This resource estimate is based on a total of 207,900 feet of drilling in 284 holes. It was generated from drill hole sample radiometric assays and the interpretation of a geologic model which relates to the spatial distribution of uranium in the deposit. Grade estimates are made using ordinary kriging with nominal blocks measuring 50 feet by 50 feet. The inferred resources have been classified relative to their proximity to sample locations and are reported in accordance to the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.

An NI 43-101 compliant technical report detailing this inferred mineral resource estimate will be filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and the Company's website (www.uraniumenergy.com) within 45 days from this news release.

The Slick Rock Project also hosts a vanadium Exploration Target of 9 to 62 million pounds, as noted in the following table:

The exploration target tonnage is based on tonnage estimates for uranium at 0.1% U₃O₈ and 0.3% U₃O₈ cutoff grades. The estimated grade range is the result of reviewing vanadium grades in holes in and around the area of interest and from grades mined historically from the Slick Rock deposit. There are a very limited number of drill holes in which analyses were conducted for vanadium content and, in some of these drill holes, the measured vanadium intervals do not exactly correspond with the uranium intervals in the same hole. Note the values for tonnage, grade, and contained metal in the table are separate ranges of potential. For example, the grade may range over the values from 0.67% V₂O₅ to 1.49% V₂O₅ and the highest grade is not directly associated with the lowest tonnage.

All tonnages, grades, and contained pounds of vanadium should not be construed to reflect a calculated mineral resource (inferred, indicated, or measured). The potential quantities and grades, as stated, are conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient work to date to define a NI 43-101 compliant resource. Furthermore, it is uncertain if additional exploration will result in the discovery of an economic vanadium mineral resource on the Slick Rock Project.

Vanadium is a rare specialty metal that is used to strengthen steel and to make it more resistant to corrosion and abrasion. World production is only approximately 60,000 tonnes annually. A recent price for vanadium pentoxide was $5.75 per pound or $12,650 per tonne.

The Slick Rock Project is located in San Miguel County, southwest Colorado, approximately 23.9 miles north of the town of Dove Creek. The general area is east of the Dolores River in the Slick Rock District of the Uravan mineral belt. All claims are contiguous. The entire claim block (293 mineral lode claims) encompasses an area of approximately 4,858.5 acres or 7.6 square miles.

Surficial to shallow uranium/vanadium mineralization has been known in the Slick Rock area since the early 1900s (then called the McIntyre district). First mined for uranium, then radium, until 1923 numerous companies sporadically operated small-scale mining and processing facilities along the Dolores River. In 1931 a mill was constructed by Shattuck Chemical Co. for the processing of vanadium ore. Beginning in 1944, the area was worked by the Union Mines Development Corp. for uranium ore. The uranium was used in the development and construction of the first atomic bombs.

As of 1971, the last year that the Atomic Energy Commission reported production figures, the Burro mines had produced 404,804 tons of ore at a grade of .25% U₃O₈ yielding 1,992,898 lbs U₃O₈ and 1.5% V₂O₅ yielding 12,149,659 lbs V₂O₅. According to the records of the Colorado Bureau of Mines annual reports, the Burro mines produced an additional 243,825 lbs U₃O₈ at an average grade of .20% and 1,791,798 lbs V₂O₅ at an average grade of 1.4% up until 1983 when depressed uranium prices forced the cessation of mining activities. The total production of the Burro mines was 2,236,723 lbs U₃O₈ and 13,941,457 lbs V₂O₅, summarized below.
