Restart Program At The Christensen Ranch ISR Project

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX - Uranium Energy Corp (UEC) plans to accelerate the steps required for a resumption of operations has been completed, enabling a faster restart at the Christensen Ranch in-situ recovery (ISR) Project in Wyoming.

Amir Adnani, President and CEO, said, "With demand increasing for uranium supply from stable geopolitical jurisdictions and U.S. national security objectives, we foresee an increasingly urgent need for domestic uranium supply. The fundamental drivers of supply and demand, including pending legislation to ban Russian uranium imports to the United States, are translating into rising uranium prices that have accelerated UEC's production readiness program. In that regard, we have been working towards restarting production to fulfill the need for domestic uranium and are pleased to provide an update on activities related to resuming operations at the Company's Christensen Ranch ISR uranium operations in Johnson County, Wyoming."

The orebody at Christensen Ranch ISR Project is divided into tracts of injection and recovery wells. These tracts of wells are called "Mine Units" for production management. Each Mine Unit is then subdivided into groups of injection and recovery wells that are operated individually; these groups are called "Modules", also known as "header-houses", where each well is connected to a manifold that connects to pipelines that carry the recovery solutions to the satellite IX plant.

Each Mine Unit typically contains 600 to 800 injection and recovery wells, depending upon the orebody configuration, with each Module having an average of 90 to 100 injection and recovery wells. This configuration allows great flexibility in operations, allowing operation of all Modules in a Mine Unit, or just one Module, as well as individual wells in each Module, and as many Modules in the various Mine Units as desired. All wells are controlled electronically and can be started and stopped in the Module buildings and at the satellite plant operations control room.

UEC has also conducted a series of operational tests in the Mine Units at Christensen Ranch. Two Modules located in Mine Units 8 and 10 have had testing completed to establish operating parameters for each Mine Unit. UEC has operated these Modules by circulating recovered mining solutions to test injection and recovery systems while adding oxygen ("O2") and carbon dioxide ("CO2") to the injection stream at varying rates during the testing.
