Uranium Energy Corp (UEC) to Ring NYSE Closing Bell to Celebrate the Transition to Uranium Producer

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ – Uranium Energy Corp’s (NYSE-AMEX: UEC; the “Company”) President and CEO Amir Adnani will be joined by members of the Company’s management team to ring The Closing Bell® at the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, November 19, at 4:00 p.m., eastern time, to celebrate the Company’s start of uranium production in South Texas.

Mr. Adnani stated, “As announced by the Company yesterday, we have commenced uranium production using in-situ recovery (ISR) methods at the Palangana Project in South Texas. Palangana is the first ISR uranium mine to get into production in the U.S. in more than 5 years, and we are very proud of this achievement. The U.S. is graced with very significant uranium resources in the ground, yet currently imports the overwhelming majority of its uranium requirements for fueling its nuclear power plants. So, we are excited to be the first to initiate the process of revitalizing uranium mining here. This is really just the start of the Company’s major plans for expanding resources and production of uranium in the U.S.”

A live webcast of The Closing Bell, beginning at 3:59 p.m., will be available on the homepage of www.nyx.com.
