 URANIUM ENERGY CORP (OTCBB: URME)

** Some information in the Profile below was updated on June 22, 2007 to comply with certain regulatory requirements **

Dear Reader,

We’ve seen it with oil and we’ve seen it with gold. Explosive increases in the prices of natural resources are not uncommon.

And in our continual effort to identify potentially attractive sectors of any small cap sector, we have trained our sites on uranium opportunities. We’ve been fans of yellow cake (uranium) companies for some time with the editors of SmallCap Sentinel and StockUpTicks.com trading uranium articles and research with one another over the last few years.

At last, we’ve identified another uranium play, Uranium Energy Corp. (OTCBB: URME), which may benefit from an enormous event in the uranium market that is causing investors from across the small cap space to join resource investors at the trough.

So, here’s the deal and the primary reason you should put URME on your “watch list.”

The world’s largest yellowcake producer, Cameco, recently announced that its lucrative Cigar Lake mine has been flooded causing many to forecast that the already hot uranium market could become even more volatile. With the underground workings at Cameco’s once promising mine now underwater, the set-back may drive further yet a uranium market that has exploded over the past few years.

(CLICK HERE for a must-read report on this event and its impact on uranium.)

Uranium experts are wondering what this disaster does to an already tight uranium supply. Considering that much of the anticipated product from the Cigar Lake mine was already sold, empty-handed buyers may now be forced into the spot market. This could lead to fireworks in spot pricing. Of course, public companies with uranium based business plans are tightly tethered to these events which explains our enthusiasm in bringing you today’s profile.

    About Uranium Energy Corp.

Uranium Energy Corp., "URME" is a US-based junior resource company with the objective of becoming a near-term ISL uranium producer in the United States. URME is developing its advanced-stage Goliad Project in South Texas, with ISL uranium production projected to begin in 2009. 

URME controls one of the largest historical uranium exploration and development databases in the U.S. Through the use of these databases, URME has acquired advanced uranium properties throughout the southwestern U.S. including Texas, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah.  This region has historically been the most concentrated area for uranium mining in the US. With the use of historical exploration databases, URME has been able to target properties for acquisition that have already been the subject of significant exploration and development by senior energy companies in the past. 

The operational management is comprised of pre-eminent uranium mining and exploration professionals, whose collective experience in the uranium mining industry gives URME the ongoing uranium mine-finding and uranium mine development expertise. 

Uranium Spot Price: US $72.00 as of January 08, 2007

URME's foundation project, located in Goliad County, Texas. Development drilling and ISL mine permitting are ongoing with a view to commencing ISL uranium production in 2009.

ABOUT URANIUM

Uranium is used primarily as an energy source for nuclear fission reactors - a safe, efficient, and emission-free alternative to fossil fuels. The market cycle for uranium had been largely depressed since 1981, but has recently experienced a sharp increase due to macroeconomic factors. 

An estimated supply shortfall of 80 million pounds per year, for several coming years, is forecast by measuring current annual reactor demand and current annual mine production. In addition, new nuclear power plants have been commissioned throughout the world; China, India and Russia alone have permitted the construction of over 75 new reactors. 

In the United States, uranium exploration has become a national initiative. In August 2005, President Bush signed into law the Domenici-Barton Energy Policy Act containing an array of provisions that support nuclear power. This enactment, combined with the growing public recognition that nuclear power plants generate electricity with considerably less greenhouse emission than fossil fuels, places URME in a favorable position for funding and exploring all aspects of uranium development.

ABOUT THE INDUSTRY

As in all mining of metals, there are stages of getting the ore out of the ground. Comparing all the 'players' in the uranium mining business, some are huge companies in full production (generally mining for Gold and Silver as well). The more medium sized companies are generally operating, but usually for less than a year and are considered in a start-up phase of mining. Most of the smaller companies are PLANNING TO DEVELOP OR DEVELOPING their uranium mining operations and this is the category that URME falls into.

But there is a very significant difference...

Peer competitors of URME include Uranerz Energy, UR-Energy, and Energy Metals. Not surprisingly, as with many SmallCap companies, the difference comes down to people and expertise.  URME has the most complete and experienced management and technical team when comes to building and operating ISL uranium mines in the U.S. and globally (see profiles below).  Add that to the fact that URME currently has the lowest market valuation compared to its immediate peers and its potential as a company and as a stock becomes quite clear.

There may be a rapidly growing number of uranium exploration companies, but there are very few approaching production in the U.S. In the case of Energy Metals, its most advanced project, La Palangana in south Texas, has a nearby processing facility, the Hobson plant. This would at first appear to present an advantage. However, the Hobson plant was constructed 27 years ago and was in operation for 14 years, prior to now being inactive for 13 years. With uranium prices vaulting ahead from $7.50/lb to current levels of $70/lb+, industry analysts foresee strong continuous demand pushing prices still higher in the near-term.

    The Uranium Market and URME

America: The Next Uranium Giant

The United States has 104 operating nuclear reactors generating more than 100 million megawatts of electricity each year, or approx. 20% of the country’s energy supply. These plants are using approximately 55 million pounds of U3O8 annually to produce this energy.  The U.S. is by far the largest user of uranium in the world.

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

  • Public for less than a year, URME holds major industry trump card: Management includes the ISL* experts who earlier built 80% of all current U.S. uranium production facilities now in operation!
  • URME is now drilling with four rigs to confirm and expand historic uranium resource at Goliad, a turn-key project in south Texas. Scoping study for early production commences in two months.
  • With 24 properties in six states and with significant exploration databases from seven earlier U3O8 explorers/producers – URME is rapidly expanding its resources so production can ramp up quickly.
  • The industry was last vital in the mid-70s to early-80s – 20 to 30 years ago. This fact directly highlights a major strategic advantage held by Uranium Energy Corp. This company has successfully brought on seven such professionals, headed by two of the biggest hitters in the North American uranium mining industry: Harry Anthony and Doug Norris. In terms of in-situ leaching, or ISL uranium production, there is no stronger engineering team.

    URME and the TEXAS Goliad Project

URME's foundation project is located in Goliad County, Texas.  The first phase of confirmation drilling is scheduled for Spring 2006, and ISL mine permitting is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2006.

Goliad Project has been the subject of extensive historical exploration and delineation by previous owners.  Exploration began in the 1970s.  At the time of Uranium Energy Corp’s acquisition, over 550 exploration holes had been drilled, totaling 250,000 feet.  Most of this drilling activity (>80%) was focused on the ore body, for purposes of resource definition.  The manager of these exploration programs was Clyde Yancey, PGeo, who is now an employee of Uranium Energy Corp. Mr. Yancey has a twenty-five year history with this asset. 

The Goliad uranium deposits and attendant mineralization occur across a wide geographic area within the basal sands of the Pliocene age Goliad Formation.  To date, ore grade mineralization has been developed within four stratigraphically separate sands (the A to D Sands) from 100 feet in depth to 400 feet.
