CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC) (the "Company" or "UEC") is pleased to report that it has filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2025, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Form 10-Q filing, which includes the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements, related notes thereto and management's discussion and analysis, is available on the Company's website at www.uraniumenergy.com and at www.sec.gov.
Amir Adnani, President and CEO, stated:
"With the U.S. now targeting a fourfold expansion of nuclear capacity and rebuilding its nuclear industrial base under Presidential Executive Orders, UEC's production ramp-up is strategically aligned with the expected increase in uranium demand.
This quarter's operational milestones—commissioning new ISR production in Wyoming and advancing construction in South Texas—underscore how ideally positioned UEC is to meet the call for secure, scalable and 100% domestic uranium supply.
Additionally, preparing our Roughrider project in Canada for pre-feasibility aims to add another layer of reliable uranium supply from a stable jurisdiction for longer term demand. The Administration has made clear that uranium mining, along with conversion and enrichment, are critical to national security. As America's leading uranium company, we are ready to fuel this transformation with low-cost production platforms across the U.S. and Canada."
Christensen Ranch and Irigaray ISR Operations, Wyoming
UEC achieved a significant operational milestone this quarter with the startup of Header House 10-7, marking the first new production area at Christensen Ranch as part of its phased restart. This new header house began delivering feed along with past-producing wellfields 7, 8, and 10 to the satellite ion exchange plant, resulting in a notable increase in uranium head grade from the operating wellfields. Construction of Header House 10-8 is nearly complete, with transformers, motor control centers, programmable logic controllers, and injection and recovery headers installed—only final trenching and tie-ins remain.
Key refurbishment work was completed at both the Christensen Ranch ion exchange plant and the Irigaray Central Processing Plant. At Christensen Ranch, eight ion exchange columns were taken offline for internal piping replacement and vessel recoating, while production continued in the expanded area. At Irigaray, the plant operated normally as refurbishment advanced in the yellowcake packaging area.
Field development advanced with active drilling in wellfield 11 (piloting, casing, underreaming), delineation drilling in wellfield 12, and extensions in wellfields 8 and 10. Consistent with UEC's sustainability commitments and regulatory obligations, plugging and abandonment of wells in wellfield 2 was also initiated during the quarter.
As a result of the ramp-up, employment at Christensen Ranch increased to 63 personnel, supporting the Company's growing operations in Wyoming's Powder River Basin.
Burke Hollow ISR Project, South Texas
Construction at the Burke Hollow Project continued to progress on schedule, with key advances made across wellfield development and processing infrastructure.
In Production Area One (PA-1), drilling activity remained robust with 101 additional holes completed and 65 wells cased to expand the production footprint. Simultaneously, the installation of the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) trunkline between the satellite ion exchange plant and PA-1 began, marking another key step in preparing for flowline integration. At Production Area Two (PA-2), drilling commenced to define the footprint for future perimeter monitor wells, setting the stage for further phased expansion.
Construction of the satellite ion exchange plant also advanced meaningfully. Following completion of the main concrete slab in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, key uranium processing equipment was received, including a resin hauling trailer, motor control centers, and two filter presses. Four ion exchange columns were installed—all positioned and internally piped on the foundation. In parallel, a contract was awarded for the drilling of a deep disposal well, an important component for wastewater management during operational phases.
With these milestones achieved, UEC's South Texas workforce has grown to 40 personnel, supporting the Company's advancing development at Burke Hollow and broader hub-and-spoke platform in the region.
Sweetwater, Wyoming(2)
UEC expects to issue a TRS with an estimate of mineral resources of the Great Divide Basin Hub-and-Spoke by the end of fiscal 2025. In this report, the Sweetwater Plant will be designated as the "Hub," supported by a series of satellite projects or "Spokes."
The Spokes will include:
Red Desert: REB, ENQ, and Sweetwater deposits
Green Mountain: Round Park, Phase 2, Whiskey Peak, and Desert View Resource Zones
Additional nearby properties: JAB, Clarkson Hill, and Red Rim
In parallel with the TRS work, UEC has initiated efforts to amend the conventional mining permits at the Sweetwater Uranium Project. These amendments will incorporate:
ISR mining methods
ISR-mineable resources
A new ion exchange and elution circuit at the Sweetwater Plant
These activities are advancing UEC's development plans for a scalable hub-and-spoke ISR production platform in Wyoming's Great Divide Basin.
Roughrider Project, Saskatchewan
In preparation for a proposed pre-feasibility study, UEC drilled metallurgical holes in 2024 across the West Zone, East Zone, and Far East Zone at the Roughrider Project. The drill cores were collected to confirm metallurgical testing aimed at advancing the project toward the next stage of technical development.
Metallurgical test work, initiated in January 2025, is being conducted by SGS Canada Inc. – Mineral Services at its laboratory in Lakefield, Ontario. Testing completed to date includes:
Bulk solvent extraction on pregnant leach solution to generate raffinate and pregnant strip liquor
Gypsum removal from the pregnant strip liquor
Yellowcake precipitation
Bulk tailings neutralization and effluent treatment
Liquid/solid separation of simulated tailings
In parallel, UEC has initiated a request for proposal to engage qualified firms for the preparation of the forthcoming pre-feasibility study and related TRS.
Notes:
Market values for securities are based on closing prices as at May 30, 2025, and for uranium inventories are based on the spot price quoted on UxC CVD as of such date.
On September 14, 2022, UEC filed an expanded S-K 1300 TRS for the Wyoming Hub-and-Spoke platform, covering properties throughout Wyoming. UEC is now dividing the Wyoming TRS into two Hub-and-Spoke reports – one for the Great Divide Basin Hub (Sweetwater Plant and properties) and the other for the Powder River Basin Hub (Irigaray Plant and properties). The Great Divide Basin Hub-and-Spoke TRS is expected to be issued at the end of fiscal 2025. The Powder River Basin Hub-and-Spoke TRS is expected to be issued shortly thereafter.
