Uranium Energy (NYSE American: UEC), a U.S.-based uranium mining and exploration company, has received $17.85 million from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”). The funds are for supplying 300,000 pounds of U.S.-origin uranium concentrates, which were purchased under a contract UEC was awarded last month. The uranium was purchased at $59.50 per pound by the DOE–National Nuclear Security Administration (“NNSA”).
