Uranium Energy Corp Expands Wyoming Hub and Spoke ISR Platform with Additional Resources and Filing of S-K 1300 Report

Corpus Christi, TX, September 15, 2022 - Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC; “UEC” or the “Company” - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/uranium-energy-corp/ ) is pleased to announce that it has filed a Technical Report Summary (“TRS”) on EDGAR disclosing updated mineral resources for the Company’s Wyoming ISR Hub and Spoke Project (the “Project”).

Background:

• As a U.S. domestic and domiciled company, UEC is now reporting all mineral resources in accordance with Item 1302 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”);
• S-K 1300 was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to modernize mineral property disclosure requirements for mining registrants and to align U.S. disclosure requirements more closely for mineral properties with current industry and global regulatory standards; and
• The mineral resource estimates set forth in this TRS for Charlie, Clarkson Hill, Nine Mile and Red Rim have not previously been reported under the S-K 1300 format. The remaining resources were reported on April 5, 2022.

The TRS was prepared under S-K 1300 and was filed on September 14, 2022 with the SEC through EDGAR on Form 8-K and is also available on SEDAR as a “Material Document” filed on September 14, 2022. The TRS was prepared on behalf of the Company by WWC Engineering, of Sheridan, Wyoming.

Amir Adnani, President and CEO, stated: “UEC’s Wyoming Hub and Spoke Platform holds the largest resource base of fully permitted In-Situ Recovery (“ISR”) projects in the United States. Today’s resource report is the culmination of multiple acquisitions we’ve successfully completed since 2017 to fulfill a strategic objective of U.S. uranium leadership. Wyoming is an integral component of the overall strategy as a proven mining-friendly jurisdiction with over 230 million pounds of historic production and containing the largest in-situ recovery amenable uranium deposits in the Western Hemisphere. UEC’s ~66M pounds of measured and indicated resources and the ~15M pounds of inferred resources outlined in the TRS filing represent one of the largest S-K 1300 resource summaries completed and filed to date. These considerable permitted Wyoming resources, coupled with our Texas permitted projects, positions UEC to lead the resurgence of U.S. uranium production. At a time of unprecedented geopolitical events and risks, fully permitted and low-cost ISR projects in the United States will be critical to reducing dependency on Russia while strengthening national and energy security interests of America.”

About the Wyoming Asset Hub and Spoke In-Situ Recovery Project

The Project consists of 12 Project areas as shown below.

Wyoming ISR Hub and Spoke Project Areas

Project Area	County	Structural Basin
Allemand-Ross	Converse	Powder River
Barge	Converse	Powder River
Charlie	Johnson	Powder River
Christensen Ranch	Johnson/Campbell	Powder River
Clarkson Hill	Natrona	Wind River
Irigaray	Johnson	Powder River
Jab/West Jab	Sweetwater/Fremont	Greater Green River
Ludeman	Converse	Powder River
Moore Ranch	Campbell	Powder River
Nine Mile	Natrona	Powder River
Red Rim	Carbon	Greater Green River
Reno Creek	Campbell	Powder River

Christensen Ranch and Irigaray (Willow Creek): The Willow Creek area is comprised of the Irigaray and Christensen Ranch Projects. Christensen Ranch is currently under care and maintenance by the Company and Irigaray is operating in a toll processing capacity. The Project is located in the PRB in Campbell and Johnson Counties. The Irigaray Central Processing Plant is the hub of the Project and is fully licensed, as is the Christensen Ranch satellite plant.

Moore Ranch: The Moore Ranch Project is fully permitted and was previously developed by Conoco in the early 1980s. The Project is located in the PRB in Campbell County.

Reno Creek: The Reno Creek Project is fully permitted and was primarily developed by Rocky Mountain Energy in the 1980s. The project is located in the PRB in Campbell County. See the Company’s release dated February 9, 2022.

Ludeman: The Ludeman Project is fully permitted, is located in the South Powder River Basin (“SPRB”) in Converse County, and is comprised of the former Leuenberger, North Platte and Peterson projects developed in the late 1970’s by various other operators. Two ISR pilot plant operations were previously carried out at the Leuenberger and North Platte properties. Most of the Project area was held by Power Resources (Cameco) until 2003, after which Energy Metals (precursor to U1A) acquired the properties.

Allemand – Ross: The Allemand-Ross Project is located in Converse County within the SPRB. The Project was originally drilled and developed by Conoco beginning in the late 1960s. The mineralized trends are northerly extensions of those at Cameco’s Smith Ranch/Highland Uranium Project.

Barge: The Barge Project is located in Converse County in the SPRB. It is near the site of the former Bear Creek Uranium Mine operated by Rocky Mountain Energy in the 1970s and 80s. The majority of the mineralization is within deeper trends not developed previously.

Jab/West Jab: The Jab Project is located in the Greater Green River Basin (“GGRB”) in Sweetwater County. The Project area was extensively explored during the 1970s through the mid-1980s with the principal exploratory work and drilling completed by Union Carbide Corporation and Western Nuclear Corporation. In 2006 and 2007, U1A conducted exploratory and verification drilling on portions of the Project.

Charlie: The Charlie Project is a state mineral lease that is 90% surrounded by UEC’s Christensen Ranch permit and wellfield operations. The Charlie Project ore body is well defined and is a continuation of UEC’s ore body located between Mine Unit 8 and Mine Unit 10 at Christensen Ranch. A Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Permit to Mine exists for the Charlie Project which UEC intends to update to current standards for ISR mining and incorporate the Project as two additional Mine Units of the Christensen Ranch Project.

Clarkson Hill: Clarkson Hill is located on the southern edge of the Wind River Basin, 26 miles from Casper in Natrona County. Roll-front type uranium mineralization was discovered at Clarkson Hill during the 1950s, but the property was more extensively explored from the 1970s through the mid-80s. Most of this work was completed by Minerals Exploration Company, a subsidiary of Union Oil. 

Nine Mile: The Nine Mile Project is located in the southwestern portion of the PRB just north of Casper. Uranium mineralization exists in typical Wyoming roll front systems within sandstones of the upper Cretaceous Teapot Sandstone of the Mesa Verde formation. The property was previously developed by Rocky Mountain Energy in the late 70s through the early 80s and was ISR pilot tested at that time. Energy Metals initiated delineation drilling in Wyoming on this property in September 2006.

Red Rim: The Red Rim Project was formerly developed by Union Carbide, Wold Uranium and Union Pacific Minerals. Mineralization is in the Tertiary Fort Union formation within the GGRB. Three Fort Union sandstone zones host roll front mineralization and the strike is projected at up to fifteen miles.

The following map shows the location of these projects within the Wyoming Project area.
