Uranium Energy Corp Provides Update on Permitting for Goliad, Burke Hollow
and Channen Projects in South Texas
Corpus Christi, TX, May 21, 2012 - Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE MKT: UEC, the
'Company' or 'UEC') is pleased to provide an update and progress report
resulting from recent correspondence whereby the regional EPA requested
additional information from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(the 'TCEQ') regarding the Company's aquifer exemption at its Goliad
in-situ recovery ('ISR') uranium project located in Goliad County in South
Texas.
The Company has received all of the required permits to begin construction
at the Goliad ISR project. As announced in previous releases, an aquifer
exemption is required before uranium recovery activities can be initiated.
Aquifer exemptions are issued jointly by the regional EPA and the State
(TCEQ). TCEQ has earlier granted the Goliad project aquifer exemption, and
has filed a request for EPA's concurrence. With the regional EPA's
concurrence, UEC can initiate uranium recovery operations at the site.
In past reviews of aquifer exemptions, the EPA has made requests for
additional information as part of its ordinary review process, and, as
noted in its letter to the TCEQ, has issued more than 30 aquifer exemptions
for in-situ uranium mining in Texas. The Company will continue to work
with the TCEQ and the EPA as the review process moves forward.
Burke Hollow ISR Project in Bee County
The Company is also pleased to report receipt last week of the exploration
permit for the new Burke Hollow project in Bee County. Exploration drilling
will commence here this week. The drilling program will extend and
delineate mineralized zones discovered from historical drilling by a
subsidiary of Total Minerals in 1993, and will also include a statistical
grid covering the entire 17,510-acre property.
Channen ISR Project in Goliad County
By mid-June, UEC also anticipates receipt of the exploration permit for the
Company's newest project in South Texas, the Channen ISR project in Goliad
County, with initial drilling to commence by the end of June. The drill
program will initially consist of a statistical grid covering the entire
10,704-acre property.

construction activities, title disputes or claims limitations on insurance
coverage. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors
that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially
from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other
factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated,
estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will
prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers
