Operational Update

(ASX: SLX) (OTCQX: SILXY)

Forward Looking Statements

Silex Systems is a research and development Company whose primary asset is the SILEX laser uranium enrichment technology, originally developed at the Company's technology facility in Sydney, Australia. The SILEX technology, licensed exclusively to GE-Hitachi Global Laser Enrichment LLC (GLE) in the USA, is currently in the engineering development stage and plans for commercial deployment remain distant and high risk.

Silex also has an interest in a unique semiconductor technology known as 'cREO™' through its ownership of subsidiary Translucent Inc. The cREO™ technology is exclusively licensed to IQE Plc based in the UK. IQE is progressing the cREO™ technology towards commercial deployment in various advanced semiconductor products. The outcome of IQE's commercialisation program remains high risk.

The commercial potential of these two technologies is currently unknown. Accordingly, the statements in this presentation regarding the future of the SILEX technology, the cREO™ technology and any associated commercial prospects are forward looking and actual results could be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements as a result of various risk factors.

Some risk factors that could affect future results and commercial prospects include, but are not limited to: results from the SILEX uranium enrichment engineering development program being conducted jointly by the Company and GLE; the demand for natural uranium and enriched uranium; the time taken to develop the SILEX technology; results from IQE's commercialisation program and the demand for cREO™ products, the potential development of competing technologies; the potential for third party claims against the Company's ownership of Intellectual Property; the potential impact of government regulations or policies in the USA, Australia or elsewhere; and the outcomes of various commercialisation strategies undertaken by the Company and/or its Licensees GLE and IQE.

The forward looking statements included in this presentation involve subjective judgment and analysis and are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, risks and contingencies, many of which are outside the control of, and are unknown to Silex. Given these uncertainties, you are cautioned to not place undue reliance on such forward looking statements.
