CORPUS CHRISTI, TX,
July 15, 2019 /CNW/ - Uranium
Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC, the "Company" or "UEC") is pleased
to provide comments on President Trump's "Memorandum on the Effect
of Uranium Imports on National Security" which was issued after the
market close on July 12,
2019.
UEC Chairman and former U.S. Energy Secretary, Spencer Abraham commented: "The Trump
Administration is to be commended for elevating the topic of U.S.
uranium mining to the top of our national security and energy
security agenda. At a time when we have bi-partisan support for the
clean, baseload energy that nuclear power provides, it is crucial
that the domestic supply chain is available for over 50% of our
nation's carbon free electricity generation. We will certainly make
ourselves available to assist the newly formed U.S. Nuclear Fuel
Working Group in any way possible."
President and CEO, Amir Adnani
stated: "The White House released the complete, much-anticipated
decision late Friday evening. We are very pleased with
President Trump's decision in establishing the U.S. Nuclear Fuel
Working Group, co-chaired by White House National Security Advisor
John Bolton and National Economic
Policy Advisor Larry Kudlow.
The President has instructed the Working Group to develop
recommendations for reviving and expanding domestic nuclear fuel
production, including uranium mining, and to submit their findings
within 90 days."
Adnani continued: "Ultimately, we remain even more positive and
excited about the improving fundamentals in the uranium market,
with a growing global deficit between primary production and
reactor requirements. We fully expect demand to continue to
grow with the world's need for the highly reliable, carbon-free,
safe energy that nuclear power provides. UEC's business plan,
regardless of whatever policy actions emerge from the Working
Group, will be to continue developing and advancing low-cost,
environmentally friendly in-situ recovery (ISR) projects, that can
be competitive in the global market."
President Trump issued the Memorandum in response to the U.S.
Department of Commerce Section 232 investigation of the U.S.
nuclear fuel industry. In the Memorandum, the President
stated that; "I agree with the Secretary [of Commerce] that
the United States uranium industry
faces significant challenges in producing uranium domestically and
that this is an issue of national security."
