SECTION 8 - OTHER EVENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events
On January 20, 2010, Uranium Energy Corp. (the "Company") announced that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the "TCEQ") has granted a Radioactive Materials License (RML) for the Company's Palangana ISR Uranium Project located in Duval County, Texas. Prior to Palangana, the last RML granted by TCEQ was in 2002 to Mẽstena Uranium for their operation in Brooks County, Texas. The Palangana project has now obtained all the permits needed to proceed with development and has fully and successfully completed the state permitting process at all levels.
The Company completed the acquisition of the Palangana project through its acquisition of the South Texas Mining Venture, L.L.P. on December 18, 2009. Presently, the Company's technical team is studying the substantial historical information about the project before initiating a 215-hole drilling program with several rigs onsite. Concurrently, the Company has also engaged SRK Consulting for technical assistance to develop a current NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Palangana project which is expected to be completed by mid February 2010.
