UEC, the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its third
uranium sale. A total of 150,000 pounds of U3O8 were sold at $50 per pound for gross proceeds of $7.52 million,
bringing total sales for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 to 270,000
pounds. With this latest sale, the Company will end Fiscal 2012 with
total revenue generated from uranium sales of $13.76 million.
Amir Adnani, CEO and President, stated: "We are pleased to complete the
third uranium sale for this fiscal year. This transaction increases
cash flow from operations and further strengthens the Company's balance
