MONTHLY ATHABASCA BASIN EXPLORATION UPDATE

SEPTEMBER 2022

Uranium Energy Corp Completes Acquisition of UEX Corporation to Create the Largest Diversified North American Focused Uranium Company

Source: UEC

Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC, the "Company" or "UEC") and UEX Corporation (TSX:UEX, "UEX") announced the closing of the previously announced plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act, pursuant to which UEC acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of UEX that it did not already own. The Arrangement was approved at a special meeting of UEX securityholders held on August 15, 2022 and was subsequently approved by the Supreme Court of British Columbia on August 18, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, UEX shareholders received 0.090 common shares of UEC for each UEX common share held.

UEC intends to submit applications to the Toronto Stock Exchange and to the applicable securities regulators to delist UEX's existing common shares and for UEX to cease to be a reporting issuer, respectively.

Amir Adnani, President and CEO stated: "We are pleased to have completed our acquisition of UEX. This marks UEC's second successful highly accretive M&A transaction in the last year, creating the largest diversified North American focused uranium company. We welcome UEX shareholders to UEC and appreciate the vote of confidence in supporting our transaction. The competing interest for UEX from other industry participants further validates the significant upside and strategic rationale we identified in UEX's portfolio of high-grade projects in the world- class Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan. We look forward to working with our new stakeholders and the joint venture partners, including Cameco, Orano and Denison."

Mr. Adnani continued: "The Company's acquisitions of Uranium One Americas ("U1A") and UEX have created substantial shareholder value, with meaningful expansion of our production capabilities and resource pipeline. The U1A transaction doubled UEC's processing capacity, In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") resources and permitted projects in the United States, while the UEX transaction doubles the size of our measured and indicated uranium resources[1]. With no debt and over $180 million of cash and liquid assets, including physical uranium, UEC has an unparalleled industry position to capitalize on nuclear power's growing role as a climate change solution, contributing towards the mega trends of decarbonization, electrification and energy transition."

Mr. Adnani concluded: "There is an emerging trend by Western utilities to secure supplies from uranium projects in politically stable and proven jurisdictions, this is a strong fit with UEC's per- mitted, and production-ready U.S. ISR projects and extensive growth pipeline in Canada. UEC's sector leading strategy as the fastest growing, pure play, 100% unhedged uranium company with assets only in the Western Hemisphere is a key differentiator in this emerging uranium bull market."

Additional Information

Full details of the Arrangement are set out in the arrangement agreement and subsequent amendments thereto, copies of which are filed by UEC and UEX under their respective profiles on SEDAR at www.sedar.comand under UEC's profile on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. In addition, further information regarding the Arrangement is contained in a management information circular dated July 8, 2022 prepared in connection with the meeting of UEX securityholders, a copy of which is filed on UEX's profile on www.sedar.com.●

Purepoint Uranium provided an update on the broad array of geophysical programs underway this summer. The company commenced a helicopter -borne versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEM) survey across four of its projects, collectively referred to as the Tabbernor Block, all of which lie on the eastern edge of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan Canada.

"Our summer programs have focused on the advancement of seven projects within our portfolio." said Chris Frostad, Purepoint's President and CEO. "In combination with existing exploration data, these surveys will advance our entire pipeline of highly prospective projects to a drill ready state."

Highlights

  • Purepoint is currently conducting a 3,777 line-kilometre, VTEM survey across its four projects known as the Tabbernor Block;
  • The Tabbernor Fault System runs north-south for approximately 1500 km and is associated with gold and uranium discoveries that includes North America's largest gold mine;
  • The 100% owned Tabbernor Block is made up of four individual projects covering over 66,000 hectares that lie just outside the Athabasca Basin and are due south of some of the Basin's largest uranium deposits;
  • A video tour of the Tabbernor Block can be viewed athttps://youtu.be/ooEmygchez4;
  • Earlier this summer, the company completed 1,364 line-kilometres of airborne Gravity Gradiometer, Gravity and Magnetic Surveys across its Russell South and Carson Lake projects;
  • In addition, Purepoint recently completed a 653 line-kilometre deep sensing Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) airborne survey over the northern portion of the Carter Corridor at the Hook Lake Joint Venture;
  • Final interpretations and product for Russell South, Carson Lake and Hook Lake are expected shortly.

Tabbernor Fault System

The Tabbernor Fault System (TFS) is a wide, >1500 km geophysical, topographic and geological structural zone that trends approximately northward along Saskatchewan's eastern boundary. Purepoint's research has shown that although none of the province's currently known uranium deposits have been directly linked to the north-south trending TFS, localized shear zones hosting uranium mineralization may have an associated north-south structural component.

Reactivation of the TFS may have coincided with the age of formation of large uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin (Davies, 1998). Davies also concluded that structural similarities between the TFS and mineralized areas suggest that the fault system may have had a control on the location of mineralization. More specifically, he considered that several deposits, such as the Sue, Midwest, Dawn Lake and Rabbit Lake all demonstrate a north-south control and strong Tabbernor-like characteristics.

Purepoint has now staked claims to the south of the Athabasca Basin based on interpreted north-south lineaments linking the Key Lake and Millennium deposits, the Midwest and West Bear deposits, the Jeb and Raven deposits, and the Collins Bay and Eagle Point deposits.

Russell South Project

The 100% owned Russell Lake Project is located near the south-central edge of the Athabasca Basin covering an area of 13,320 hectares. The project adjoins the Moore Lake Project, owned by Skyharbour Resources Ltd., with their high-grade Maverick Zone that returned 6.0% U3O8 over

5.9 metres from hole ML-199 (Skyharbour PR, Feb. 27, 2017). Also located near the southern edge of the Athabasca Basin is the Key Lake Mine, 22 km WSW, that produced over 200 million pounds of uranium at a grade averaging 2.3% U3O8 between 1983 and 1997.

Carson Lake Project

The 100% owned Carson Lake Project is located near the north-eastern edge of the Athabasca Basin and covers an area of 4,972 hectares. Exploration is focused on basement-hosted uranium mineralization targets similar to the Eagle Point deposit situated 50 kilometers south-southwest of Carson Lake.

Hook Lake JV Project

The Hook Lake JV Project is owned jointly by Cameco Corp. (39.5%), Orano Canada Inc. (39.5%) and Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (21%) as operator and consists of nine claims totaling 28,598 hectares situated in the southwestern Athabasca Basin. The Hook Lake JV Project is considered one of the highest quality uranium exploration projects in the Athabasca Basin due to its location along the prospective Patterson Lake trend and the relatively shallow depth to the unconformity.

Current exploration is targeting the Carter Corridor and the Patterson Lake Corridor that hosts Fission's Triple R Deposit (indicated mineral resource of 87,760,000 lbs U3O8 based on 2,186,000 tonnes at an average grade of 1.82% U3O8 - www.fissionuranium.com), NexGen Energy's Arrow Deposit (indicated mineral resource of 256,600,000 lbs U3O8 based on 2,890,000 tonnes at an average grade of 4.03% - www.nexgenenergy.ca) and the Spitfire discovery by the Hook Lake JV. The foregoing mineral resource disclosure is information about the properties adjacent to the Company's property and does not imply that the Company will obtain similar results from its own property.

Denison announced the substantial completion of extensive metallurgical test work to define the mechanical components for the planned Phoenix processing plant, as part of the Feasibility Study underway for the Company's 95% owned Wheeler River project. In addition, the metallurgical program has confirmed the ability to produce a yellowcake product that meets industry standard ASTM C967-13 specifica- tions.

The results of the metallurgical test work are highlighted by the following:

  • The UBS from the high-grade Phoenix deposit was processed using simple chemical precipitation stages to remove certain elements prior to the yellowcake precipitation circuit.
  • A yellowcake product that meets uranium industry standard ASTM C967-13 specifications (see below for details) has been precipitated in the lab.
  • A high-quality effluent was obtained using typical industrial water treatment processes through pH control and precipitation.

Additionally, the metallurgical test program has provided several important inputs for the FS processes underway in relation to the planned Phoenix Plant and ISR operation, including confirmation of the following:

  • The appropriateness of mechanical components for the Phoenix Plant similar to those outlined in the Pre-Feasibility Study.
  • The suitability for the Phoenix Plant to process UBS head grades averaging 15 g/L uranium.
  • Metallurgical recovery rates of over 95% from processing of UBS to yellowcake.
  • The ability to achieve industry standards for yellowcake through drying at 110°C, indicating calcination is not required for the planned Phoenix Plant.
  • The ability to produce a yellowcake product that meets industry standards without the use of ammonia and the specialized and addi- tional processes typically associated therewith.
  • The ability to meet final plant effluent quality discharge criteria for protection of the environment, which is expected to be outlined in the draft Environmental Impact Statement planned to be submitted as part of the Environmental Assessment for the Project.

Additionally, extensive test work has been completed in defining any potential elements of concern, required process components, reagents, and general operating parameters necessary to mitigate processing risks and ensure the production of a yellowcake product that meets industry standards. This has allowed for the significant progression of the plant and process designs for the FS.
