The TRS was prepared under S-K 1300 and was filed onJanuary 11, 2023 with theSEC through EDGAR on Form 8-K and is also available on SEDAR as a "Material Document" filed onJanuary 11, 2023 . The TRS was prepared on behalf of the Company by Mr.James Gray ,P.Geo ., ofAdvantage Geoservices Limited , Mr.David Rhys ,P.Geo ., ofPanterra Geoservices Inc. , and Mr.Chris Hamel ,P.Geo ., UEC's Vice President Exploration,Canada .
About Shea Creek
The Shea Creek Project is located in theWestern Athabasca Basin (Figures 1 & 2), approximately 15 km south of Orano's past-producingCluff Lake mine and 50 km north of NexGen's Arrow and Fission Uranium'sTriple R deposits.The Shea Creek deposits were the first new discoveries in the rapidly developingWestern Athabasca uranium district. Shea Creek is a joint venture between UEX (49.0975%) and Orano (50.9025%). Uranium mineralization at Shea Creek is located at just above, and extends well below, the unconformity betweenAthabasca Group Sandstone and the underlying older basement rocks, which occurs at depths between 700 and 800 m. - 2 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Four unconformity-related deposits have been discovered to date on theShea Creek Project : Kianna, Anne, Colette and 58B; and all four deposits remain open for expansion. These deposits occur along a three km stretch of the greater than 30 km long Saskatoon Lake Conductor Trend. Uranium occurs as unconformity-style uranium mineralization with basement ore shoots that can extend more than 200 m below the unconformity surface and up to 100 m above the unconformity. UEC believes there is a very high potential to expand uranium resources in the basement rocks within the existing footprint of Shea Creek. The discovery potential along the remaining 26 km of the Saskatoon Lake Conductor Trend is also considered to be very good given the sparse drilling along the trend. One of the best results along the trend is located only two km south of the Anne deposit, where drillhole SHE-002 intersected 0.34% U3O8 / 0.4 m. Limited follow-up drilling in the SHE-002 area in 2015 encountered a wide zone of indicative hydrothermal clay alteration and anomalous uranium that has been observed proximal to the Shea Creek deposit.
Resource Disclosure
The Shea Creek mineral resource estimate for the four deposits were determined using a cut-off grade of 0.30% U3O8. A total of 2,056,000 tonnes containing 67.57 million pounds of U3O8 at an average grade of 1.491% U3O8 have been estimated in the indicated mineral resource category. A total of 1,254,000 tonnes containing 28.06 million pounds of U3O8 at an average grade of 1.015% U3O8 have been estimated in the inferred mineral resource category. The current mineral resource estimate includes the results from 477 diamond drill holes totalling 402,800 m which were drilled from 1992 to 2012. On average, indicated resource blocks were located within eight m of a drill hole and inferred blocks within 16 m. Mineralized wireframes of the Colette, 58B, Kianna and Anne zones bound perched, unconformity, and basement mineralization was prepared at a 0.05% U3O8 mineralized threshold to constrain the mineral resource estimate at each deposit area. The estimate was completed by ordinary kriging using Gemcom software with block sizes of five by five by five m. The impact of anomalously high-grade samples was controlled through a process of grade capping and as well as interpolation distance restrictions for some zones. The mineral resource estimate primarily utilized uranium geochemical analyses from theSaskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories , inSaskatoon, Saskatchewan , obtained through Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy ("ICP-MS") for all samples with grades lower than 1,000 ppm U3O8 and using Inductively Couple Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy for samples determined by ICP-MS to contain uranium concentrations higher than 1,000 ppm U3O8. Duplicate and independent check analyses were performed on approximately 5% of the mineralized assay database. In cases where geochemical analyses were not available due to incomplete sampling or core recovery issues, downhole gamma probe data were used to calculate equivalent uranium grades obtained using a DHT27-STD gamma probe which collects continuous readings along the length of the drill hole. Probe results were calibrated using an algorithm calculated from comparison of probe results against geochemical analyses in previous holes in the Shea Creek area. - 3 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S-K 1300. 3) Resources are reported as ofOctober 31, 2022 .
4) The point of reference for mineral resources is in-situ at the Project.
5) Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability.
6) UEC attributable resources are calculated based on UEX's 49.0975% equity in
the Project.
Summary capital and operating cost estimates are not included with the TRS since the Company is reporting the results of an initial assessment.
The TRS has been prepared and the technical information in this news release
