With the world's population exceeding 7.7 billion people and growing,

the need for reliable, non-intermittent, pollution-free electricity

continues to increase.

This growth and its associated needs are important drivers for the currently

projected long-term increase in nuclear power generation and uranium demand.

Spot Prices Below Production Costs and Hedges Falling Off

2020 Demand Expected = 182M lbs.

2020 Production Expected = 142M lbs., 12M lbs./mo

2020 + 2021 Primary Production is 85M lbs. Below Requirements

Cumulative Gap is 510M lbs. by 2030

54% of Total Monthly Global Production Impacted by COVID19

Supply/demand numbers will be impacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of April 17, mine

shutdowns included Cigar Lake + McLean Mill, Kazatomprom, Rossing, Husab, and Moab Khotsong,

that will reduce supply by about -6.4 M lbs./mo. The impact to reactor demand is not yet clear.

URANIUM DEMAND

Need for New Production – Beyond Existing Mines

▪ Inventory overhang

drawing down

▪ Uranium price too low

to stimulate new

production

▪ Long permitting and

development lead times

to bring on new mines

TradeTech’s “Market Appetite” for New Production

• All assumptions are consistent with TradeTech’s latest proprietary assumptions, August 2019 (i.e. Q2 2019);

• Established Production Base shown is weighted to assimilate the challenge of existing operations remaining

at full capacity over Life-of-Mine.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently said:

"We need to fundamentally review our supply chains and make sure that we know those supply chains and have control over them for moments just like this."

Further, with respect to uranium, he stated that

“We've got to get back our mining, processing, enriching cycle”

Net Smelter Returns

(NSR)

Workman Creek.

Production Royalty

(PR)

▪ Based on metal produced, often at a predetermined fixed price.

exchange for an upfront deposit and ongoing payments for metal delivered, the holder

purchases all or a portion of one or more metals produced from a mine, at a preset price.

▪ URC does not currently hold any streaming interests. However, part of its strategy

includes the potential acquisition of streams on primary uranium and uranium by-product

assets.

▪ Widely used in the global mining sector.
