Successful Initial Low-Cost Production
UEC delivered initial low-cost production in Wyoming, with approximately 130,000 pounds at a total cost of $36 per pound. This marks a significant achievement in their production ramp-up.
Strong Financial Position
UEC maintained a robust balance sheet with $321 million in cash, inventory, and equities, and no debt. This financial stability supports their strategic initiatives and expansion plans.
Strategic Acquisition
The acquisition of Rio Tinto's Sweetwater complex expands UEC's production capacity and establishes a third U.S. hub-and-spoke platform, enhancing their position as the largest U.S. uranium company by resources and licensed production capacity.
Launch of UR&C
UEC launched a new subsidiary, UR&C, to become the only vertically integrated uranium company in the U.S., expanding into refining and conversion.
Positive Policy Environment
The U.S. government's support for nuclear energy, including initiatives to reduce reliance on Russian uranium supplies, creates favorable conditions for UEC's growth and operations.
