The Company recorded production cash costs of $23.29 per pound sold this quarter compared with $20.56 during the previous quarter.

Wayne Heili, president and CEO, said:

Throughout the first full year of production at Lost Creek, the project has been able to achieve operating costs on the lowest end of uranium ISR cost metrics. Our cost profile, in combination with our advanced product marketing strategy, has led us to realize industry-leading margins on our product sales. While we maintain our posture of producing for and selling exclusively into term contracts, we also recognize that the uranium spot price is up 28% over the past three months. The operational flexibility of the Lost Creek ISR Project allows for the opportunity to quickly initiate a spot market sales strategy if uranium pricing continues the upward trajectory.
