Uranium Energy Corp President and CEO, Amir Adnani, said:
We enthusiastically welcome all four key personnel to their new titles and responsibilities with the Company. Harry Anthony has been an integral part of the team as UEC grew from a small private exploration company into an emerging uranium producer in the U.S. He will continue to play a vital role advising the production operations team. Bob Underdown, now Vice President of Production & Operations, has managed several ISR mines in South Texas and has played a key role in establishing the Company as a uranium producer. Andy Kurrus, now Vice President of Resource Development, has made a number of uranium discoveries in South Texas including our recently announced Burke Hollow Project. All of these appointments strengthen UEC and provide the Company with the expertise and energy to increase in-ground resources, advance permitting on multiple fronts and build-out our low-cost hub-and-spoke production strategy.
