Item 7.01         Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On September 2, 2025, Uranium Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “UEC”) issued a news release to announce the launch of United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp. ("UR&C"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to pursue the feasibility of developing a new state-of-the-art American uranium refining and conversion facility.

 

Amir Adnani, UEC President and CEO, stated:

 

"Positioning UEC as the only vertically integrated U.S. company with uranium mining, processing, refining and conversion capabilities is both a significant commercial opportunity and a strategic necessity for the United States. Under one American banner, UEC’s end-to-end capabilities would provide a secure, geopolitically reliable source of Uranium Hexafluoride ("UF₆"), the critical feedstock for enrichment that enables the production of low-enriched uranium ("LEU") and high-assay low-enriched uranium ("HALEU"), fuels essential to powering large, small, and advanced reactors for undersupplied domestic and allied markets.

 

“We are structuring UR&C as a subsidiary to advance this initiative in a fiscally optimal manner, including tactical partnerships and direct investments. This allows UEC to maintain a strong balance sheet and continue to prioritize its core uranium mining and processing business, while separately advancing UR&C to enhance UEC shareholder value.

 

“Our priorities are clear: to build on UEC’s existing uranium platform by advancing a fully American supply chain to support growing domestic enrichment; to ensure alignment with U.S. policy and Defense Production Act (“DPA”) authorities; and to work in close partnership with government and industry. Together, these priorities position UR&C to play a central role in expanding America’s nuclear fuel cycle and strengthening its long-term energy security."

 

Spencer Abraham, UEC Chairman and Former U.S. Secretary of Energy, stated:

 

"For far too long, the U.S. has relied on foreign sources to supply and process the critical materials essential to our national and economic security. We are seeking to address this problem by advancing a vertically integrated supply chain for natural UF₆, providing essential feedstock for commercial enrichment to power the world’s largest nuclear reactor fleet and supplying the unobligated U.S.-origin uranium required to fuel America’s nuclear navy. The proposed facility directly aligns with U.S. policy and would contribute to unlocking American enrichment growth.

 

“With UEC’s proven track record, sector leadership and team depth, UR&C is uniquely positioned to deliver on this national priority. Most importantly, by providing a critical cornerstone for a secure U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain, UEC would be a key part of President Trump’s program to quadruple America’s domestic nuclear energy capacity."

 

Key highlights:

 

 

 

 

 

The proposed facility is the result of work initiated with Fluor Corporation in July 2024 and supported by a recently completed AACE Class 5 conceptual study. The study contemplates a new and modern U.S. conversion facility sized to produce ~10,000 MtU per year as UF₆, including associated infrastructure. Total installed capacity (with contingency) was developed at a conceptual level and forms the basis for advancing more detailed engineering and commercial planning. 

 

The Company has also initiated discussions on potential siting options, evaluating factors such as logistics, workforce availability, public acceptance, local incentives, and synergies with other fuel cycle facilities.

 

The project will move forward contingent on several factors, including completion and assessment of additional engineering and economic studies, securing strategic government commitments, utility contracts, regulatory approvals, and favorable market conditions. UEC has begun initial discussions with the United States government, state-level energy authorities, utilities, and financial entities, and will report further updates as these engagements advance.

 

 

By establishing UR&C, UEC aims to deliver a capability that is both strategically essential and commercially transformative, expanding domestic uranium refining and UF₆ conversion capacity and creating a resilient, American supplier for decades to come. 

 

A copy of the news release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
