The experience, knowledge and resources he brings to our Company will be invaluable in directing our ongoing business plan of growing and consolidating the uranium industry in the U.S.”

“I am pleased to accept the Executive Chairman position at UEC and to be working together with Amir Adnani. With this talented management and proven technical team, I will enjoy taking on the opportunity of making UEC the largest uranium producer in the U.S.”, stated Secretary Abraham. “Both the nuclear sector as a whole and this company in particular are on a path of major expansion.
