In February 2008, UMC Energy PLC ("PLC") secured an A$0.5 million (GBP224,000 as translated at 1 February 2008) loan facility from Natasa Mining Ltd ("Natasa"). The loan bore interest at 15% per annum on funds drawn, was unsecured and was repayable in August 2008 or upon PLC raising further debt or equity funding. The facility bore a facility fee of A$15,000 (GBP6,729). The loan was not repaid in August 2008 and with the forbearance of Natasa became repayable under the same terms as the March 2008 loan, referred to below.

In March 2008, PLC secured a further loan facility from Natasa for an unspecified amount to be used in meeting its working capital requirements, including funds to be expended on the Morondava uranium project and the Papua New Guinea petroleum project. The loan bore interest at 15% per annum on funds drawn, was secured by a negative pledge over the equity interest in Uramad SA and was repayable within 60 days following a demand by Natasa. The facility bore a draw down fee of 3% of funds drawn.

In October 2009, PLC repaid A$2.4 million (GBP1,345,920) of the loan amount through the issue of 213,638,095 ordinary GBP0.005 shares at a premium of GBP0.0013 per share to Natasa.

On 2 August 2013, Natasa, the Company and PLC entered into a loan facility agreement whereby Natasa agreed to make available to the Company a loan facility of not less than GBP1.7 million ($2.8 million) for the period up to 31 January 2015 at a rate of interest of 15% compounded annually and a fee of 3% of amounts drawn down, capitalised with the loan, and repayment on 60 days notice provided that such notice cannot be given prior to 31 January 2015 or earlier on the occurrence of an event of default (which would include Natasa not having two representatives on the Board of the Company). Security for this facility is a charge over the shares held by the Company in its subsidiaries. At the same time, the parties entered a deed of novation whereby the Company assumed all of the liabilities of PLC to Natasa pursuant to the various facilities described above.
