CORPUS CHRISTI, TX, Nov. 11, 2013 /CNW/ - Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE MKT: UEC, the "Company") is pleased to announce it has initiated an exploration and delineation drilling campaign this month at the Burke Hollow Project utilizing proceeds from a recently completed equity financing. Two rigs are on site and have drilled five holes at the project with an additional 75 holes to be completed over the coming weeks. One of the new holes has been cased and is being used for regional baseline studies.

The accelerated resource drilling and production permitting programs at Burke Hollow follow the Company's completion on October 25, 2013 of an equity financing whereby three institutional investors purchased 3,380,954 Units of the Company at a price of $2.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $7,100,003.

Amir Adnani, President and CEO, stated: "The current program at Burke Hollow will allow the Company to further delineate and explore for additional resources at the Project while accelerating the production permit application process. With the Hobson plant having a physical capacity of processing two million pounds U3O8 per year, we plan to take the necessary steps now so that we can maximize the Company's uranium output when higher uranium prices are realized."

Notice to U.S. Investors



The mineral resources referred to herein have been estimated in accordance with the definition standards on mineral resources of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in NI 43-101 and are not compliant with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Industry Guide 7 guidelines. In addition, measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources and inferred mineral resources, while recognized and required by Canadian regulations, are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Accordingly, we have not reported them in the United States. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral resources in these categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves. These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In particular, it should be noted that mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources or inferred mineral resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of the reported measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources or inferred mineral resources referred to herein are economically or legally mineable.
