Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Uranium Energy Corp reported operational and financial highlights for its fiscal third quarter ended April 30, 2026 and confirmed filing of its Form 10-Q. The company emphasized a strong balance sheet with $794 million of liquid assets and no debt, supporting its unhedged uranium strategy.

UEC commenced production at the Burke Hollow in-situ recovery project in South Texas and is now operating two of its three U.S. hub-and-spoke ISR production platforms. At Christensen Ranch in Wyoming, the company produced 32,195 pounds of uranium in the quarter at a Total Cost per Pound of $54.61, including a Cash Cost per Pound of $46.69, with higher unit costs driven by timing of new header house approvals and increased state taxes.

Development advanced at multiple projects, including delineation drilling and engineering at Ludeman and Sweetwater, a large conversion-core drilling program and pre-feasibility work at the Roughrider Project in Saskatchewan, and further evaluation of the Alto Paraná titanium and vanadium project in Paraguay, where prior assessments outlined NPV-based development scenarios. The company also highlighted progress by its UR&C subsidiary toward a U.S. uranium conversion facility, including receipt of a Nuclear Regulatory Commission docket number.

Insights

UEC is moving from project buildup into multi-asset production while maintaining high liquidity and no debt.

Uranium Energy Corp is transitioning key ISR projects into production, notably Burke Hollow in South Texas and new header houses at Christensen Ranch in Wyoming. These moves start translating its large resource base into operating output, supported by a hub-and-spoke processing model.

The cost table shows Christensen Ranch produced 32,195 pounds in the quarter at a Total Cost per Pound of $54.61, up from $44.14 in the prior quarter, mainly due to lower volumes and higher Wyoming production-based taxes. Management notes that more fully utilized header houses are expected to reduce unit costs, but actual outcomes will depend on sustaining production levels.

With $794 million of liquid assets and no debt, UEC can continue advancing projects like Ludeman, Sweetwater, Roughrider and the Alto Paraná titanium-vanadium asset, as well as the UR&C conversion initiative. Subsequent disclosures, including future 10-Q and 10-K filings for periods after April 30, 2026, will be important to understand how quickly volumes grow and whether per‑pound costs trend down as indicated.

in-situ recovery (ISR) technical
"America’s largest greenfield ISR uranium project and multiple ISR production platforms"
In-situ recovery (ISR) is a mining method where a liquid solution is pumped into an underground ore zone to dissolve targeted minerals, which are then pumped back to the surface for processing—think of extracting flavor by running water through a coffee filter left inside the ground. It matters to investors because ISR often lowers upfront costs, speeds up production and reduces surface disruption compared with traditional mining, but it also concentrates environmental and regulatory risks around groundwater management and permitting.
Total Cost per Pound financial
"Total Cost per Pound of $54.61, including a Cash Cost per Pound of $46.69"
FAST-41 regulatory
"another permitting milestone was achieved in the FAST-41 federal permitting process"
A FAST-41 designation comes from a U.S. law that sets up a coordinated, time-lined review process for large federal infrastructure projects, aiming to reduce delays by having agencies work together and meet clear deadlines. For investors, it matters because projects with FAST-41 oversight are likelier to reach permits and construction on schedule, reducing the risk of costly hold-ups much like a traffic controller clearing lanes so a convoy can move without unexpected stops.
NPV8 financial
"The first scenario yielded a net present value discounted at 8% (“NPV8”) of $419 million"
Net present value at an 8% discount rate (NPV8) is the estimated value today of a project's or investment’s future cash flows after reducing them by 8% per year to reflect time and risk. Investors use NPV8 like a common ruler — it translates future profits into today’s dollars so you can compare projects or price a business; a positive NPV8 suggests the expected returns exceed that 8% benchmark, while a negative one implies they don’t.
internal rate of return (IRR) financial
"a 21% post-tax internal rate of return (“IRR”) and a 25% post-tax IRR"
The internal rate of return (IRR) is the annualized percentage return that makes the total value of a project's or investment's future cash flows equal the amount invested today — in other words, the break-even interest rate for that investment. Investors use IRR like a single-number speedometer to compare opportunities: a higher IRR means a project is expected to generate a stronger annual return, helping decide which investments are likely more attractive relative to required returns or alternatives.
National Environmental Policy Act regulatory
"Comments will be evaluated during the National Environmental Policy Act process"
A U.S. law that requires federal agencies to evaluate and disclose the likely environmental effects of major projects and decisions before they proceed. For investors, that review can delay approvals, add compliance costs, or change project plans—like a required safety inspection that can uncover problems or require fixes before construction continues—so NEPA processes are a key source of timing, cost and legal risk for projects involving federal permits or funding.

Uranium Energy Corp Reports Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2026

 

 

Commenced Production at Burke Hollow, Americas Largest Greenfield ISR Uranium Project

 

UEC is Now Operating Two of its Three U.S. Hub-and-Spoke ISR Production Platforms, Anchored by the Largest Uranium Resource Base in the U.S.

 

$794 Million of Liquid Assets(1) and No Debt

 

Building Americas Only Vertically Integrated Uranium Fuel Supply Chain from Mining through Refining and Conversion

 

 

Fiscal Q3 2026 Operational Highlights:

 

 

Operations Commenced at Burke Hollow ISR Project: America’s largest greenfield in-situ recovery (“ISR”) project to come into production in over a decade started operations in South Texas.

 

Maintaining Low-Cost Production Profile: During the quarter, 32,195 pounds of uranium concentrate were produced at a Total Cost per Pound(2) of $54.61, including a Cash Cost per Pound(2) of $46.69. Total Cost per Pound rose in the third quarter primarily due to lower production resulting from timing of regulatory approvals for new header houses that started operating later in the quarter and an increase in State taxes. Since commissioning, UEC’s Total Cost per Pound remains a leader in the domestic industry at $39.30, including a Cash Cost per Pound of $32.40, across 276,516 pounds.

 

Received Regulatory Approval for Expanded Production at Christensen Ranch: Three new header houses in Wellfield 11 began production towards the end of the quarter. Five additional header houses are under construction and one additional header house is complete, awaiting regulatory approval.

 

Continued Production Ramp Up: Production rates are expected to increase in the fourth fiscal quarter with new header houses at Christensen Ranch and Burke Hollow operational for the full quarter.

 

Advancing Towards Construction at the Ludeman Project: The 240-hole delineation drilling program was completed. Ludeman is planned to be the Company’s third operating ISR uranium mine and designed to feed the Irigaray Central Processing Plant (“CPP”).

 

Sweetwater Delineation Drill Program Completed: A 200-hole delineation drilling program in the first two planned wellfields at Sweetwater was completed.

 

Roughrider Pre-Feasibility Progressing: Core drilling is over 80% complete to support a planned pre-feasibility study (“PFS”) for the world class Roughrider Project located in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada.

 

United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp ("UR&C"): Achieved its first U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") licensing milestone with receipt of a Docket Number for its planned uranium conversion facility. Ongoing discussions with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) regarding strategic nuclear fuel cycle infrastructure has led UR&C to broaden its site selection process. Additional candidate locations were added to ensure alignment with federal priorities to restore domestic uranium conversion capacity and strengthen America's nuclear fuel supply chain. This work has culminated in the identification of a final shortlist of candidate locations. Concurrently, work led by Fluor Corporation (“Fluor”) is advancing into a new phase with the significant expansion of engineering and technical resources supporting facility design, siting, licensing and development.


 

 

Critical Minerals Portfolio Update: A recently completed independent report concluded that UEC’s Alto Paraná Titanium and Vanadium Project in Paraguay represents a globally significant critical minerals platform. The study determined the project has potential to materially contribute to the security and diversification of U.S. supply chains for titanium and vanadium. The report also reinforces the value of UEC’s disciplined approach to identifying, acquiring and developing assets aligned with national security, advanced manufacturing and resilient critical minerals supply chains. The report was conducted by TZ Minerals International PTY LTD (“TZMI”), a global leader in titanium and critical minerals market intelligence, which evaluated the project and its positioning within the U.S. critical materials framework.

 

Fiscal Q3 2026 Financial Highlights:

 

 

Robust Balance Sheet: $794 million in liquid assets(1), including cash of $488 million, with no debt.

 

Strategic Inventory Position in a Tightening Market: 1,456,000 pounds of U₃O₈ at April 30, 2026, valued at $127 million at market prices(1), excluding 276,516 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 at the Irigaray CPP. The Company maintained its uranium inventory during the quarter, preserving pricing optionality and full exposure to uranium prices through its 100% unhedged strategy.

 

U.S. Uranium Policy Developments:

 

 

Department of Energy Initiative  Nuclear Dominance 3 by 33 Campaign: On April 23, 2026, the DOE, through its Office of Nuclear Energy and the Defense Production Act ("DPA") Nuclear Fuel Cycle Consortium, launched the “Nuclear Dominance — 3 by 33” campaign to secure the United States’ nuclear fuel supply chain and support future reactor deployment. 

 

The campaign is structured around three core objectives to be achieved by 2033: (1) catalyzing a secure and cost-competitive domestic nuclear fuel supply chain across all stages, including mining and milling, conversion, enrichment and recycling; (2) accelerating advanced reactor deployment while progressing toward a closed fuel cycle; and (3) leveraging the DPA framework to align workforce development, financing, innovation and industry collaboration in support of a nuclear buildout. This initiative represents a coordinated federal-industry effort to address critical gaps across the nuclear fuel cycle and reduce reliance on foreign sources, while enabling the long-term expansion of U.S. nuclear energy capacity. 

 

Corpus Christi, TX, June 9, 2026 – Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC) (the “Company” or “UEC”) is pleased to announce that it has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2026.

 

Amir Adnani, President and CEO, stated:

 

“During the quarter, we achieved a series of defining milestones that reflect both the strength of our execution along with the depth and scale of our asset base. We commenced production at Burke Hollow, Americas largest greenfield ISR project to enter production in more than a decade. This marked a major step forward for UEC in expanding domestic uranium supply.

 

At Christensen Ranch, we began production from new header houses while continuing to build additional capacity, reinforcing our phased approach to disciplined growth. At the same time, we continued to advance Ludeman, our next planned ISR uranium operation, completing delineation drilling and engineering work.

 

Financially, we remain exceptionally well positioned with a strong balance sheet, significant liquidity, no debt and a growing inventory base that supports our ability to execute our business strategy. This balance sheet, combined with our unique unhedged strategy, provides the flexibility to be selective in the execution of sales, as demonstrated in this third quarter where we preserved our inventory.

 

Importantly, these achievements come amid a broader national shift, highlighted by the DOEs Nuclear Dominance - 3 by 33 initiative, which underscores the urgency of rebuilding a secure, domestic fuel supply chain. We are proud to be contributing to this mission by advancing the largest U.S. uranium resource base and addressing the acute bottleneck in conversion through UR&C. These efforts are building the foundation for a strong, domestic nuclear fuel cycle in America.

 


 

Powder River Basin, Wyoming, Hub-and-Spoke ISR Operations

Hub: Irigaray CPP; Spokes: Christensen Ranch and Ludeman

 

As of April 30, 2026, total cumulative production from Christensen Ranch was approximately 277,000 pounds of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 at the Irigaray CPP at a Total Cost per Pound of $39.30, including a Cash Cost per Pound of $32.40.

 

In the third fiscal quarter, 32,195 pounds of uranium were produced at Christensen Ranch at a Total Cost per Pound of $54.61, including a Cash Cost per Pound of $46.69. Total Cost per Pound increased from $44.14 in the prior quarter as a result of lower production due to timing of regulatory approvals for new header houses that started operating later in the quarter and an increase in State taxes. The latter stems from an increase in the industry factor used by the Wyoming Department of Revenue to value extracted uranium for severance and ad valorem tax purposes. Production‑Based Royalties, Ad Valorem and Severance Tax per Pound(2) increased from $6.67 in the second quarter to $8.11 in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 as a result of the increase in State taxes.

 

On March 23, 2026, the Company announced that it had secured State regulatory approval and commenced operating three additional header houses in Wellfield 11 at Christensen Ranch. Preconditioning of Wellfield 11 started thereafter, followed by carbon dioxide and oxygen injection to initiate the uranium recovery process. At the end of April, a small amount of uranium extracted from Wellfield 11 had reached the precipitation stage. As a result, preconditioning, leaching and precipitation costs were capitalized as production costs for the quarter, while the associated production volume from Wellfield 11 has yet to be fully reflected. This timing difference also contributed to the increase in Total Cost per Pound reported for the quarter.

 

With new header houses online for the full quarter, production is expected to increase in the fourth fiscal quarter, which is expected to lower Total Cost per Pound at Christensen Ranch.

 

The Company continued to develop new production areas at Christensen Ranch during the quarter. One header house in Wellfield 11 is complete and is awaiting regulatory approval. Five more header houses are under construction in Wellfields 12 and 10-extension. Additionally, baseline water quality sampling was completed in Wellfield 10-extension.

 

At Ludeman, UEC’s third ISR project, the previously announced 240-hole delineation drill program was completed. This work will assist wellfield pattern design currently underway. Additionally, core samples were collected for subsequent laboratory testing.

 

Engineering work for the satellite ion-exchange plant progressed with the plant layout and pad design largely finalized and with fabrication of the ion-exchange vessels ahead of schedule. The engineering team continues to advance the remainder of the mechanical equipment specifications, which allows the Company to begin the procurement process for longer lead time equipment. Uranium captured on ion-exchange resin at the Ludeman satellite plant will be transported to the Company’s Irigaray CPP, UEC’s hub in the Powder River Basin, for stripping, precipitation, drying and packaging.

 

South Texas Hub-and-Spoke ISR Operations

Hub: Hobson CPP; Spoke: Burke Hollow

 

On April 8, 2026, the Company announced that it had received approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and commenced production at the Burke Hollow project in South Texas. In order to initiate the uranium recovery process, oxygen and carbon dioxide were injected into the wellfield and will provide initial feed to the ion-exchange plant. Burke Hollow is anticipated to contribute to production in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2026.

 

Burke Hollow’s satellite ion-exchange plant, including columns, resin and water treatment systems with an overall capacity of 2,500 gallons per minute was commissioned in the fiscal third quarter.

 


 

Wellfield development continued in phase 1A. An additional 46 wells were completed and tested for mechanical integrity facilitating installation of pumps and related piping and infrastructure. The main trunkline, piping and valves have been installed and tested, as well as piping for oxygen delivery to the field.

 

Sweetwater, Wyoming, Hub-and-Spoke Development

 

At Sweetwater, another permitting milestone was achieved in the FAST-41 federal permitting process with the finalization of the Bureau of Land Management’s ("BLM") completeness review of UEC’s Plan of Operations for ISR operations. BLM’s 30-day public comment period for the Plan of Operations began on March 16, 2026 and ended April 17, 2026. Comments will be evaluated during the National Environmental Policy Act process, which began in June 2026.

 

A 200-hole delineation drilling program in the first two planned wellfields at Sweetwater commenced in March and was completed in early May for the Sweetwater North area where wellfield pattern planning has commenced. A second 200-hole delineation drilling program is scheduled to begin in July 2026 where the third ISR wellfield at Sweetwater is planned.

 

The Company has commenced the assessment of refurbishment requirements for the Sweetwater Mill for both conventional and ISR operations. Ion-exchange vessels for the Sweetwater ISR circuit are under construction.

 

Roughrider Project, Saskatchewan

 

As part of the planned pre-feasibility study at the Roughrider Project, the Company has substantially completed a 35,000-meter conversion core drilling program. This included resource 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. 80% of the planned drilling has been completed to date.

 

UEC has engaged Tetra Tech Canada Inc. to provide lead technical services for the preparation of the PFS. Process flow diagrams, mass and water balance drawing and process equipment lists have been completed. Concurrently, UEC has provided an electrical load list and a transmission interconnection service request to SaskPower for a Definition Phase Agreement connecting high-voltage power 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 supports a future Environmental Impact Assessment and licensing required for uranium production.

 

United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp (UR&C)

 

During the quarter, UEC announced that UR&C had received a Docket Number from the U.S. NRC for its planned uranium conversion facility. This step represents a significant milestone for UEC on its path to becoming the only American vertically integrated nuclear fuel supplier, from mining through conversion and supports the resiliency of the U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain.

 

The formal license application is expected to be submitted once engineering and design activities, currently underway with Fluor, are complete and a site has been selected.

 

Following ongoing discussions with the DOE regarding strategic nuclear fuel cycle infrastructure, UR&C broadened its site selection process to evaluate additional candidate locations and ensure alignment with federal priorities for restoring domestic uranium conversion capacity and strengthening America's nuclear fuel supply chain. This work has culminated in the identification of a final shortlist of candidate locations.

 

Concurrently, work led by Fluor is advancing into a new phase in their Greenville, South Carolina offices, with a significant expansion of engineering and technical resources supporting facility design, siting, licensing and development.

 


 

Alto Paraná Titanium and Vanadium Project, Paraguay

 

The Alto Paraná Project hosts a globally significant titanium resource. UEC commissioned TZMI to review the project’s positioning within the U.S. critical materials framework. TZMI reviewed the potential opportunity and the previously disclosed resource estimate and initial assessment (“PEA”) disclosed by the Company in November 2023(4).

 

In its recently completed report, TZMI identified the project’s unique strategic fit, including being located in a U.S. aligned partner country, its access to clean, low-cost power and its ability to integrate into U.S. and allied downstream processing supply chains. It also highlighted that Alto Paraná presents an opportunity to directly address three structural vulnerabilities in U.S. critical minerals policy, being its current near-total reliance on imported titanium sponge feedstock, the high concentration of vanadium unit supply from a limited number of jurisdictions and the limited availability of large-scale, allied supply sources within the Western Hemisphere.

 

The PEA and this new report highlight the unique advantages of this world-class, large-scale ilmenite deposit, including its high grade, surface accessibility and low-cost, low-carbon advantages supported by proximity to hydroelectric power, enabling long-life production.

 

The PEA evaluated two development scenarios based on estimated indicated and inferred mineral resources. The first scenario yielded a net present value discounted at 8% (“NPV8”) of $419 million with a 21% post-tax internal rate of return (“IRR”) utilizing less than 0.2% of the regional resource per year. The second, larger-scale scenario set out a NPV8 of $1.55 billion with a 25% post-tax IRR utilizing less than 0.7% of the regional resource per year(3).

 

The project hosts an estimated inferred mineral resource of 3.58 billion tonnes at an average grade of approximately 7.3% TiO₂ and an estimated indicated mineral resource of 70 million tonnes at an average grade of approximately 7.6% TiO2 (4).

 

For further information regarding the project, including the PEA and resource estimate, please refer to the technical report summary titled “Technical Report Summary – Initial Assessment: Alto Paraná titanium project” dated November 2023, included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 13, 2023 and available under its profile at www.sec.gov.

This news release includes reference to "Total Cost per Pound", “Cash Cost per Pound”, “Non-Cash per Pound” and "Production‑Based Royalties, Ad Valorem and Severance Tax per Pound", which do not have standardized meanings under GAAP. We define: (i) Total Cost per Pound as the addition to in-process inventory and uranium concentrates from extraction (each a component of inventories on the consolidated balance sheets) for the applicable period divided by the quantity (in pounds) of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 produced in such period; (ii) Cash Cost per Pound as the addition to in-process inventory and uranium concentrates from extraction (each a component of inventories on the consolidated balance sheets), excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization, for the applicable period divided by the quantity (in pounds) of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 in such period; (iii) Non-Cash Cost per Pound as the difference between Total Cost per Pound and Cash Cost per Pound; and (iv) Production‑Based Royalties, Ad Valorem and Severance Tax per Pound (a component of Cash Cost per Pound) as the production‑based royalties, ad valorem and severance tax accrued for the applicable period divided by the quantity (in pounds) of precipitated uranium and dried and drummed U3O8 produced in such period. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors and other stakeholders also use this information to evaluate our operating and financial performance. The use of these performance measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our definition of these measures may differ from other mining companies and therefore may not be comparable. These non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the applicable periods.
