(TSX:UEX) (OTC:UEXCF) ("UEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that is has filed an updated technical report for the Company's 65.5492% directly-owned Christie Lake Project that includes an updated mineral resource estimate for the property. The remaining 34.4508% interest in the Christie Project is owned by JCU (Canada) Exploration Company, Limited, which in turn is 50% owned by the Company and 50% by Denison Mines Corp.

The updated technical report and mineral resource estimate was completed by Mr. Glen Cole, P.Geo. of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc., who is considered to be a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Cole is considered independent of the Company.

The Christie Lake mineral resource estimate was determined using a cut-off grade of 0.20% U3O8. A total of 588,000 tonnes containing 20.35 million pounds of U3O8 at an average grade of 1.57% U3O8 have been estimated in the inferred mineral resource category.

* Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability. All figures have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. Reported at a cut-off grade of 0.2% U3O8.

The current mineral resource estimate includes the results from 200 diamond drill holes totalling 96,160 m which were drilled from 1988 to 2021. Mineralized wireframes of the Paul Bay, Ken Pen, and ?rora Deposits were prepared at a 0.01% U3O8 mineralized threshold to constrain the mineral resource estimate at each deposit area. The estimate was completed by ordinary kriging block using Datamine Studio and Leapfrog software and utilized block sizes of 5 x 10 x 2.5 m for parent blocks and 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 m subcells. The impact of anomalously high-grade samples were controlled through a process of grade capping for all zones.

The mineral resource estimate utilized uranium geochemical analyses from the Saskatchewan Research Council ("SRC") Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, obtained through the Inductively Couple Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy analytical method. Duplicate, and independent check analyses using certified reference materials were collected on one in every 20 samples and one in every 40 samples respectively. Umpire samples were analyzed at the SRC Delayed Neutron Activation laboratory.

The technical report was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"),has been be filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and is available on the Company's website at www.uexcorp.com.
