Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC, the “Company” or “UEC”) – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/uranium-energy-corp/  – is pleased to report that it has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Annual Report filing, which includes the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis for its fiscal year 2024, is available for viewing on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website at www.uraniumenergy.com.

Amir Adnani, CEO and President, stated: “Fiscal 2024 proved to be a year of successful transformative growth for UEC with the restart of production at our Christensen Ranch ISR operations in Wyoming. At the same time, we continued to advance our Roughrider and Burke Hollow projects with resource expansions and development programs respectively.”

Mr. Adnani continued: “We are also thrilled with the recent acquisition from Rio Tinto of the fully-licensed Sweetwater Plant and a portfolio of uranium properties, which adds approximately 175 million pounds of historical uranium resources⁽⁴⁾. These assets will unlock tremendous value, by establishing our third hub-and-spoke production platform, and cements UEC as the leading uranium developer in Wyoming and the U.S.”

Mr. Adnani concluded, “Global demand for nuclear energy and uranium is surging, highlighted by the proposed Three Mile Island Unit 1 restart to support Microsoft’s AI data center expansion. The U.S. and European Union Russian uranium bans and Russia’s recent signaling of future export restrictions, emphasize the need for reliable domestic supply chains to meet Western nuclear fuel supply requirements. As the demand side pressure increases, UEC remains 100% unhedged. Our balance sheet is debt free with approximately $331.5 million in cash, equity holdings and inventory at market prices on July 31, 2024, providing the financial strength to rapidly expand and develop our U.S. ISR production platforms and Canadian assets, including the Roughrider Project.”
