This marks UEC’s second successful highly accretive M&A transaction in the last year, creating the largest diversified North American focused uranium company,” said UEC’s president and CEO Amir Adnani. “We welcome UEX shareholders to UEC and appreciate the vote of confidence in supporting our transaction. The competing interest for UEX from other industry participants further validates the significant upside and strategic rationale we identified in UEX’s portfolio of high-grade projects in the world-class Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan.
