online Q3. The second and third header houses will follow, with operations anticipated to commence
for both in during Q4.

Vice President Operations, Steve Hatten was expectedly pleased with the reliable production from Lost
Creek stating “August 2, 2017 will mark the fourth anniversary of the start of production at Lost Creek.
Our team continues to meet, and in many cases exceed, expectations in both production and
development with more than two million pounds U3O8 shipped to date.”
Continuing Guidance for 2017
2017 Q3 contract sales are anticipated to be 109,000 pounds U3O8 at an average price of $36 per
pound. The pounds were contracted to be purchased at an average cost of $20 per pound. The 2017
Q3 production target for Lost Creek is between 60,000 and 70,000 pounds dried and drummed. Our
production rate may be adjusted based on continuing operational matters and other indicators in the
market.
We will provide further guidance for the remainder of 2017 in our Form 10‐Q, which is currently
anticipated to be filed on Friday, July 28, 2017.
