Uranium Energy Corp Completes Initial 40 Development Holes at First Production Area of its Burke Hollow ISR Project in South Texas

• Burke Hollow's initial Production Area ("PAA-1") is the newest and largest In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") wellfield being developed in the U.S.;
• Strong results demonstrate potential for further resource* growth within PAA-1 with several drill intercepts returning 2.45 to 4.48 grade thickness ("GT"). This is significantly above the 0.3 GT cut-off for ISR resource estimation and wellfield development;
• UEC's South Texas hub-and-spoke strategy is anchored by its fully licensed Hobson Processing Plant and includes five ISR Projects, including its fully permitted Palangana, Goliad and Burke Hollow projects; and

Andy Kurrus, VP of Resource Development stated, "We are pleased with the drilling results to date which continue to improve our understanding of the five Goliad Formation roll fronts or trends within PAA-1. The continuity of the uranium roll fronts, and the exceptional uranium grade intercepts are impressive. The development of Burke Hollow, the only recent uranium discovery in the United States, continues to exhibit the potential to be the largest Goliad Formation deposit ever discovered in the South Texas Uranium Trend. As we plan for additional Production Areas at Burke Hollow, we have a strong pipeline to our ~19,000 acre property, including defined resources outside of PAA-1 and several exploration targets and anomalous areas that have only been lightly explored."

The drilling has targeted trend extensions of the five known fronts within the PAA-1 area. Drill holes, logged by prompt fission neutron ("PFN") equipment, which resulted in intercepts exhibiting GT values equal to or greater than 0.3, utilizing a cutoff parameter of 0.02% grade (pU₃0₈)_, are displayed in the following table:

The 14 holes presented in the table above represent 35% of the 40-hole total drilled to date. The remaining 26 holes were drilled in or nearby lesser mineralization, directly behind or in front of the roll front, thus bracketing the front location.

The project area is a 19,335-acre property located in eastern Bee County within the South Texas Uranium Trend 50 miles to the southeast of the Company's Hobson Processing Plant. Burke Hollow has received all four of its major permits required for uranium extraction from the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality and the Environmental Protection Agency.

The Burke Hollow Goliad mineralization trends lie at depths ranging from 160' to 1100', and follow the outline of an anticlinal structure which has produced abundant natural gas and oil from multiple underlying formations. Several miles of potential mineralized trend length remain only lightly explored to date.

*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.
