Dear Sir/Madam

Please find attached Mining Exploration Entity Quarterly Report December 2007. At the end of the December Quarter Uranium Exploration Australia Limited (UXA) had a cash balance of $5.3 million.
UXA's cash balance has been further enhanced with the receipt of $3.45 million in January 2008, under the terms of the Farm-in Agreement executed in December 2007 with RIL Australia (RILA), a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited of India.

In early January the Farm-in and JV Agreement received Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Commonwealth of Australia), and South Australian ministerial consent pursuant to section 83 of the Mining Act 1971 (South Australia) for the SA exploration licences. Commonwealth approval and SA ministerial consent triggered cash payments from RILA to UXA of $1.15 million as payment for prior exploration data and $2.3 million earn-in to be applied towards UXA's share of future exploration expenditure.

In return, RILA received 49% undivided interest in four of UXA's exploration licences (ELs) in South Australia and will receive a 49% interest in four exploration licence applications (ELAs) in the Northern Territory (following grant to EL status).

In addition, RILA will also spend up to $9.45 million towards future exploration expenditures as its 49% ownership interest in the joint venture.
