Unlocking Value and Immediate Synergies: Roughrider with the recently acquired UEX projects located in the eastern Athabasca Basin, positions UEC with a critical mass of resources to enhance future production plans. Near to the development-stage Roughrider Project include UEC’s Raven-Horseshoe, Hidden Bay and Christie Lake Projects.

|
●
|
Scaling up in Canada's High-Grade Athabasca Basin: After Cameco and Orano, UEC now controls the largest diversified resource base, hosted in multiple assets, in Canada’s Athabasca Basin.
|
|
●
|
Infrastructure, Nearby Operations and Long-Standing Uranium History: There are over 20 uranium deposits, four current and historically producing mines, and two uranium mills within a 100 km distance from Roughrider, providing excellent infrastructure for future development, including all-weather roads, an all-weather airstrip within seven kms and robust electrical grid access, primarily generated from renewable hydroelectric power sources.(1)

●
|
World-class Roughrider Project in a Premier Uranium Mining Jurisdiction: Development-stage Roughrider Project has a non-current, historic resource of 58 million pounds at an average grade of 4.73% U3O8 situated in the eastern Athabasca Basin of Canada, where 10% of global uranium production was sourced in 2021.
