A Green Resources Company Forward-Looking Statements & Disclaimer QP for Technical Disclosure – All scientific and technical disclosure contained herein has been prepared and approved by Dr. Richard Spencer, U3O8 Corp’s President and CEO and a “qualified person” within the meaning of NI 43-101. Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements (“FLS”) that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. These FLS are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the control of U3O8 Corp., including, but not limited to, the impact of general economic conditions, industry conditions, geopolitical risks, volatility of commodity prices, assumptions used in resource estimates, economic analysis and financial projections, risks associated with the uncertainty of exploration results and estimates and that the resource potential will be achieved on exploration projects, timing and outcome of the preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) and that a mine will be achieved on the Laguna Salada Project or the Berlin Deposit, that a joint venture will be formed with the Chubut provincial resource company, that the frac sand property will be developed as anticipated and silica potential is realized, currency fluctuations, the uncertainty of obtaining additional financing and exploration risk, and dependence upon regulatory approvals. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on FLS. These FLS are made as of the date hereof and U3O8 Corp. assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances. Industry and peer information has been drawn from publicly available sources and have not been independently verified by U3O8 Corp. Comparisons of U3O8 Corp’s resource and exploration targets with other uranium deposits are conceptual in nature, and have not been independently verified by U3O8 Corp. and information regarding these peer deposits are drawn from publicly available information. Kurupung Project, Guyana – resource of 8.4Mlb indicated at 0.09% U 3 O 8 and 7.7Mlb inferred at 0.08% U 3 O 8 . See June 26, 2012 – “Technical Review and Mineral Resource Estimates of the Aricheng C and Aricheng West Structures, Kurupung Uranium Project, Mazaruni District, Guyana for U3O8 Corp. ” and January 14, 2009 – “A Technical Review of the Aricheng North and Aricheng South Uranium Deposits in Western Guyana for U3O8 Corp. and Prometheus Resources (Guyana) Inc. ” Scout drilling suggests that the Kurupung may contain an additional exploration target of 6-11Mt at a grade of 0.08% to 0.10% U 3 O 8 (~14-19Mlb) – see press releases dated June 10, 2008, October 15, 2009, November 18, 2009, March 16, 2010, April 20, 2011 and June 8, 2011. Laguna Salada Project, Argentina – resources of 6.3Mlb indicated at 60ppm U 3 O 8 and 3.8Mlb inferred at 85ppm U 3 O 8 ; and 57Mlb indicated at 550ppm V 2 O 5 and 27Mlb at 590ppm V 2 O 5 . See May 20, 2011 – “Laguna Salada Project, Chubut Province, Argentina, NI 43-101 Technical Report on Laguna Salada: Initial Resource Estimate” . Based on exploration results on other mineralized areas, there is an additional exploration target of 56-113Mt at a grade of 50ppm to 60ppm U 3 O 8 (~10- 15Mlb) – see press releases dated December, 4, 2013 and November 12, 2013. For the Laguna Salada PEA, see the September 18, 2014 – “Preliminary Economic Assessment of Laguna Salada Uranium-Vanadium Deposit, Chubut Province, Argentina” . Berlin Project, Colombia – resources of 1.5Mlb indicated at 0.11% U 3 O 8 and 19.9Mlb inferred at 0.11% U 3 O 8 ; plus a phosphate inferred resource of 0.8Mt at 9.3% P 2 O 5 and vanadium inferred resource of 97mlb at 0.50% V 2 O 5 defined on only the southern 3km of the 10.5km mineralized trend at Berlin. See March 2, 2012 – “Berlin Project, Colombia – National Instrument NI 43-101 Report” . Based on exploration on other mineralized areas, there is an additional exploration target of 20- 27Mt at a grade of 0.09% to 0.11% U 3 O 8 (~50-55Mlb) on the remaining 7.5km of the trend – see press release dated September 20, 2012. For the Berlin PEA see the January 31, 2013 – “Berlin Project, Colombia - Preliminary Economic Assessment, NI 43-101 Report ” . PEAs are preliminary in nature as they include inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically for economic consideration that would enable them to be classified as mineral reserves. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that the results of the PEAs will be realized. Potential quantity and grades are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource on the above exploration targets, and it is uncertain if further exploration will increase the mineral resources on the company’s projects in Guyana, Argentina and Colombia.
