REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

CORPORATE

With the funds withdrawal from equity markets, and the reduction in interest in uranium stocks in particular, most uranium exploration businesses reduced dramatically in market value, with Toro being no exception. The impact on ASX listed uranium stocks has been greater than those of other countries.

However investors, particularly in North America and Europe, have an increasing understanding that the nuclear power expansion globally provides strong incentive for investment in new uranium mines. During the quarter the United Kingdom and Canada joined other countries in committing to expand and renew their nuclear power generation facilities.

At the same time, uranium production from existing, expanding and new mines is continuing to under-perform optimistic forecasts. Global 2007 uranium production (reported during the quarter), was less than 2006 production. While the short term spot price appears to be moving in a range of US$65 to $90 per lb U3O8, the long term price, which depicts the level at which new term contracts are being set, has remained buoyant at US$90 to 95 per lb for over 12 months. Term contracts are being reported using a hybrid pricing, with a fixed component (related to the long term price) and a spot price component, with floors on the spot component of between US$40 to $60 per lb.

Consequently investors are now re-entering the equity market in uranium stocks, in particular where companies have developable resources in politically favourable regions. Toro Energy provided investor and shareholder briefings in the USA, Canada, London and Europe, with particular interest being expressed in the Company’s Napperby Project in the NT.

Toro’s 46% shareholder Oxiana Ltd announced a merger with Zinifex Ltd. Oxiana continues to support its interest in Toro Energy.

Toro continues to provide information to the Western Australian Office of State Revenue (WAOSR) in regard to its stamp duty liability on the Nova transaction. Our professional advisors assisting Toro have not recommended any change in the stamp duty provision.

At the end of quarter, the Company held cash and net receivables of $15.7 million. The final merging of the Nova Energy and Toro Energy accounts and financials were completed early in the quarter.

EXPLORATION

The Australian exploration licences and applications held by Toro, or subject to uranium access and joint venture rights, as at 31 March 2008 totaled approximately 44,000km² in South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, as shown in Figure 1. African interests include tenements in Namibia and Guinea, totaling 2,180km² and an MOU for exploration review work with the Kingdom of Morocco. Over the period January to March 2008 a number of changes in interests in mining tenements occurred. Toro Energy relinquished its interest in EL/3475 (Lake Eyre) and its Uranium rights over EL/3697 (Calca) and E63/1011 (Dundas). Tenement areas were reduced for EL/3486 (Conical Hill down to 618 kmsq), EL3157 (Yerda Well down to 487 kmsq) and EL/3460 (Nuckulla Hill down to 230 kmsq). Toro Energy applied for 1 exploration licence in Western Australia and 12 exploration licences in the Northern Territory. Details on these applications are included in Annexure 1 of the Appendix 5B report.

South Australia Warrior Project Tarcoola Joint Venture – Uranium Only – ELs 3040, 3107 and 3698 – Range River 100% - Toro earning 75%

Stellar Joint Venture – ELs 3372 and 3369W – Stellar Resources 100% - Toro earning up to 70% During March 2008 Toro undertook its fourth exploration drill program over the Warrior Project. The program included the drilling & gamma logging of 83 aircore holes for 4,198m. Hole locations are shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Stage 4 drillholes located across the palaeochannel floodplain & thalweg, and between Anomalous Uranium Zones, designated as Area A and Area B

Anomalous uranium (>100ppm U3O8 over one metre discrete sample intervals) has been previously reported in numerous drill holes in both Area A and B. In general, intersections are between one and seven metre thicknesses with grades in the 100 - 900ppm U3O8 range. Thicker intervals, where they occur, are generally in the 100-250ppm U3O8 range with Area A providing a more coherent mineralisation picture than Area B. The latest drilling was undertaken on east-west traverses, across the floodplain and thalweg of the Warrior Palaeochannel, with holes located adjacent and between the previously identified anomalous uranium bearing zones of the palaeochannel. Maximum gamma response was in the order of 500 cps, and where gamma counts were recorded above 250 cps samples were taken and submitted for analysis. The results of these are still pending. A Part 9B Access Agreement has been drafted and submitted to the Far West Coast Native Title group to allow access into the southern extension of the palaeochannel, which has never been drill tested.

Labyrinth Project Labyrinth Joint Venture – Uranium Only – ELs 3120, 3121 and 3252 – Dominion Gold Operations Pty Ltd Tarcoola Joint Venture –Uranium Only - EL 3698 – Range River Gold Ltd

During December 2007, 31 holes for 2,085m were drilled on EL3252 Labyrinth and 14 holes for 707m were drilled on EL3024 Gosse Range. The drill holes encountered palaeochannel infill sediments including carbonaceous sands, silts and clays over weathered basement. EL3980 Gosse Range had a small portion of palaeochannel, identified by PIRSA as the headwaters of the Kingoonya palaeodrainage system. Toro drilled a series of aircore holes using gamma directed sampling, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Toro 2007 drilling (blue dots), historic drillholes (black dots) within EL3980. Kingoonya Palaeochannel (PIRSA interpretation) in blue hatching.

Carbonaceous sands were encountered in three of the holes, being AC07GR001, 002 & 003. Gamma response was generally low <90 cps and assays confirmed little anomalous uranium in these intervals. In summary, uranium assays (XRF by AMDEL) for the drillholes indicated that uranium is present in low concentrations (<30 ppm U3O8). Maximum assay grade encountered on both tenements was a 1m assay from hard rock of 88 ppm U3O8. Further work programs on these tenements are being reviewed. Location of drilling on EL3252 Labyrinth tenement is shown in Figure 4. Thirty one holes were drilled for 2,087m. Assay results have shown indications of uranium at low levels, with maximum of 19ppm U3O8.

Figure 5: Location of holes drilled over the Grass Patch Project tenements

Assay results for the holes indicated some concentrations of uranium to low levels only, with a maximum assay of 39ppm U3O8 in drill hole G09-2. However, in an adjacent hole (G09-3) elevated nickel (4,310ppm and 2,030ppm) and zinc (200ppm and 175ppm) were assayed from 1m samples at 61 – 63 m depth. Toro is reviewing these results in line with the geological interpretation.

Alpha cup survey results over parts of the Chungochoab tenement (EPL 3670) about 80km south-southeast of Swakopmund were received. These showed significant radon signatures over potential palaeochannel areas, which align with the more regional radiometric data. A reconnaissance drill program has now been approved for three target areas and will commence in early May. (Figure 7).

Assay results from the recent Gawib West (EPL 3668) drilling program showed only around double background uranium levels. Likely future work may be alpha cup surveys to determine further extent of channels to north. Initial reconnaissance and sampling has been carried out over the Tumas North (EPL 3669) tenement in the area which may contain alaskite extensions from Bannerman’s ground to the north.

GUINEA PR N°A 2006/79, 2006/80, 2006/153 and 2006/154 Toro has four exploration permits located in northern Guinea. The permits cover Neoproterozoic sediments that were the focus of a large uranium exploration project managed by Cogema between 1977 and 1981. Upgrading of the ~50km access track into the more prospective Domou project area was commenced during the quarter, and is approximately 65% complete. This will improve access for drilling and supply equipment for a planned drill program. A program designed to confirm the historically identified mineralisation and test for the presence of a high grade channel on a closer spaced grid is being considered.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Napperby Project The Napperby Project is an historic mineralised zone discovered and explored by CRA Exploration and Uranerz in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The project comprises an extensive, shallow, consistent mineralised zone which is relatively low grade, but is reasonably close to infrastructure. Toro has an Option Agreement with Deep Yellow Ltd over the Napperby Project which allows 100% purchase of the project at a capped price at any stage over a three year period. The 2007 resource drilling program extended from September to December 2007, and involved 305 holes for approximately 3,200m drilling. Both 300mm diameter auger drilling (123 holes) and sonic core drilling (182 holes) were undertaken. An additional 23 trial aircore holes were also drilled. Significant intersections from the latest assay results, covered 204 holes, are shown in the table below and the extent of the drilling is shown in Figure 9.

Initial metallurgical leach tests are underway, and petrology work on samples is still pending. Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures continue to support the validity of the drilling, sampling and assay techniques used.

The calculation of an extended and upgraded resource will be undertaken with estimated completion in the latter part of second quarter 2008. The Toro Project team has commenced the outline of a planned scoping study for Napperby, including ongoing metallurgical testing, baseline environmental work, and initial groundwater and hydrogeological studies. A further extensive drilling program utilising both sonic and aircore drilling is planned to commence in May to further extend confidence in the uranium mineralisation. Community engagement with local traditional owners through the Central Land Council (CLC) is ongoing. F

Lake Way / Centipede - Pre-feasibility Study

GRG Minproc continued work on the Lake Way / Centipede pre-feasibility study with a range of processing and mining options being considered. Processing options include conventional milling with CCD solid/liquid separation, conventional milling with resin-in-pulp uranium recovery and heap leaching. Mining options being considered include bulk mining using a conventional excavator and trucks and alternatively continuous miners with very tight grade control to minimise dilution. The study is expected to be completed late May and will be followed by a review.

In support of the study ANSTO completed their report on mineralogy, leaching and resin performance. Additional work was commissioned on tailings settlement to determine if leachate recovery and water utilisation could be improved and long term tailings storage could be managed in an environmentally appropriate way.

Baseline weather and continuous dust monitoring was concluded. Environmental baseline reports on soils, background radiation, flora, fauna and aquatic ecology were completed.

A water extraction permit was granted by the Department of Water and the Department of Conservation and Environment to access the old Wiluna South bores, test water qualities and conduct pump tests over the area.

The pre-feasibility study is expected to be completed in June 2008.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The Business Development group continues to evaluate opportunities in the uranium industry. Notwithstanding the recent equity market weakness and the affect on the Toro share price, the recent correction also provides an opportunity for considered industry consolidation. It is Toro Energy’s view that the uranium market in Australia needs to mature with the evolution of several larger scale mid-cap companies with the credibility and resources to develop uranium mines. Toro intends to be a leader in this process although proposals need to be demonstrably value additive.

Business Development is also continuing to foster relationships with key investors, potential investors and potential off-take customers. While investors are cautious about entering the market at this time, medium to longer term interest is evident and the appetite for exposure to projects is particularly strong out of Asia. Toro will continue to expand on these initial investor relations programs in the coming year. Yours faithfully

5.0 Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International Accounting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used do not address atopic, the Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be complied with.

6.0 Preparation of Cash Flow Statement The acquisition of Nova Energy Ltdwill be treated as a 'reverse acquisition' in accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations for Financial Reporting purposes. However, the Appendix 5B has been completed in the name of the legal parent for consistency purposes as it provides users with more meaningful information regarding the cash flows of Toro Energy Ltd. Therefore, comparativedetails for the six months reflect that of Toro for the six month period plus thecash flows of Nova Energy Ltd from the date that control was obtained by Toro.
