Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE American: UEC) reported fiscal year 2026 results on Thursday, marking a significant operational milestone: the company has expanded from a single producing uranium mine in Wyoming to two mines across two states. According to the announcement, production commenced at Burke Hollow in South Texas, while development continues at a third mine, Ludeman, in Wyoming.
For the fourth quarter, UEC reported production of 65,392 pounds of uranium at its Christensen Ranch in Wyoming, at a total cash cost of $28.38 per pound. The newly operational Burke Hollow mine in South Texas produced 17,352 pounds at a total cash cost of $36.13 per pound. The company also stated it enters fiscal 2027 debt-free, a notable financial position for a capital-intensive industry.
The expansion into South Texas is particularly relevant for the state's economy. Burke Hollow's start-up adds a new production source in a region with a history of uranium mining, potentially creating jobs and attracting further investment in the area. As the largest and fastest-growing uranium company in the United States, UEC controls the largest uranium resource base and the most licensed production capacity in the country, totaling approximately 12 million pounds per year across its Wyoming and South Texas platforms.
Beyond mining, UEC is advancing a planned uranium conversion facility through its wholly owned subsidiary, United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp. This initiative aims to strengthen the domestic nuclear fuel supply chain, reducing reliance on foreign sources. The company maintains a 100% unhedged uranium strategy, providing full exposure to market fundamentals, and is managed by professionals with decades of experience across the uranium fuel cycle.
