Here are the key factors: * There's plenty of demand. The U.S. uses 55 million pounds of uranium each year to produce 20% of the country?s electricity. In 2008, just 4 million pounds of uranium were mined here, down a little from prior years. Concurrently, usage can only increase. On March 4, in committee hearings in the Senate, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the Energy Department is ?moving as fast as we can? to provide loan guarantees for the construction of additional nuclear reactors in the U.S. Globally, regardless of the recession, uranium usage is rising steadily and mining production is FAR behind. This imbalance won't last. The price of uranium is in a viable range today, and is anticipated to rise sharply in coming years. In fact, after bottoming at $40/lb in early April, many analysts believe uranium may rise substantially this year. * UEC received its Draft Mine Permit and Draft Production Area Authorization #1 for in-situ recovery (ISR) of uranium at its Goliad Project in South Texas in June 2008 and May 2009, respectively. This is the first Draft Mine Permit and the first Draft PAA to be issued in over 10 years to a publicly listed company in the U.S. * Several uranium analysts anticipate production at Goliad to start in 2010, next year ? North America?s next producer. * It?s no mystery why UEC has a strong lead in the race for new uranium production: Our technical team has more experience than the others, having designed and initiated production at the last ISR facility to go into production, which is also in South Texas. In total, the company?s technical team has participated in a meaningful way in 35 ISR uranium projects in the U.S. * The Company is well funded to aggressively pursue its key development targets in the months ahead.
