– UEX Corporation


(“UEX” or the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Uranium Energy Corporation (NYSE:UEC),


provides additional information relating to the technical
report titled “Independent Technical Report on the West Bear
Project, Saskatchewan” dated July 25, 2022 for the Company’s 100%
owned West Bear property filed on SEDAR and announced by news release
on August 8, 2022 (“2022 Technical Report”). The 2022 Technical
Report includes a new mineral resource estimate for the West Bear
property.

The mineral resource estimate disclosed in
the 2022 Technical Report totalled 295,000 tonnes containing 3.763
million pounds cobalt (Co) at an average grade of 0.58% Co, and 3.164
million pounds nickel (Ni) at an average grade 0.49% Ni as an
indicated mineral resource using a cut-off grade of 0.14% cobalt
equivalent (CoEq.), as set out in Table 1 below.

Table 1 – West Bear
Deposit Mineral Resource Estimates

*Mineral resources are not mineral
reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability. There is no
certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource will be
converted into mineral reserve. All figures are rounded to reflect the
relative accuracy of the estimates. Resources were estimated using a
cut-off grade of 0.14% CoEq and consider metal prices of US$32.84 per
pound cobalt and US$ 11.64 per pound nickel. Cobalt equivalent
(“CoEq”) grades have been calculated using the following factor
CoEq% = Co% + (Ni%*0.38).

The material differences in the total
resources estimated between the 2022 Technical Report and the previous
technical report on the West Bear property titled “2019 Technical
Report on the West Bear Project, Saskatchewan” dated and filed on
SEDAR on April 30, 2020 (“2020 Technical Report”) is primarily the
result of a significant change to the cut-off grade used by the
authors to estimate mineral resources in the 2022 Technical Report.
 The determination of the CoEq cut-off grade was increased to 0.14%
in the 2022 Technical Report.  In addition to increasing the cut-off
grade, the 2022 Technical Report uses a different equation for
estimating cobalt equivalent grades due to the slight decrease in
cobalt prices and a significant increase in nickel prices between 2020
and 2022.

The cut-off grade used in the 2022
Technical Report was determined using a conceptual pit model.  The
2020 Technical Report utilized the same cut-off grade used in the 2018
technical report titled “Technical Report for the West Bear
Cobalt-Nickel Project, Saskatchewan Canada”, prepared by
Sebastien Bernie, P.Geo. and Chantal Jolette, P.Geo, with an effective
date of July 6, 2018, filed August 7, 2018 (“2018 Technical
Report”).  The 2020 Technical Report was prepared by Qualified
Persons (“QPs”) who were not independent. As the 2020 Technical
Report reported a greater than 100% change in the mineral resource
estimate as compared to the 2018 Report, this required that the 2020
Technical Report be prepared by QPs who were independent.


To correct this, the Company filed the
2022 Technical Report which was prepared by independent QPs, which
resulted in the change to the mineral resource estimate described
below.

The material differences between the 2022
Technical Report and the 2020 Technical Report are summarized in the
table below:
