General Business
We are pre-dominantly engaged in uranium
mining and related activities, including exploration, pre-extraction, extraction and processing, on uranium projects located in
the United States and Paraguay. We utilize in-situ recovery (“ISR”) mining where possible which we believe,
when compared to conventional open pit or underground mining, requires lower capital and operating expenditures with a shorter
lead time to extraction and a reduced impact on the environment. We do not expect, however, to utilize ISR mining for all of our
mineral rights in which case we would expect to rely on conventional open pit and/or underground mining techniques. We have one
uranium mine located in the State of Texas, the Palangana Mine, which utilizes ISR mining and commenced extraction of uranium oxide
(“U3O8”), or yellowcake, in November 2010. We have one uranium processing facility located
in the State of Texas, the Hobson Processing Facility, which processes material from the Palangana Mine into drums of U3O8,
our only sales product and source of revenue, for shipping to a third-party storage and sales facility. Since commencement of uranium
extraction from the Palangana Mine in November 2010 to April 30, 2020, the Hobson Processing Facility has processed 580,100 pounds
of U3O8. At April 30, 2020, we had no uranium supply or “off-take” agreements in place.
We have established the existence of mineralized
materials for certain uranium projects, including for our Palangana Mine. We have not established proven or probable reserves,
as defined by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under Industry Guide 7, through
the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study for any of our uranium projects, including
the Palangana Mine. Furthermore, we have no plans to establish proven or probable reserves for any of our uranium projects for
which we plan on utilizing ISR mining, such as the Palangana Mine. As a result, and despite the fact that we commenced extraction
of mineralized materials at the Palangana Mine in November 2010, we remain in the Exploration Stage as defined under Industry Guide
7, and will continue to remain in the Exploration Stage until such time proven or probable reserves have been established. Since
we commenced the extraction of mineralized materials at the Palangana Mine without having established proven or probable reserves,
any mineralized materials established or extracted from the Palangana Mine should not in any way be associated with having established
or produced from proven or probable reserves.
Our fully-licensed and 100%-owned Hobson
Processing Facility forms the basis for our regional operating strategy in the State of Texas, specifically the South Texas Uranium
Belt where we utilize ISR mining. We utilize a “hub-and-spoke” strategy whereby the Hobson Processing Facility acts
as the central processing site (the “hub”) for our Palangana Mine and future satellite uranium mining activities,
such as our Burke Hollow and Goliad Projects, located within the South Texas Uranium Belt (the “spokes”). The
Hobson Processing Facility has a physical capacity to process uranium-loaded resins up to a total of two million pounds of U3O8
annually and is licensed to process up to one million pounds of U3O8 annually.
Although planned principal operations
have commenced from which significant revenues from sales of uranium concentrates were realized for the fiscal years ended
July 31, 2015 (“Fiscal 2015”), July 31, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”) and July 31, 2012
(“Fiscal 2012”), we have yet to achieve profitability and have had a history of operating losses resulting
in an accumulated deficit balance since inception. No revenue from uranium sales was realized for the fiscal year ended July
31, 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”), or for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2019 (“Fiscal 2019”),
July 31, 2018 (“Fiscal 2018”), July 31, 2017 (“Fiscal 2017”), July 31, 2016
(“Fiscal 2016”) or July 31, 2014 (“Fiscal 2014”). Historically, we have been reliant
primarily on equity financings from the sale of our common stock and, during Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013, on debt financing
in order to fund our operations, and this reliance is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
At Fiscal 2020, we hold certain mineral
rights in various stages in the States of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming, in the Republic of Paraguay and in
Canada, many of which are located in historically successful mining areas and have been the subject of past exploration and pre-extraction
activities by other mining companies. We do not expect, however, to utilize ISR mining for all of our mineral rights in which case
we would expect to rely on conventional open pit and/or underground mining techniques.
Our operating and strategic framework is
based on expanding our uranium extraction activities, which includes advancing certain uranium projects with established mineralized
materials towards uranium extraction, and establishing additional mineralized materials on our existing uranium projects or through
acquisition of additional uranium projects.
During Fiscal 2020, we continued to operate
the Palangana Mine at a reduced pace since implementing our strategic plan in September 2013, to align our operations to a weak
uranium commodity market in a challenging post-Fukushima environment. This strategy has included the deferral of major pre-extraction
expenditures and remaining in a state of operational readiness in anticipation of a recovery in uranium prices.
At April 30, 2020, we had a working capital
of $7.2 million including cash and cash equivalents of $7.4 million.
We filed a Form S-3 shelf registration
statement under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which was
declared effective on March 10, 2017 (the “2017 Shelf”), providing for the public offer and sale of certain
securities of our Company from time to time, at our discretion, of up to an aggregate offering amount of $100 million.
On October 3, 2018, we completed a public
offering of 12,613,049 units at a price of $1.60 per unit for gross proceeds of $20,180,878 (the “October 2018 Offering”).
Each unit was comprised of one share of the Company and one-half of one share purchase warrant, and each whole warrant entitles
its holder to acquire one share at an exercise price of $2.05 per share exercisable immediately upon issuance and expiring 30 months
from the date of issuance. In connection with the October 2018 Offering, we also issued compensation share purchase warrants to
agents as part of share issuance costs to purchase 756,782 shares of our Company exercisable at an exercise price of $2.05 per
share and expiring 30 months from the date of issuance.
As at April 7, 2019, a total of $68.4 million
of the 2017 Shelf was utilized through the registration of our shares of common stock underlying outstanding common share purchase
warrants from previous registered offerings with a remaining available balance of $31.6 million under the 2017 Shelf. On April
8, 2019 we filed an additional Form S-3 shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act, which became
effective upon filing on April 8, 2019, providing for the public offer and sale of certain additional securities of our Company
representing an additional 20%, or $6.3 million, of the then remaining $31.6 million available under the 2017 Shelf, which increased
the remaining amount available under the 2017 Shelf to $37.9 million.
On April 9, 2019, we entered into an
At The Market Offering Agreement (the “Offering Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (as the
“Lead Manager”) and the co-managers set forth on the signature page of the Offering Agreement
(collectively, with the Lead Manager, the “Managers”); under which the Company may, from time to time,
sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $37.9 million through the Managers (collectively,
the “ATM”). Upon delivery of a “Sales Notice” under and subject to the terms and conditions of
the Offering Agreement, the “Designated Manager” of the Managers under the Offering Agreement may sell the
shares by methods deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the
Securities Act, including sales made directly on the NYSE American, the existing trading market
for our common stock, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to the sales
agent as principal, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such
prevailing market prices, and/or in any other method permitted by law. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offering
Agreement, the Managers will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to
sell the shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions, subject to applicable state and federal laws,
rules and regulations, and the rules of the NYSE American. The Company is not obligated to, and the Company cannot provide
any assurances that it will, make any sales of the shares under the Offering Agreement. The Offering Agreement will terminate
upon the earlier of: (i) sale of the shares under the Offering Agreement having an aggregate offering price of $37.9 million;
(ii) the three year anniversary of the date of the Offering Agreement; and (iii) the termination of the Offering Agreement as
permitted therein. The Offering Agreement may be terminated by the Lead Manager or the Company at any time upon 5 days’
notice to the other party, or by the Lead Manager at any time in certain circumstances, including the occurrence of a
material adverse change in the Company. The Company will pay the Designated Manager a commission of 2.25% of the gross
proceeds from the sale of shares, and has agreed to provide the Managers with customary indemnification and contribution
rights.
In connection with the ATM, on April 9,
2019, we filed a prospectus supplement to the 2017 Shelf providing for the public offer and sale of the Company’s shares
having an aggregate offering price of up to $37.9 million through one or more at-the-market offerings pursuant to the ATM. At April
30, 2019, no public offer or sale of the Company’s shares was completed under the ATM. As at July 31, 2019, all $106.3 million
under the 2017 Shelf was utilized through the registration of our shares of common stock and shares of common stock underlying
outstanding common share purchase warrants from previous registered offerings as well as our shares of common stock to be sold
under the ATM.
On February 21, 2020, we filed a Form S-3
shelf registration statement under the Securities Act which was declared effective by the SEC on March 3, 2020 (the “2020
Shelf”) providing for the public offer and sale of certain securities of the Company from time to time, at our discretion,
up to an aggregate offering amount of $100 million. As a result of the 2020 Shelf, our 2017 Shelf was then deemed terminated and,
as consequence, our then ATM terminated unless renewed under the 2020 Shelf.
On March 19, 2020, we entered into an Amending
Agreement to the Offering Agreement with the Managers under which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of its common
stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30 million through the Managers under its ATM through the 2020 Shelf. At July
31, 2020, no public offer or sale of the Company’s shares was completed under the ATM.
As at July 31, 2020, $30 million of the
2020 Shelf was utilized pursuant to the Amending Agreement to the Offering Agreement with the Managers under which the Company
may sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30 million; and therefore, as at July 31, 2020
there was $70 million available under the 2020 Shelf.
Subsequent to July 31, 2020, on
September 23, 2020, we completed a public offering of 12,500,000 units at a price of $1.20 per unit for gross proceeds of
$15,000,000 (the “September 2020 Offering”). Each unit was comprised of one share of the Company and
one-half of one share purchase warrant, and each whole warrant entitles its holder to acquire one share at an exercise price
of $1.80 per share, exercisable immediately upon issuance and expiring 24 months from the date of issuance. In connection
with the September 2020 Offering, we also issued compensation share purchase warrants to agents as part of share issuance
costs to purchase 583,333 shares of our Company, exercisable at an exercise price of $1.80 per share and expiring 24 months
from the date of issuance.
On December 5, 2018, we entered into a
third amended and restated credit agreement (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), whereby we
and our lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) agreed to certain further amendments to our $20 million senior
secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The key terms of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
are summarized as follows:
|
·
|
extension of the maturity date from January 1, 2020 to January 31, 2022;
|
|
·
|
deferral of the prior monthly principal payments until the new maturity date of January 31, 2022;
|
|
·
|
issuance on signing in Fiscal 2019 of third extension fee shares equal to 7% of the principal balance
outstanding or $1,400,000 paid to the Lenders by way of the issuance of 1,180,328 shares of the Company; and
|
|
·
|
payment of anniversary fees to the Lenders on each of November 30, 2019, 2020 and 2021, of 7%,
6.5% and 6%, respectively, of the principal balance then outstanding, if any, payable at the option of the Company in cash or shares
of the Company with a price per share calculated at a 10% discount to the five trading-day volume-weighted average price of the
Company’s shares immediately prior to the applicable date.
|
Under the terms of the Third Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, the Credit Facility remains non-revolving with an amended term from inception of 8.5 years maturing
on January 31, 2022, subject to an interest a rate of 8% per annum, compounded and payable on a monthly basis. An effective interest
rate of 16.67% has been calculated under the assumption that the Company will carry the full principal balance of $20,000,000 to
its contractual maturity on January 31, 2022 without exercising the prepayment feature where we can repay partial or the full amount
of principal without causing any penalties. Therefore, the anniversary fee payments of $1,400,000, $1,300,000 and $1,200,000, which
are calculated on the principal balance, will become due on each of November 30, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Third Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement supersedes, in their entirety, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated and effective
February 9, 2016, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated and effective March 13, 2014 and the Credit Agreement dated and
effective July 30, 2013 with our Lenders. During Fiscal 2020, and pursuant to the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, we issued an aggregate of 1,743,462 shares to our Lenders, with a fair value of $1,400,000, representing 7% of the $20,000,000
principal balance outstanding, as payment of anniversary fees to our Lenders.
During Fiscal 2019, we completed a royalty
purchase agreement (the “Royalty Purchase Agreement”) with Uranium Royalty Corp. (“URC”),
a private entity investing in the uranium sector, in connection with the purchase by URC from our Company of a one percent (1%)
net smelter return royalty for uranium only, on each of our Slick Rock, Workman Creek and Anderson projects. On December 4, 2018,
we closed the Royalty Purchase Agreement and received 12,000,000 common shares of URC (the “Consideration Shares”)
with a fair value of $9,077,842. The fair value of the Consideration Shares, net of transaction costs of $55,787, was allocated
to the respective underlying projects based on their identified mineral resources as follows:

The net consideration allocation amounts
have reduced the carrying value of the Anderson Project by $5,683,895, the Workman Creek Project by $1,082,646 and the Slick Rock
Project by $676,650. The net consideration of $2,255,514 allocated to the Slick Rock Project exceeded its carrying value of $676,650
by $1,578,864, which was recorded as a gain on disposition of asset and included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations
for the nine months ended April 30, 2019. In addition, certain of our officers collectively own an interest in URC and two of our
officers are members of the board of directors of URC. As a consequence, our ability to exercise significant influence over URC’s
operating and financing policies continued to exist during Fiscal 2020.
During Fiscal 2019, we entered into a Securities
Exchange Agreement (the “Securities Exchange Agreement”) with each of Pacific Road Resources Reno Creek Cayco
1 Ltd., Pacific Road Resources Reno Creek Cayco 2 Ltd., Pacific Road Resources Reno Creek Cayco 3 Ltd., Pacific Road Resources
Reno Creek Cayco 4 Ltd. and Reno Creek Unit Trust (together, the “Pacific Road Parties”), whereby the Pacific
Roads Parties exchanged their collective 11,000,000 outstanding common stock purchase warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”)
for an aggregate of 750,000 common shares of the Company (each, a “Share”), with a fair value of $1.33 per Share
(collectively, the “Securities Exchange”). The Warrants, with an exercise price of $2.30 and expiry date of
August 9, 2022, were valued at $0.45 per share using the Barrier Option Pricing Model at the date of issuance on August 9, 2017
in connection with the acquisition of the Reno Creek Project. The difference between the carrying value of the Warrants of $4,950,000
and fair value of the shares of $997,500 was recorded as additional paid in capital and has had no impact on the Company’s
condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
In April 2020, our Canadian subsidiary
received a loan of $29,842 (CAD$40,000) under the CEBA program, which provides financial relief for Canadian small businesses during
the COVID-19 pandemic (the “CEBA Loan”). The CEBA Loan has an initial term date on December 31, 2022 (the “Initial
Term Date”) and may be extended to December 31, 2025. The CEBA Loan is non-revolving, with an interest rate being 0%
per annum prior to the Initial Term Date and 5% per annum thereafter during any extended term.
On April 28, 2020, we entered into a business
loan agreement with Kleberg Bank, N.A., under the Paycheck Protection Program administered by the Small Business Administration
(the “PPP Program” and the “PPP Loan”), which is a part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (“CARES”) enacted by the U.S. Congress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The total
loan amount we qualified for was $277,250, which was received on May 5, 2020. Under the PPP Program the repayment of these loans,
including interest, will be forgiven based on payroll, payroll-related and other allowable costs incurred in the eight-week period
following the funding of the loan pursuant to the following requirements:
|
·
|
that not less than 60% of the loan proceeds be applied to eligible payroll costs;
|
|
·
|
that the remaining 40% of the loan proceeds be applied to any additional payroll costs above 60%,
rent payments on leases dated before February 15, 2020 and/or utility payments under any services agreements dated before February
15, 2020; and
|
|
·
|
to maintain employee compensation levels (subject to specific program requirements).
|
The PPP Program provides for an initial
six-month deferral of payments. The PPP Loan has a two-year maturity ending on April 28, 2022 with an interest rate of 1% per annum.

your investment due to any one of these material risks and uncertainties.
Risks Related to Our Company and Business
Evaluating our future performance
may be difficult since we have a limited financial and operating history, with significant negative cash flow and accumulated deficit
to date. Our long-term success will depend ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and to develop positive
cash flow from our mining activities.
As more fully described under Item 1, Business
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2019, we were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 16, 2003,
and since 2004 we have been predominantly engaged in uranium mining and related activities, including exploration, pre-extraction,
extraction and processing, on projects located in the United States and Paraguay. In November 2010 we commenced uranium extraction
for the first time at the Palangana Mine utilizing ISR and processed those materials at the Hobson Processing Facility into drums
of U3O8, our only sales product and source of revenue. We also hold uranium projects in various stages of
exploration and pre-extraction in the States of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming, in Canada and the Republic of
Paraguay. Since we completed the acquisition of the Alto Paraná Project located in the Republic of Paraguay in July 2017,
we are also involved in mining and related activities, including exploration, pre-extraction, extraction and processing of titanium
minerals.
As more fully described under “Liquidity
and Capital Resources” of Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations
in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended April 30, 2020, we have a history of significant negative cash flow and
net losses, with an accumulated deficit balance since inception of $272.4 million at April 30, 2020. Historically, we have been
reliant primarily on equity financings from the sale of our common stock and on debt financing in order to fund our operations.
Although we generated revenues from sales of U3O8 during Fiscal 2015, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012 of $3.1
million, $9.0 million and $13.8 million, respectively, with no revenues from sales of U3O8 generated during
the nine months ended April 30, 2020, Fiscal 2016 to Fiscal 2019, Fiscal 2014 or for any periods prior to Fiscal 2012, we have
yet to achieve profitability or develop positive cash flow from our operations, and we do not expect to achieve profitability or
develop positive cash flow from operations in the near term. As a result of our limited financial and operating history, including
our significant negative cash flow and net losses to date, it may be difficult to evaluate our future performance.
At April 30, 2020, we had a working capital
of $7.2 million including cash and cash equivalents of $7.4 million. In response to the significant financial market uncertainty
as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented corporate-wide cost-cutting and cash saving measures including the deferral
of capital expenditures to reduce cash outlays. Subsequent to April 30, 2020, we received a PPP Loan of $277,250 under the PPP
Program as part of CARES enacted by the U.S. Congress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. By further curtailing expenditures
on discretionary and non-core activities, and by paying certain management, employees, consultant and service provider fees by
way of the issuance of shares of the Company in lieu of cash, our existing cash resources and cash generated from the sale of the
Company’s liquid assets are expected to provide sufficient funds to carry out our planned operations for 12 months from the
date of this Quarterly Report. As we do not expect to achieve and maintain profitability in the near term our continuation as a
going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate additional financing which we have successfully secured since our
inception, including those from asset divestitures. Our continued operations, including the recoverability of the carrying values
of our assets, are dependent ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow from our operations.
Our reliance on equity and debt financings
is expected to continue for the foreseeable future, and their availability whenever such additional financing is required, will
be dependent on many factors beyond our control including, but not limited to, the market price of uranium, the continuing public
support of nuclear power as a viable source of electrical generation, the volatility in the global financial markets affecting
our stock price and the status of the worldwide economy, any one of which may cause significant challenges in our ability to access
additional financing, including access to the equity and credit markets. We may also be required to seek other forms of financing,
such as asset divestitures or joint venture arrangements, to continue advancing our uranium projects which would depend entirely
on finding a suitable third party willing to enter into such an arrangement, typically involving an assignment of a percentage
interest in the mineral project.
Our long-term success, including the
recoverability of the carrying values of our assets and our ability to acquire additional uranium projects and continue with
exploration and pre-extraction activities and mining activities on our existing uranium projects, will depend ultimately on
our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow from our operations by establishing ore bodies that
contain commercially recoverable uranium and to develop these into profitable mining activities. The economic viability of
our mining activities, including the expected duration and profitability of the Palangana Mine and of any future satellite
ISR mines, such as the Burke Hollow and Goliad Projects, located within the South Texas Uranium Belt, and the Reno Creek
Project located in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming, and our projects in Canada and in the Republic of Paraguay, have many
risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant, prolonged decrease in the market price of
uranium and titanium minerals; (ii) difficulty in marketing and/or selling uranium concentrates; (iii) significantly higher
than expected capital costs to construct the mine and/or processing plant; (iv) significantly higher than expected extraction
costs; (v) significantly lower than expected mineral extraction; (vi) significant delays, reductions or stoppages of uranium
extraction activities; and (vi) the introduction of significantly more stringent regulatory laws and regulations. Our mining
activities may change as a result of any one or more of these risks and uncertainties and there is no assurance that any ore
body that we extract mineralized materials from will result in achieving and maintaining profitability and developing
positive cash flow.
Our operations are capital intensive
and we will require significant additional financing to acquire additional mineral projects and continue with our exploration and
pre-extraction activities on our existing projects.
Our operations are capital intensive and
future capital expenditures are expected to be substantial. We will require significant additional financing to fund our operations,
including acquiring additional projects and continuing with our exploration and pre-extraction activities which include assaying,
drilling, geological and geochemical analysis and mine construction costs. In the absence of such additional financing we would
not be able to fund our operations or continue with our exploration and pre-extraction activities, which may result in delays,
curtailment or abandonment of any one or all of our projects.
If we are unable to service our indebtedness,
we may be faced with accelerated repayments or lose the assets securing our indebtedness. Furthermore, restrictive covenants governing
our indebtedness may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies.
On December 5, 2018, we entered into the
Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with our Lenders under which we had previously drawn down the maximum $20 million in
principal. The Credit Facility requires monthly interest payments calculated at 8% per annum and other periodic fees. Our ability
to continue making these scheduled payments will be dependent on and may change as a result of our financial condition and operating
results. Failure to make any of these scheduled payments will put us in default with the Credit Facility which, if not addressed
or waived, could require accelerated repayment of our indebtedness and/or enforcement by the Lenders against our assets. Enforcement
against our assets would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
Furthermore, our Credit Facility includes
restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to sell our assets or to incur additional indebtedness other
than permitted indebtedness, which may restrict our ability to pursue certain business strategies from time to time. If we do not
comply with these restrictive covenants, we could be in default which, if not addressed or waived, could require accelerated repayment
of our indebtedness and/or enforcement by the Lenders against our assets.
Our uranium extraction and sales
history is limited, with our uranium extraction to date originating from a single uranium mine. Our ability to continue generating
revenue is subject to a number of factors, any one or more of which may adversely affect our financial condition and operating
results.
We have a limited history of uranium extraction
and generating revenue. In November 2010 we commenced uranium extraction at the Palangana Mine, which has been our sole source
of U3O8 sold to generate the revenues during Fiscal 2015, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012 of $3.1 million, $9.0
million and $13.8 million, respectively, with no revenues from sales of U3O8 generated during the nine months
ended April 30, 2020, Fiscal 2016 to Fiscal 2019, Fiscal 2014 or for any periods prior to Fiscal 2012.
During the three and nine months
ended April 30, 2020 we continued to operate the Palangana Mine at a reduced pace since implementing our strategic plan in
September 2013 to align our operations to a weak uranium commodity market in a challenging post-Fukushima environment. This
strategy has included the deferral of major pre-extraction expenditures and remaining in a state of operational readiness in
anticipation of a recovery in uranium prices. Our ability to continue generating revenue from the Palangana Mine is
subject to a number of factors which include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant, prolonged decrease in the market
price of uranium; (ii) difficulty in marketing and/or selling uranium concentrates; (iii) significantly higher than expected
capital costs to construct the mine and/or processing plant; (iv) significantly higher than expected extraction costs; (v)
significantly lower than expected uranium extraction; (vi) significant delays, reductions or stoppages of uranium extraction
activities; and (vii) the introduction of significantly more stringent regulatory laws and regulations. Furthermore,
continued mining activities at the Palangana Mine will eventually deplete the Palangana Mine or cause such activities to
become uneconomical, and if we are unable to directly acquire or develop existing uranium projects, such as our Burke Hollow
and Goliad Projects, into additional uranium mines from which we can commence uranium extraction, it will negatively impact
our ability to generate revenues. Any one or more of these occurrences may adversely affect our financial condition and
operating results.
Exploration and pre-extraction programs
and mining activities are inherently subject to numerous significant risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ significantly
from expectations or anticipated amounts. Furthermore, exploration programs conducted on our projects may not result in the establishment
of ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable uranium.
Exploration and pre-extraction programs
and mining activities are inherently subject to numerous significant risks and uncertainties, with many beyond our control and
including, but not limited to: (i) unanticipated ground and water conditions and adverse claims to water rights; (ii) unusual or
unexpected geological formations; (iii) metallurgical and other processing problems; (iv) the occurrence of unusual weather or
operating conditions and other force majeure events; (v) lower than expected ore grades; (vi) industrial accidents; (vii) delays
in the receipt of or failure to receive necessary government permits; (viii) delays in transportation; (ix) availability of contractors
and labor; (x) government permit restrictions and regulation restrictions; (xi) unavailability of materials and equipment; and
(xii) the failure of equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations. These risks and uncertainties
could result in: (i) delays, reductions or stoppages in our mining activities; (ii) increased capital and/or extraction costs;
(iii) damage to, or destruction of, our mineral projects, extraction facilities or other properties; (iv) personal injuries; (v)
environmental damage; (vi) monetary losses; and (vii) legal claims.
Success in mineral exploration is dependent
on many factors, including, without limitation, the experience and capabilities of a company’s management, the availability
of geological expertise and the availability of sufficient funds to conduct the exploration program. Even if an exploration program
is successful and commercially recoverable material is established, it may take a number of years from the initial phases of drilling
and identification of the mineralization until extraction is possible, during which time the economic feasibility of extraction
may change such that the material ceases to be economically recoverable. Exploration is frequently non-productive due, for example,
to poor exploration results or the inability to establish ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable material, in which case
the project may be abandoned and written-off. Furthermore, we will not be able to benefit from our exploration efforts and recover
the expenditures that we incur on our exploration programs if we do not establish ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable
material and develop these projects into profitable mining activities, and there is no assurance that we will be successful in
doing so for any of our projects.
Whether an ore body contains commercially
recoverable material depends on many factors including, without limitation: (i) the particular attributes, including material changes
to those attributes, of the ore body such as size, grade, recovery rates and proximity to infrastructure; (ii) the market price
of uranium, which may be volatile; and (iii) government regulations and regulatory requirements including, without limitation,
those relating to environmental protection, permitting and land use, taxes, land tenure and transportation.
We have not established proven or
probable reserves through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study for any of our projects,
including the Palangana Mine. Furthermore, we have no plans to establish proven or probable reserves for any of our uranium projects
for which we plan on utilizing ISR mining, such as the Palangana Mine. Since we commenced extraction of mineralized materials from
the Palangana Mine without having established proven or probable reserves, it may result in our mining activities at the Palangana
Mine, and at any future projects for which proven or probable reserves are not established, being inherently riskier than other
mining activities for which proven or probable reserves have been established.
We have established the existence of mineralized
materials for certain projects, including the Palangana Mine. We have not established proven or probable reserves, as defined by
the SEC under Industry Guide 7, through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study for
any of our projects, including the Palangana Mine. Furthermore, we have no plans to establish proven or probable reserves for any
of our projects for which we plan on utilizing ISR mining, such as the Palangana Mine. Since we commenced uranium extraction at
the Palangana Mine without having established proven or probable reserves, there may be greater inherent uncertainty as to whether
or not any mineralized material can be economically extracted as originally planned and anticipated. Any mineralized materials
established or extracted from the Palangana Mine should not in any way be associated with having established or produced from proven
or probable reserves.
Since we are in the Exploration Stage,
pre-production expenditures including those related to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred, the effects of which
may result in our consolidated financial statements not being directly comparable to the financial statements of companies in the
Production Stage.
Despite the fact that we commenced uranium
extraction at the Palangana Mine in November 2010, we remain in the Exploration Stage as defined under Industry Guide 7, and will
continue to remain in the Exploration Stage until such time proven or probable reserves have been established, which may never
occur. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP under which acquisition costs of mineral rights
are initially capitalized as incurred while pre-production expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time we exit the Exploration
Stage. Expenditures relating to exploration activities are expensed as incurred and expenditures relating to pre-extraction
activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that uranium project, after
which subsequent expenditures relating to mine development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred.
We have neither established nor have any
plans to establish proven or probable reserves for our uranium projects for which we plan on utilizing ISR mining, such as the
Palangana Mine. Companies in the Production Stage as defined by the SEC under Industry Guide 7, having established proven and probable
reserves and exited the Exploration Stage, typically capitalize expenditures relating to ongoing development activities, with corresponding
depletion calculated over proven and probable reserves using the units-of-production method and allocated to future reporting periods
to inventory and, as that inventory is sold, to cost of goods sold. As we are in the Exploration Stage it has resulted in us reporting
larger losses than if we had been in the Production Stage due to the expensing, instead of capitalization, of expenditures relating
to ongoing mill and mine pre-extraction activities. Additionally, there would be no corresponding amortization allocated to our
future reporting periods since those costs would have been expensed previously, resulting in both lower inventory costs and cost
of goods sold and results of operations with higher gross profits and lower losses than if we had been in the Production Stage.
Any capitalized costs, such as acquisition costs of mineral rights, are depleted over the estimated extraction life using the straight-line
method. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be directly comparable to the financial statements of companies
in the Production Stage.
Estimated costs of future reclamation
obligations may be significantly exceeded by actual costs incurred in the future. Furthermore, only a portion of the financial
assurance required for the future reclamation obligations has been funded.
We are responsible for certain remediation
and decommissioning activities in the future primarily for our Hobson Processing Facility, Palangana Mine, Reno Creek Project and
Alto Paraná Project and have recorded a liability of $3.7 million on our balance sheet at April 30, 2020, to recognize the
present value of the estimated costs of such reclamation obligations. Should the actual costs to fulfill these future
reclamation obligations materially exceed these estimated costs, it may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating
results, including not having the financial resources required to fulfill such obligations when required to do so.
During Fiscal 2015 we secured $5.6 million
of surety bonds as an alternate source of financial assurance for the estimated costs of the reclamation obligations of our Hobson
Processing Facility and Palangana Mine, of which we have $1.7 million funded and held as restricted cash for collateral purposes
as required by the surety. We may be required at any time to fund the remaining $3.9 million or any portion thereof for a number
of reasons including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the terms of the surety bonds are amended, such as an increase in
collateral requirements; (ii) we are in default with the terms of the surety bonds; (iii) the surety bonds are no longer acceptable
as an alternate source of financial assurance by the regulatory authorities; or (iv) the surety encounters financial difficulties.
Should any one or more of these events occur in the future, we may not have the financial resources to fund the remaining amount
or any portion thereof when required to do so.
We do not insure against all of the
risks we face in our operations.
In general, where coverage is available
and not prohibitively expensive relative to the perceived risk, we will maintain insurance against such risk, subject to exclusions
and limitations. We currently maintain insurance against certain risks including securities and general commercial liability claims
and certain physical assets used in our operations, subject to exclusions and limitations, however, we do not maintain insurance
to cover all of the potential risks and hazards associated with our operations. We may be subject to liability for environmental,
pollution or other hazards associated with our exploration, pre-extraction and extraction activities, which we may not be insured
against, which may exceed the limits of our insurance coverage or which we may elect not to insure against because of high premiums
or other reasons. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that any insurance coverage we currently have will continue to be available
at reasonable premiums or that such insurance will adequately cover any resulting liability.
Acquisitions that we may make from
time to time could have an adverse impact on us.
From time to time we examine
opportunities to acquire additional mining assets and businesses. Any acquisition that we may choose to complete may be of a
significant size, may change the scale of our business and operations, and may expose us to new geographic, political,
operating, financial and geological risks. Our success in our acquisition activities depends on our ability to identify
suitable acquisition candidates, negotiate acceptable terms for any such acquisition, and integrate the acquired operations
successfully with those of our Company. Any acquisitions would be accompanied by risks which could have a material adverse
effect on our business. For example: (i) there may be a significant change in commodity prices after we have committed to
complete the transaction and established the purchase price or exchange ratio; (ii) a material ore body may prove to be below
expectations; (iii) we may have difficulty integrating and assimilating the operations and personnel of any acquired
companies, realizing anticipated synergies and maximizing the financial and strategic position of the combined enterprise,
and maintaining uniform standards, policies and controls across the organization; (iv) the integration of the acquired
business or assets may disrupt our ongoing business and our relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and
contractors; and (v) the acquired business or assets may have unknown liabilities which may be significant. In the event that
we choose to raise debt capital to finance any such acquisition, our leverage will be increased. If we choose to use equity
as consideration for such acquisition, existing shareholders may suffer dilution. Alternatively, we may choose to finance any
such acquisition with our existing resources. There can be no assurance that we would be successful in overcoming these risks
or any other problems encountered in connection with such acquisitions.
The uranium industry is subject to
numerous stringent laws, regulations and standards, including environmental protection laws and regulations. If any changes occur
that would make these laws, regulations and standards more stringent, it may require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated
or cause substantial delays, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Uranium exploration and pre-extraction
programs and mining activities are subject to numerous stringent laws, regulations and standards at the federal, state and local
levels governing permitting, pre-extraction, extraction, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal,
protection and reclamation of the environment, protection of endangered and protected species, mine safety, hazardous substances
and other matters. Our compliance with these requirements requires significant financial and personnel resources.
The laws, regulations, policies or current
administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States or any other applicable
jurisdiction, may change or be applied or interpreted in a manner which may also have a material adverse effect on our operations.
The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency or special interest group,
may also have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Uranium exploration and pre-extraction
programs and mining activities are subject to stringent environmental protection laws and regulations at the federal, state, and
local levels. These laws and regulations include permitting and reclamation requirements, regulate emissions, water storage and
discharges and disposal of hazardous wastes. Uranium mining activities are also subject to laws and regulations which seek to maintain
health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of mining methods. Various permits from governmental and regulatory
bodies are required for mining to commence or continue, and no assurance can be provided that required permits will be received
in a timely manner.
Our compliance costs including the posting
of surety bonds associated with environmental protection laws and regulations and health and safety standards have been significant
to date and are expected to increase in scale and scope as we expand our operations in the future. Furthermore, environmental protection
laws and regulations may become more stringent in the future, and compliance with such changes may require capital outlays in excess
of those anticipated or cause substantial delays, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations.
To the best of our knowledge, our operations
are in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable laws, regulations and standards. If we become subject to liability
for any violations, we may not be able or may elect not to insure against such risk due to high insurance premiums or other reasons.
Where coverage is available and not prohibitively expensive relative to the perceived risk, we will maintain insurance against
such risk, subject to exclusions and limitations. However, we cannot provide any assurance that such insurance will continue to
be available at reasonable premiums or that such insurance will be adequate to cover any resulting liability.
We may not be able to obtain, maintain
or amend rights, authorizations, licenses, permits or consents required for our operations.
Our exploration and mining activities are
dependent upon the grant of appropriate rights, authorizations, licences, permits and consents, as well as continuation and amendment
of these rights, authorizations, licences, permits and consents already granted, which may be granted for a defined period of time,
or may not be granted or may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. There can be no assurance that all necessary rights,
authorizations, licences, permits and consents will be granted to us, or that authorizations, licences, permits and consents already
granted will not be withdrawn or made subject to limitations.
Major nuclear
and global market incidents may have adverse effects on the nuclear and uranium industries.
The nuclear incident
that occurred in Japan in March 2011 had significant and adverse effects on both the nuclear and uranium industries. If another
nuclear incident were to occur, it may have further adverse effects for both industries. Public opinion of nuclear power as a source
of electrical generation may be adversely affected, which may cause governments of certain countries to further increase regulation
for the nuclear industry, reduce or abandon current reliance on nuclear power or reduce or abandon existing plans for nuclear power
expansion. Any one of these occurrences has the potential to reduce current and/or future demand for nuclear power, resulting in
lower demand for uranium and lower market prices for uranium, adversely affecting the operations and prospects of us. Furthermore,
the growth of the nuclear and uranium industries is dependent on continuing and growing public support of nuclear power as a viable
source of electrical generation.
In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted
in a black swan event impacting about 50% of the world’s uranium production and has accelerated the market rebalancing. The
timing for the return of global uranium production to pre-COVID-19 levels is highly uncertain. Recent and significant production
cuts were announced in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, including uranium facilities in Canada, Kazakhstan, and Namibia.
It is unknown at this time exactly how long the shutdowns will last or how much uranium production will ultimately be removed from
the market as a result of these shutdowns. It is the Company’s belief that the recent shutdowns are only going to further
tighten the market. The Company also believes that a large degree of uncertainty exists in the market, primarily due to the size
of mobile uranium inventories, transportation issues, premature reactor shutdowns in the U.S. and the length of time of any uranium
mine, conversion or enrichment shutdowns.
The marketability of uranium concentrates
will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in our inability to receive an adequate return on our
invested capital.
The marketability of uranium concentrates
extracted by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include macroeconomic factors, fluctuations
in the market price of uranium, governmental regulations, land tenure and use, regulations concerning the importing and exporting
of uranium and environmental protection regulations. The future effects of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but any
one or a combination of these factors may result in our inability to receive an adequate return on our invested capital.
The titanium industry is affected
by global economic factors, including risks associated with volatile economic conditions, and the market for many titanium products
is cyclical and volatile, and we may experience depressed market conditions for such products.
Titanium is used in many
"quality of life" products for which demand historically has been linked to global, regional and local GDP and
discretionary spending, which can be negatively impacted by regional and world events or economic conditions. Such events are
likely to cause a decrease in demand for products and, as a result, may have an adverse effect on our results of operations
and financial condition. The timing and extent of any changes to currently prevailing market conditions is uncertain, and
supply and demand may be unbalanced at any time. Uncertain economic conditions and market instability make it particularly
difficult for us to forecast demand trends. As a consequence, we may not be able to accurately predict future economic
conditions or the effect of such conditions on our financial condition or results of operations. We can give no assurances as
to the timing, extent or duration of the current or future economic cycles impacting the industries in which we operate.
Historically, the market for large volume
titanium applications, including coatings, paper and plastics, has experienced alternating periods of tight supply, causing prices
and margins to increase, followed by periods of lower capacity utilization resulting in declining prices and margins. The volatility
this market experiences occurs as a result of significant changes in the demand for products as a consequence of global economic
activity and changes in customers’ requirements. The supply-demand balance is also impacted by capacity additions or reductions
that result in changes of utilization rates. In addition, titanium margins are impacted by significant changes in major input costs
such as energy and feedstock. Demand for titanium depends in part on the housing and construction industries. These industries
are cyclical in nature and have historically been impacted by downturns in the economy. In addition, pricing may affect customer
inventory levels as customers may from time to time accelerate purchases of titanium in advance of anticipated price increases
or defer purchases of titanium in advance of anticipated price decreases. The cyclicality and volatility of the titanium industry
results in significant fluctuations in profits and cash flow from period to period and over the business cycle.
The uranium and titanium industries
are highly competitive and we may not be successful in acquiring additional projects.
The uranium industry is highly competitive,
and our competition includes larger, more established companies with longer operating histories that not only explore for and produce
uranium, but also market uranium and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. Due to their greater financial
and technical resources, we may not be able to acquire additional uranium projects in a competitive bidding process involving such
companies. Additionally, these larger companies have greater resources to continue with their operations during periods of depressed
market conditions.
The titanium industry is concentrated and
highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively with our competitors that have greater financial resources or
those that are vertically integrated, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
The global titanium market is highly competitive,
with the top six producers accounting for approximately 60% of the world’s production capacity. Competition is based on a
number of factors, such as price, product quality and service. Competition is based on a number of factors, such as price, product
quality and service. Among our competitors are companies that are vertically-integrated (those that have their own raw material
resources). Changes in the competitive landscape could make it difficult for us to retain our competitive position in various products
and markets throughout the world. Our competitors with their own raw material resources may have a competitive advantage during
periods of higher raw material prices. In addition, some of the companies with whom we compete may be able to produce products
more economically than we can. Furthermore, some of our competitors have greater financial resources, which may enable them to
invest significant capital into their businesses, including expenditures for research and development.
We hold
mineral rights in foreign jurisdictions which could be subject to additional risks due to political, taxation, economic and cultural
factors.
We hold certain mineral rights located
in the Republic of Paraguay through Piedra Rica Mining S.A., Transandes Paraguay S.A., Trier S.A. and Metalicos Y No Metalicos
S.R.L., which are incorporated in Paraguay. Operations in foreign jurisdictions outside of the United States and Canada, especially
in developing countries, may be subject to additional risks as they may have different political, regulatory, taxation, economic
and cultural environments that may adversely affect the value or continued viability of our rights. These additional risks include,
but are not limited to: (i) changes in governments or senior government officials; (ii) changes to existing laws or policies on
foreign investments, environmental protection, mining and ownership of mineral interests; (iii) renegotiation, cancellation, expropriation
and nationalization of existing permits or contracts; (iv) foreign currency controls and fluctuations; and (v) civil disturbances,
terrorism and war.
In the event of a dispute arising at our
foreign operations in Paraguay, we may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting
foreign persons to the jurisdiction of the courts in the United States or Canada. We may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing
our rights with respect to a government entity or instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity. Any adverse or
arbitrary decision of a foreign court may have a material and adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations.
The title to our mineral property
interests may be challenged.
Although we have taken reasonable measures
to ensure proper title to our interests in mineral properties and other assets, there is no guarantee that the title to any of
such interests will not be challenged. No assurance can be given that we will be able to secure the grant or the renewal of existing
mineral rights and tenures on terms satisfactory to us, or that governments in the jurisdictions in which we operate will not revoke
or significantly alter such rights or tenures or that such rights or tenures will not be challenged or impugned by third parties,
including local governments, aboriginal peoples or other claimants. The Company has had communications and filings with the MOPC,
the mining regulator in Paraguay, whereby the MOPC is taking the position that certain concessions forming part of the Company’s
Yuty and Alto Parana projects are not eligible for extension as to exploration or continuation to exploitation in their current
stages. While the Company remains fully committed to its development path forward in Paraguay, legal counsel has filed certain
proceedings in Paraguay to reverse the MOPC’s position in order to protect the Company’s continuing rights in those
concessions. Our mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected
by, among other things, undetected defects. A successful challenge to the precise area and location of our claims could result
in us being unable to operate on our properties as permitted or being unable to enforce our rights with respect to our properties.
Due to the nature of our business,
we may be subject to legal proceedings which may divert management’s time and attention from our business and result in substantial
damage awards.
Due to the nature of our business, we
may be subject to numerous regulatory investigations, securities claims, civil claims, lawsuits and other proceedings in the
ordinary course of our business including those described under Item 1, Legal Proceedings in our Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the period ended April 30, 2020. The outcome of these lawsuits is uncertain and subject to inherent
uncertainties, and the actual costs to be incurred will depend upon many unknown factors. We may be forced to expend
significant resources in the defense of these suits, and we may not prevail. Defending against these and other lawsuits in
the future may not only require us to incur significant legal fees and expenses, but may become time-consuming for us and
detract from our ability to fully focus our internal resources on our business activities. The results of any legal
proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty due to the uncertainty inherent in litigation, the difficulty of predicting
decisions of regulators, judges and juries and the possibility that decisions may be reversed on appeal. There can be no
assurances that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or operating
results.
We depend on certain key personnel,
and our success will depend on our continued ability to retain and attract such qualified personnel.
Our success is dependent on the efforts,
abilities and continued service of certain senior officers and key employees and consultants. A number of our key employees and
consultants have significant experience in the uranium industry. A loss of service from any one of these individuals may adversely
affect our operations, and we may have difficulty or may not be able to locate and hire a suitable replacement.
Certain directors and officers may
be subject to conflicts of interest.
The majority of our directors and officers
are involved in other business ventures including similar capacities with other private or publicly-traded companies. Such individuals
may have significant responsibilities to these other business ventures, including consulting relationships, which may require significant
amounts of their available time. Conflicts of interest may include decisions on how much time to devote to our business affairs
and what business opportunities should be presented to us. Our Code of Business Conduct for Directors, Officers and Employees provides
for guidance on conflicts of interest.
The laws of the State of Nevada and
our Articles of Incorporation may protect our directors and officers from certain types of lawsuits.
The laws of the State of Nevada provide
that our directors and officers will not be liable to our Company or to our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain
types of conduct as directors and officers. Our Bylaws provide for broad indemnification powers to all persons against all damages
incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. These indemnification provisions may
require us to use our limited assets to defend our directors and officers against claims, and may have the effect of preventing
stockholders from recovering damages against our directors and officers caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances.
Several of our directors and officers
are residents outside of the United States, and it may be difficult for stockholders to enforce within the United States any judgments
obtained against such directors or officers.
Several of our directors and officers are
nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets
are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process on such directors
and officers, or enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against such directors and officers, including judgments
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Consequently,
stockholders may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies against such directors and officers under United States federal
securities laws. In addition, stockholders may not be able to commence an action in a Canadian court predicated upon the civil
liability provisions under United States federal securities laws. The foregoing risks also apply to those experts identified in
this document that are not residents of the United States.
Disclosure controls and procedures
and internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed and operated, are designed to obtain reasonable, and
not absolute, assurance as to its reliability and effectiveness.
Management’s evaluation on the effectiveness
of disclosure controls and procedures is designed to ensure that information required for disclosure in our public filings is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis to our senior management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Management’s report on internal control
over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly authorized, assets are safeguarded
against unauthorized or improper use and transactions are properly recorded and reported. However, any system of controls, no matter
how well designed and operated, is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable, and not absolute, assurance
as to its reliability and effectiveness. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures in the future may
result in our inability to continue meeting our reporting obligations in a timely manner, qualified audit opinions or restatements
of our financial reports, any one of which may affect the market price for our common stock and our ability to access the capital
markets.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Historically, the market price of
our common stock has been and may continue to fluctuate significantly.
On September 28, 2007 our common stock
commenced trading on the NYSE American (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange, the NYSE Amex Equities Exchange and the
NYSE MKT) and prior to that, traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.
The global markets have experienced significant
and increased volatility in the past and have been impacted by the effects of mass sub-prime mortgage defaults and liquidity problems
of the asset-backed commercial paper market, resulting in a number of large financial institutions requiring government bailouts
or filing for bankruptcy. The effects of these past events and any similar events in the future may continue to or further affect
the global markets, which may directly affect the market price of our common stock and our accessibility for additional financing.
Although this volatility may be unrelated to specific company performance, it can have an adverse effect on the market price of
our shares which, historically, has fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future.
In addition to the volatility associated
with general economic trends and market conditions, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly due to the
impact of any one or more events, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) volatility in the uranium market; (ii) occurrence
of a major nuclear incident such as the events in Fukushima in March 2011; (iii) changes in the outlook for the nuclear power and
uranium industries; (iv) failure to meet market expectations on our exploration, pre-extraction or extraction activities, including
abandonment of key uranium projects; (v) sales of a large number of our shares held by certain stockholders including institutions
and insiders; (vi) downward revisions to previous estimates on us by analysts; (vii) removal from market indices; (viii) legal
claims brought forth against us; and (ix) introduction of technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies.
A prolonged decline in the market
price of our common stock could affect our ability to obtain additional financing which would adversely affect our operations.
Historically we have relied on equity financing
and, more recently, on debt financing, as primary sources of financing. A prolonged decline in the market price of our common stock
or a reduction in our accessibility to the global markets may result in our inability to secure additional financing which would
have an adverse effect on our operations.
Additional issuances of our common
stock may result in significant dilution to our existing shareholders and reduce the market value of their investment.
We are authorized to issue 750,000,000
shares of common stock of which 197,376,792 shares were issued and outstanding as of October 26, 2020. Future issuances for financings,
mergers and acquisitions, exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants and for other reasons may result in significant
dilution to and be issued at prices substantially below the price paid for our shares held by our existing stockholders. Significant
dilution would reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power held by our existing stockholders and may result in a decrease
in the market price of our shares.
We filed our 2017 Shelf, which was declared
effective on March 10, 2017, providing for the public offer and sale of certain securities of our Company from time to time, at
our discretion, up to an aggregate offering amount of $100 million.
As at April 7, 2019, a total of $68.4 million
of the 2017 Shelf was utilized through the registration of our shares of common stock underlying outstanding common share purchase
warrants from previous registered offerings with a remaining available balance of $31.6 million under the 2017 Shelf. On April
8, 2019 we filed an additional Form S-3 shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act, which became
effective upon filing on April 8, 2019, providing for the public offer and sale of certain additional securities of our Company
representing an additional 20%, or $6.3 million, of the then remaining $31.6 million available under the 2017 Shelf, which increased
the remaining amount available under the 2017 Shelf to $37.9 million.
In connection with the ATM, on April 9,
2019, we filed a prospectus supplement to the 2017 Shelf providing for the public offer and sale of the Company’s shares
having an aggregate offering price of up to $37.9 million through one or more at-the-market offerings pursuant to the ATM. At April
30, 2020, no public offer or sale of the Company’s shares was completed under the ATM.
As at January 31, 2020, all $106.3 million
under the 2017 Shelf was utilized through the registration of our shares of common stock and shares of common stock underlying
outstanding common share purchase warrants from previous registered offerings as well as our shares of common stock to be sold
under the ATM.
On February 21, 2020, we filed the 2020
Shelf which was declared effective by the SEC on March 3, 2020 and, as a result, our 2017 Shelf was then deemed terminated and,
as consequence, our then ATM terminated unless renewed under the 2020 Shelf. The 2020 Shelf provides for the public offer and sale
of certain securities of the Company from time to time, at our discretion, up to an aggregate offering amount of $100 million.
On March 19, 2020, we entered into an Amending
Agreement to the Offering Agreement with the Managers under which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of its common
stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30 million through the Managers under its ATM through the 2020 Shelf. At April
30, 2020, no public offer or sale of the Company’s shares has been completed under the ATM.
As at July 31, 2020, $30 million of the
2020 Shelf was utilized pursuant to the Amending Agreement to the Offering Agreement with the Managers under which the Company
may sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30 million; and therefore, as at July 31, 2020
there was $70 million available under the 2020 Shelf.
Subsequent to July 31, 2020, on
September 23, 2020, we completed our September 2020 Offering of 12,500,000 units at a price of $1.20 per unit for gross
proceeds of $15,000,000. Each unit was comprised of one share of the Company and one-half of one share purchase warrant, and
each whole warrant entitles its holder to acquire one share at an exercise price of $1.80 per share exercisable immediately
upon issuance and expiring 24 months from the date of issuance. In connection with the September 2020 Offering, we also
issued compensation share purchase warrants to agents as part of share issuance costs to purchase 583,333 shares of our
Company exercisable at an exercise price of $1.80 per share and expiring 24 months from the date of issuance.
We are subject to the Continued Listing
Criteria of the NYSE American and our failure to satisfy these criteria may result in delisting of our common stock.
Our common stock is currently listed on
the NYSE American. In order to maintain this listing, we must maintain certain share prices, financial and share distribution
targets, including maintaining a minimum amount of shareholders’ equity and a minimum number of public shareholders.
In addition to these objective standards, the NYSE American may delist the securities of any issuer: (i) if, in its opinion, the
issuer’s financial condition and/or operating results appear unsatisfactory; (ii) if it appears that the extent of public
distribution or the aggregate market value of the security has become so reduced as to make continued listing on the NYSE American
inadvisable; (iii) if the issuer sells or disposes of principal operating assets or ceases to be an operating company; (iv) if
an issuer fails to comply with the NYSE American’s listing requirements; (v) if an issuer’s common stock sells at what
the NYSE American considers a “low selling price” and the issuer fails to correct this via a reverse split of shares
after notification by the NYSE American; or (vi) if any other event occurs or any condition exists which makes continued listing
on the NYSE American, in its opinion, inadvisable.
If the NYSE American delists our common
stock, investors may face material adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, a lack of trading market for our securities,
reduced liquidity, decreased analyst coverage of our securities and an inability for us to obtain additional financing to fund
our operations.

On June 5, 2020, our Board of Directors
authorized and approved the adoption of the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, under which an aggregate of 25,048,044 of

dated as originally ratified by the Board of Directors on June 6, 2019, as ratified by the shareholders of the Company at the Company’s
annual general meeting held last year on July 31, 2019.
The 2020 Stock Incentive Plan was ratified
by the shareholders of the Company at the Company’s annual general meeting held on July 30, 2020.
The purpose of the 2020 Stock Incentive

The 2020 Stock Incentive Plan is to be

the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan; (ii) the number of shares or amount of other awards to be granted; and (iii) the terms and conditions

may be issued pursuant to the grant of awards under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. 19,048,044 of such 25,048,044 shares are registered
pursuant to prior Form S-8 registration statements filed by the Company.

prospectus, we grant any further awards under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan to any Eligible Participants who are “affiliates”

Notes:
|
(1)
|
Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who,
directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares: (i) voting
power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of such security; and (ii) investment power, which includes the
power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. Certain shares of common stock may be deemed to be beneficially owned
by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition,
shares of common stock are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example,
upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership
of any person, the amount of shares of common stock outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by
such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of
common stock of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power
with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding as of the date hereof. As of October 26, 2020, there
were 197,376,792 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding.

PLAN OF
DISTRIBUTION
2019 Stock Incentive Plan
On June 5, 2020, our Board of Directors
authorized and approved the adoption of the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, under which an aggregate of 25,048,044 of
our shares may be issued. The 2020 Stock Incentive Plan supersedes and replaces the Company’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan,
dated as originally ratified by the Board of Directors on June 6, 2019, as ratified by the shareholders of the Company at the Company’s
annual general meeting held last year on July 31, 2019.
The 2020 Stock Incentive Plan was ratified
by the shareholders of the Company at the Company’s annual general meeting held on July 30, 2020.
The purpose of the 2020 Stock Incentive
Plan is to enhance our long-term stockholder value by offering opportunities to our directors, officers, employees and eligible
consultants to acquire and maintain stock ownership in order to give these persons the opportunity to participate in our growth
and success, and to encourage them to remain in our service.
The 2020 Stock Incentive Plan is to be
administered by our Compensation Committee which shall determine, among other things: (i) the persons to be granted awards under
the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan; (ii) the number of shares or amount of other awards to be granted; and (iii) the terms and conditions
of the awards granted. The Company may issue restricted shares, options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock rights and dividend
equivalent rights, among others, under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. As indicated above, an aggregate of 25,048,044 of our shares
may be issued pursuant to the grant of awards under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. 19,048,044 of such 25,048,044 shares are registered
pursuant to prior Form S-8 registration statements filed by the Company.
An award may not be exercised after the
termination date of the award and may be exercised following the termination of an Eligible Participant’s continuous service
only to the extent provided by the administrator under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. If the administrator under the 2020 Stock
Incentive Plan permits a participant to exercise an award following the termination of continuous service for a specified period,
the award terminates to the extent not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of
the award, whichever occurs first. In the event an Eligible Participant’s service has been terminated for “cause”,
he or she shall immediately forfeit all rights to any of the awards outstanding.
The foregoing summary of the 2020 Stock
Incentive Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan.
Timing of Sales
Subject to the foregoing, the selling stockholders
may offer and sell the shares covered by this prospectus at various times. The selling stockholders will act independently of us
in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.
No Known Agreements to Resell the
Shares
To our knowledge, no selling stockholder
has any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to resell the shares covered by this prospectus.
Offering Price
The sales price offered by the selling
stockholders to the public may be:
|
1.

a price related to such prevailing market price; or
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
such other price as the selling stockholders determine from time to time.
|
The sales price to the public will vary
according to the selling decisions of each selling stockholder and the market for our stock at the time of resale.

in a combination of any of the above methods.
|
The selling stockholders may sell their
shares directly to purchasers or may use brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents to sell their shares. Brokers or dealers engaged
by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions,
discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders, or, if any such broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares,
from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale. The compensation received by brokers or dealers may,
but is not expected to, exceed that which is customary for the types of transactions involved.
Broker-dealers may agree with a selling
stockholder to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent the broker-dealer is unable
to do so acting as agent for a selling stockholder, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill
the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholder.
Broker-dealers who acquire shares as
principal may thereafter resell the shares from time to time in transactions, which may involve block transactions and sales
to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above, in the over-the-counter market or
otherwise at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices then related to the then-current market price
or in negotiated transactions. In connection with resales of the shares, broker-dealers may pay to or receive from the
purchasers of shares commissions as described above.
If our selling stockholders enter into
arrangements with brokers or dealers, as described above, we are obligated to file a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement disclosing such arrangements, including the names of any broker-dealers acting as underwriters.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers
or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act. In that event, any commissions received by broker-dealers or agents and any profit on
the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Sales Pursuant to Rule 144
Any common shares covered by this prospectus
which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
Regulation M
The selling stockholders must comply with
the requirements of the Securities Act and the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, we will advise the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation
rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders
and their affiliates. Regulation M under the Exchange Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from
bidding for, or purchasing for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the
subject of the distribution.
Accordingly, during such times as a selling
stockholder may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter,
the selling stockholder must comply with applicable law and, among other things:
|
1.
|
may not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
may not cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place; and
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any
of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act.
|
In addition, we will make copies of this
prospectus available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act.
State Securities Laws
Under the securities laws of some states,
the common shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states
the common shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
Expenses of Registration
We are bearing all costs relating to the
registration of the common stock. These expenses include, but are not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees.
The selling stockholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any
sale of the common stock.
INTERESTS
OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Except as disclosed herein, no expert or
counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the
validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the
common stock offered hereby was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with such offering, a
substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the Company, nor was any such person connected with the Company as a promoter, managing
or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.
McMillan LLP, our independent legal counsel,
has provided an opinion on the validity of the shares of our common stock that are the subject of this prospectus.
The consolidated financial statements of
Uranium Energy Corp. appearing in Uranium Energy Corp.’s Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the year ended July 31, 2019, and
the effectiveness of Uranium Energy Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2019, have been audited
by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, up and until their termination as the Company’s
auditors on May 29, 2020, as set forth in their reports thereon, which included, among other things, that the Company did not maintain
effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2019, based on Internal Control – Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), because of the effects of the
material weakness described in such reports, included therein, and incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial
statements are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in
accounting and auditing.
MATERIAL
CHANGES
There have been no material changes in
our affairs since the end of our last fiscal year on July 31, 2019 to the date of this prospectus, other than those changes that

|
No expert or counsel named in this
Registration Statement as having prepared or certified any part of this Registration Statement or having given an opinion
upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or

|
Item 6.
|
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
|
Our officers and directors are indemnified
as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws.
NRS Section 78.7502 provides that:
|
1.
|
a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except
an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding
if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;
|
|
2.
|
a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue
or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom,
to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court
in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all
the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper;
and
|
|
3.
|
to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the
corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the defense.
|
NRS Section 78.751 provides that we may
make any discretionary indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:
|
(b)
|
by our Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties
to the action, suit or proceeding;
|
|
(c)
|
if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit
or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;
|
|
(d)
|
if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot
be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
|
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Articles
provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable to our company, any of our stockholders or any other for damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of such director or officer unless such acts
or omissions involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or the payment of dividends in violation of the
General Corporate Law of Nevada.
Further, our Bylaws provide that we shall,
to the fullest and broadest extent permitted by law, indemnify all persons whom we may indemnify pursuant thereto. We may, but
shall not be obligated to, maintain insurance, at our expense, to protect ourselves and any other person against any liability,
cost or expense. We shall not indemnify persons seeking indemnity in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding voluntarily brought or threatened by such person unless such action, suit or proceeding has been authorized
by a majority of the entire Board of Directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act might be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our Company under the provisions
described above, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 7.
|
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
|
Not applicable.
The following is a complete list of exhibits
filed as a part of this Registration Statement, which Exhibits are incorporated herein.
|
(1)
|
Filed as an exhibit to this Registration Statement on Form S-8.
|
|
(2)
|
Included in Exhibit 5.1 to this Registration Statement on Form S-8.
|
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
1.
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this registration statement:
|
|
(a)
|
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
|
|
(b)
|
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in this registration statement; provided that any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the
low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant
to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
|
|
(c)
|
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution.
|
provided, however, that paragraphs
(a) and (b) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 14(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference into this registration statement.
|
2.
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
|
|
3.
|
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
|
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
