Readers are cautioned thatthe assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such,nd e reliance sho ld not be placed on FLS These FLS are made as of the date hereof and U3O8 Corp ass mes no obligation to pdate or re ise them to reflectundue 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 U3O8Corp. Comparisons of U3O8 Corp’s resource and exploration targets with other uranium deposits are conceptual in nature, and have not been independentlyverified 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% U3O8 and 7.7Mlb inferred at 0.08% U3O8. See June 26, 2012 – “Technical Review and MineralResource 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% U3O8 (~14-19Mlb) – see pressreleases 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 U3O8 and 3.8Mlb inferred at 85ppm U3O8; and 57Mlb indicated at 550ppm V2O5 and27Mlb at 590ppm V2O5. See May 20, 2011 – “Laguna Salada Project, Chubut Province, Argentina, NI 43-101 Technical Report on Laguna Salada: Initial ResourceEstimate”. Based on exploration results on other mineralized areas, there is an additional exploration target of 56-113Mt at a grade of 50ppm to 60ppm U3O8 (~10-15Mlb) – see press releases dated December, 4, 2013 and November 12, 2013. For the Laguna Salada PEA, see the September 18, 2014 – “PreliminaryEconomic Assessment of Laguna Salada Uranium-Vanadium Deposit, Chubut Province, Argentina”.

Berlin Project, Colombia – resources of 1.5Mlb indicated at 0.11% U3O8 and 19.9Mlb inferred at 0.11% U3O8 ; plus a phosphate inferred resource of 0.8Mt at 9.3%P2O5 and vanadium inferred resource of 97mlb at 0.50% V2O5 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% U3O8 (~50-55Mlb) on the remaining 7.5km of the trend – see press release dated September 20, 2012. For the Berlin PEA seethe 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 wouldbl th t b l ifi d i l Mi l t i l d h t d t t d i i bilit Th i t i t

enable them to be classified as mineral reserves. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability. There is no certaintythat the results of the PEAs will be realized. Potential quantity and grades are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineralresource 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. Information on U3O8 Corp., its projects and technical reports in compliance with NI 43-101 are available on the company’s web site atwww.u3o8corp.com.

U3O8 Corp. Project ranking under prevailing market conditions

A Green Resources Company

Project ranking under prevailing market conditions 1. Priority 1 is Laguna Salada, Argentina:• Meets lower quartile potential production cost criterion;• Technically simple: soft gravel at surface, no blasting, no crushing, standard alkaline

leach to extract the uranium & vanadium; • $8.6MM over two years to complete feasibility study & permitting reach

construction decision;;• Relatively low capex – estimate in PEA is US$136MM. Currency weakness in

countries in which components of the plant were quoted would reduce capex;2. Berlin Project, Colombia:• Meets lower quartile potential production cost criterion;• Relatively high capex at US$441MM defined in PEA. Alternative extraction technique

could significantly reduce capex & opex;$ f• ~$1M required for pilot plant to test alternative technique;

• $44MM over 4 years to complete resource expansion, complete feasibility study & reach mine construction decision;

10Mlbs uranium (6.4Mlbs recoverable); 84Mlbs vanadium (10Mlbs recoverable);

Projected average annual production 0 6Mlb uranium over 10 year mine life: Projected average annual production 0.6Mlb uranium over 10 year mine life: Argentina requires 0.4Mlbs per year to operate its three reactors – currently imports 100% of its fuel requirement potential for off-take agreement; 1Mlb/annum vanadium production; Focus of the PEA was cash-cost of production:

US$21.62/lb average over the life of the mine; US$16.14/lb during the 2½ year payback period; Demonstrates potential for production cost to be in the lower quartile of the uranium industry.

Capex: $136M incl 20% contingency. US$ strength against currencies in which plant equipment was quoted could reduce Capex by ~15%.plant equipment was quoted could reduce Capex by 15%.

Berlin:Introduction

A Green Resources Company

Introduction

Berlin: A uranium-bearing phosphate layer in sedimentary rocks - contains a rare mix of nickel, vanadium, rare earths and other metals; The current 21 million pound uranium resource is from 3km of a 10.5km uranium-phosphate – bearing trend there is room for resource growth to 70-75 million pounds ofresource growth to 70-75 million pounds of uranium; Extensive metallurgical test work has shown that this mix of commodities can be cost-effectively extracted from the rock; G d i f t t Good infrastructure:

• located 12km from a hydroelectric plant;• 60km from the Magdalena river that is navigable by barge to the Caribbean Sea;• 60km from principal paved highway and a

Potential to Improve Project s Economics

Potential to reduce operating (Opex) and capital costs (Capex): Test work on the effectiveness of alternative techniques for the Test work on the effectiveness of alternative techniques for the

extraction of metals and phosphate (eg. Use of membrane systems to separate the metals);

Potential to increase revenue: Removal of carbonate to reduce reagent consumption (lower

operating costs); Current PEA only considers revenue stream from two Rare Earth

Elements (Neodymium & Yttrium) Include other REEs such asElements (Neodymium & Yttrium). Include other REEs such as Dysprosium & Europium in revenue stream; Reduce electricity cost by capturing excess heat generated by the

processing plant. Increase the uranium resource – the target is 70-75Mlbs1. Economics of
