                                   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  hereby  notifies  ASX  (as the operator of the prescribed  financial  market  on  which  the
Murchison  ordinary shares are quoted) under section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations  Act  2001  ("Act")
that:

            (b)       the Company has complied with section 674 of the Act.

Quotation agreement

1       +Quotation  of our additional +securities is in ASX's absolute discretion.  ASX may  quote  the
        +securities on any conditions it decides.

2       We warrant the following to ASX.

                The  issue  of  the +securities to be quoted complies with the law and is  not  for  an
                illegal purpose.

                There is no reason why those +securities should not be granted +quotation.

                An  offer  of  the  +securities for sale within 12 months after their  issue  will  not
                require disclosure under section 707(3) or section 1012C(6) of the Corporations Act.
                Note:  An  entity  may need to obtain appropriate warranties from subscribers  for  the
                securities in order to be able to give this warranty

                Section  724  or  section  1016E  of  the  Corporations  Act  does  not  apply  to  any
                applications received by us in relation to any +securities to be quoted and  that  no-
                one  has any right to return any +securities to be quoted under sections 737,  738  or
                1016F  of  the  Corporations Act at the time that we request that the  +securities  be
                quoted.
        
                If  we  are  a trust, we warrant that no person has the right to return the +securities
                to  be  quoted under section 1019B of the Corporations Act at the time that we request
                that the +securities be quoted.

3       We will indemnify ASX to the fullest extent permitted by law in respect of any claim, action or
        expense arising from or connected with any breach of the warranties in this agreement.

4       We  give  ASX  the  information and documents required by this form.   If  any  information  or
        document  not  available now, will give it to ASX before +quotation of the +securities  begins.
        We  acknowledge that ASX is relying on the information and documents.  We warrant that they are
        (will be) true and complete.
