Item 7.01         Regulation FD Disclosure

On February 3, 2022, Uranium Energy Corp. (the “Company”) issued a news release to announce that on January 31^st, 2022, the Company repaid the remaining $10 million balance of its secured credit facility and is now completely debt free.

As of February 2, 2022, the Company holds approximately $125 million of cash and liquid assets and has no debt.

Amir Adnani, President and CEO stated: “Over the last twelve months we’ve executed on a strategy to grow UEC’s resources and production capacity, while improving our financial flexibility. These goals were accomplished through the accretive acquisition of Uranium One, the establishment of one of the largest physical portfolios of U.S. domiciled uranium, and the strengthening of the balance sheet, including the milestone to become debt free. Our expanded U.S. In-Situ-Recovery (“ISR”) production profile of 6.5M pounds per year, in the stable jurisdictions of Texas and Wyoming, is underpinned by seven fully permitted projects and further de-risked by virtue of our two licensed and built processing plants. Our production-ready assets are shielded against inflationary pressures that would otherwise be evident in building new facilities today. In sum, all of these factors, combined with our balance sheet strength, positions UEC as the leading U.S. based uranium company.”

A copy of the news release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
