Uranium Energy (NYSE American: UEC) today announced its entry into a definitive agreement with a subsidiary of Rio Tinto plc (“Rio Tinto”). Under the agreement, UEC will acquire 100% of Rio Tinto’s wholly owned Roughrider uranium development project located in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. “With this accretive fully funded acquisition of the Roughrider Project, we’re able to achieve multiple objectives: 1) 100% owned, development-stage assets are rare in Canada’s Athabasca basin, and we’re adding a world-class project to anchor our Canadian high-grade conventional business; 2) unlock value from the recently acquired UEX portfolio in the eastern Athabasca Basin as we now have critical mass to advance our production plans; and 3) accelerate production plans for our Canadian high-grade conventional business given the advanced stage of Roughrider and the first-tier ESG, geotechnical and permitting work completed by Rio Tinto since 2012. We thank Rio Tinto for entrusting UEC with the Roughrider Project and welcome them as our new shareholder.”
