Uranium Energy Corp Announces Confirmation Drilling Results and Progress on Permitting of Its Goliad Project in South Texas

March 5, 2007

Highlights include:

1) Highest Grade Thickness Intersection to Date: 35 ft of 0.11% (3.78 GT) at 155 ft depth
2) Favorable Results from B Sand Ore Zone Suggest Resource Expansion

Austin, Texas, USA - Uranium Energy Corp is pleased to announce the results of continued confirmation drilling and progress on mine permitting at its 100% controlled Goliad project in Goliad County, Texas. The Company began confirmation drilling on the Goliad property in May 2006 and is continuing drilling at the present time. The drilling objectives include (1) confirming 5.2 million pounds of historically indicated resources as defined by Moore Energy in the late 1980s, and (2) extending historically identified mineral trends.

Since the last drilling report dated November 9, 2006, the Company has completed 109 confirmation drill holes. Fifty-two were completed in 2006 after November 9, and an additional 57 holes were drilled in January and February. Confirmation drilling in the latter part of 2006 was concentrated on two key mineral leases in the western part of the project area comprising the majority of the 5.2 million pounds delineated by Moore Energy. Ore-grade mineralization is contained in four stratigraphically separate sands in this area. These sands were designated by Moore Energy as the A, B, C, and D Sands. Ore-grade mineralization at Goliad is defined as grade multiplied by thickness, or a Grade Thickness (GT) greater than 0.3. Forty-two of the 109 confirmation holes encountered ore-grade mineralization. Twelve of the ore grade holes were in the A Sand, 20 were in the B Sand, 4 were ore-grade in the C Sand, and 6 holes were ore-grade in the D Sand.

Initial 2007 drilling efforts to date have targeted the B Sand and C Sand ore bodies. Of the 57 holes drilled to date in 2007, 23 have intersected ore-grade mineralization. Favorable results suggest that resources within the B Sand ore body may be expanded. Some selected ore grade intercepts encountered since the last drilling report are provided in the table below. GT values from these holes ranged from 0.49 to 3.78. 

SELECTED ORE GRADE CONFIRMATION HOLES

Samples from three core holes in the A Sand taken during Phase I drilling in 2006 are presently undergoing laboratory analyses to confirm the degree of disequilibrium in the ore body. Specialized downhole logging by Moore Energy in the 1980s indicated positive disequilibrium factors ranging from about 1.4 to 1.7 in the various mineralized sands. Positive values indicate that the mineralized zones are higher grade than standard gamma ray logging indicates.

The Company will continue confirmation drilling through March 2007 with five drilling rigs. Upon completion of the confirmation drilling program, the Company will begin on-trend drilling seeking extensions of Goliad Sand mineralization.

Mine Permitting Progress

Uranium Energy Corp is progressing through the requirements by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a Mine Permit. An essential part of the Mine Permit is to establish the regional baseline, or background, water quality conditions within the area to be mined. As part of the establishment of baseline water quality conditions within the planned permit area, the TCEQ required that fourteen regional water quality wells be installed within the proposed permit area. The purpose of the wells is to assess the pre-mining water quality of the four mineralized sands (A, B, C, and D). At this time six of the fourteen wells have been installed and sampled.

Also included in the establishment of regional baseline water quality conditions is the sampling and analysis of private water wells within a 1-kilometer radius of the permit area. This action has been completed.
