Uranium Energy Corp Added to the Russell Microcap Index

July 7, 2008

July 7, Austin, Texas – Uranium Energy Corp (AMEX:UEC), a US-based resource company with the objective of near-term uranium production, announces it has been added to the Russell Microcap Index as part of Russell Investment Group’s annual reconstitution of its family of U.S. indexes.

The Russell indexes capture the 4,000 largest domestic stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by market capitalization to create the Russell 3000 Index and the Russell Microcap Index. Uranium Energy Corp’s new membership to the Russell Microcap Index will remain in place for one year until the 4,000 stocks are re-evaluated May 31st of the following year.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. An industry-leading $4.4 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them. These investment tools originated from Russell's multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when the company saw the need for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment managers.  For more information on Russell indexes, go to http://www.russell.com.
