Uranium Energy president and CEO Amir Adnani said: "The acquisition of Reno Creek creates an industry-leading diversified pipeline of low-cost ISR uranium projects when combined with our production-ready South Texas hub-and-spoke operations and exploration/development portfolio in Paraguay.

“The Reno Creek project presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large, fully permitted, construction ready, and strategic low-cost ISR asset located in the United States, a complete set of attributes for any potential UEC acquisition. 

“The Powder River Basin of Wyoming has produced over 85 million pounds U3O8 historically, and is currently home to two of the largest uranium producers in the world: Cameco and Uranium One (Rosatom). We commend Pacific Road for their outstanding work to advance the Reno Creek project over the past seven years, and we welcome them as our newest shareholder."

"The Reno Creek project presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large, fully permitted, construction ready, and strategic low-cost ISR asset located in the United States."

Pacific Road has 97.27% ownership in RCH, while the remaining 2.73% is held by Bayswater Uranium.

Once the transaction is complete, Pacific Road will own 9% of UEC's outstanding shares.
