Uranium Energy Corp Announces a $7.1 Million Financing to Advance the Burke Hollow ISR Project in South Texas

• Funding will support the growth of the Company¹s South Texas exploration projects, primarily the Burke Hollow ISR property and new acquisition opportunities.

Corpus Christi, TX, October 18, 2013 - Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE MKT: UEC, the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into definitive agreements with three institutional investors to purchase an aggregate of up to 3,380,952 Units of the Company at a price of $2.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $7,100,000. Each Unit is comprised of one share of common stock of the Company and 0.55 of one share purchase warrant, each whole warrant exercisable at a price of $2.60 to purchase one share of common stock of the Company for a three year period from the date of issuance. The closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about October 23, 2013, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Amir Adnani, President and CEO, stated: "We are very pleased to secure this capital injection for the Company on attractive terms that will support the growth of our South Texas hub-and-spoke strategy and provide us with greater financial flexibility. As the recently established $20 million credit facility is earmarked for our Palangana and Goliad projects, including working capital, this new funding will enable us to further our efforts at Burke Hollow and other exploration opportunities within hauling distance of our central Hobson processing facility. With the Hobson plant having a physical capacity of two million pounds per year processing, it is key that we advance the permitting and exploration of our projects to maximize the uranium output when higher uranium prices are realized."

The Company is offering and selling the Units pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 17, 2013. The Company anticipates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund exploration and pre-extraction expenditures at the Company’s South Texas projects including the Burke Hollow Project and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

In connection with the Offering, H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent. Dundee Capital Markets Ltd. acted as a financial advisor.

The Units are being offered by the Company pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-176406) previously filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). A prospectus supplement relating to the offering will be filed by the Company with the SEC. Copies of the prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus relating to the Offering may be obtained from the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, by sending an email request to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC at placements@hcwco.com or by contacting the Company at Suite 800N, 500 North Shoreline Boulevard, Corpus Christi, Texas 78401.

This press release does not and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction.

Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this news release and in any document referred to in this news release.

Certain matters discussed in this news release and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of the Company may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Federal securities laws.
