Corpus Christi, TX, September 30, 2022 – Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC, the “Company” or “UEC” – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/uranium-energy-corp/) is pleased to report, in accordance with NYSE American requirements, the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This Form 10-K filing, which includes the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis, is available for viewing on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml or on the Company’s website at www.uraniumenergy.com.

Amir Adnani, CEO and President stated: “Fiscal 2022 was a truly transformative year for UEC.  We invested close to $420 million in growing our Company with two accretive acquisitions, expansion of Physical Portfolio and development of new ISR production capability.  Our balance sheet is debt free with $173.3 million in cash and liquid assets, providing the financial strength to advance projects towards production and support further accretive acquisitions.  UEC’s strategic objective is to continue building and growing the Company to become a leading supplier of low-cost uranium, a green energy fuel, from proven, politically stable and mining friendly jurisdictions.” 

Mr. Adnani continued: “We have created a unique two-pronged approach with a 100% unhedged market strategy: 1) near term U.S. ISR production; and 2) Canadian high-grade conventional pipeline.  Our U.S. ISR portfolio is built around two hub-and-spoke production platforms in Wyoming and Texas, containing America’s largest resource bases of fully permitted projects and two fully built and operational processing plants.  Wyoming and Texas ISR projects now have over 75 million pounds of Measured and Indicated resources and 25 million pounds of Inferred resources.  Our Canadian high-grade conventional business is comprised of 29 projects, 5 of which are advanced resource-stage and already in strong joint-venture partnerships. The projects in Canada’s Athabasca Basin are among the highest grades globally for conventional mining.”

Mr. Adnani concluded: “The global mega-trends of electrification and decarbonization driven by demand for emission-free electricity have created unprecedented growth and acceptance of nuclear power.  The need for safe, 24-7, economic, baseload energy positions nuclear electricity generation as an integral component in the green energy transition.  Furthermore, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Western overdependence on former Soviet Union supply, confirms the need to develop Western supplies of uranium for energy and national security.  To that end, our low-cost, permitted U.S. ISR production platforms and Canadian high-grade conventional projects, along with our Physical Portfolio provide secure supply sources for Western uranium demand.”
