UEX Provides Additional Information Regarding the West Bear Technical Report

(TheNewswire)

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan TheNewswire - September 1, 2022 UEX Corporation ("UEX" or the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uranium Energy Corporation (NYSE:UEC), provides additional information relating to the technical report titled "Independent Technical Report on the West Bear Project, Saskatchewan" dated July 25, 2022 for the Company's 100% owned West Bear property filed on SEDAR and announced by news release on August 8, 2022 ("2022 Technical Report"). The 2022 Technical Report includes a new mineral resource estimate for the West Bear property.

The mineral resource estimate disclosed in the 2022 Technical Report totalled 295,000 tonnes containing 3.763 million pounds cobalt (Co) at an average grade of 0.58% Co, and 3.164 million pounds nickel (Ni) at an average grade 0.49% Ni as an indicated mineral resource using a cut-off grade of 0.14% cobalt equivalent (CoEq.), as set out in Table 1 below.

Table 1 – West Bear Deposit Mineral Resource Estimates

Category		Grade		Contained Metal
	Quantity (Tonnes)	Cobalt (%)	Nickel (%)	Cobalt (‘000 lb)	Nickel (‘000 lb)
Indicated	295,000	0.58	0.49	3,763	3,164

*Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into mineral reserve. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. Resources were estimated using a cut-off grade of 0.14% CoEq and consider metal prices of US$32.84 per pound cobalt and US$ 11.64 per pound nickel. Cobalt equivalent ("CoEq") grades have been calculated using the following factor CoEq% = Co% + (Ni%*0.38).

The material differences in the total resources estimated between the 2022 Technical Report and the previous technical report on the West Bear property titled "2019 Technical Report on the West Bear Project, Saskatchewan" dated and filed on SEDAR on April 30, 2020 ("2020 Technical Report") is primarily the result of a significant change to the cut-off grade used by the authors to estimate mineral resources in the 2022 Technical Report. The determination of the CoEq cut-off grade was increased to 0.14% in the 2022 Technical Report. In addition to increasing the cut-off grade, the 2022 Technical Report uses a different equation for estimating cobalt equivalent grades due to the slight decrease in cobalt prices and a significant increase in nickel prices between 2020 and 2022.

The cut-off grade used in the 2022 Technical Report was determined using a conceptual pit model. The 2020 Technical Report utilized the same cut-off grade used in the 2018 technical report titled "Technical Report for the West Bear Cobalt-Nickel Project, Saskatchewan Canada", prepared by Sebastien Bernie, P.Geo. and Chantal Jolette, P.Geo, with an effective date of July 6, 2018, filed August 7, 2018 ("2018 Technical Report"). The 2020 Technical Report was prepared by Qualified Persons ("QPs") who were not independent. As the 2020 Technical Report reported a greater than 100% change in the mineral resource estimate as compared to the 2018 Report, this required that the 2020 Technical Report be prepared by QPs who were independent. To correct this, the Company filed the 2022 Technical Report which was prepared by independent QPs, which resulted in the change to the mineral resource estimate described below.

The material differences between the 2022 Technical Report and the 2020 Technical Report are summarized in the table below:

Material Differences	August 8, 2022 Technical Report	April 30, 2020 Technical Report
Cut-Off Grade	Used 0.14% Co (eq) where: Co (eq) = Co% + (Ni% x 0.38) Cobalt Price = US$32.84/lb Nickel Price = US$11.64/lb	Used 0.023% Co (eq) where: Co (eq) = Co% + (Ni% x 0.2) Cobalt Price = US$35.00/lb Nickel Price = US$7.00/lb
Total Resources Estimated (100% of mineral resources were classified as Indicated Resources)
Resource Tonnage	295,000 t	1,223,000 t
Cobalt Grade (Co%)	0.58%	0.19%
Contained Cobalt (lbs)	3,763,000 lbs	5,122,000 lbs
Nickel Grade (Ni%)	0.49%	0.21%
Contained Nickel (lbs)	3,164,000 lbs	5,662,000 lbs

Qualified Persons and Data Acquisition

The 2022 Technical Report was prepared by Mr. Hatley, P.Eng. of Hatley Engineering , and Mr. Fred Brown, P.Geo., who are considered to be independent Qualified Persons under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Mr. Hatley and Mr. Brown have each reviewed and approved the technical information in relation to the 2022 Technical Report in this release.

Nick Hodge: Uranium and Gold Outlook for 2025, Plus Battery Passport Profits

In an interview at the New Orleans Investment Conference, Nick Hodge, publisher at Digest Publishing, discussed the growing prevalence of "battery passports" and the investment angle he sees there.

He also shared his thoughts on how to invest in uranium at this point in the cycle, saying that power-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) data centers are boosting demand for the commodity, which was already strong.

"I've been a uranium bull for a long time — our moment is here. You can't have AI without uranium," said Hodge.

Nuclear Fuels Aims to Boost US Domestic Uranium Supply Chain, CEO Greg Huffman says

Issues facing the global uranium supply chain have created a significant opportunity for emerging explorers and producers to leverage the growing demand for nuclear energy and build more secure and stable domestic supply chains.

In an interview with the Investing News Network, Nuclear Fuels (CSE:NF) CEO and President Greg Huffman said his company is strategically positioned to supply growing US uranium demand by advancing its uranium projects in Wyoming.

“We have massive, massive increases in terms of expected demand for uranium,” he said. “What we at Nuclear Fuels are focused on is being able to come up with new sources of domestic US uranium to help supply that increase in demand for nuclear power.”
