NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan TheNewswire - September 7, 2021 UEX Corporation (TSX:UEX) ( OTC:UEXCF ) ("UEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced "bought deal" private placement of an aggregate of 72,950,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of C$0.29 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of C$21,155,500 (the "Offering"). The Units were offered and sold through a syndicate of underwriters led by Sprott Capital Partners LP, as lead underwriter and sole book-runner, together with BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., Red Cloud Securities Inc. and TD Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters").

Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each a "Common Share") and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of C$0.40 at any time on or before September 7, 2024.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the Offering to meet the Company's obligation under its loan agreement with Denison Mines Corp. (see UEX's news release dated August 3, 2021), for exploration at the Company's properties, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Company paid the Underwriters a cash commission of 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. The Underwriters also received broker warrants ("Broker Warrants") equal to 6% of the total number of Units sold, each Broker Warrant being exercisable for a Common Share at $0.29 for a period of 36 months from the date of closing of the Offering.

The securities issued by UEX in connection with the Offering are subject to a four month plus one day "hold period" as prescribed by the Toronto Stock Exchange and applicable securities laws.

An insider of the Company purchased Units under the Offering. The Offering to such person constituted a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multi-lateral Instrument 61‑101 ‑ Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61‑101"). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61‑101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61‑101 in respect of related party participation in the placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related party, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

Mart Wolbert, analyst at Contrarian Codex, shared his latest thoughts on the uranium market, including what's next for prices and key factors to watch when it comes to supply and demand.

When asked how far the current cycle has progressed, he said that in the context of his "stadium" model, a concept he explained in a previous interview, uranium's half-time break is almost over.

"That's not to say that we won't have any water breaks in between as the equities pull back and go up. That's just the nature of the market, it's the nature of any market. Nothing goes up in a straight line," Wolbert said.
