Russia's attack on Ukraine - likely long-term impact
Russia supplies about 20% of US demand; globally, 43% enrichment and 38% conversion capacity
Kazakhstan provides ~46% of primary global supply; Russian influence and sulfuric acid shortage could impact supply. Kazakh legislation to repatriate uranium mines is pending
Russian and Chinese ownership/purchasing of Kazakh uranium is growing quickly
Primary production from Africa is largely owned by China
Russia has growing influence over uranium production in Namibia
Coup and continued unrest in Niger puts 4% of global supply at risk

Recent Legislation
• US Uranium Reserve, $75M, DOE issued contracts in December 2022 including the purchase of 100k pounds from Ur-Energy at $64.47/pound
• Civil Nuclear Credit Program, $6B to extend life of reactors
• Inflation Reduction Act includes several significant measures supporting nuclear energy - sustaining existing 93 reactors in US for years to come
Growing Government Support
• H.R. 1042 passed by House and Senate unanimously and signed into law by President Biden to ban the import of Russian Low Enriched Uranium, with limited exceptions
• Strong support from Senators Manchin (D) and Barrasso (R) and Congressman Latta (R)
• Consolidated Budget allocated $2.7B to carry out the Nuclear Fuel Security Act which is designed to enhance the domestic fuel cycle; especially enrichment; DOE has awarded bids to four enrichers for HALEU production; Utilization of domestic uranium is preferred
~35,000 acres Six project areas
• 11 Years Production: ~90% recovery of under pattern resources through 2023
• Royalty burden averages <1% throughout the six-projects
• Resources can all be pipelined into the existing Lost Creek plant
• Opportunity to grow the resource through exploration (lateral and at depth in the KM, L, M and N Horizons)
