UEC’s fully permitted, low cost, In-Situ-Recovery (“ISR”) portfolio provides for a distinct advantage to supply U.S. production that is globally competitive. The improved uranium market conditions we’ve witnessed in 2020, with uranium prices reaching a four-year high, bodes well for the future of our ISR project pipeline. This over-subscribed financing improves our balance sheet as we advance our strategic objectives and production capabilities in Texas and Wyoming.”
