Uranium Energy Corp Brand Guidelines: A Corpus Christi ISR Miner in Texas & Wyoming

A Gulf Coast start in in-situ recovery.

Uranium Energy Corp, which shortens its name to UEC, is a uranium company based in Corpus Christi, Texas: its news releases carry that dateline, and World Nuclear News described it in March 2026 as Texas-headquartered. Its shares trade on NYSE American under the ticker UEC. Its president and chief executive, Amir Adnani, is described on the company’s website as a director and a founder of the business; its board is chaired by Spencer Abraham, who served as US secretary of energy from 2001 to 2005, the company says.

The company built its first operation in the South Texas uranium belt near the Gulf Coast. English Wikipedia’s article on uranium mining in the United States says UEC began in-situ leach mining at its Palangana deposit in Duval County in 2010, sending uranium-loaded resins from the wellfield’s ion-exchange plant to its Hobson processing plant to be turned into yellowcake, and that in late 2012 it completed permitting for the Goliad project in Goliad County.

That arrangement became the company’s model, which it calls hub-and-spoke: a central processing plant serves several satellite wellfields. In-situ recovery, also called in-situ leach, dissolves uranium in the ground and pumps the solution to the surface for processing, rather than digging ore out of a pit or shaft. On its website UEC says it is the only US uranium company with two producing in-situ recovery hub-and-spoke platforms, and that it follows a 100% unhedged uranium strategy.

Three acquisitions in a year.

UEC grew quickly through purchases in 2021 and 2022. The first step came in Wyoming: World Nuclear News reported in January 2024 that UEC took ownership of the Irigaray central processing plant and the orebodies of its Wyoming hub-and-spoke operation, including Christensen Ranch, through its 2021 acquisition of Uranium One Americas from Rosatom, the Russian state nuclear corporation. Citing the US Energy Information Administration, the same report said Christensen Ranch and Irigaray, together known as the Willow Creek project, had been on standby since last operating in 2018.

The company then turned to Canada. Kitco News reported on 22 August 2022 that Uranium Energy had completed its acquisition of UEX Corporation, a Saskatchewan-focused explorer, and on 17 October 2022 UEC announced that it had completed its purchase of the Roughrider development project in the Athabasca Basin from a subsidiary of Rio Tinto. In the same release Adnani described a two-part plan: in-situ recovery production in the United States and a pipeline of high-grade conventional projects in Canada. Roughrider remains a development project. A further Wyoming asset, the Sweetwater uranium complex, was acquired from Rio Tinto in 2024, the company says; in August 2025 it said Sweetwater had been added to the federal FAST-41 transparency dashboard for fast-tracked permitting.

The company also holds a stake in Uranium Royalty Corp., which Adnani chairs, according to UEC’s website.

Design and documentation.

Uranium companies sell a commodity that few of their audiences will ever see, so their visual material leans on the stages around it. Mining reports and investor decks in this sector commonly show drill core laid out in trays, drums of uranium concentrate, the yellowcake of the trade, and the plants where ore is milled. The product itself is a powder; the imagery is of the places and steps that produce it.

Geography does much of the work. In-situ recovery, the method Kazatomprom uses for all of its production in Kazakhstan, pumps solution through wells rather than digging a pit, so its pictures tend to be wellfields of wellheads and pipework laid across open steppe and prairie. In northern Saskatchewan, the Athabasca Basin, where Cameco mines McArthur River and Cigar Lake, appears as lakes, forest and snow, with headframes and camps in winter light.

The fuel story widens the frame. Companies that sell uranium into conversion, enrichment and fuel fabrication often finish their presentations with nuclear power plants, cooling towers and control rooms, and with the language of low-carbon, reliable electricity; when Cameco and Brookfield completed their purchase of Westinghouse in November 2023, World Nuclear News quoted Cameco’s chief executive on demand for nuclear power and energy security.

Much of this material is made for investors and for the industry itself. Producers and developers publish decks and annual reports for listings in markets such as Toronto, New York, London and Astana, and present at industry events, among them those of the World Nuclear Association, whose public information service is World Nuclear News. This guide sets out what can be checked about each company — its origins, owners and mines — and treats its colours and type as an unofficial interpretation.

Restarts, a new mine and a conversion plan.

Production returned in Wyoming first. World Nuclear News reported that UEC’s board approved restarting Christensen Ranch in January 2024 and that production began in the previously operated Mine Unit 10 on 6 August 2024, with the uranium processed at Irigaray, about 24 km to the northwest. In March 2026 the same publication reported that the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality had approved a rise in the plant’s licensed capacity in 2024, that Irigaray produced its first dried and drummed concentrate since the restart in February 2025, and that UEC had begun operating three new header houses in wellfield 11, with one more awaiting approval and three under construction in wellfield 12 and an extension of Mine Unit 10. Irigaray is the hub for eleven satellite in-situ projects across the Powder River Basin, four of them fully permitted, the January 2024 report said.

Texas followed. On 8 April 2026 UEC announced that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality had approved Burke Hollow and that production there had begun; the company calls it the newest in-situ recovery uranium mine in the world and says it was a grassroots discovery of 2012. In its results for the fiscal year to 31 July 2026, published in September, UEC said it was producing from two mines in two states and building a third, Ludeman in Wyoming, which it plans to start in 2027.

The company is also looking beyond mining. World Nuclear News reported that UEC launched a subsidiary, United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp., in September 2025 to study a US conversion plant, and that by March 2026 it had received a docket number from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission; engineering was under way with Fluor and no site had been chosen. The plant is a plan, not a facility.

For a design guide, Uranium Energy Corp shows how a mining company can name and explain its production model: wellfields and header houses feeding central plants, which it calls hubs and spokes, in two states. Compare Ur-Energy, another in-situ recovery producer in Wyoming, and Denison Mines, a neighbour in the Athabasca Basin. For this guide we use a Gulf navy, a caliche sand and a drum gold with a sans, an unofficial interpretation; no product or logo is reproduced.
