1.2

Ownership

This Project is owned and operated by UEC. UEC has executed fee mineral leases with landowners who hold mineral ownership within and outside the various project boundaries. UEC also holds unpatented Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lode claims and leases on Wyoming state land on the various project areas.

1.3

Geology and Mineralization

The Allemand-Ross, Barge, Charlie, Christensen Ranch, Irigaray, Ludeman, Moore Ranch, Nine Mile and Reno Creek project areas reside in the Powder River Basin (PRB). The PRB is a structural basin that extends over much of northeastern Wyoming and southeastern Montana and consists of a large north-northwest trending asymmetric syncline. The basin is bounded by the Big Horn Mountains on the west and Casper Arch to the southwest, the Black Hills to the east and the Hartville Uplift and Laramie Mountains to the south. The PRB is filled with marine, non-marine and continental sediments ranging in age from early Paleozoic through Cenozoic.

The Jab/West Jab and Red Rim project areas are located within the northeastern portion of the Greater Green River Basin (GGRB). The GGRB is a structural basin that extends over southwestern Wyoming and northwestern Colorado and is divided by the Rock Springs Uplift, a north-south trending anticline. The basin is bounded by the Wyoming thrust belt to the west, the Rawlins Uplift and the Sierra Madre Mountains to the east, the Wind River Mountains to the north and the Uinta Mountains to the south. The GGRB contains up to 25,000 ft of Cretaceous to recent sedimentary rocks.

The Clarkson Hill project area is located in the eastern portion of the Wind River Basin (WRB). The WRB is a structural basin in west-central Wyoming. The basin is bounded by the Wind River Range to the west, the Casper Arch to the east, the Owl Creek Mountains to the north and the Granite Mountains to the south. The WRB is filled with marine, lacustrine and fluvial sediments ranging in age from Paleozoic to Cenozoic.

Uranium mineralization at the Project is typical of Wyoming roll-front sandstone deposits. The formation of roll-front deposits is largely a groundwater process that occurs when uranium-rich, oxygenated groundwater interacts with a reducing environment in the subsurface and precipitates uranium. The most favorable host rocks for roll-fronts are permeable sandstones with large aquifer systems. Interbedded mudstone, claystone and siltstone are often present and aid in the formation process by focusing groundwater flow.

1.4

Exploration Status

To date, UEC holds data from approximately 51,780 drill holes and core holes that have been drilled by previous uranium exploration companies on and nearby the 12 project areas held by UEC. Data from the drilling, including survey coordinates, collar elevations, depths and grade of uranium intercepts, have been incorporated into UEC’s database.

1.5

Development and Operations

Summary capital and operating cost estimates are not included with this TRS, because UEC is reporting the results of an IA without economic analysis. No construction has taken place on the Project during UEC’s ownership.

1.6

Mineral Resource Estimates

Cautionary Statement:

This TRS is preliminary in nature and includes mineral resources. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is increased risk and uncertainty to commencing and conducting production without established mineral reserves, which may result in economic and technical failure and may adversely impact future profitability.

The in-place resources were estimated separately for each area in the Project. The Project contains a measured resource of 23.90 million lbs and an indicated resource of 42.30 million lbs of U₃O₈ in-place. The Project contains 15.05 million lbs of inferred mineral resources in-place.

1.7

Permitting Requirements

The Irigaray Central Processing Plant (CPP) is fully permitted. The Christensen Ranch, Ludeman and Moore Ranch project areas are fully permitted for ISR operations through both the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality/Land Quality Division (WDEQ/LQD) and BLM as appropriate. Portions of the Irigaray and Reno Creek project areas are also permitted for ISR operations.

The Allemand-Ross, Barge, Charlie, Clarkson Hill, Jab/West Jab, Nine Mile and Red Rim project areas are not permitted. Portions of the Reno Creek project area and the majority of the Irigaray project area are also not permitted for ISR operations.

1.8

QP Conclusion and Recommendations

Key conclusions and recommendations from WWC, a third-party firm, which employs professionals meeting the definition of “qualified person” (QP) set out in S-K 1300, are as follows:

•

The QP considers the scale and quality of the mineral resources at the Project to indicate favorable conditions for future extraction.

•

UEC should develop a Preliminary Feasibility Study for the Project; obtain required regulatory authorizations required to mine at the Bing, Moore and Pine Tree resource areas and the Allemand-Ross, Barge, Clarkson Hill, Charlie, Jab/West Jab, Nine Mile and Red Rim project areas; and continue to maintain mining claims and mineral leases along with surface use agreements to accommodate future oil and gas drilling and Project development.

1-3

September 2022

•

UEC should advance the baseline studies necessary to obtain regulatory authorizations required to mine at the Allemand-Ross, Barge, Clarkson Hill, Charlie, Jab/West Jab, Nine Mile, Red Rim and portions of the Reno Creek project areas as the resources become necessary to provide material to the Irigaray CPP.

INTRODUCTION

2.1

Registrant/Issuer of Report

This TRS was prepared for UEC to report the results of an IA and describe the Project. The Project includes the 12 project areas shown in Table 1-1.

The Irigaray CPP, located at the Irigaray project area, will serve as the “hub” of the Project, with the other project areas serving as satellite ISR mining facilities, or the “spokes.” For the purposes of this TRS, the satellite facilities are considered material to the Irigaray CPP.

UEC is incorporated in the State of Nevada, with principal offices located at 500 North Shoreline Boulevard, Suite 800N, Corpus Christi, Texas 78401, and at 1030 West Georgia Street, Suite 1830, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 2Y3.

2.2

Terms of Reference

The Project includes the 12 project areas shown in Table 1-1. The Project is owned and operated by UEC. This TRS has been prepared for UEC to report mineral resources for the Project.

2.3

Data Sources, Units of Measurement and Abbreviations

The information and data presented in this TRS were gathered from various sources listed in Chapters 24 and 25 of this TRS.

Data sources for the estimation of uranium mineral resources for the Project include 51,780 drill holes and core holes, including survey coordinates, collar elevations, depths and grade of uranium intercepts.

Units of measurement unless otherwise indicated are feet (ft), miles, acres, pounds (lbs), short tons (2,000 lbs), grams (g), milligrams (mg), liters (L), parts per million (ppm) and gallons per minute (gpm). Uranium production is expressed as pounds U₃O₈, the standard market unit. ISR refers to in-situ recovery, sometimes also termed in-situ leach (ISL). Unless otherwise indicated, all references to dollars ($) refer to United States currency.

2.4

Personal Inspection

WWC professionals most recently visited the project areas on the dates shown in Table 1-1. Additionally, a professional employed by WWC worked at the facilities for over four years in the late 1990s when Christensen Ranch was operated by COGEMA Resources, Inc. (COGEMA). WWC professionals were unable to inspect the Barge project area due to surface access limitations.

2.4.1

QP Qualifications

Completion of this TRS was under the direction and supervision of WWC. WWC is a third-party QP as defined by Regulation S-K 1300. Additionally, WWC has approved the technical disclosure contained in this TRS.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

3.1

Location, Description, Leases and Mineral Rights

The Project is located in Wyoming, USA, and includes the 12 project areas shown in Table 1-1. The Irigaray CPP will serve as the “hub” of the Project, with the other project areas serving as satellite ISR mining facilities, or the “spokes.” The project area locations are shown in Figures 3-1 through 3-3. Each project area is described in detail in Chapters 3.1.1 through 3.1.12.

Mineral rights for the Project are a combination of federally administered minerals (unpatented lode claims), State of Wyoming mineral leases and private (fee) mineral leases. Federal mining claims were staked and recorded consistent with federal and state law, state mineral leases were obtained by submitting a lease application and appropriate fee to the State Board of Land Commissioners and fee mineral leases were obtained through negotiation with individual mineral owners. State surface and mineral leases can be extended in perpetuity, provided that annual payments and/or production royalty payments are current. If the terms of the lease are not fulfilled and/or the lease is not renewed, the State of Wyoming may revoke or terminate the lease. Table 3-1 summarizes the different mineral leases or claims for each project area, expiration dates, if applicable, and the annual maintenance costs.

State mineral leases have a 5% gross royalty attached. No royalties are due to the federal government from mining on lode claims. The claims will remain under UEC’s ownership and control, provided that UEC adheres to required BLM annual filing and payment requirements. Legal surveys of unpatented claims are not required and to the QP’s knowledge have not been completed. Fee minerals have varying royalty rates and calculations, depending on the agreements negotiated with individual mineral owners. In addition, surface use and access agreements may include a production royalty, depending on agreements negotiated with individual surface owners at various levels. UEC’s average combined mineral plus surface production royalty applicable to the Project is variable, based upon the selling price of U₃O₈.

Surface ownership at the Project consists of predominantly agricultural fee lands, lands owned by the State of Wyoming and federally owned lands administered by the BLM. As part of the Wyoming mine permitting process, the company must have obtained surface access to conduct baseline data acquisition and must demonstrate surface owner consent to the mine and reclamation plans. On the project areas that are currently permitted, UEC has surface use agreements in place with the private landowners and, as necessary, the state and federal authorities have approved of the mine and reclamation plans. UEC has or will obtain surface use agreements with landowners and, as necessary, will obtain state and federal approval of the mine and reclamation plans before a mine permit is issued. Obtaining surface access rights is a standard process in mine permitting, and the QP does not anticipate that obtaining these rights presents a significant risk to UEC’s ability to perform work on the Project as a whole. Chapters 3.2 and 3.3 discuss specific project areas in detail.

The QP has not verified the claims within the various project areas or how the claims are mapped or plotted. The QP has relied on information provided by UEC with regard to royalty rates and has not independently verified royalty agreements, rates or surface use and access agreements.

September 2022

The environmental liability for the Project falls under jurisdiction of the WDEQ/LQD, which regulates the Permit to Mine and the Source and Byproduct Materials License. Portions of the Project that are located on federal surfaces would require an approved Plan of Operations from the BLM; this would include wildlife considerations such as greater sage-grouse, which could limit development of resources in some areas.

Other potential permitting requirements, depending on the status of each project area, may include:

●

Source and Byproduct Materials License (WDEQ/Uranium Recovery Program [under LQD]);

●

Wetland delineation and mitigation as required by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in applicable locations;

●

Aquifer exemption (40 CFR 144, 146) for Class III Underground Injection Control (UIC) to be issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA);

●

Air quality permits from WDEQ/Air Quality Division (WDEQ/AQD) for applicable facility construction activities;

●

Groundwater reclassification, if necessary, would be approved by WDEQ/Water Quality Division (WDEQ/WQD) (Wyoming Statutes Title 35-11) as part of the aquifer exemption process;

●

EPA Subpart W pond construction permits would be required to construct holding ponds;

●

If water management will utilize deep disposal, a Class I UIC Permit (deep disposal well) must be approved by WDEQ/WQD (Wyoming Statutes Title 35-11);

●

A Class III UIC Permit to Mine and Class III UIC Permit would be approved by WDEQ/WQD as the primary Permit to Mine to allow injection, recovery and processing of fluids (Wyoming Statutes Title 35-11);

●

Class V UIC permits may be required for any site septic systems (Wyoming Statutes Title 35-11);

●

Construction stormwater NPDES permits must be obtained annually for projected construction activities (Wyoming Statutes Title 35-11);

●

Industrial stormwater NPDES permits would be required in CPP and satellite areas (Wyoming Statutes Title 35-11); and

●

Groundwater appropriations would be obtained from the Wyoming State Engineer’s Office prior to the installation of water supply wells and ISR wellfields.

3.3

Property Risk Factors

A variety of property risk factors exist but are not unique to the specific project areas. Many uranium deposits occur in relatively compact special areas. Large horizontal well pads or wind turbine pads sited on top of mineralization could limit the ability to access resources. Oil and gas development or wind turbines are common in Wyoming. Examples of property risk factors are included in the following list, with descriptions of each risk:

●

Commercial oilfield waste disposal facilities (COWDFs) and/or lined ponds

COWDFs or other lined ponds may limit surface access and could impact optimal placement of wellfields. It is the opinion of the QP that COWDFs and other lined ponds present a low risk of impacting development of the resources.

●

Commercial wind power

Commercial wind power could limit surface accessibility and impact optimal placement of wellfields. There are project areas where the average annual wind speed at 80 meters is suitable for commercial wind development. It is the opinion of the QP that there is a low to moderate risk that commercial wind power could limit development of resources.

●

Industrial wells impacting aquifers

Industrial wells could impact available water in target aquifers but will not impact the resources. It is the opinion of the QP that industrial wells present a low risk of impacting development of the resources.

●

Oil and gas horizontal pads and development

Aquifer dewatering due to shallow water supply wells to produce water used in oil and gas operations could impact target aquifers. Large horizontal wellpads could limit surface accessibility and placement of wellfields. A site-specific discussion is provided below:

■

Allemand–Ross – This project area is spaced for horizontal development with some historical production. It is the opinion of the QP that there is moderate to high risk of impact to resource access.

■

Barge – This project area is spaced for horizontal development with some active drilling and minor horizontal production. It is the opinion of the QP that there is moderate to high risk of impact to resource access. The QP was unable to complete a site visit due to surface access limitations. Since the QP was unable to observe the project area and confirm unobstructed access to mineral trends, additional risk to resource access could be present due to oil and gas development.

■

Charlie – The project area is not spaced for horizontal development, although minor historical conventional production from the Shannon and Parkman formations has occurred. It is the opinion of the QP that there is low to moderate risk of impact to resource access.

■

Christensen Ranch – The project area is not spaced for horizontal development, although minor historical conventional production from the Shannon Formation has occurred. It is the opinion of the QP that there is low to moderate risk of impact to resource access.

3-14

September 2022

■

Clarkson Hill – This project area is not spaced for horizontal development and no historical production or exploration has occurred. It is the opinion of the QP that there is low risk of impact to resource access.

■

Irigaray – A portion of the project area is spaced for horizontal development and some historical development has occurred. It is the opinion of the QP that there is low to moderate risk of impact to the resource access due to the federally controlled surface land in the southern portion of the mineralized resource area.

■

Jab/West Jab – This project area is not spaced for horizontal pads. There has been little exploration and no production. Hydrocarbons are likely present in the Lewis, Mesaverde and Ericson formations. It is the opinion of the QP that there is a low risk of impacts to resource access.

■

Ludeman – The project area is spaced for horizontal development; however, little production has occurred. It is the opinion of the QP that there is moderate to high risk of impact to resource access.

■

Moore Ranch – This project area is spaced for horizontal development with some historical production. It is the opinion of the QP that there is moderate to high risk of impact to resource access.

■

Nine Mile – This project area is not spaced for horizontal development and no historical production or exploration has occurred. It is the opinion of the QP that there is low risk of impact to resource access.

■

Red Rim - This project area is not spaced for horizontal development and no historical production or exploration has occurred. It is the opinion of the QP that there is low risk of impact to resource access.

■

Reno Creek – This project area has historical production as well as additional oil and gas wells that are permitted or waiting on permits. It is the opinion of the QP that there is moderate to high risk of impact to resource access.

●

Surface Development

Where surface ownership of a project area is held by a large number of private entities, there may be challenges to obtaining sufficient surface use agreements (SUAs) for a project, or there may be opposition to a project where it could impact surface use such as residential use.

■

Nine Mile – There are currently multiple landowners, including agricultural operators, land development companies and residential property owners. Surface ownership has been subdivided for residential development in T35N R79W Sections 9, 10, 14, 22, 26, 27 and 34. The multiple property owners and residential land use creates potential risk of not being able to obtain sufficient SUAs for the project and for opposition to a Wyoming Permit to Mine.

ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY

4.1

Physical Setting

4.1.1

Powder River Basin

The Allemand-Ross, Barge, Charlie, Christensen Ranch, Irigaray, Ludeman, Moore Ranch, Nine Mile and Reno Creek project areas are located in the PRB in the counties shown in Table 1‑1. These project areas are in the southern portion of the PRB and generally lie near the synclinal axis of the basin. The exception is the Nine Mile project area, which is near the Casper Arch. The Casper Arch marks the southwestern boundary of the PRB.

The PRB is a part of the Northwestern Great Plains ecoregion (U.S. EPA, 2013), a semiarid rolling plain of shale and sandstone punctuated by occasional buttes. The project areas are characterized as rolling prairie and dissected river breaks. Regional structural features include the Big Horn Mountains to the west, Casper Arch to the south and the Black Hills to the east. At the northernmost project areas in the PRB, the landscape is dominated by the Pumpkin Buttes.

Topography in the area ranges from generally flat to gently rolling hills with numerous drainages containing ephemeral streams that dissect the area. Elevations range from approximately 4,500 to 5,400 ft above mean sea level.

Vegetation within the project areas consists primarily of grassland with areas of sagebrush. Some of the project areas lie within the mixed grass ecoregion of the Northwestern Great Plains. Interspersed among these major vegetation communities, within and along the ephemeral drainages, are grasslands and meadow grasslands and less abundant types of seeded grasslands (improved pastures).

The project areas in the PRB are located in a semi-arid or steppe climate. The region is characterized by cold, harsh winters and hot, dry summers. The spring season is relatively warm and moist, and autumns are cool. Temperature extremes range from roughly -25 °F in the winter to 100 °F in the summer. Typically, the “last freeze” occurs during late May, and the “first freeze” occurs in mid- to late September (Curtis and Grimes, 2004).

Yearly precipitation averages about 13 inches. The region is prone to severe thunderstorm events throughout the spring and early summer months, and much of the precipitation is attributed to these events. Snow falls throughout the winter months (approximately 40 to 50 inches per year) but provides much less moisture than rain events (Curtis and Grimes, 2004).

4.1.2

Greater Green River Basin

The Jab/West Jab and Red Rim project areas are located in the GGRB in the counties shown in Table 1-1. The project areas are in the northeast portion of the GGRB. The GGRB is a structural basin that encompasses nearly 21,000 square miles in southwest Wyoming and northwest Colorado. Regional structural features include the Wyoming thrust belt to the west, the Rawlins Uplift and the Sierra Madre Mountains to the east, the Wind River Mountains to the north and the Uinta Mountains to the south.

4-1

September 2022

The topography at the Jab/West Jab project area ranges from flat plains to gentle slopes that are dissected by southerly-flowing ephemeral washes. Elevations in the area range from approximately 6,900 to 7,400 ft above mean sea level. Topography at the Red Rim project area includes the Red Rim, a prominent low-lying ridge with a southwest/northeast orientation, and Separation Creek, which generally forms the southern boundary of the project area. Elevations range from approximately 6,000 to slightly over 7,000 ft above mean sea level.

The Jab/West Jab and Red Rim project areas are located in the Wyoming Basin Level III ecoregion (U.S. EPA, 2013) and are characterized as rolling sagebrush steppe. This ecoregion is a broad intermontane basin interrupted by hills and low mountains and dominated by arid grasslands and shrublands. Vegetation on the Jab/West Jab project area mostly consists of sagebrush, but includes some native perennial grasses, cushion plants, cacti, perennial forbs and lichens. The Red Rim project area is rangeland with vegetation consisting primarily of sagebrush and grasses.

Yearly precipitation in the area is approximately 8 to 12 inches (Curtis and Grimes, 2004). Precipitation is predominantly in the form of late autumnal to early spring snows. The summer months are usually hot with temperature occasionally exceeding 100 °F, dry and clear except for infrequent rains. Winter conditions can be severe and can include sub-zero temperatures and ground blizzards.

4.1.3

Wind River Basin

The Clarkson Hill project area is in the WRB in Natrona County, Wyoming. Clarkson Hill is located near the southern and eastern margin of the WRB just west of the Casper Arch, which separates the PRB and WRB. The Clarkson Hill project area is located in a broad synclinal valley northeast of the North Granite Mountain Fault. The project area extends from the base to the top of a small mesa known as Clarkson Hill.

Clarkson Hill is located in the Wyoming Basin Level III ecoregion (U.S. EPA, 2013), which is characterized as rolling sagebrush steppe. This ecoregion is a broad intermontane basin interrupted by hills and low mountains and dominated by arid grasslands and shrublands.

The top of the mesa is relatively flat, with an elevation of approximately 6,200 ft above mean sea level. The mesa has approximately 200 ft of vertical relief with some relatively steep slopes, in excess of 3:1 (horizontal to vertical). The currently defined area of mineralization is at the base and along the slope of the mesa.

The most common native vegetation is sagebrush and prairie grasses and, to a lesser extent, rabbitbrush. No threatened or endangered plants are known in the area. Limited upland areas have juniper and limber pine trees on north-facing slopes. Most drainages in the area are ephemeral, flowing only during storm events or spring snow melt. The North Platte River, some four to five miles south of the project area, is perennial and is one of the major river systems in Wyoming.

The climate at the Clarkson Hill project area is continental semi-arid, with annual precipitation of 8-12 inches, mostly falling in the form of late autumnal to early spring snows. The summer months are usually hot with temperature occasionally exceeding 100 ºF, dry and clear except for infrequent rains. Winter conditions can be severe and can include sub-zero temperatures and ground blizzards.

Accessibility and Local Resources

Since the Project includes multiple assets in seven Wyoming counties, there are multiple accessibility and resource options for the various project areas. All of the project areas are accessible and capable of operating year-round given appropriate maintenance of project roads.

Workforce personnel will commute daily from nearby small communities or the larger population centers noted for each property below. The communities included in the Project area have a long history of oil and gas development and uranium and coal mining. The major population centers have adequate workforce skilled in mining and mineral exploration to support the Project. The major population centers of Gillette, Casper, Rawlins, and Rock Springs have adequate oilfield and mining service companies, heavy equipment sales and rentals, drilling and pump contractors, construction contractors and industrial supply companies to serve the Project.

The PRB project areas in Johnson and Campbell counties include Charlie, Christensen Ranch, Irigaray, Moore Ranch and Reno Creek. The nearest community is Wright, which is approximately 9 to 32 miles from the project areas. Wright is a small, incorporated town with a population of 1,644 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020) at the junction of Wyoming Highway 387 and Wyoming Highway 59. Gillette is a major local population center with a population of 33,403 and a regional airport. Gillette is located along Interstate 90, north and east of the project areas via both Wyoming Highway 59 (due north of Wright) and Wyoming Highway 50. The towns of Edgerton and Midwest are in Natrona County, approximately 20 to 30 miles southwest of the project areas on Wyoming Highway 387. A major north–south railroad, BNSF Railway (BNSF), used primarily for transporting coal, is located between 11 and 34 miles east of the project areas and parallel to Wyoming Highway 59.

The PRB project areas in Converse County include Allemand-Ross, Barge and Ludeman. These project areas are near the communities of Glenrock and Douglas. They can be accessed from Interstate 25 via Wyoming Highway 95 from Glenrock, Wyoming Highway 93 from Douglas, or Wyoming Highway 59 from Douglas. The Converse County project areas are approximately 8 to 30 miles from Glenrock. Glenrock is an incorporated town with a population of 2,420 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020) adjacent to Interstate 25. Douglas is an incorporated town with a population of 6,386 also along Interstate 25. Casper is a major population center with a population of 59,038 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020) and a regional airport. Casper is southwest or west of these project areas and can be accessed by state highways to Interstate 25. The same north-south BNSF rail line that runs parallel to Wyoming Highway 59 is eight miles east of the Barge project area and 20 miles east of the Allemand-Ross project area. An east-west railway owned by BNSF is in close proximity to the Ludeman project area, to the south near Interstate 25.

The PRB Nine Mile project area is located in Natrona County near Casper. The Nine Mile project area is bisected by Interstate 25 and is accessible from the Salt Creek Highway, which parallels Interstate 25, and from County Road 705.

The project area is accessible from either Highway 220 or from the Oregon Trail Road, a Natrona County improved gravel road. From Highway 220, the site is approximately four miles northwest of the junction of the highway with Natrona County Road 318. From the Oregon Trail Road, the site is approximately three miles to the southeast. Site access from either route will require an arrangement with intervening private landowners for ingress/egress. The communities of Alcova and Bessemer Bend are located 10 and 13 miles away, respectively, and have limited services. The east-west BNSF railway in Casper is approximately 25 miles northeast of the project area.

Availability of Infrastructure

Equipment and supplies needed for exploration and day-to-day operation are available from population centers such as Gillette, Casper, Rawlins, and Rock Springs. Specialized equipment for the wellfields or the Irigaray CPP will likely need to be acquired from outside the state.

The local economy is geared toward coal mining and oil and gas production as well as ranching operations, providing a well-trained and capable pool of workers for ISR production and processing operations. Workers will reside locally and commute to work daily.

As a result of energy development over the past 50 years, all of the project areas with the exception of Red Rim have existing or nearby (less than two miles) electrical power, gas and adequate telephone and internet connectivity.

At the Allemand-Ross project area, non-potable water will be supplied by wells developed on or near the project area. The Allemand-Ross project area is adjacent to all-weather roadways, which facilitate the transportation of equipment, supplies, personnel and product. Electrical power lines extend into and across the project area.

Near the Barge project area, historical uranium operations in the late 1970s and early 1980s brought access and electrical power to the area, which remain. Water supply needs to be reestablished in the Barge project area. The Barge project area is adjacent to all-weather roadways, which facilitate the transportation of equipment, supplies, personnel and product.

Development of the Charlie project area will require power and water supply. Infrastructure in the immediate vicinity includes an electrical substation and coal-bed methane gas plant. Water may be provided by wells. There is also a 14.4 kVa electrical supply operated by the Sheridan-Johnson Rural Electrical Association, approximately two miles from the project. Since the Charlie project area is surrounded by the Christensen Ranch project area, the two project areas may share infrastructure.

The Christensen Ranch project area is equipped with a satellite ion exchange (IX) plant with 6,500 gpm installed capacity, a groundwater restoration plant with 1,000 gpm capacity, two wastewater disposal wells and four lined evaporation ponds.

No infrastructure has been developed at the Clarkson Hill project area. ISR development will require power and water supply. A utility corridor exists along the Oregon Trail Road, including power and gas transmission lines. The principal access roads to the project area are maintained and year-round access is possible. Water supply could be obtained from locally permitted and constructed wells or from surface water sources including the Platte River, which is located approximately three miles east of the project area.

The Irigaray CPP is a fully operational and licensed ISR processing plant for resin elution, precipitation, filtration and drying and packaging of U₃O₈. The Irigaray CPP has a capacity of 1.3 million lbs U₃O₈ per year, which is expandable to 2.5 million lbs U₃O₈ per year. A second elution system is also at the Irigaray CPP for toll processing. The Irigaray CPP is equipped with a warehouse and office, power, telephone, water tank and domestic waste disposal. Loaded resin from each of the “spoke” project areas described in Chapter 3.1 would be transported to the Irigaray CPP “hub” for final concentrate production.

Limited infrastructure is available within the Jab/West Jab project area. A water supply well was permitted and installed during development drilling. The project area is within 6 to 10 miles of a county road, electrical power and natural gas transmission lines. Nearby infrastructure will be beneficial to future development. The county roads will facilitate the transportation of equipment, supplies, personnel and products.

The Ludeman project area has been used historically for livestock grazing. Nearby uranium operations have occurred historically. Non-potable water will be supplied by wells developed on or near the project area. The proximity of the Ludeman project area to paved roads will facilitate transportation of equipment, supplies, personnel and product. High voltage transmission lines from the Dave Johnston Power Plant pass within the project area.

At the Moore Ranch project area, non-potable water will be supplied by wells developed on or near the project area. The Moore Ranch project area is adjacent to paved, public roadways, which facilitate the transportation of equipment, supplies, personnel and product. Electrical power lines extend into and across the project area.

Infrastructure is present within and/or proximate to the Nine Mile project area. ISR development will require power and water supply. Infrastructure, including power lines and water wells, was established for past pilot ISR mining operations and currently exists for nearby residents in the Homa Hills area. Water supply may be provided by locally permitted and constructed wells.

Aside from existing access roads, no infrastructure has been developed at the Red Rim project area. ISR development will require better access roads, power and a water supply. The Red Rim project area previously had single phase line power and a water supply developed for exploration. Water may be developed from locally permitted and constructed wells.

HISTORY

Uranium was first discovered in the southern PRB during the early 1950s. By the mid- to late 1950s, small open-pit mine operations were established in the PRB. Early prospecting and exploration included geologic mapping and gamma surveys, which led to discoveries of uranium in the Wasatch and Fort Union formations. Extensive drill hole exploration has been utilized since the 1960s to locate deeper uranium mineralization and progress geologic models.

Uranium mineralization was discovered in the GGRB at the Lost Creek Schoekingerite deposits in the early 1950s. The Schoekingerite deposits were exposed at the surface along the Lost Creek drainage and were discovered using radiometric surveys. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) used shallow exploration to further evaluate the deposits. As in the PRB, drilling for deeper deposits began in the 1960s, and exploration since that time has consisted primarily of drilling.

Uranium exploration of the WRB began in 1953 with scintillation counter surveys of the Eocene Wind River Formation in the Gas Hills area (Gregory, 2019). In the mid-1950s, USGS, on behalf of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), studied uranium occurrence and potential in the Clarkson Hill area (Rich, 1962). Near surface uranium mineralization in the Wind River Formation was explored in the 1950s with shallow excavations. Later drilling defined deeper mineralization within the Fort Union Formation near the contact with the Lance Formation.

Ownership, control and operation of the project areas has varied greatly since the 1960s. Table 5-1 summarizes the operations and activities of various companies, the timeframe during which these activities were completed and the results of the work. Table 5-1 also summarizes historical drilling and the number of drill holes completed during each period.

Regional Geology

6.1.1

Powder River Basin

The Allemand-Ross, Barge, Charlie, Christensen Ranch, Irigaray, Ludeman, Moore Ranch, Nine Mile and Reno Creek project areas reside in the PRB. The PRB extends over much of northeastern Wyoming and southeastern Montana and consists of a large north-northwest trending asymmetric syncline, with the basin axis located to the west of the project areas. The PRB is bounded by the Big Horn Mountains and Casper Arch to the west, the Black Hills to the east and the Hartville Uplift and Laramie Mountains to the south. The PRB is filled with marine, non-marine and continental sediments ranging in age from early Paleozoic through Cenozoic.

The Allemand-Ross, Barge, Charlie, Christensen Ranch, Irigaray, Ludeman, Moore Ranch and Reno Creek project areas target mineralization in formations depicted in Figure 6-1, a generalized upper stratigraphic column of the PRB. The Nine Mile project area mineralization is deeper, and a stratigraphic column and cross section for that project area is shown in Figure 6-2. Figure 6-3 shows locations of cross sections for the remaining project areas in the PRB, and Figure 6-3a and 6-3b contain the associated cross sections (McKeel et al., 1973; Flores et al., 2010).

Cretaceous bedrock is exposed at the surface around the margins of the PRB. In the southwestern portion of the PRB, the surficial Cretaceous formations in order of decreasing age are the Cody Shale, Mesa Verde Formation, Fox Hills Sandstone and Lewis Shale and the Lance Formation (Figures 6-1 and 6-2). A summary description of the Cretaceous geology is provided in Love and Christiansen (1985). The Cody Shale is a dull gray shale, gray siltstone and fine-grained gray sandstone. The Mesa Verde is light colored massive to thin-bedded sandstone, gray sandy shale and coal beds. In the southwestern portion of the PRB, reduction-oxidation roll-front uranium deposits occur in the Teapot Sandstone member of the Mesa Verde Formation. Mineralization in the Teapot Sandstone occurs in vanadium-rich roll-fronts in marginal marine sandstone, as heavy mineral accumulations in beach sands (“black sands”), in conglomeratic zones with carbonaceous debris and lignitic shale, and associated with limonite-stained zones of arkosic sandstone (Gregory et al., 2010). The Fox Hills Sandstone is light colored sandstone and gray sandy shale containing marine fossils. The Lewis Shale is gray marine shale containing many gray and brown lenticular concretion-rich sandstone beds. The late Cretaceous Lance Formation is brown and gray sandstone and shale with thin coal and carbonaceous shale beds.

Within the PRB, Tertiary geology includes the Paleocene Fort Union Formation, which conformably overlies the Lance Formation and is a fluvial-sedimentary stratigraphic unit that consists of fine to coarse-grained arkosic sandstone interbedded with siltstone, mudstone and carbonaceous materials. In some areas of the PRB, the Fort Union Formation is divided into two members, identified as the Upper and Lower members of the Fort Union Formation. However, Flores (2004) divides the Fort Union into three members: the Tullock, Lebo and Tongue River members (oldest to youngest). The Tullock Member consists of sandstone, siltstone and sparse coal and carbonaceous shale. The Lebo Member consists of abundant drab gray mudstone, minor siltstone and sandstone and sparse coal and carbonaceous shale beds. The Tongue River Member consists of interbedded sandstone, conglomerate, siltstone, mudstone, limestone, anomalously thick coal beds and carbonaceous shale beds. This member has been mined extensively for its coal beds, which can be hundreds of feet thick (Flores, 2004). The total thickness of the Fort Union Formation varies between 2,000 and 3,500 ft (Conoco, 1981; Sharp and Gibbons, 1964).

Fort Union Formation uranium mineralization occurs in zones that are located in channel sands. These channel sands are typical fining upward sand sequences consisting of fine-grained sandstones. The zones of mineralization formed as typical roll-front deposits in these sandstones (Sharp and Gibbons, 1964).

The early Eocene Wasatch Formation unconformably overlies the Fort Union Formation around the margins of the PRB. However, the two formations are conformable and gradational towards the basin center. The relative amount of coarse, permeable clastics increases near the top of Fort Union, and the overlying Wasatch Formation contains numerous beds of sandstone that can sometimes be correlated over wide areas. The Wasatch-Fort Union contact is separated by Paleocene and Eocene rocks and is generally placed above the Roland coal (Flores and Bader, 1999). However, other authors have placed the Wasatch-Fort Union contact above the School, Badger and Anderson coals in other parts of the PRB. This contact is approximated on the PRB cross sections, which can be viewed on Figures 6-3a and 6-3b (Denson et al., 1978; Flores et al., 2010). The locations of these cross sections are shown on Figure 6-3.

The Wasatch Formation occurs at the surface across much of the PRB. The Wasatch is a fluvial sedimentary unit that consists of a series of silt to very coarse-grained gradational intervals in arkosic sandstone. The sandstone horizons in the Wasatch are the host rocks for several uranium deposits in the central PRB. Within this area, mineralization is found in a 50 to 100 ft thick sandstone lens. On a regional scale, mineralization is localized and controlled by facies changes within this sandstone, including thinning of the sandstone unit, decrease in grain size and increase in clay and organic material content. The Wasatch Formation reaches a maximum thickness of about 1,600 ft and dips northwestward from 1 to 2.5 degrees in the southern and central parts of the PRB (Conoco, 1980; Sharp and Gibbons, 1964).

The Oligocene White River Formation overlies the Wasatch Formation and has been removed from most of the basin by erosion. Remnants of this unit crop out on the Pumpkin Buttes, and at the extreme southern edge of the PRB. The White River Formation consists of clayey sandstone, claystone, a boulder conglomerate and tuffaceous sediments (Sharp and Gibbons, 1964), which may be the primary source rock for uranium in the southern part of the PRB as a whole (Conoco, 1980; Sharp and Gibbons, 1964). The youngest sediments consist of Quaternary alluvial sands and gravels locally present in larger valleys. Quaternary eolian sands can also be found locally.

Greater Green River Basin

The Jab/West Jab and Red Rim project areas are located in the GGRB. The Jab/West Jab project area is in the Great Divide Basin (GDB) portion of the GGRB, and the Red Rim project area is in the Washakie Basin (WB) portion of the GGRB. Together the GDB and WB compromise the eastern portion of the GGRB. These basins contain up to 25,000 ft of Cretaceous to recent sedimentary rocks. Figure 6-4 is a generalized stratigraphic column of the GGRB. Figure 6-5 shows a cross section location map for the Jab/West Jab project area, and the cross section is shown on Figure 6-5a. Figure 6-6 shows a cross section location map for the Red Rim project area, and Figure 6-6a shows the cross section.

During the end of the Cretaceous Period, the Laramide Orogeny divided the Wyoming Basin Province into a series of down-warped basins. As these basins were created, uplift created the Granite and Seminoe Mountains, and older formations were altered during the same time. In the northern regions of the GGRB, swamps, alluvial plains and fluvial fans were present at the margins of the uplifted Granite Mountains. To the southwest, the GGRB is occupied by the lacustrine Eocene Green River Formation and by the lower energy Wasatch Formation. These two facies interfinger with the high-energy fluvial facies of the Battle Spring Formation at the central and eastern areas in the GGRB (Dribus and Nanna, 1982). The Paleocene Fort Union Formation underlies the Wasatch or Battle Springs Formation depending on position within the basin. Uranium deposits in the GDB/WB predominantly occur in roll-front redox deposits but also desert evaporite (Gregory et al., 2010). Roll-front deposits occur in the Battle Spring, Wasatch and Fort Union formations.

The Battle Spring Formation consists of alluvial-fluvial fan deposits of a west to southwest-flowing paleodrainage. The common rock type is arkosic sandstone with interbedded claystone. These types of rock are typical of alluvial-fan facies. Much of this material is sourced from the Granite Mountains, by blockages in normal drainages due to differential subsidence rates. The Wasatch Formation, due to its fluvial nature, contains interbedded siltstones, coal, carbonaceous shale, fine-grained sandstone, sandy limestone and medium-grained fluvial sandstones. The permeable medium- to very coarse-grained sandstones and arkoses are a favorable host for sandstone-type uranium deposits. Fluvial channels incised into less permeable underlying siltstones and sandstones in the Battle Spring during early Eocene time. The channels were backfilled by the massive, poorly-sorted, coalescing alluvial fan deposits, known as the Battle Spring Formation. The Battle Spring Formation includes impermeable carbonaceous shales that created an impermeable boundary for uranium deposits.

The Fort Union Formation is exposed at the surface around the boundary of the GDB. The Fort Union Formation is described as an interbedded sequence of white, gray, tan, buff and brown sandstone, gray to black shale, carbonaceous shale, siltstone, local conglomerate beds and (usually) thin coal beds (Gregory et al., 2010). It may truncate and unconformably overlie older units near basin margins. The Fort Union is unconformably underlain by the Cretaceous Lance Formation and regionally overlain by either the Eocene Wasatch or Battle Spring Formation.

The Lance Formation is described as a gray to buff fine-grained to very fine-grained silty sandstone interbedded with drab to light-green to gray locally carbonaceous siltstone and thin conglomeratic lenses locally (Gregory et al., 2010). The Lance Formation contains the upper Red Rim Member and the lower (unnamed) member. The Red Rim Member is a prominent sandstone package named for its color as it crops out south of Interstate 80 on the eastern rim of the WB (Lynds and Carroll, 2015).

Overbank and floodplain deposits in the Battle Spring Formation also were likely to restrict groundwater flow. These boundaries focused uranium-rich waters into confined permeable units. Faulting also created structural and permeability control (Wallis, 2005).

6.1.3

Wind River Basin

The Clarkson Hill project area is located near the southern and eastern margin of the WRB just west of the Casper Arch, which separates the PRB and WRB. The WRB is a structural basin in west-central Wyoming. The basin is bounded by the Wind River Range to the west, the Casper Arch to the east, the Owl Creek Mountains to the north and the Granite Mountains to the south. The WRB is filled with marine, lacustrine and fluvial sediments ranging in age from Paleozoic to Cenozoic. Figure 6-7 is a generalized stratigraphic column of the WRB. Figure 6-8 shows a cross section location map for the Clarkson Hill project area, and the cross section is shown on Figure 6-8a.

Both the Wind River and Fort Union formations are Cenozoic fluvial sedimentary deposits containing sandstone with economic quantities of uranium. The primary source of sediments for the Wind River and Fort Union formations in the eastern WRB was the ancestral Granite Mountains along the southern boundary of the basin. The Granite Mountains were formed during the Laramide Orogeny, a period of extensive mountain building that began at the end of the Mesozoic Era and continued into the early Cenozoic Era. Subsequent erosion of the Granite Mountain highlands coupled with the down-warping of adjacent basins, such as the WRB and PRB, combined to accumulate thousands of feet of sedimentary deposits.

The Paleocene Fort Union is the oldest Tertiary formation and consists of sandstone, siltstone, shale, coal and local conglomerates. The Fort Union is overlain, often unconformably, by the Eocene Wind River Formation, which consists of sandstones, conglomerates, siltstones and shale. Overlying the Wind River Formation is the Oligocene White River Formation. The White River Formation also consists of sandstones, siltstone and shale; however, along with fluvial deposition of the sands and clays, substantial volumes of windblown volcanic ash (tuffs) were also deposited. This volcanic ash is regarded by many as the source of uranium for many Wyoming sandstone uranium deposits. Economic uranium deposits in the WRB typically occur as roll-front deposits in porous sandstones within the Wind River and Fort Union formations.

Local Geology

6.2.1

Powder River Basin

The Charlie, Christensen Ranch, Irigaray, Moore Ranch and Reno Creek project areas target mineralization in the Eocene-aged Wasatch Formation. Mineralization at the Allemand-Ross and Ludeman project areas occurs in the Paleocene Fort Union Formation. The Barge project area mineralization is in both the Wasatch Formation and the Fort Union Formation. Mineralization at the Nine Mile project area occurs in the Cretaceous Mesa Verde Formation.

Wasatch Formation-hosted Mineralization

Mineralization in the project areas occurs in fluvial sandstones of the lower parts of the Wasatch Formation. Most of the upper Wasatch Formation has been eroded away. The sandstones are arkosic, fine to coarse-grained, with local calcareous lenses. The sandstones contain minor amounts of organic carbon that occurs as dispersed bits or as stringers. Unaltered sandstones are generally gray, while altered sandstones are tan or pink due to hematite or show yellowish coloring due to limonite (Utah International, 1971).

Pyrite occurs in several forms within the host sandstones. In unaltered sandstones, pyrite occurs as small to large single euhedral crystals associated with magnetite, ilmenite and other dark detrital minerals. In altered sandstone, pyrite is typically absent, but locally occurs as tarnished, very fine-grained euhedral crystals. In areas of intense or heavy mineralization, pyrite locally occurs as massive, tarnished crystal aggregates (Utah International, 1971).

At the Barge project area, the “A sand” unit in the Wasatch Formation is the shallowest of four mineralized sand units. The remaining mineralized sand units are in the Fort Union Formation and are discussed below. The A sand mineralized trend is located in the northern portion of the Barge project area and is approximately 4,500 ft long.

At the Charlie Project, the Wasatch Formation sand units have been subdivided into eight separate sub-roll-fronts within the overall mineralized horizon (PRI, 1995). The sands have been designated locally as A through G in descending order. The majority of the currently defined mineral resource falls within the A through D sands, which have a combined thickness of approximately 80 to 100 ft. While mineralization is present in the F and G sands, less than 40 of the over 1,100 drill holes fully penetrated the F and G sands. Similarly, the E sand has only been partially explored.

Mineral resources at the Christensen Ranch and Irigaray project areas are within the fluvial sands of the Wasatch Formation. The sands have been designated K1 through K4 in descending order. These sands vary in thickness from 0 to 100 ft within the Christensen Ranch and Irigaray project areas. They coalesce within portions of the project areas and form massive sequences of roughly 250 ft in thickness. The K1 through K4 sands host uranium roll-front systems, each of which is composed of multiple stacked individual roll-front deposits.

6-18

September 2022

These sands are typically cross-bedded, graded sequences fining upward from very coarse-grained at the base to fine-grained at the top, representing sedimentary cycles from 5 to 20 ft thick. Stacking of depositional cycles resulted in sandstone body ranging in thickness from less than 75 ft to over 200 ft. The Felix Coal seams and the Badger Coal seam are largely laterally continuous and provide important correlation points across the project. Mineralization at the Bing, Moore, North Reno Creek and South Reno Creek resource areas occurs below the Felix Coal seams. At the Pine Tree resource area, the Felix Coal seams are not present and mineralization is also present in shallower deposits.

Geology at Moore Ranch is similar to the geology at the North Reno Creek and Southwest Reno Creek resource areas and includes the Felix and Badger coals. The “70 Sand” mineralized host sand lies 5 to 30 ft below the Felix Coal at an average depth of 180 ft below ground surface and is 40 to 120 ft thick.

Fort Union Formation-hosted Mineralization

The host rocks for the uranium ore deposits in the project areas are the arkosic sandstones of the Fort Union Formation, which underlies the Wasatch Formation. These channel deposits are confined by mudstones that serve as aquitards to the water saturated aquifers (Lemmers and Smith, 1981).

The arkosic sandstones of the Fort Union Formation are gray to red, clay-rich, cross-bedded, cherty and poorly sorted, with grain sizes in individual beds ranging from fine to very coarse with coarse being the average. Minor to very abundant pyrite and carbonaceous material are present in most of the unaltered (unoxidized) channel deposits. The finer grained rocks range from medium gray siltstones to dark gray carbonaceous claystones. Structure contours indicate a gentle dip to the northeast at an average of one degree (Lemmers and Smith, 1981).

At the Allemand-Ross project area, the Fort Union Formation is divided into three members, with mineralized sands in the Lebo Member. However, in certain areas at the edge of the PRB, the contacts between members become uncertain and the Fort Union is broken up into two members, the Upper and Lower Fort Union Formation (Sharp and Gibbons, 1964). Mineralization at the Allemand-Ross project area is in five sandstone units, designated as the 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 sands in ascending order. The thicknesses of the individual sand units range from less than 10 ft to over 150 ft.

In the Barge project area, three units of the Fort Union Formation host mineralization. These units have been designated the U, M and L sands in descending order. The thickness of these units varies from 55 to 75 ft. The 10 trends in the U, M and L sands at the Barge project area range in length from 2,400 to over 10,000 ft.

Mineralization at the Ludeman project area occurs in the Lower Member of the Fort Union Formation, which correlates to Lebo Member mineralization at the Allemand-Ross project area (WWC, 2019b; WWC 2019c). The primary hosts for mineralization are, in ascending order, the 70, 80 and 90 sands. These sands vary in thickness across the Ludeman project area and can be over 150 ft thick. The underlying 40 and 50 sands contain lesser amounts of resources and have not been as fully explored.

Mesa Verde Formation-hosted Mineralization

At the Nine Mile project area, uranium mineralization occurs within the upper portions of the Mesa Verde Formation, which is overlain by the Lewis Shale and underlain by the Cody Shale. Locally the Mesa Verde Formation is subdivided into the Teapot Sandstone and Nine Mile Facies (Atherley et al., 1981). The Teapot Sandstone is sub-arkosic, medium to fine-grained, angular to sub-angular and moderate to well sorted (Nigbor et al., 1982).

6-19

September 2022

Mineralization at the Nine Mile project area occurs in both the Upper and Lower sands of the Teapot Sandstone. The combined thickness of the Upper Teapot and Lower Teapot ranges from 50 to 100 ft. Both sand units are laterally extensive across the project area. Uranium mineralization is of the roll-front type with an average thickness of nine ft. The principal uranium mineral is uraninite (UO₂) with minor amounts of coffinite a uranium silicate. The principal reductant appears to be carbonaceous material and lignites interspersed in zones of mineralization (Nigbor et al., 1982).

6.2.2

Greater Green River Basin

Mineralization at the Jab/West Jab project area occurs in the Battle Spring Formation, and mineralization at the Red Rim project area occurs in the Fort Union Formation.

Battle Spring Formation-hosted Mineralization

The Battle Spring Formation was deposited by a large alluvial fan system and consists of very fine to very coarse-grained arkosic sandstones with interbedded thick shales, mudstones and localized conglomerates. The Battle Spring Formation is relatively flat in the Jab/West Jab project areas.

Within the Jab project area, mineralization occurs as trend that is approximately 10,000 ft long and 100 to over 1,000 ft wide. Mineralization is within a single sandstone unit and ranges in thickness from less than 1 to over 40 ft. The Jab project area contains the Silverbell and RD areas, which are divided by a high-angle normal fault with approximately 80 ft of displacement. The Silverbell portion of the mineralization is on the down-thrown side of the fault, and the RD portion of the mineralization is on the up-thrown side of the fault.

At the West Jab project area, mineralization occurs along a trend that is approximately 7,100 ft long and 50 to over 200 ft wide. Most of the mineralization occurs within a single unit; however, in the northeast portion of the project, there is also mineralization in a lower sand unit (BRS, 2019b). Mineralized thickness at the West Jab project area ranges from less than 1 to over 25 ft.

Fort Union Formation-hosted Mineralization

The Fort Union Formation is a medium to coarse-grained arkosic sandstone that generally grades upward. The Fort Union is unconformably underlain by the Cretaceous Lance Formation and regionally overlain by the Eocene Wasatch Formation. North of Separation Creek, the basal portion of the Fort Union Formation is a prominent ridge-forming unit that is composed of dominantly arkosic sandstone that is often altered. South of Separation Creek, the formation becomes less resistant, is composed of sub-arkosic to quartzose, and is generally not altered. The two commonly cited sources of uranium for the Red Rim are the Granite Mountains and leaching of Oligocene and Miocene volcanics.

Uranium deposits at the Red Rim project area occur as roll-fronts in a single sand unit within the lower Fort Union Formation, near the contact with the Lance Formation. The host sandstone unit has been designated the #3 sand, and ranges in thickness from approximately 60 to 120 ft. Mineralized thickness ranges from 1 to 23.5 ft.

6-20

September 2022

6.2.3

Wind River Basin

Mineralization at the Clarkson Hill project area occurs in the Fort Union Formation. Mineralization has also been reported in the overlying Wind River Formation, but exploration has not characterized this mineralization.

Fort Union Formation-hosted Mineralization

The Paleocene Fort Union Formation is a terrestrial sedimentary deposit consisting of sandstone, siltstone, shale, coal and local conglomerates. The primary source of Fort Union Formation sediments was the ancestral Granite Mountains west and south of the Clarkson Hill project area. At the project area, the Fort Union Formation is approximately 75 to 150 ft thick.

At the Clarkson Hill project area, mineralization occurs at multiple depths within the Fort Union Formation. Mineralized thickness ranges from less than 5 to over 20 ft, and the mineralized trend is approximately 5,500 ft long.

6.3

Mineralization and Deposit Type

Uranium mineralization at all of the project areas is typical of Wyoming roll-front sandstone deposits. The formation of roll-front deposits is largely a groundwater process that occurs when uranium-rich, oxygenated groundwater interacts with a reducing environment in the subsurface and precipitates uranium. The most favorable host rocks for roll-fronts are permeable sandstones within large aquifer systems. Interbedded mudstone, claystone and siltstone are often present and aid in the formation process by focusing groundwater flow. The geometry of mineralization is dominated by the classic roll-front “C” shape or crescent configuration at the redox interface. The highest-grade portion of the front occurs in a zone termed the “nose” within reduced ground just ahead of the alteration front. Ahead of the nose, at the leading edge of the solution front, mineral quality gradually diminishes to barren within the “seepage” zone. Trailing behind the nose, in oxidized (altered) ground, are weak remnants of mineralization referred to as “tails,” which have resisted re-mobilization to the nose due to association with shale, carbonaceous material or other lithologies of lower permeability. Tails are generally not amenable to ISR because the uranium is typically found within strongly reduced or impermeable strata, therefore making it difficult to leach (Davis, 1969; Rackley, 1972).

EXPLORATION

7.1

Drilling Programs

Drilling was conducted by conventional rotary methods using a variety of bit diameters and configurations. Drilling programs generally followed industry standards where cuttings are collected at regular intervals and examined by an on-site geologist to record lithology and geochemical alteration (redox state). Holes are then probed using gamma ray, spontaneous potential and single point resistance or other logging methods to aid in grade estimation and lithologic correlation.

Cores were also collected from a limited number of holes throughout the project areas. Cores were collected at the drill by a geologist, boxed and labeled as appropriate and transported to a secure facility. Cores were then logged and scanned with radiation detection devices, and samples were identified and marked. Core samples were then sent to laboratories for testing for disequilibrium, metallurgy and hydrogeological parameters.

Since acquiring the properties, UEC has performed no exploration and has relied entirely on legacy data for the updated mineral resource estimates and project planning. Table 7-1 summarizes the historical exploration programs that have been conducted at the project areas. Figures 7-1 through 7-5 depict the drill holes at each project area.

Considering the number of drill holes and associated data, the QP did not review all of the drilling information for the project areas. Rather, the QP reviewed select logs from each of the project areas and evaluated the quality and nature of the work done by previous owners. In the opinion of the QP, previous exploration work by multiple operators/owners was conducted using industry-standard practices and procedures meeting regulatory requirements in place at the time the work was conducted.

Hydrogeologic Information

The hydrogeologic investigations conducted in the project areas include surface water and groundwater investigations, aquifer property investigations and groundwater modeling.

Surface water and groundwater investigations have been conducted with respect to water quality and surface water flow characteristics. These investigations were conducted as part of general site investigations and to satisfy regulatory requirements for baseline site characterization. Water quality testing has consisted of sampling wells, stream channels and impoundments within and near the project areas. At some projects, samples were collected regularly throughout the year according to state and federal regulatory requirements for baseline sampling plans. At other projects, limited sampling was conducted for general investigative purposes. Sampling programs conducted as part of baseline characterization for permitting must follow standard procedures for sample security and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC), including chain-of-custody forms and appropriate duplicate and blank samples.

The dominant method for determining hydraulic properties of the aquifers in the project areas is in-situ testing using aquifer pump tests. Aquifer pump tests conducted included single and multi-well tests, where a well is pumped at a specific flow rate and the drawdown or response in neighboring wells is observed. The observations are analyzed to estimate parameters such as the transmissivity and storage coefficient of the aquifer. Aquifer pump test results allow in-situ characterization of the production zone aquifer to demonstrate sufficient geologic confinement and transmissivity for ISR operations. Aquifer pump testing has historically and is currently the industry standard for characterization of groundwater flow parameters. In some cases, lab physical testing of core samples for permeability and porosity was also conducted. Procedures related to core sampling and testing are discussed in Chapter 8.1 of this TRS.

The QP was unable to review all of the data associated with hydrogeologic investigations at the project areas due to the quantity of data. In addition, some of the data were not available for the review. It is the opinion of the QP that previous hydrogeologic studies were generally conducted using industry-standard practices and procedures meeting regulatory requirements in place at the time the work was conducted. Historical mining in areas not previously evaluated for hydrogeologic conditions would suggest that physical characteristics of the host formations are conducive to ISR.

The level of hydrogeologic investigation conducted for the individual project areas generally correlates to the overall progress of the Project, as it relates to regulatory permitting and approval. Extensive hydrogeologic testing is required to obtain state and federal permits for ISR operations. UEC’s project areas included in this TRS are in varying stages of development. Some project areas such as Christensen Ranch have been developed and have had significant production, while other project areas such as Barge have not yet been permitted. Table 7-2 classifies the extent of hydrogeologic investigations that have been conducted in each project area. For additional details on the hydrogeologic investigations conducted in the project areas, please refer to the applicable permit documents for each project area, which are available from WDEQ.

Geotechnical Information

Project areas where geotechnical investigations have been conducted include Christensen Ranch, Irigaray, Ludeman and Reno Creek. Investigations generally included shallow borings to determine soil properties and depth to groundwater for designs of plant building foundations and holding ponds. Additional details of the investigation at the Reno Creek project area are included in the TRS prepared for the Reno Creek Project (WWC, 2022). Details of investigations conducted at the Christensen Ranch and Irigaray project areas are included in the permit documents for the Willow Creek Project. These documents are available from the WDEQ. Geotechnical investigations will be conducted at the other project areas prior to construction of satellite plants, holding ponds and other associated infrastructure.

The QP noted that the Christensen Ranch and Irigaray facilities have already been constructed, and to the QP’s knowledge, these facilities are currently functioning without issue. The QP reviewed the geotechnical investigation conducted at the Reno Creek project area. In the opinion of the QP, the methodology of these investigations is appropriate, and the results are reasonable and acceptable.

SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES AND SECURITY

8.1

Typical and Standard Industry Methods

UEC has not carried out any sampling on the Project. Mineral resource estimates are based on historical drill hole data that were acquired by UEC. UEC has no direct knowledge of the sample preparation, analyses and security for this work and has relied on information provided in previous reporting. Based on the QP’s review of the Project data and previous reporting, it is the QP’s opinion that exploration was conducted and documented in accordance with industry standards in place at the time the work was performed. Details on sample preparation, analysis and security are not available for all the work previously performed. Mineral resource estimates are based on data from drill hole gamma ray logs and laboratory assay of core samples. The QP has verified these data as described in Chapter 9.

UEC has QA/QC procedures to guide drilling, logging, sampling, analytical testing, sample handling and storage. UEC has followed these procedures as they relate to handling and storing previously collected data.

The sample preparation, analyses and security procedures typically used in previous Project work are described below, along with UEC’s procedures for sample and data handling and storage.

Downhole Geophysical Logging

Geophysical logging was routinely conducted for drill holes on the Project. Geophysical logs typically collected data for gamma ray, single-point resistance, spontaneous potential and drill hole deviation. Natural gamma logs provide an indirect measurement of uranium content by logging gamma radiation in counts per second (CPS) at 0.1 ft intervals. CPS are then converted to equivalent U₃O₈ (eU₃O₈). The conversion requires an algorithm and several correction factors that are applied to the CPS value. The correction factors include a k-factor, dead time factor and water factor. K-factors and dead times vary from probe to probe and can also vary in each probe over time. Industry standards include regular recalibration of gamma ray probes at a U.S. Department of Energy test pit. The nearest test pit locations are Casper, Wyoming and Grand Junction, Colorado.

Downhole deviation surveys were also routinely conducted in drill holes and provide true depth, azimuth and distance from collar location. Industry standards include evaluating deviation and applying true depth corrections, if necessary. No true depth corrections were required for the Project.

Drill hole locations were surveyed using traditional or GPS methods, depending on when the work was performed. All recent drill hole collar locations were surveyed using Trimble GPS technology to provide easting and northing coordinates and elevations.

Drill hole locations and logs were provided to UEC in paper and/or digital formats. UEC transferred paper locations and logs to digital formats. Any field geologist’s lithology logs were also included for further evaluation. UEC maintains Project drill hole data on a local, secure server with physical backups.

September 2022

Core Drilling

Cores are typically collected at the drill by the supervising geologist, then boxed and labeled with appropriate identification. Core boxes are transported to a locked storage facility and stored securely until core samples are prepared and sent under chain-of-custody for laboratory analysis. Geophysical logging of core holes is typically performed using the same procedures as in conventional rotary drill holes.

In general, core sample preparation and analysis followed standard industry practices. These practices included: measurement and detailed geologic descriptions, evaluation using hand-held scintillometer, correlation with down hole geophysical logs, bagging and sealing to prevent oxidation, and boxing to maintain core integrity.

Core samples from the Project were analyzed by multiple independent laboratories including Core Laboratories in Denver, Colorado and Houston, Texas; Energy Laboratories in Casper, Wyoming; J.E. Litz and Associates of Golden, Colorado; Weatherford Laboratories (now Stratum Reservoir) of Casper, Wyoming; Inter-Mountain Laboratories, Inc. (now Pace Analytical Services, LLC) of Sheridan, Wyoming; and Skyline Laboratories of Wheatridge, Colorado.

Equilibrium Studies

The great majority of the data available for estimating mineral resources is radiometric logging data from which the uranium content is interpreted. Radiometric equilibrium conditions may affect the grade and spatial location of uranium in the mineralization. Generally, the equilibrium ratio of chemical U₃O₈ (c) to radiometric eU₃O₈ (e) is assumed to be one, i.e., equilibrium is assumed. Equilibrium occurs when the relationship of uranium to its naturally occurring radioactive progeny is in balance. Oxygenated groundwater moving through a deposit can disperse uranium down the groundwater gradient, leaving most of the progeny in place. The dispersed uranium will be in a favorable state of disequilibrium (c/e greater than one), while the depleted area will be in an unfavorable state (c/e less than one). The effect of disequilibrium can vary within a deposit and has been shown to be variable from the oxidized to the reduced side of the roll-fronts.

Previous reports for six of the project areas determined that data were adequate to evaluate equilibrium conditions. All of these evaluations concluded that the project areas exhibited radiometric equilibrium. Data for the remaining project areas were not adequate to evaluate radiometric equilibrium conditions.

Lithologic Logs

Standard industry practice is to collect drill cutting samples from all drill holes, typically at five ft depth intervals. These samples are documented by a field geologist, who prepares a lithologic log for the drill hole. Lithologic logs are not used directly in the preparation of mineral resource estimates, but they are valuable for confirming geophysical log interpretation and for identifying redox conditions based on sample color. Identifying redox conditions in the host formation is critical for the interpretation and mapping of roll-fronts.

September 2022

Groundwater Quality Testing

The pre-operational baseline collection period utilized guidance from WDEQ/LQD Guideline 4, WDEQ/WQD Guideline 8 and NRC Regulatory Guides 4.14 and 4.15 to ensure proper QA/QC procedures were implemented during all sampling efforts.

All samples were sent to labs where testing was conducted in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.

Key QA/QC procedures utilized included:

●

establishing monitoring locations and frequency of sampling efforts in accordance with applicable WDEQ and NRC rules and regulations;

●

ensuring all field parameters were stabilized for three consecutive readings prior to sample collection as required when low-flow sampling techniques are used (WDEQ/LQD Guideline 4, Reference Document 10);

●

adhering to all sample preservation and handling requirements;

●

establishing a documented chain-of-custody program;

●

collecting random duplicate samples as required;

●

collecting field blank samples as required; and

●

maintaining current field equipment calibration schedules as required by the manufacturer.

8.2

QP Opinion on Sample Preparation, Security and Analytical Procedures

In the opinion of the QP:

●

drill programs included downhole gamma ray, spontaneous potential and single point resistance logs. Industry-standard practice is that gamma ray probes are calibrated at a U.S. Department of Energy test pit and are checked routinely in a local bore hole as a QC measure. Uranium grades (eU₃O₈) are based entirely on probe data and are considered to have adequate QC. Both the probe use and QC measures are in line with uranium industry-standard operating procedures;

●

sample collection, preparation, analysis and security for core hole drill programs are in line with industry-standard methods for roll-front uranium deposits, but the data are used only for disequilibrium studies;

●

digital database construction and security are adequate. The physical database is properly organized and secure; and

●

data ware subject to validation and checks that are considered appropriate and consistent with industry standards.

The QP did not review all procedures conducted for sample preparation, analysis and security for each sample due to the quantity of the associated data. In the opinion of the QP, previous operators/owners used industry-standard practices and procedures meeting regulatory requirements in place at the time the work was conducted. The QP is of the opinion that the quality of the uranium analytical data is sufficiently reliable to support mineral resource estimation without limitations on mineral resource confidence categories.

DATA VERIFICATION

9.1

Summary

The following is a summary of all data verification efforts for each project area discussed in this TRS.

Allemand-Ross

●

Data used for the resource estimate at the Allemand-Ross project area consisted of drill maps, cross-sections, geophysical logs, lithologic logs and historical reports developed by Conoco intent on developing the property as a production center. Industry-standard methods were used at the time of data collection.

●

Paper records of historical radiometric data were input into a spreadsheet. Radiometric log interpretation was spot checked for the higher-grade intercepts.

●

Historical drill hole locations were verified by plotting their coordinates and checking against original maps. Field checks of historical drill hole locations were conducted, and the locations were found to be within acceptable tolerances. Historical drill hole location coordinates were then converted to match the North American Datum (NAD) 83 coordinate system for recent drill holes. Approximately 10% of the historical drill holes were resurveyed.

●

Recent drill hole data included collar elevation, collar location, grade and elevation of mineralized intercepts, bottom hole elevation and locations that had utilized modern survey-grade GPS equipment.

●

Confirmation drilling by way of offset holes has been conducted by previous owners to validate historical data.

●

Since no historical core samples exist for verification, core drilling of the project area was conducted in 2005 with the completion of 11 holes.

●

WWC prepared an independent Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) Technical Report on resources for this project area in April 2019 (WWC, 2019c). The current resource estimate is based on that report.

Barge

●

Data used for the resource estimate at the Barge project area consisted of original geophysical and lithologic logs and an electronic drill hole database.

●

The QP reviewed the mineral resource model and, in the QP’s opinion, the model is accurate and reliable.

●

An independent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Technical Report Resource Estimate for the project was prepared in April 2019 by BRS, Inc. (2019a). The QP has reviewed the data verification procedures of this report and considers the procedures credible and reliable.

9-1

September 2022

Charlie

●

Data used for the resource estimate at the Charlie project area consisted of original geophysical and lithologic logs and an electronic drill hole database.

●

An independent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Technical Report Resource Estimate for the project area was prepared in April 2019 (BRS, 2019c), and a Preliminary Economic Assessment was prepared in September 2019 (BRS, 2019d) by BRS, Inc. The QP has reviewed the data verification procedures of these reports and considers the procedures credible and reliable.

Christensen Ranch and Irigaray

●

The resource estimate is based on historical drill holes with uranium assays by gamma logging and a limited number of core holes with chemical assays. Industry-standard methods were used at the time of data collection.

●

Both the Christensen Ranch and Irigaray project areas have been successfully mined since 1978 and are currently on care and maintenance. Past production from both project areas confirms the presence of significant mineral resources that were estimated using similar methods.

●

A study was conducted in 1982 that compared the chemical assays of 77 historical core holes drilled on the property with radiometric data that had been reinterpreted. Conclusions of the study indicate that the total grade thicknesses (GTs) are well within the margin of error expected in such calculations, but that radiometric interpretations showed a bias. The original estimates underestimated the in-place grades and overestimated the in-place thicknesses of mineralized zones. It was concluded that these biases effectively offset one another (Scott Wilson Mining, 2010).

●

Another study was conducted in 1994 with prompt fission neutron (PFN) logging equipment to determine equilibrium and the extent of remobilized uranium in a producing wellfield. Core samples were also collected and chemically assayed to check the accuracy of the PFN logging and further determine disequilibrium. The study found that the PFN logging determined the same vertical and horizontal mineralization limits as the gamma logs. Core hole chemical assays were also compared with historical gamma logs, and the results indicated reasonably good correlations between the two (Scott Wilson Mining, 2010).

●

A WWC professional previously worked at the Christensen Ranch and Irigaray project areas from 1995 until 1999. During that time, he was the only on-staff geologist at the project areas and was responsible for reviewing thousands of logs for mine unit planning and development and has personal knowledge of the data quality.

Clarkson Hill

●

Data used for the resource estimate at the Clarkson Hill project area consisted of original geophysical and lithologic logs and an electronic drill hole database.

●

An independent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Technical Report Resource Estimate for the project was prepared in July 2017 by BRS, Inc. (2017b). The QP has reviewed the data verification procedures of this report and considers the procedures credible and reliable.

9-2

September 2022

Jab/West Jab

●

Data used for the resource estimate at the Jab/West Jab project area consisted of original geophysical and lithologic logs and an electronic drill hole database.

●

The QP reviewed a random sampling of 10% of the original logs and compared the GT, intercept depth and location to the mineral intercept table used in the GT contour mineral resource estimate.

●

Confirmation drilling to validate historical data on the Jab portion of the project area was conducted by previous owners in 2006 and 2007. 20 offset holes were drilled within 10 ft of the surface location of historical holes. With respect to total GT of all 20 verification holes, the variance from historical holes was less than 1%; however, variation in individual holes was higher. The GT variation of offset holes ranged from 39% less to 142% more than the historical holes.

●

An independent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Technical Report Resource Estimate for the project area was prepared in April 2019 by BRS, Inc. (2019b). The QP has reviewed the data verification procedures of this report and considers the procedures credible and reliable.

Ludeman

●

Data used for the resource estimate at the Ludeman project area consisted of drill maps, cross-sections, geophysical logs, lithologic logs, reports and digital databases. Industry-standard methods were used at the time of data collection.

●

Historical radiometric data log interpretation was spot checked for the higher-grade intercepts.

●

Historical drill hole locations were verified by plotting their coordinates and checking against original maps. Historical drill hole location coordinates were then converted to match the NAD 83 coordinate system for recent drill holes. Approximately 10% of the historical drill holes were resurveyed.

●

Confirmation drilling by way of offset holes has been conducted by previous owners to validate historical data.

●

The Ludeman project area has been host to two successful pilot plant studies. The Luenberger Pilot was in production for 12 months from two wellfields, which recovered a combined 14,600 lbs U₃O₈. Recovery rates in the two wellfields were 68% and 27% of estimated in-place resources, and peak head grades were 175 ppm and 32 ppm (UNC Teton-Nedco, 1983). The North Platte Pilot was in production for five months with total recovery of 1,515 lbs of U₃O₈ at a recovery rate of 27% (Ortiz, 2005). Baseline investigations for a third pilot study were conducted by the APS Commission; however, actual pilot-scale production was never conducted. Laboratory leach testing noted that the overall recovery averaged 76% of estimated in-place resource (Hazen, 1984).

●

WWC prepared an independent NI 43-101 Technical Report on Resources for this project area in April 2019 (WWC, 2019b). The current resource estimate is based on that report.

9-3

September 2022

Moore Ranch

●

Data used for the resource estimate at the Moore Ranch project area consisted of drill maps, cross-sections, geophysical logs and lithologic logs developed by Conoco, a major U.S. company, intent on developing the property as a production center. Industry-standard methods were used at the time of data collection.

●

Paper records of historical radiometric data were input into a spreadsheet. Radiometric log interpretation was spot checked for the higher-grade intercepts.

●

Confirmation drilling by way of offset holes has been conducted by previous owners to validate historical data.

●

Since no historical core samples exist for verification, core drilling of the project area was conducted in 2006 and 2008. The cores were assayed to verify historical data, and two were used for leach testing.

●

WWC prepared an independent NI 43-101 Technical Report on Resources for this project area in April 2019 (WWC, 2019a). The current resource estimate is based on that report.

Nine Mile

●

Data used for the resource estimate at the Nine Mile project area consisted of original geophysical and lithologic logs and an electronic drill hole database.

●

The Nine Mile project area was host to several pilot-scale ISR studies in the 1970s performed by RME, including a joint study with U.S. Bureau of Mines from 1977 to 1979. Pilot-scale ISR mining was conducted using four seven-spot patterns with a 50 ft radius. The testing demonstrated that uranium recovery using a sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide lixiviant was successful (Nigbor et al., 1982).

●

An independent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Technical Report Resource Estimate for the project area was prepared in March 2018 by BRS, Inc. (2018). The QP has reviewed the data verification procedures of this report and considers the procedures credible and reliable.

9-4

September 2022

Red Rim

●

Data used for the resource estimate at the Red Rim project area consisted of original geophysical and lithologic logs and an electronic drill hole database.

●

An independent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Technical Report Resource Estimate for the project area was prepared in March 2017 by BRS, Inc. (2017a). The QP has reviewed the data verification procedures of this report and considers the procedures credible and reliable.

Reno Creek

●

WWC prepared an independent TRS titled “S-K 1300 Initial Assessment Mineral Resource Report Reno Creek Project, Campbell County, WY USA,” which was current on December 31, 2021. That report details the resource estimate data verification for the Reno Creek project area (WWC, 2022).

9.2

Exploration Potential

9.2.1

Charlie Project Area

Exploration potential was estimated for several of the sand units at the Charlie project area. Exploration targets were defined for the E, F and G sand units. These units are deeper and were not as extensively drilled as the upper sand units A through D. While mineralization is present in drilling for the F and G sands, less than 40 of the over 1,100 drill holes fully penetrated the F and G sands. Similarly, the E sand has only been partially explored. Within the E sand there are areas where the drill data reflect sufficient thickness, grade and continuity to estimate indicated and inferred mineral resources as discussed in Chapter 11.

Methods

Exploration targets were estimated by applying a range of GT values, determined from available drill data, to an interpreted trend of mineralization. A trend for each of the exploration target areas was defined from drilling and/or geologic data based on a redox front interpreted from the drill data by the QP.

Specific parameters used included:

●

The average GT by sand varied from a low value of 0.63 (7.0 ft @ 0.09% eU₃O₈) to a high value of 1.28 (8.5 ft @ 0.151% eU₃O₈).

●

A width across the redox front of 50 ft was assumed for both the low and high cases.

●

The length of trend was interpreted as 10,060 ft without accounting for the typical sinuosity observed along roll-fronts.

Exploration Potential Estimate

Exploration potential estimates at the Charlie project area are shown in Table 9-1.

In the opinion of the QP, the methods used and results of the exploration potential for the Charlie project area are reasonable and standard for the ISR industry. However, exploration potential does not meet the SEC standards identified in S-K 1300 to be considered mineral resources or mineral reserves and, as such, there is no certainty that the exploration potential provided herein will be realized.

9-5

September 2022

9.2.2

Jab/West Jab

Exploration potential was estimated for several of the trends at the Jab/West Jab project area. The mineral outline in the Jab area is mapped with sufficient data to provide an estimate of exploration potential. Table 9-2 contains the results from this estimate. These estimates were derived from drill holes with mineral intercept data where the spacing was too sparse to classify the resource. In the future, increased drilling in this area could upgrade this potential resource to a classified resource.

Methods

Exploration potential for the Jab/West Jab project area was derived from drill holes that were spaced too far apart (800+ ft) to be considered inferred. Resources were estimated on the basis of substantial geological evidence and by projecting mineralization along the defined redox front using the nearest available data points in areas of limited sampling data. The available data were sufficient to estimate exploration potential but not sufficient to verify geological and grade continuity to a level of confidence that would support the classification of the resource.

Exploration Potential Estimate

Exploration potential estimates at the Jab/West Jab project area are shown in Table 9-1.

In the opinion of the QP, the methods used and results of the exploration potential for the Jab/West Jab project area are reasonable and standard for the ISR industry. However, exploration potential does not meet the SEC standards identified in S-K 1300 to be considered mineral resources or mineral reserves and, as such, there is no certainty that the exploration potential provided herein will be realized.

Table 9‑1: Project Exploration Potential

Exploration Potential	GT Cutoff	Average Grade % eU₃O₈	Ore Tons (000s)	eU₃O₈ (lbs)

9.3

Limitations

As noted in previous sections, all data used for mineral resource estimates is from historical drill holes and core samples that were collected by previous owners of the properties. In some instances, the data are not in the possession of UEC, and therefore were not available for review and verification by the QP. In addition, due to the sheer quantity of data associated with the project areas, the QP was unable to review all of the data.

The QP visited all of the project areas except the Barge project area, which was inaccessible.

9.4

QP Opinion on Data Adequacy

Based on the QP’s review of the Project data and previous reporting, it is the QP’s opinion that exploration was conducted and documented in accordance with industry standards in place at the time the work was performed. The QP finds the historical and more recent exploration data and the overall data adequacy to be reasonably sufficient for applying QA/QC techniques. The QP has verified the Project data as described above. The significant delineation and production drilling conducted at the Christensen Ranch and Irigaray project areas has repeatedly shown that the exploration methods used for the Project produce data that can be verified in a production scenario.

MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING

10.1

Summary of Properties

UEC plans to use an ISR mineral extraction process to recover uranium from the host sandstone formations in the project areas. UEC will employ a leaching solution, lixiviant, composed of an oxidant and sodium bicarbonate, to bring the uranium to the surface through a series of injection and recovery wells.

The proposed mineral processing for the Project is the same as is currently being used or proposed at other ISR operations in Texas, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The components of uranium ISR are typically the following:

●

Wellfields to inject the lixiviant solution and recover the uranium, which is pumped to the surface by recovery wells and then to a satellite plant;

●

Processing in a satellite plant, which recovers dissolved uranium through an IX circuit onto resin, and transportation of the loaded resin to a CPP; and

●

Further processing in a CPP, which includes the following:

Elution Circuit to remove the uranium from the IX resins and produce a rich eluate;

Yellowcake circuit to precipitate the uranium as yellowcake from the rich eluate; and

Yellowcake dewatering, drying and packaging circuit to filter, dry and package the yellowcake for shipment.

UEC has not performed any metallurgical testing in the project areas since acquiring them. A summary of the mineral processing and metallurgical testing previously conducted for the project areas is included in Table 10-1.

Table 10-1.

Project Area Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing Summary

Project Area	Notes
Allemand-Ross	No recent mineral processing or metallurgical testing has been conducted on material from the Allemand-Ross project area or in-situ.
Barge	Mineralized material in the vicinity of the Barge project area was mined by open pit methods and recovered by conventional mineral processing. In addition, testing by RME of ISR at the Bear Creek mine utilized acidic lixiviant in various concentrations ranging from 5 to 12 mg/L H₂SO₄. The average uranium content in the effluent ranged from 50 to 80 ppm. The report recommends a lixiviant concentration of 3 mg/L H₂SO₄. Porosity in the sand of the Wasatch Formation was 28%. However, alkaline lixiviants commonly used in ISR were not tested (BRS, 2019a).

Table 10-1:

Project Area Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing Summary (Continued)

Project Area	Notes
Charlie	In 1994, PRI entered a joint venture agreement with Charlie project area owner Cotter and completed a feasibility study for development as an ISR mine. As part of the feasibility study PRI completed a comprehensive bench scale leach test in July 1994 (PRI, 1995) which concluded that the mineralized material could be successfully leached using carbonate lixiviants similar to those used at other Wyoming ISR operations including PRI’s Highland facility. Metallurgical testing concluded that an average uranium recovery of 76.5% could be achieved with a neutral alkaline lixiviant (pH 7.4 s.u., 150 psi O₂, 0.5 g/l HCO₃). While the uranium: vanadium ratio of the mineralization at the Charlie project area is reported to be 1.41:1, only trace amounts of vanadium and other metals were detected in the leach solutions.
Christensen Ranch/ Irigaray	Both the Christensen Ranch and Irigaray project areas have had extensive ISR uranium production. Christensen Ranch produced some 3.7 million pounds U₃O₈ from 1989 until 2000 and approximately 6.5-million lbs in total. Irigaray produced some 0.74 million pounds U₃O₈ from 1978 until 2000. There is an existing satellite IX plant at Christensen Ranch and an existing CPP at Irigaray.
Clarkson Hill	No recent mineral processing or metallurgical testing has been conducted on material from the Clarkson Hill project area or in-situ.
Jab/West Jab	UCC completed metallurgical testing of core samples from the Jab project area in 1981 to develop an acid leach using an on-site heap leach. Bench scale tests concluded that 95% recovery could be achieved using 35 lbs of H₂SO₄ per ton of mineralized material as a lixiviant with 4 lbs per ton of mineralized material NaClO₃ as an oxidant. The study recommended using 85% recovery and 45 lbs per ton H₂SO₄ for feasibility purposes. Alkaline lixiviants commonly used in ISR were not tested. Hydrological studies completed in 1984 indicate that, except for the RD mineralized area, the geohydrological setting of the Jab/West Jab project area is suitable for ISR (BRS, 2019b).
Ludeman	No recent mineral processing or metallurgical testing has been conducted on material from the Ludeman project area or in-situ; however, Chapter 9.1 describes two successful pilot plant studies that were conducted by previous owners.
Moore Ranch	In 2008, Uranium One contracted with Energy Laboratories of Casper, Wyoming to perform agitation leach tests on cores from the Moore Ranch project area. The tests were performed on samples from two core holes using sodium bicarbonate (2 g/L NaHCO₃) as the carbonate complexing agent source and hydrogen peroxide (0.5 g/L H₂O₂) as the uranium oxidizing agent. The tests were conducted at ambient pressure. Uranium recoveries from the core samples were 82.1% and 87.6%, averaging 84.8% (WWC, 2019a).
Nine Mile	No recent mineral processing or metallurgical testing has been conducted on material from the Nine Mile project area or in-situ; however, Chapter 9.1 describes a successful pilot ISR and leachability study that was conducted by RME and the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
Red Rim	No recent mineral processing or metallurgical testing has been conducted on material from the project area or in-situ.
Reno Creek	The mineral processing and metallurgical testing completed at the Reno Creek project area is described in detail in the Reno Creek TRS, which was current as of December 31, 2021 (WWC, 2022).

QP Opinion on Data Adequacy

The QP considers the metallurgical and physical test work and results to date to be adequate to support general process design and selection. Pump testing and core analysis demonstrate that the aquifers have sufficient porosity, permeability and transmissivity to support ISR operations, in the project areas where these data have been collected. Equilibrium testing demonstrates that, in general, positive equilibrium exists which indicates that uranium is present where gamma data suggest it is present and at the grade indicated by the probe data. Laboratory leach testing demonstrates that the uranium can be solubilized using a carbonate and oxygen based lixiviant where these data have been collected.

MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

11.1

Mineral Resource Assumptions and Parameters Applied to Each Project Area

The following key assumptions were used for resource estimates, unless otherwise noted:

●

Resources are located in permeable and porous sandstones; and

●

Resources are located below the water table.

The primary method for estimating Project mineral resources is the GT contour method. The GT contour method is one of the most widely used and dependable methods to estimate resources in uranium roll-front deposits. The basis of the GT contour method is the GT (grade x mineralized thickness) values, which are determined for each drill hole using radiometric log results and a suitable GT cutoff below which the GT value is considered to be zero. The GT values are then plotted on a drill hole map and GT contours are drawn accordingly using roll-front data derived from cuttings and the nature of the gamma anomalies. The resources are calculated from the area within the GT contour boundaries considering the disequilibrium factor and the ore zone density.

The Delaunay Triangulation Method was used to estimate resources at the Reno Creek project area and is described in detail in the Reno Creek TRS (WWC, 2022). At the Charlie, Nine Mile and Red Rim project areas, inferred mineral resources were estimated by projecting along an identified redox boundary or mineral trend. Mineral resources for a small portion of the Red Rim project area were estimated using a polygonal method, where GT values are applied across a defined localized polygonal area based on the distance to the nearest drill hole.

The resource estimate methods, general parameters and mineralized cutoffs used at the project areas are summarized in Table 11-1.

11.1.1

Reasonable Prospects of Economic Extraction

Based on the depths of mineralization, average grade, thickness and GT, it is the QP’s opinion that the mineral resources of the project areas can be recoverable by ISR methods using a long-term uranium price of $40/lb. The cutoffs were determined separately for each project area with the unique aspects of each project area taken into consideration.

Uranium does not trade on the open market, and many of the private sales contracts are not publicly disclosed. UEC used $40/lb as the forecast uranium price for the Project. This is based on: 1) the long-term contract price at the end of February 2022, which was $43.88/lb from Cameco’s combination of Ux Consulting (UxC) and Trade Tech reports (Cameco, 2022), 2) the spot price at the end of February 2022 ($48.75/lb.), 3) UxC’s price forecast, and 4) UEC’s understanding of market expectations. Table 11-2 contains the UxC uranium price forecast as of Q4 of 2021 (UxC, 2021).

Notes:

Cutoff parameters are discrete; therefore, the GT cutoff is not necessarily the product of cutoff grade and cutoff thickness.

Mineral resources at Nine Mile that were estimated using a GT contour method were previously classified as indicated but have been reclassified as inferred due to increased risk regarding surface access.

Inferred resources were projected along principal redox fronts with width, thickness and grade projected from the nearest data points.

Where bracketed by drill data.

A small area was calculated based on polygonal methods, where the polygon was limited by the property line or one-half the distance to adjacent holes with low grade mineralization.

Where not bracketed fully by drill data.

Some inferred mineralization was projected to extend along a defined trend.

Table 11-2:

UxC Q4 2021 Uranium Price Forecast ($/lb U₃O₈)

UxC Market Outlook Q4 2021	2021	2022	2023	2024	2025
UxC Low Price Midpoint	$36.00	$46.37	$48.11	$52.13	$56.47
UxC Mid Price Midpoint	$36.00	$40.02	$41.33	$42.59	$43.02
UxC High Price Midpoint	$36.00	$43.18	$44.14	$46.71	$48.39

In the opinion of the QP, $40/lb is a conservative forecast price for the following reasons:

●

First, at the issuance date, both the long-term price and spot price are greater than $40/lb.

●

Second, new physical uranium investment vehicles were created in 2021 such as the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (Sprott, 2021) and the physical uranium fund backed by Kazatomprom, the National Bank of Kazakhstan and Genchi Global Ltd. (Yue Li, 2021), which effectively remove uranium supply from the market.

●

Third, the increasing demand for carbon-free energy and global plans to construct new nuclear reactors (Murtaugh and Chia, 2021) will increase demand for uranium.

●

Finally, there has already been a steady increase in the uranium price for the last 3 years, with a sharp rise to greater than $40/lb in the second half of 2021 due in part to increased demand from the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust. Due to recent volatility in the uranium market, the QP believes that a conservative forecast price is justified.

For the above reasons, the $40/lb price is considered reasonable by the QP for use in cutoff determination and to assess reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.

11.1.2

Confidence Classification of Mineral Resource Estimates

Measured, indicated and inferred resources at the project areas are classified based on the density of the drill hole data. Higher drill hole densities allow more confidence in the shape and size of the interpreted mineral horizons. The specific criteria for classifying resources as measured, indicated or inferred vary by project area depending on the methodology used. Table 11-3 details the resource classification criteria used in the resource estimates in each of the project areas.

There are numerous reasons that mineralization was interpreted as measured resources within the project areas:

●

First, the drill hole spacing used to classify the measured resource is generally less than or equal to the 100 ft well spacing in a typical production pattern, which enables a detailed wellfield design to be completed.

●

Second, as shown on the geologic cross sections (Figures 6-3a, 6-3b, 6-5a, 6-6a and 6‑8a), the subsurface geology within the project areas is very well characterized with aquifers that correlate, consistent host sandstone intervals and reliable aquitards across the resource areas.

11-3

September 2022

Table 11-3:

Resource Classification Criteria by Project Area

Project Area	Distance Between Drill Hole Locations for Resource Classifications (ft)
Project Area	Measured	Indicated	Inferred

Barge	-	50 – 100	-
Charlie	-	Up to 400¹	N/A²
Christensen Ranch	0 - 100	100 – 300	300 – 500
Clarkson Hill	-	-	50 - 100³
Irigaray	0 - 100	100 – 300	300 – 500
Jab/West Jab	50 – 100	50 – 100	-
Ludeman	0 – 70	70 – 200	200 – 400
Moore Ranch	0 – 70	70 – 200	200 – 400
Nine Mile	-	-	50-100
Red Rim	-	N/A⁴	N/A²
Reno Creek	0 – 50	50 – 250	250 – 500

Notes:

Indicated mineral resources were calculated along redox fronts. The maximum width projected was 50 ft, and the maximum projection along the redox front between drill holes was 200 ft.

Inferred mineral resources were estimated for these areas where the location of the redox front or mineral trend could be reasonably interpreted based on drill data, without using specific drill hole spacing.

Mineralization in drill holes with 50-100 ft spacing was classified as inferred mineral resources due to the lack of recent drilling to verify the pre-2008 drill data.

Indicated mineral resources were calculated along defined trends, where drill data bracketed the mineral trend, without using specific drill hole spacing.

●

Third, mineralization occurs along the redox interface and the oxidized sands have different coloration than the reduced sands. These color variations are visible in drill cuttings and are used to map the redox interface and to guide drilling and wellfield design.

●

Finally, historical production has occurred both commercially and through research and development facilities at the Christensen Ranch, Irigaray, Ludeman and Reno Creek project areas. Similarly, commercial production at the Smith Highland Mine is just south of Allemand-Ross and Barge, and commercial production has been undertaken at the Lost Creek ISR Project, which is also in the Battle Spring Formation just south of the Jab/West Jab project area.

This combination of drill hole spacing, well known subsurface geology, well-understood deposit model, successful production and the variety of data collected lead the QP to conclude that the mineralization in areas with drill hole spacing tabulated above fit the definition for measured resources.

11.3

Uncertainties (Factors) That May Affect the Mineral Resource Estimate

Factors that may affect the mineral resource estimate include:

●

Assumptions as to forecasted uranium price;

●

Changes to the assumptions used to generate the GT cutoff;

●

Changes to future commodity demand;

●

Variance in the grade and continuity of mineralization from what was interpreted by drilling and estimation techniques;

●

Density assignments; and

●

Changes to the continued ability to access the site, retain mineral and surface rights titles, maintain environment and other regulatory permits and maintain the social license to operate.

Mineral resource estimation is based on data interpretation and uses a limited number of discrete samples to characterize a larger area. These methods have inherent uncertainty and risk. Three elements of risk are identified for the Project.

●

Grade interpretation methods: interpreted to be low to moderate risk. Automated grade estimates depend on many factors, and interpretation methods assume continuity between samples. A risk exists that a grade estimate at any three-dimensional location in a deposit will differ from the actual grade at that location when it is mined;

●

Geological definition: interpreted to be a moderate risk. The geological roll-front interpretation by the UEC geologists was checked using several automated techniques. The host units are relatively flat lying, but there is a possibility of miscorrelation of a horizon when multiple closely spaced intercepts are present. A few uncertain roll-front interpretations were noted. Some of the interpretations were revised, but additional work is needed to ensure a remaining small percentage of interpretations are verified; and

●

Continuity: interpreted to be low risk. The QP reviewed multiple maps, drilling records and prior work at the Project that demonstrate and confirm the continuity of the roll-fronts within the Project.

Mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability, but they have technical and economic constraints applied to them to establish reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The geological evidence supporting indicated mineral resources is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing, and is sufficient to reasonably assume geological and grade continuity. The measured and indicated mineral resources are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of technical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and government factors to support mine planning and economic evaluation of the economic viability of the Project.

The inferred mineral resources are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling; however, the information is sufficient to imply, but not verify, geological grade and continuity. The QP expects that the majority of the inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with additional drilling.

11-9

September 2022

11.4

QP Opinion on the Mineral Resource Estimate

In the opinion of the QP, because the Project contains multiple project areas in different geologic settings and stages of development, it is virtually impossible to fully resolve all issues relating to relevant technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospect of economic extraction. However, the work undertaken on the Project to date, both through historical in-situ and recent laboratory testing, demonstrates that uranium can be extracted using common industry methods and standard leaching technology. Further, through work conducted in support of receiving regulatory authorization, UEC has demonstrated that the host sandstones at several project areas have the hydraulic properties required for in-situ extraction with adequate confinement by overlying and underlying intervals. Finally, the host sandstones of the Wasatch and Fort Union formations have been mined in the PRB since the 1970s using ISR technology, with many million lbs extracted under similar conditions to those of the project areas.

ADJACENT PROPERTIES

The Allemand-Ross, Barge, Charlie, Christensen Ranch, Irigaray, Ludeman, Moore Ranch, Nine Mile and Reno Creek project areas are located in the PRB of northeast Wyoming. The projects lie in the center of one of the most prolific uranium producing regions for ISR in Wyoming. The region is home to three producing ISR operations: Cameco’s Smith Ranch/Highland Project; Energy Fuels Inc.’s Nichols Ranch Project; and Strata Energy’s Ross Project.

The Jab/West Jab and Red Rim project areas are located in the GGRB of southwest Wyoming. Two significant uranium projects that are near Jab/West Jab include Ur-Energy Inc.’s Lost Creek Uranium Project and Rio Tinto’s Sweetwater Uranium Mill.

The Clarkson Hill project area is located in the WRB of central Wyoming. The Gas Hills Uranium District is located approximately 40 miles to the west of the Clarkson Hill project area. Although it is not in the WRB, Ur-Energy’s permitted but unconstructed Shirley Basin ISR Project is located 30 miles to the southeast of the Clarkson Hill project area.

Table 20-1 presents the status of significant uranium ISR projects in the PRB and GGRB.

INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS

This independent TRS for the Project has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines set forth in S-K 1300. The objective of this IA is to disclose the mineral resources at the Project.

22.1

Conclusions

Based on the density of drilling, continuity of geology and mineralization, testing and data verification, the mineral resource estimates meet the criteria for measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources as shown in Tables 11-4 and 11-5.

Assumptions regarding uranium prices, mining costs and metallurgical recoveries are forward-looking, and the actual prices, costs and performance results may be significantly different. The QP is not aware of any relevant factors which would materially affect the mineral resource estimates. Additionally, the QP is not aware of any environmental, regulatory, land tenure or political factors that will materially affect the Project as a whole from moving forward to mineral resource recovery operations.

The QP has weighed the potential benefits and risks presented in this TRS and has found the Project to be potentially viable and meriting further evaluation and development.

22.2

Risks and Opportunities

This TRS is based on the assumptions and information presented herein. The QP can provide no assurance that recovery of the resources presented herein will be achieved. Bench-scale tests have been performed on various core samples from the Project. The most significant potential risks to recovering the resources presented in this TRS will be associated with the success of the wellfield operation and recovery of uranium from the targeted host sands. The amount of uranium ultimately recovered from the Project is subject to in-situ wellfield recovery processes that can be impacted by variable geochemical and hydrogeological conditions.

UEC has not completed a Pre-feasibility nor a Feasibility study to apply detailed capital and operational expenditures to the Project. Since these studies have not been completed for the Project, there has not been a formal demonstration of economic and technical capability. Therefore, since mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic value, there is uncertainty in the Project achieving acceptable levels of mineral resource production with a positive economic outcome. Nevertheless, it is the QP’s opinion that the Project risks are low since UEC has permitted the Project to the point at which construction and operations can commence within specific project areas.

In addition, the Project is located in a state where ISR projects have been and are operated successfully. The ISR mining method has been proven effective at the Christensen Ranch and Irigaray project areas and has been tested to various degrees with leachability or pilot studies at seven other project areas.

The Project is located in sparsely populated areas, with the exception of the Nine Mile project area. The basic infrastructure necessary to support an ISR mining operation — power, water and transportation — are located within reasonable proximity of the project areas.

22-1

September 2022

There are some inherent risks to the Project similar in nature to mining projects in general and more specifically to uranium mining projects:

●

Market and Contracts – Unlike other commodities, most uranium does not trade on an open market. Contracts are negotiated privately by buyers and sellers. Changes in the price of uranium can have a significant impact on the outcome of the Project.

●

Uranium Recovery and Processing – This TRS is based on the assumptions and information presented herein. The QP can provide no assurance that recovery of the resources presented herein will be achieved. Bench-scale tests have been performed on various core samples from the Project. The most significant potential risks to meeting the production results presented in this TRS will be associated with the success of the wellfield operation and recovery of uranium from the targeted host sands.

●

Wellfield Operations – Reduced hydraulic conductivity in the formation due to chemical precipitation during production, lower natural hydraulic conductivities than estimated, high flare and/or recovery of significant amounts of groundwater, the need for additional injection wells to increase uranium recovery rates, variability in the uranium concentration in the host sands and discontinuity of the mineralized zone confining layers are all potential issues that could occur. These conditions could limit recovery of the mineral resources delineated across the Project. The risks associated with these potential issues have been minimized to the greatest extent possible by delineation and hydraulic studies of the sites.

●

Permitting - All or portions of five project areas are permitted, but the remaining seven project areas need to be permitted. Specific risks associated with permitting vary by project area, as discussed in Chapters 3.2 and 3.3.

●

Social and Political - As with any uranium project in the USA, there will undoubtedly be some social/political/environmental opposition to development of the Project. The Project sites are relatively remote. As such, there are very few people that could be directly impacted by the Project. Wyoming is known to be friendly to mining and has a well-established, robust regulatory framework. The Project has strong local support, including from nearby agriculture operations. While ever present with permitting projects, social, political or environmental opposition to the Project is not likely to be a major risk.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The QP considers the scale and quality of the mineral resources determined by this TRS to indicate favorable conditions for future extraction from the Project.

The QP recommends that the mineral resources in this TRS be used for development of a Preliminary Feasibility Study. Estimated cost based on UEC hiring a third-party engineering firm is $120,000. Additionally, UEC should advance the baseline studies necessary to effectuate regulatory authorizations required to mine at the unpermitted project areas as the resources from these project areas become necessary to provide material to the Irigaray CPP. Estimated costs based on UEC hiring a third-party engineering firm is $400,000 per property. Finally, the QP recommends continuing to maintain federal lode claims, state and private mineral leases along with surface use agreements to accommodate future oil and gas drilling and Project development.
