As the largest uranium complex in the U.S., Sweetwater's inclusion reflects its strategic importance in restoring domestic uranium production in support of President Trump's goal of unlocking America's mineral resources聽and rebuilding its nuclear industrial base.

CASPER, WY, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -聽Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC)聽the "Company" or "UEC")聽is pleased to announce that its Sweetwater Uranium Complex has been designated as a聽transparency project聽by the U.S.聽Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (the "Steering Council") as part of the implementation of聽President Trump's March 20, 2025 Executive Order on Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production.

The Executive Order directed federal agencies to fast-track permitting for certain infrastructure and critical mineral projects selected by the Steering Council. As a result, Sweetwater has been selected for fast-tracking and added to the FAST-41 transparency dashboard. The addition of projects like Sweetwater supports America's mineral production goals by creating a more efficient and transparent federal permitting process for projects with the potential to supply minerals critical to the nation.

UEC's primary objective of this permitting initiative is to enable聽In-Situ Recovery ("ISR")聽mining methods, a lower-impact approach to uranium extraction, within the existing mine permit boundary and to expand the mine boundary to include adjacent ISR-amenable deposits located on federally managed lands overseen by the聽Bureau of Land Management (the "BLM"). The BLM, under the Department of the Interior, is the lead agency for federal permitting.

Amir Adnani, UEC President and CEO, stated:

"Sweetwater's selection under FAST-41 reinforces its national importance as a key project to achieve the United States' goals of establishing reliable infrastructure, supporting nuclear fuel independence. Acquired from Rio Tinto in 2024, Sweetwater will be UEC's third hub-and-spoke production platform, following operational advancements underway in Wyoming's Powder River Basin and South Texas. On completing this tack-on permitting initiative, Sweetwater will be the largest dual-feed uranium facility in the United States, licensed to process both conventional ore and ISR resin. This will provide the Company unrivaled flexibility to scale production across the Great Divide Basin, leveraging UEC's leading domestic resource base. We're proud of and grateful for the Steering Council's support under President Trump's Executive Order to fast-track a secure, predictable, and affordable supply of critical minerals."

Trump Administration Presidential Appointee, Emily Domenech, Executive Director of the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council聽added:

"I am excited to welcome the Sweetwater Complex to the FAST-41 transparency dashboard in support of President Trump's goal of unlocking America's mineral resources. The uranium that this project can produce would be game-changing for our nation as we work to reduce our reliance on Russia and China, strengthen our national and economic security, and reestablish a robust domestic supply chain of nuclear fuel."

About the Sweetwater Processing Plant

UEC's Sweetwater Complex, anchored by the Sweetwater Processing Plant which is a 3,000 ton per day conventional uranium mill, fully licensed and permitted by the State of Wyoming. With an existing licensed capacity of 4.1 million pounds of U鈧僌鈧� per year, on completion of this ISR permitting initiative, Sweetwater will be the largest licensed uranium production facility in the United States with dual-feed capability.

Additional key highlights of the Sweetwater Complex:

• U.S. Leading Resource Base:聽Over 175 million pounds of historic uranium resources⁽¹⁾.
• Scalable Platform with Rich Data:聽6.1 million feet of historic drilling; Uranium Energy's basin portfolio now totals ~108,000 acres.
• Previously Permitted Mines:聽Includes the Sweetwater (Red Desert), Big Eagle, and Jackpot (Green Mountain) uranium mines, approved for conventional mining methods.
• Highly Invested Asset Base with Scarcity Value:聽Significant time and cost savings in modifying existing plant versus building a new facility, including shared infrastructure and enhanced operating synergies.
