1.

Nature and continuance of operations

 

UEX Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on October 2, 2001. The Company entered into an agreement with Pioneer Metals Corporation (“Pioneer”) and Cameco Corporation (“Cameco”) to establish the Company as a public uranium exploration company. On July 17, 2002, under a plan of arrangement with Pioneer, Pioneer transferred to the Company its uranium exploration properties and all related assets, including the Riou Lake and Black Lake projects. On the same date, Cameco transferred its Hidden Bay uranium exploration property and certain related assets, in exchange for shares of the Company.

 

The Company is currently engaged in the exploration and evaluation of its mineral properties located in the province of Saskatchewan. The principal address is located at 1830-1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3.

 

The Company is exploring and evaluating its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain mineral resources that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral resources, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration programs and development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral properties. The Company performed an evaluation of impairment indicators under IFRS 6 for its mineral properties as at June 30, 2022 and has concluded that there are no indicators of impairment.

 

The Company has sufficient financial resources for exploration, evaluation, and administrative costs for at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The Company will require additional financing from time to time and although it has been successful in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be available on acceptable terms. As at June 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of $6.1 million of which $1.5 million is committed to be spent on qualifying expenditures to satisfy flow-through share requirements, leaving $4.6 million to finance operating and exploration activities through the next twelve months and beyond.

Significant accounting policies

 

 

(a)

Statement of compliance

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared to meet the reporting requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X for purposes of a filing with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the acquisition of UEX Corporation by Uranium Energy Corp. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), except that they do not include comparative financial information related to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 or as at December 31, 2021, and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual 2021 audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) ”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), except that they do not include comparative financial information for the year ended December 31, 2020 as required by IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of UEX Corporation were approved and authorized for issue on November 1, 2022.

2.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

 

(b)

Functional and presentation currency

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Translation gains and losses are recorded in profit or loss.

 

 

(c)

Basis of consolidation

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CoEX Metals Corporation. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control is having power over the entity, rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and the ability to use its power to affect the amount of returns. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

 

 

(d)

Use of estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make accounting estimates and assumptions requiring judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. These estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Actual amounts may differ from such estimates. In preparing these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Company’s financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

 

(e)

Significant accounting policies

 

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

There are no new standards not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Project ownership interest stated in this note reflects only the Company’s direct ownership interest.

 

The Company’s mineral property interests include both 100% owned projects as well as joint operations in which the Company has less than 100% ownership. The joint operations are governed by contractual arrangements but have not been organized into separate legal entities or vehicles.

 

The joint arrangements that the Company is party to in some cases entitle the Company to a right of first refusal on the projects should one of the partners choose to sell their interest. The joint arrangements are governed by a management committee which sets the annual exploration budgets for these projects. Should the Company be unable to, or choose not to, fund its required contributions as outlined in the agreement, there is a risk that the Company’s ownership interest could be diluted. As a result of decisions to fund exploration programs for the joint arrangements, the Company may choose to complete further equity issuances or fund these amounts through the Company’s general working capital.

Horseshoe-Raven Project

 

The Company’s 100% owned Horseshoe-Raven Project includes the Horseshoe and Raven Deposits and is located in the eastern Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

 

 

(iii)

West Bear Project

 

The West Bear Project lands host the West Bear Cobalt-Nickel Deposit and the West Bear Uranium Deposit and are 100% owned by UEX, with the exception of Mineral Lease 5424 which is a joint arrangement between UEX (77.961%), Empresa Nacional Del Uranio S.A. (7.548%), Nordostschweizerische Kraftwerke A.G. (7.548%) and Encana (6.944%).

 

The Umpherville River mineral claims that are included as part of the West Bear Project are subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on 20% of the project for each mineral produced (equivalent to a 0.4% NSR on the total project) with the NSR on uranium capped at $10 million.

 

On March 7, 2018, UEX purchased a single 890 hectare claim from Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) which was incorporated into the West Bear Project. This claim is subject to a 1.5% NSR royalty to Denison which can be purchased anytime for a cash payment of $950,000.

 

 

(iv)

Other Projects

 

UEX acquired Christie West, Key West, Axis Lake and George Lake via staking, the costs of which have been capitalized.

 

The Christie West Project is comprised of two claims adjacent to the Christie Lake Project. An ownership position in these claims was offered to JCU (Canada) Exploration Company Limited (“JCU”), who elected not to participate in these two claims.

 

The Key West Project is comprised of five claims west of, and adjacent to, Cameco’s Key Lake Uranium Operation.

 

The Axis Lake property is located just north of the Riou Lake and Black Lake Projects in the Northern Athabasca Basin.

The George Lake property is located 45 kilometers east of the West Bear Project.

 

The Company holds a 100% interest in the Riou Lake Project located in the northern Athabasca Basin. Original mineral property acquisition costs associated with the Riou Lake Project were written off due to a lack of ongoing exploration activity. UEX continues to maintain several Riou Lake claims in good standing, with nominal re-staking fees for Riou Lake included in mineral property costs. On July 31, 2022, three Riou Lake claims lapsed; these were written off in Q2 2022.

 

Also included in these acquisition costs are nominal staking fees for claims that were incorporated into the Western Athabasca Projects.

Western Athabasca Projects

 

The Western Athabasca Projects located in the western Athabasca Basin consist of eight separate joint operations. The Shea Creek Project is host to the Kianna, Anne, Colette and 58B Deposits.

 

The Anne and Colette deposits are subject to a royalty of US$0.212 per pound of U3O8 sold to a maximum royalty of US$10,000,000.

 

The Company has expensed $65 million on the Western Athabasca Projects since 2004, including $54 million on Shea Creek, which contains significant mineral resources (see Note 17 Exploration and evaluation expenditures). Although acquisition costs associated with the Western Athabasca Projects were previously written off, UEX has no intention to abandon these projects.

 

No programs were proposed by Orano for 2022.

 

 

(vi)

Black Lake Project

 

The Black Lake Project (“Black Lake”), located in the northern Athabasca Basin, is a joint operation with Orano and ALX Resources Corp (“ALX”), with the Company being the operator of this project.

 

Effective March 6, 2020, the Option Agreement was terminated and replaced with the Black Lake Joint Venture Agreement, thus ALX is no longer eligible to increase its interest in the Black Lake Project to 75% under the provision of the prior Option Agreement.

 

 

(vii)

 Beatty River Project

 

The Beatty River Project is located in the western Athabasca Basin, with Orano as the operator of this project. Although acquisition costs associated with the Beatty River Project were previously written off, UEX has no intention to abandon this project.

 

 

(viii)

 Christie Lake Project

 

UEX is the operator of this project located in the eastern Athabasca Basin. Per the Christie Lake Option Agreement (“Option Agreement”), the Company earned a 60% interest in the Christie Lake Project by making $6.0 million in cash payments and completing $10.0 million in exploration work.

 

UEX completed its exploration program for 2021, in which JCU chose to participate. Per the Joint Venture Agreement, UEX’s and JCU’s interest remained at 65.5% and 34.5%, respectively.

Equity-accounted investee

 

On August 3, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of JCU from Overseas Uranium Resources Development Co., Ltd. for $41.0 million. On August 3, 2021, the Company sold 50% of the JCU shares to Denison for $20.5 million. Prior to the transaction, on August 3, 2021, the Company and Denison entered into a three-month, interest-free, Term Loan for $40.95 million to facilitate the Company’s purchase of 100% of the shares of JCU, $20.5 million of which was retired upon the Company transferring 50% of the JCU shares to Denison. The remaining $20.45 million of the Term Loan was repaid on September 17, 2021.

 

JCU is a private Canadian company engaged in the exploration and development of uranium assets in Canada. It has partnerships and interests in 12 uranium exploration and development projects in the Athabasca Basin and Nunavut, including ownership interests in Denison’s Wheeler River Project (10.0%), Cameco’s Millennium Project (30.1%), Orano’s Kiggavik Project (33.8%), and UEX’s Christie Lake Project (34.5%).

 

The Company’s 50% participation in JCU is a joint venture, therefore the Company accounts for the joint venture on an equity basis.

 

The consideration for the asset acquisition of JCU on August 3, 2021 (100% basis) was allocated to the assets and liabilities as follows:

Balance, June 30, 2022

  $ 200,000  

 

The provision represents the estimated cost of environmental remediation of the Horseshoe-Raven camp, which is expected to be incurred before the end of 2023. Expected environmental remediation includes clean-up of mineralized core and other non-combustible material. The Horseshoe-Raven camp has been consistently utilized in drill programs since 2012 after being purchased from a drilling contractor. Expected remediation will also include the removal and modification of various unused or worn-out equipment, general maintenance of camp infrastructure such as core racks, removal of debris and unused and weathered drilling supplies, and updating some camp plumbing systems.

 

The Company expects to incur approximately $200,000 on remediation before the end of 2023. No discount rate was used in the calculation of the present value of the provision as at June 30, 2022, as the impact of time value of money is negligible.

The aggregate number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance under the RSU Plan on the grant of awards, together with any other securities-based compensation arrangements of the Company in effect, including the Stock Option Plan, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The 1,249,033 RSUs granted and 25,575,000 stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2022 represent 0.22% and 4.60%, respectively, of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares, for a total of 4.82% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares.

Share-based compensation (continued)

 

As at June 30, 2022 the share-based payments reserve values of $4,386,495 on the balance sheet reflect the fair value of outstanding vested share purchase options of $2,870,845 the fair value of outstanding RSUs of $173,335 and the fair value of broker warrants outstanding of $1,342,315. If all options and warrants were exercised, and RSUs vested, the entire balance of the share‑based payments reserve would be transferred to share capital.

 

 

(d)

Flow-through shares

 

The Company has financed a portion of its exploration programs through the use of flow-through share issuances. Income tax deductions relating to these expenditures are claimable by the investors and not by the Company.

 

As at June 30, 2022, the Company had spent $953,415 of the $2,501,500 flow-through funds raised in the December 17, 2021 placement. The Company renounced the income tax benefit of the private placement to its subscribers effective December 31, 2021. The Company incurred $7,634 in Part XII.6 tax on unspent amounts for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, which has been accounted for under financing and interest expense.

 

As at June 30, 2022, the Company had spent all of the $3,780,160 flow-through funds raised in the December 2, 2020 placement. The Company renounced the income tax benefit of the private placement to its subscribers effective December 31, 2020. The Company incurred no Part XII.6 tax on unspent amounts for the year ended December 31, 2021 as a result of Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, which has been accounted for under financing and interest expense. The qualifying expenditures incurred in 2021 will be deemed to have been incurred in January 2021, and since Part XII.6 does not apply to amounts expended in January of the normal look-back year, the amounts expended in the normal look-back year are exempted from Part XII.6 tax. The qualifying expenses to be incurred in 2022 will be deemed to be incurred 12 months earlier for purposes of determining the Part XII.6 tax liability. The Company incurred $584 in Part XII.6 tax relating to this placement.

 

On June 29, 2021, Bill C-30, Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No.1 received Royal Assent. Bill C-30 includes extension of the timeline to incur qualified expenditures by 12 months under the look-back rule for flow-through share agreements that were entered in 2019 and 2020. As a result of the extension, the Company will have until December 31, 2021 (versus December 31, 2020) for the flow-through share agreement entered in 2019 and renounced by December 31, 2019. Similarly, the Company will have until December 31, 2022 (versus December 31, 2021) for the flow-through share agreement entered in 2020 and renounced by December 31, 2020. For Part XII.6 tax, new deeming provisions will apply such that the qualifying expenditures are treated as incurred up to one year earlier than the date they are actually incurred. The provisions will also provide a reduction to the Part XII.6 tax that would otherwise be payable.

Management of capital

 

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration and evaluation programs on its mineral properties. The Company manages its capital structure, consisting of shareholders’ equity, and makes adjustments to it, based on funds available to the Company, in order to support the exploration and evaluation of its mineral properties. Historically, the Company has relied exclusively on the issuance of common shares for its capital requirements. The Company has not changed its approach to capital management during the current period and is not subject to any external capital restrictions.

Management of financial risk

 

The Company operates entirely in Canada and is therefore not subject to any significant foreign currency risk. The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to limited liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk.

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure as outlined in Note 14. Accounts payable and other liabilities are due within the current operating period.

 

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk includes cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable and deposits. The Company reduces its credit risk by maintaining its bank accounts at large national financial institutions. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable and deposits. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments that are redeemable 90 days or less from the original date of acquisition.

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents. The Company reduces this risk by investing its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments that earn interest on a fixed rate basis.

 

All financial instruments measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below, for disclosure purposes. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities:

 

●   Level 1 - Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

 

●   Level 2 - Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

●   Level 3 - Values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, deposits, and accounts payable and other liabilities are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period to maturity of these instruments.

 

Cash and cash equivalents are classified as financial assets at amortized cost and are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost with accrued interest recorded in accounts receivable.

 

The following table summarizes those assets and liabilities carried at fair value:

Contingencies

 

Due to the size, complexity, and nature of the Company’s operations various legal matters are outstanding from time to time. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, based on the information currently available, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

22.

Subsequent Event and Arrangement Agreement

 

On June 13, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive arrangement agreement among UEX, UEC, and UEC 2022 Acquisition Corp, as amended on June 23, 2022, August 5, 2022, and August 15, 2022, pursuant to which the purchaser, a wholly owned subsidiary of UEC agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of UEX in exchange for UEC common shares (the “UEC Arrangement Agreement”). Under the terms of the UEC Arrangement Agreement, each holder of a common share of the Company (a “UEX Share”) would receive 0.090 of one UEC common share in exchange for each UEX Share.

 

The UEC Arrangement Agreement was passed by UEX securityholders in a special meeting held on August 16, 2022, and the Supreme Court of British Columbia approved the UEC Arrangement Agreement on August 18, 2022. The UEC Arrangement Agreement closed on August 19, 2022 and UEX shareholders received 0.090 common shares of UEC for each UEX common share held.
