Refined Energy Corp. Comments on Unprecedented Global Uranium Supply Deficit and U.S. Nuclear
Policy Acceleration
Vancouver, British Columbia – January 28, 2026 – Refined Energy Corp. (CSE: RUU; OTC: RRUUF; FRA:
CWA0) (“Refined” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a strategic update on the uranium sector
following a series of significant global developments that have created a generational tailwind for North
American explorers and producers.
The Company believes that global energy markets are undergoing a structural realignment as governments
seek reliable, low -carbon baseload power amid rising electricity demand, including demand driven by
artificial intelligence, data centers, electrification, and industrial decarboni zation. Nuclear power has re -
emerged as a central solution within this framework, with corresponding implications for uranium supply
chains worldwide.
United States – Accelerated Nuclear and Fuel Cycle Strategy
In January 2026, the United States government advanced a series of actions aimed at strengthening
domestic nuclear power generation and rebuilding the U.S. uranium fuel cycle. These measures include
USD $2.7 Billion1 in federal funding commitments for uranium enrichment, support for advanced reactor
fuel supply, and executive actions intended to streamline regulatory processes and accelerate deployment
timelines.
U.S. policy initiatives appear to be focused on reducing reliance on foreign uranium and enrichment
services, particularly from geopolitically sensitive jurisdictions, while supporting domestic production,
processing, and enrichment capacity. These developments reflect a broader recognition o f uranium as a
strategic resource linked to national energy security and critical infrastructure resilience.
Positioning for a Long-Term Nuclear Cycle
Management believes these developments emphasize the importance of early-stage uranium exploration
in stable jurisdictions, particularly as utilities, governments, and supply chain participants increasingly
focus on long -term security of supply. For explor ation companies, this environment underscores the
strategic relevance of identifying, advancing, and de-risking uranium projects capable of supporting future
development decisions as the nuclear fuel cycle continues to evolve.

Mark Fields, Chief Executive Officer of Refined Energy Corp., “The uranium sector is being reshaped by
long-term structural forces, including energy security priorities, decarbonization mandates, and sustained
growth in global electricity demand. In the United States, policy has clearly shifted toward rebuilding
domestic nuclear fuel supply chains. For companies operating in the uranium exploration space, these
changes reinforce the importance of advancing quality projects in stable jurisdictions and mainta ining a
disciplined, long -term approach to exploration and asset development. Refined continues to focus on
building a strong exploration portfolio aligned with these evolving industry fundamentals.”
The Company continues to monitor global market and policy developments as it advances its exploration
programs and evaluates opportunities aligned with long-term uranium supply fundamentals.
