2. Forward-Looking Statements
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND STATEMENTS:
Certain statements and other information contained in this presentation may constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation or constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable United States securities legislation. Such information and statements are based on
UEX's current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding UEX‘s outlook for our future operations,
plans and timing for exploration activities, and other expectations, intentions and plans that are not historical fact. The words “estimates”, “projects”, “expects”, “intends”,
“believes”, “plans”, or their negatives or other comparable words and phrases are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are
based on certain factors and assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from UEX's expectations include uncertainties
relating to interpretation of drill results and geology, additional drilling results, continuity and grade of deposits, participation in joint ventures, reliance on other companies
as operators, public acceptance of uranium as an energy source, fluctuations in uranium prices and currency exchange rates, changes in environmental and other laws
affecting uranium exploration and mining, and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in UEX's Annual Information Form and other filings with the applicable securities
commissions in Canada. Many of these factors are beyond the control of UEX. Consequently, all forward-looking statements made herein are qualified by this cautionary
statement and there can be no assurance that actual results or developments anticipated by UEX will be realized. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, UEX disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise forward-looking
information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
NOTICE TO U.S. PERSONS:
The information in this presentation has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United
States securities laws. Information, including scientific or technical information, has been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure
for Mineral Projects (“N.I. 43-101”). N.I. 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer
makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Canadian standards, including N.I. 43-101, differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC.
For example, the terms “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” are used in this publication to comply with the reporting standards in Canada. While
those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a
“reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is
made. Readers should understand that “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to
their economic and legal feasibility. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into mineral
reserves. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of “inferred mineral resources” cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. In addition, the
definitions of proven and probable mineral reserves used in N.I. 43-101 differ from the definitions in the SEC Industry Guide 7. Disclosure of “contained pounds” is
permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute reserves as in place
tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information contained in this publication describing the Company's mineral properties may not be
comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and
the rules and regulations thereunder.
QUALIFIED PERSON:
Technical information in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by R. Sierd Eriks, P.Geo., UEX’s Vice-President of Exploration who is a Qualified Person as defined
by N.I. 43-101.

14. Shea Creek - Resources
The N.I. 43-101 mineral resource estimate for Shea Creek incorporates resources from the
Kianna, Anne, Colette and 58B deposits based on drilling information up to December 31, 2012.
The Shea Creek mineral resource estimate is included in a technical report on the Shea Creek Project with an effective date of May 31,
2013 which was filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com on May 31, 2013.
This mineral resource estimate confirms that Shea Creek remains the largest undeveloped
uranium resource in the Athabasca Basin. It also ranks as the third largest existing uranium
resource in the Basin, exceeded in size only by McArthur River and Cigar Lake.
The resources at Shea Creek are open in almost every direction and have excellent potential for
significant expansion as exploration continues.

15. Shea Creek - Deposits
The Shea Creek Project contains four known
uranium deposits:
Colette
Kianna
58B
Anne
The deposits are distributed along a strike length
of over 3 km at the north end of the 33-km long
Saskatoon Lake Conductor.
Mineralization is largely open and large parts of
the Saskatoon Lake Conductor remain untested;
the potential for resource expansion is extremely
high.
UEX signed an agreement that allows the
Company to increase its interest in the Western
Athabasca Joint Venture (including Shea Creek).
The Company has the option but no obligation to
spend up to $18.0 million over a six-year period
to earn an additional 0.9% interest in the project.
UEX will gain not only a further interest of 0.9%
in the existing resource, but also up to 49.9% of
any further resources discovered. UEX has
already earned 0.1% of the 0.9% interest to date.

23. HIDDEN BAY PROJECT
100% owned
Hosts the 6th largest undeveloped uranium
resource in the Athabasca Basin.
Known deposits:
‒ Horseshoe, Raven and West Bear
Aerial view of Horseshoe-Raven Camp
Horseshoe-Raven Camp
The 2010 N.I. 43-101 preliminary economic
assessment report (PA) indicates that the
project could yield EBIT of C$246M, pre-tax
NPV of C$163M and IRR of 42%(1)(2) at a price
of US$60/lb U3O8.
(1) These results are included in a technical report on the Hidden Bay property with an effective date of February 15, 2011 available online under UEX’s profile at www.sedar.com.
(2) Projects in the mining sector have experienced rising costs, including rising capital and operating costs, during the past few years. Rising capital and operating costs would, in the
absence of other changes, negatively impact EBIT, NPV and IRR which have been calculated based upon historical costs. Accordingly, readers should bear these factors in mind
when reading the PA and should not place undue reliance on the PA.

24. HIDDEN BAY PROJECT
Horseshoe and Raven are approximately
4 km from Cameco’s Rabbit Lake Mill and
22 km from AREVA’s McClean Lake Mill.
This proximity creates the opportunity
for toll milling arrangements to be
negotiated.
Hydroelectric transmission lines that
service both of these facilities pass 3 km
to the north of the deposits.
Provincial Highway 905 provides access to
the deposits and the local uranium mills.

26. Horseshoe and Raven Economics
The February 2011 N.I. 43-101 Preliminary Assessment Technical Report (“PA”) prepared by SRK Consulting
(Canada) Inc. recommends that the project be advanced to a preliminary feasibility level, and that this next
phase of study also include UEX’s West Bear Deposit.
These results are included in a technical report on the Hidden Bay property with an effective date of February 15, 2011 available online under
UEX’s profile at www.sedar.com.
The PA utilized cut-off grades calculated on the basis of $60 (US) per lb of U3O8 and estimated 16.6 million lbs
of U3O8 could be extracted over a seven-year mine life.

The Preliminary Assessment Technical Report is preliminary in nature, includes inferred mineral resources that
are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would
enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic
assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability.

27. Horseshoe and Raven Economics
Uranium processing and tailings management, as envisioned
in the PA, would be conducted through a toll arrangement* at
one of two milling facilities located near Horseshoe and Raven:
The Rabbit Lake Mill within 4 km, operated by Cameco
The McClean Lake Mill within 22 km, operated by AREVA
The PA has focused on Cameco’s Rabbit Lake Mill as it has
excess capacity and is the closer of the two facilities.
The Hidden Bay Project has opportunities for the improvement
of economics, including:
Expansion of mineable tonnes due to an increase in U3O8 price which would result in a lower
cut-off grade and thus the conversion of a higher proportion of the existing resource base to
reserves;
Expansion of mineable tonnes through discovery of additional resources at other locations on
the Hidden Bay property; and
Inclusion of UEX’s West Bear Deposit in the overall project mine plan and economics.
* Toll milling utilizes the excess capacity of an existing mill to process uranium ore, and is often a cost-effective alternative to constructing a new milling facility.

28. Horseshoe and Raven Resources
UEX is focused on advancing the
deposits at Horseshoe and Raven
through pre-feasibility and ultimately
to feasibility level to assess the
potential economics and viability of
mining the deposits.
