expenses. During Q2 2013 and 2013

$14.1 million and $10.1 million, respectively.

During Q2 2013 and 2013 YTD, First Uranium raised $338.4 million net cash proceeds from the
disposal of the operations of which $60.3 million was placed in escrow accounts for a six-
month period. The Corporations operations utilized $4.3 million in Q2 2013 and $7.9 million
during 2013 YTD on capital projects and other investing activities related to its discontinued
operations.

As at September 30, 2013, the Corporation’s current assets were $4.5 million (March 31, 2013:
