Business Context and Reporting Period

Subject: Regulation FD Disclosure regarding significant uranium mineralization results at the Christie Lake Project in the Athabasca Basin, Canada.

Key Financial Metrics

This filing is a current report focused on exploration results and does not contain financial statements, revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, or liquidity data. The filing text does not provide a clear value for any financial metrics.

Material Changes and Exploration Results

The Company announced high-grade uranium mineralization in drill hole CB-183-1 at the Sakura Zone, expanding the known footprint of the zone by approximately 14 meters to the northeast.

• Drill Hole CB-183-1: Intersected 7.90% eU₃O₈ over 14.3 metres.
• High-Grade Subinterval: Included a subinterval grading 26.16% eU₃O₈ over 3.8 metres.
• Drill Hole CB-183-2: Encountered 0.21% eU₃O₈ over 2.2 metres, defining the southern periphery of the Sakura Zone.
• Depth: Mineralization is located at a vertical depth of 400 to 420 metres, approximately 100 metres shallower than the nearby McArthur River deposit.

Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks

Management Commentary

Chris Hamel, Vice President Exploration, Canada, stated that the results demonstrate the potential of the Yalowega Trend to host high-grade mineralization. The trend is described as a northerly extension of the McArthur River fault system, a structure accessible only to UEC, Cameco, and Orano.

Operational Outlook

• 2023 Drilling Plan: UEC plans to drill at least 17,000 metres in 2023 across winter and summer programs.
• Current Progress: 7,500 metres have been drilled in the winter program, which is scheduled to continue through March.
• Summer Program: Planned to commence after snow melt.

Risks and Contingencies

• Grade Verification: Reported grades are Radiometric Equivalent Grades (eU₃O₈) determined by down-hole probes. Core recovery in the high-grade interval was estimated at 60%, and the Company notes that assay results may not be representative of true concentration due to potential saturation of the probe in high-grade zones.
• Pending Assays: Samples have been collected for laboratory assay analysis at the Saskatchewan Research Council, with results expected in the coming weeks to confirm the radiometric grades.
• True Width: True widths of mineralization are anticipated to be 90-95% of core length but cannot be verified at this time.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Verify the upcoming laboratory assay results to confirm the radiometric equivalent grades reported for drill hole CB-183-1.
• Monitor the progress of the 2023 drilling program, specifically the transition from the winter to the summer program.
• Review future filings for updates on the true width calculations and core recovery analysis for the Sakura Zone.
• Assess the joint venture structure, noting UEC holds an 82.775% combined interest in the Christie Lake Project.
