Uranium Energy Corp Commences Production at Burke Hollow, the World’s Newest Operating ISR Uranium Mine

 

 

 

 

 

America’s Largest Greenfield ISR Uranium Project to Enter Production in Over a Decade

 

UEC is Now Operating Two of its Three U.S. Hub-and-Spoke ISR Production Platforms, Anchored by the Largest Uranium Resource Base in the United States

 

Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE: UEC) announces it has received approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and commenced production at its Burke Hollow project, the world’s newest in-situ recovery uranium mine and the first new U.S. ISR operation in over a decade.

 

 

Combined with recent capacity expansion approvals at Christensen Ranch in Wyoming, UEC continues to scale its U.S. production base and is the only U.S. uranium company with two active producing ISR hub-and-spoke platforms.

 

Amir Adnani, President and CEO stated:

 

“The startup of Burke Hollow is a significant achievement for UEC, advancing the project from a grassroots discovery in 2012 to production in 2026. With two ISR operations now producing, and our Ludeman ISR project planned for startup in 2027, we are building a scalable, multi-faceted platform supported by the largest uranium resource base in the United States. Our 100% unhedged, staged production growth strategy positions UEC to meet strengthening market fundamentals and growing U.S. policy support for the domestic nuclear fuel supply chain.”

 

Chris Wright, United States Energy Secretary stated:

 

“UEC’s recent production achievements in Texas and Wyoming highlight the importance of uranium production as the foundation of a secure, domestic nuclear fuel cycle. The Trump Administration remains committed to strengthening this capability, which is essential to American energy dominance and our national security. As we continue rebuilding the full fuel cycle, including key downstream infrastructure, this progress shows we can build it here and lead from here. Congratulations to UEC on this important milestone.”

 

Greg Abbott, Texas Governor stated:

 

“Texas is proud to be home to America’s largest greenfield ISR uranium production project. This Burke Hollow project in South Texas will strengthen America’s domestic nuclear fuel cycle and solidify Texas as a world energy leader. By expanding access to uranium, Texas will further forge its path of being the number one state for producing nuclear energy.”

 

Burke Hollow: Large-Scale ISR Project with Multi-Phase Development Potential

 

Burke Hollow is the largest ISR uranium discovery in the United States in the past decade, with only about half of the ~20,000-acre property explored to date, providing significant long-term development potential.

 

The project hosts multiple mineralized trends and horizons, supporting a phased approach to future resource expansion, and additional wellfield development.

 

Production from Burke Hollow will be processed at the Hobson Central Processing Plant, which is licensed to produce up to 4 million pounds of uranium per year.

 

Craig Wall, Vice President, Environmental, Health & Safety, Texas stated:

 

“After over a decade of exploration, permitting and development, the TCEQ approval reflects the strength of our technical and operational execution. We appreciate the collaboration and professionalism of the TCEQ throughout the process and look forward to continuing to work with them as the project advances. With Burke Hollow now in production, our South Texas team is focused on safely ramping operations and constructing additional wellfields across the project.”
