With Four Drill Rigs Active, Initial 87 Holes of Planned 215-Hole Drilling Program Now Completed and Logged

NYSE Amex Equities Exchange Symbol - UEC

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX, March 15 /CNW/ - Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE-AMEX: UEC, the "Company") is pleased to announce excellent drilling results at the Company's 100%-owned Palangana project located in South Texas. In early February, the Company initiated a 215-hole drilling program on six exploration zones at Palangana with the objective to further define and to expand its previously reported Inferred Resources in these zones. This release reports on the 87 holes that have been completed and logged thus far.

The Palangana project is fully permitted for production. It is a prior-producing in-situ recovery (ISR) project located in the South Texas uranium belt approximately 100 miles south of the Company's fully licensed Hobson processing plant. Concurrent with the drilling campaign, the Company is advancing the engineering and economic studies to bring Palangana to near-term production. The plan is to produce and ship uranium-bearing resins from Palangana to Hobson for further processing into dried U3O8, a final product also known as yellowcake.

The Company recently had an independent CSA NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report prepared that provides for a Measured and Indicated Resource at Palangana of 1,057,000 pounds at an average grade of 0.135% eU3O8 located in two zones, and an additional Inferred Resource of 1,154,000 pounds of eU3O8 at an average grade of 0.176% located in six new exploration zones. Please see the Company's press release dated February 23, 2010. The current drilling program is addressing each of these six exploration zones.

Thus far, of the 87 holes analyzed, 43 holes were in the CC Brine Trend where the results have been very positive including 18.5 feet grading 0.636% and 10.5 feet grading 0.848% cU3O8. The Jemison Fence Trend has had 18 new holes drilled in it including 24.5 feet grading 0.341% cU3O8. The results are expected to add to the resources in both trends. Resource estimates will be updated at the conclusion of the drill program.

Amir Adnani, President and CEO, stated, "The early drilling results from Palangana are exciting and indicate that the uranium resource may increase substantially. In addition, as noted below, initial drilling in the well fields earlier produced by Union Carbide show that a significant amount of uranium remains there as well. We are aggressively pursuing resource expansion on both fronts."

The following table lists the results from 19 drill holes where Prompt Fission Neutron logging ("PFN") shows intercepts with a grade-thickness greater than 1, representing a quarter of the total number of delineation holes drilled to date. Grade-thickness ("GT") is the length of the intercept measured in feet multiplied by the average percentage of U3O8 present. Company engineers estimate that zones with GT greater than 0.3 will be shown to be producible. More than half of the initial 87 exploration holes have intercepts with GT greater than 0.3. A properly calibrated PFN probe provides a radiometric reading that directly approximates the uranium content.

Prior-Producing Well Fields

In conjunction with the ongoing exploration-zone drilling, the Company is also evaluating the former Union Carbide Corp. ("UCC") well fields at Palangana for potentially remaining resources. As part of the initial investigation, a total of 9 exploratory holes have been drilled to date in the historic UCC well fields. The hole locations were designed to test historic well field recovery factors and to evaluate remaining mineralization. As can be seen in the following table, 5 of the 9 holes contain a disequilibrium factor ("DEF") greater than 1. These values should theoretically represent the mineralization that UCC did not recover. The remaining 4 holes have the highest gamma GT values but DEF's less than 1. As can be seen by the PFN GT values of these 4 holes, it is apparent that a significant amount of uranium could still remain in the well fields. This encouraging data is currently under review and further updates will be provided.
