Uranium Energy Corp Advances Radioactive Material License, the Final State Authorization, for the Goliad Project

February 14, 2011

Corpus Christi, TX – February 14, 2011 – Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE AMEX: UEC, the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a response to a request for additional information by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regarding the Company’s Radioactive Material License Application (RMLA) for the Goliad in-situ recovery (ISR) project in South Texas.  The Company’s RMLA is in the final stage of processing, and TCEQ staff commonly request additional information at this stage to complete their review. The Company is looking forward to concluding this final review, and stands ready to provide TCEQ with any additional information or clarification they may need to issue the license.

The Radioactive Material License is the last state-level authorization needed for the Company’s Goliad ISR project. All other state permits and authorizations have been received including:

  • a Class III Injection Well Permit (Mine Permit);
  • two Class I Injection Well Permits (disposal well permits);
  • a Production Area Authorization for its first production area (PA-1);
  • a Permit by Rule (air permit exemption); and
  • a state-approved aquifer exemption, which will be followed by a request from TCEQ to the regional EPA for concurrence.
