Uranium Energy Corp Reports Results for Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026
Fiscal Q2 2026 Financial Highlights:
U.S. Uranium Policy Developments:
Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American:Â UEC, the "Company" or "UEC") is pleased to announce that it has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2026.
Amir Adnani, President and CEO, stated:
"This quarter we reached a significant milestone for UEC with completing the construction of Burke Hollow, the newest ISR uranium mine in the U.S. We are very proud of our team, many of whom have been involved in this project since its discovery in 2012.
We expanded our ISR production capacity in Wyoming and South Texas, which are awaiting final regulatory approvals. With the unprecedented growth in the sector, our industry is experiencing regulatory growing pains. This level of activity has not been seen in the U.S. in over fifteen years. A coordinated industry working group has been established to engage constructively with state regulators to support responsible and timely production expansion approvals. UEC is actively involved in advancing these collaborative efforts while maintaining our commitment to operational excellence and environmental stewardship.
In parallel, we ramped up efforts on feasibility, siting and licensing at United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp, positioning UEC to address the national security gap in America's nuclear fuel supply chain. Our objective remains clear: to build the only vertically integrated U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain platform with uranium mining to domestic conversion capability.
During the quarter, we sold uranium at pricing over 25% of the quarterly average, which demonstrates the advantage of our unhedged approach to inventory management in a strengthening uranium market.
With $818 million in liquid assets(1) and no debt at the end of the quarter, UEC maintains one of the strongest balance sheets in the sector. Combined with the largest uranium resource base in the United States, we are uniquely positioned to scale production and respond quickly to evolving U.S. policy initiatives, including potential Section 232 remedies and long-term national security procurement requirements."
Powder River Basin, Wyoming, Hub-and-Spoke ISR Operations Hub: Irigaray CPP; Spokes: Christensen Ranch and Ludeman
As of January 31, 2026, accumulated production from Christensen Ranch was approximately 244,000 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 at the Irigaray CPP resulting in Total Cost per Pound(2) at $37.28, including Cash Cost per Pound(2) of $30.52.
UEC continued to develop new production areas at Christensen Ranch during the quarter. Delineation drilling expanded in wellfield 12 and 8 and 10-extensions. Mine development advanced further with well installation in wellfield 10-extension and 12, as well as installation of the monitor well ring in wellfield 10-extension. Additionally, construction was completed on four new header houses in wellfield 11, with three additional header houses being installed in wellfield 12 and 10-extension.
In parallel with activities at the Christensen Ranch mine, process upgrades at the Irigaray CPP continued in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, including refurbishment of the calciner to increase throughput of dried yellowcake. Updates included components as recommended by the manufacturer to increase operational efficiency. As a result, drying and packaging is now running with 24/7, two shift operations.
At Ludeman, the Company's third new ISR project located 10 miles northeast of Glenrock, Wyoming, delineation drilling was ~80% completed at the end of the fiscal quarter. This work will assist wellfield pattern design currently underway.
South Texas Hub-and-Spoke ISR OperationsHub: Hobson CPP; Spoke: Burke Hollow
A major milestone was achieved with the construction completion of Burke Hollow. Drilling, casing, and underreaming of wells in the initial production area within the first wellfield is complete. The wellfield is comprised of 129 injection and recovery wells that have been tested for mechanical integrity and will provide initial feed to the ion-exchange ("IX") plant.
The buildout of the satellite IX plant, including IX columns, IX resin, and water treatment systems with an overall capacity of 2,500 gallons per minute was completed. IX is a filtration system which removes liquid uranium from groundwater before it is dried and processed into U3O8 at the Hobson CPP. Additionally, all bulk chemicals including oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others have been delivered in preparation for startup of UEC's hub and spoke operations in South Texas.
In December 2025 the Drilling and Completion Report for the waste disposal well was submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") for their review. The waste disposal well will facilitate production operations, as well as restoration at the completion of mining activities.
As the TCEQ completes its review, which is standard procedure for commencing a new ISR operation, UEC has carried out pre-operational inspections of the wellfield, IX plant, and disposal well. With the increased level of industry activity, there is regulatory backlog, which has led to slower than normal review times for submissions. To further improve the efficiency of startup, the Company has continued with training for key operational processes.
Sweetwater, Wyoming, Hub-and-Spoke Development
Our first milestone in the FAST-41 process was completed in the second fiscal quarter with the submission of the Sweetwater Plan of Operations for ISR operations to the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") on November 14, 2025. BLM finalized their completeness review of the submission on March 3, 2026, the second milestone in the FAST-41 process. The next steps are meetings with BLM to determine the level of National Environmental Policy Act review that will be necessary for final approval of the project on federal lands. Â
The installation of 23 cased monitor wells and the coring program for advanced metallurgical testing was completed during the quarter. We commenced a 200-hole delineation drilling program in the first wellfield at Sweetwater on March 2, 2026.Â
Wood Group has been engaged to conduct the assessment of refurbishment requirements for the Sweetwater Plant for both conventional and ISR operations. Wood commenced this work on March 2, 2026.
Roughrider Project, Saskatchewan
As part of the Pre-Feasibility Study, 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. Of the planned drilling more than 30% has been completed.
UEC has engaged Tetra Tech Canada Inc. to provide lead technical services for the preparation of the PFS for the Roughrider Project. Key trade-off studies, including the proposed mine access have been completed and are in alignment with the Initial Assessment study completed in November 2024. Concurrently, UEC is working with SaskPower towards a Definition Phase Agreement for a high-voltage power connection to the Roughrider Project.
The Company continues to advance Roughrider through technical and environmental studies, community engagement and assessing opportunities to further de-risk the project. The processes of updating the environmental baseline work and Indigenous engagement should support a future Environmental Impact Assessment required for uranium production.Â
United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp
During the quarter, UR&C, a wholly owned subsidiary of UEC, progressed a feasibility study with its contractor, Fluor for a state-of-the-art American uranium refining and conversion facility.Â
In support of the feasibility study, a detailed siting study was initiated for the planned facility, and the review of various sites across the U.S. is underway. All sites are undergoing a rigorous evaluation with respect to site and civil characteristics, environment and permitting requirements, logistics, utility infrastructure, and the available workforce.
Several key technical personnel were added to the UR&C team, as well as Fluor's engineering team. Additionally, Fluor began preparing for licensing of the facility with the placement of key licensing and permitting personnel.
