[{"type":"text","content":" Highlights: Located in South Texas, Burke Hollow's initial Production Area Authorization 1 (\"PAA-1\") is the newest and largest In-Situ Recovery (\"ISR\") wellfield being developed in the United States. Completing installation of the 106 monitor wells for PAA-1 marks a significant milestone achievement towards ISR uranium production at the Burke Hollow project (the \"Project\"). This is a significant development for UEC and an important step in America's nuclear fuel supply chain to provide safe, clean and reliable carbon-free energy. Advancing Burke Hollow towards production is timely as the U.S. looks to reduce its imports of Russian uranium. The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has recently begun the process to acquire U.S. produced uranium for America's strategic Uranium Reserve. NNSA has issued an initial solicitation to purchase up to approximately one million pounds of domestically produced uranium. With the successful installation of the PAA-1 monitor well ring, UEC plans to transition into additional exploration and delineation drilling within the 19,336-acre Project to define additional production areas. UEC's South Texas hub-and-spoke strategy is anchored by its fully licensed Hobson Processing Plant and five ISR projects, including its fully permitted Palangana, Goliad and Burke Hollow projects.

The planned production area is approximately two miles in length and, once complete, will constitute the largest production area ever to be developed in South Texas. Andy Kurrus, VP of Resource Development stated: \"We are pleased to have completed the installation of the Burke Hollow PAA-1 monitor well ring, a critical step towards uranium extraction. We have also defined resources outside of PAA-1 at the Project, including several exploration targets and anomalous areas that have only been lightly explored. We expect this ...
