Wright, expressed support for the Strategic Reserve and noted the required buffer size will need to grow over time to support the anticipated “rapid growth” in domestic nuclear energy, including advanced and small modular reactors.

Corpus Christi, TX, December 10, 2025 – Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC, the “Company” or “UEC”) is pleased to announce that it has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2025 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The report, includes the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements, related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis, is available on the Company’s website at www.uraniumenergy.com and at www.sec.gov.

Amir Adnani, President and CEO, stated:

“This quarter represented a step change for UEC. With the launch of United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp, we added a new business line that positions the Company to become the only U.S. supplier with both uranium and UF₆ production capabilities. In parallel, we maintained and expanded low-cost ISR production and continued to advance our growth projects in Wyoming and South Texas, supporting projected higher output for the balance of fiscal 2026. Taken together, these developments strengthen our platform as the leading American nuclear fuel supply chain provider aligned with U.S. policy.

Progress at UR&C is advancing across feasibility, site selection and technical staffing initiatives. Separately, we are engaging with senior levels of state and federal governments as part of our broader development process.

Our balance sheet is now even stronger, with no debt and over $698 million in cash, uranium inventory⁽²⁾⁽³⁾ and equities⁽³⁾ at market prices. This provides the capacity to support both production expansion and the advancement of UR&C. We also continued to build our unhedged uranium inventory ahead of the Section 232 decision in a tightening market with a structural supply deficit, positioning UEC to benefit from expected higher uranium prices.”

Powder River Basin, Wyoming, Hub-and-Spoke ISR Operations

Hub: Irigaray CPP; Spokes: Christensen Ranch and Ludeman

Since the resumption of operations and as of October 31, 2025, accumulated production from Christensen Ranch was approximately 199,000 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U₃O₈ at the Irigaray CPP.

As part of its ongoing production ramp-up, UEC continued to develop new production areas at Christensen Ranch. Mine development advanced with active well installation (piloting, casing and underreaming) in wellfields 11 and 12 and delineation drilling in wellfields 8 and 10-extensions. Additionally, construction continued on six new header houses in wellfields 11, 12, and 10-extension. These new production areas form the base of UEC’s future production plans at Christensen Ranch.

In parallel, process upgrades at the Irigaray CPP continued in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, including a full rebuild of one of two yellowcake thickeners, replacing the rake, gearbox and motor along with the repair or replacement of multiple calciner components. Together with the refurbishment completed at Christensen Ranch earlier in the year, these timely investments are expected to support higher production rates in addition to improved operational efficiency and performance.

UEC’s Ludeman project, located 10 miles northeast of Glenrock, Wyoming, is fully licensed and permitted and will be constructed as a satellite project with wellfields and an IX plant, similar to Christensen Ranch, able to ship uranium loaded resin to the Irigaray CPP for elution, precipitation, drying and packaging. Plans for a 200-hole delineation drilling program in the first planned wellfield at Ludeman were finalized during the quarter, with drilling commencing subsequent to quarter-end in November 2025. The delineation drilling will assist wellfield pattern design. Ludeman’s S-K 1300 compliant estimated resources are 9,713,800 pounds of Measured and Indicated and 1,258,000 pounds Inferred⁽⁴⁾.

Forty-one monitor wells are already installed for the first production area and baseline water quality sampling is planned for these wells in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. Engineering for the satellite plant is in progress using internal technical expertise, with external engineering planned to commence in January 2026. Design and procurement of the IX vessels for the plant is underway.

In the Powder River Basin, the Irigaray CPP has a licensed capacity of 4.0 million pounds per year, surrounded by 17 satellite projects, four of which are fully permitted including Christensen Ranch and Ludeman.

The Company’s workforce in Wyoming has increased to 84 personnel, supporting UEC’s growing operations in the Powder River Basin.

South Texas Hub-and-Spoke ISR Operations
Hub: Hobson CPP; Spoke: Burke Hollow

Construction of the Burke Hollow IX plant and first production area progressed on schedule, with key advances made across wellfield development and processing infrastructure.

All large diameter tanks have been installed at the IX plant and testing of the disposal well was completed with the state regulatory agency in attendance. The utility provider completed the installation of three-phase power into the project site, and all facilities have been energized. Well completion and mechanical integrity testing reports are underway following completion of construction.

The Company’s workforce in South Texas has grown to 86 personnel in preparation for startup of the Burke Hollow Project.

On August 1, 2025, the Sweetwater Uranium Complex was designated as a FAST-41 transparency project by the U.S. Federal Permitting Improvement “Steering Council” as part of the implementation of President Trump’s Executive Order on Immediate Measures to “Increase American Mineral Production”.  Significant progress was made during this quarter for the Sweetwater Plan of Operations which was submitted to the Bureau of Land Management on November 14, 2025. This was the first critical milestone on the FAST-41 dashboard schedule.

Planning for the installation of cased monitor wells and a 200-hole delineation drilling program for the first wellfield at Sweetwater was completed during the quarter. Core will be collected for advanced mineralogical testing, and both coring and monitor-well installation began on December 1, 2025.

Proposals have been received from engineering companies to assess refurbishment requirements for the Sweetwater Plant for both conventional and ISR operations. This work is expected to commence in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Roughrider Project, Saskatchewan

As part of the proposed PFS, UEC started a 34,000 meter conversion core drilling program, including targets across the West Zone, East Zone and Far East Zone, aiming to convert inferred estimated resources into the indicated category at the Roughrider Project.

UEC has engaged Tetra Tech Canada Inc. to provide lead technical services for the preparation of the proposed PFS for the Roughrider Project.

In parallel, UEC continues to advance the Roughrider Project through technical and environmental studies, community engagement and assessing opportunities to further de-risk the project. The parallel processes of updating the environmental baseline work and Indigenous engagement will support a future Environmental Impact Assessment required for uranium production.

UEC Launches United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp

United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary, has been formed to pursue the feasibility of developing a new, state-of-the-art American uranium refining and conversion facility. This initiative aims to position UEC as the only vertically integrated U.S. uranium company with mining and processing operations and planned refining and conversion capabilities.

Under one American banner, UEC’s end-to-end capabilities are expected to provide a secure and geopolitically reliable source of Uranium Hexafluoride, the critical feedstock for enrichment used to produce low-enriched uranium and high-assay low-enriched uranium, fuels essential for powering large, small, and advanced reactors in undersupplied domestic and allied markets.

This initiative builds on UEC’s existing uranium platform, advancing a fully American supply chain aligned with U.S. energy policy and defense needs. The project will move forward contingent on several factors, including completion and assessment of additional engineering and economic studies, securing strategic government commitments, utility contracts and regulatory approvals, and favorable market conditions. To advance the project, UEC has engaged initial discussions with the United States government, state-level energy authorities, utilities, and financial entities.

During the quarter, the Company completed a $234 million public offering to advance UR&C’s proposed U.S. refining and conversion facility, initiated a feasibility study for the project, expanded the size of the project technical team, and progressed federal engagement and multi-state siting activities.
