Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, capital and other costs varying significantly from estimates failure to establish estimated resources and reserves the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates production rates, methods and amounts varying from estimates delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals inflation changes in exchange rates fluctuations in commodity prices delays in development and other factors. This release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws regarding events or conditions that may occur in the future ( e.g., timing of construction and commencement of production at Lost Creek the anticipated life of mine and recovery estimates of Lost Creek) and are based on current expectations that, while considered reasonable by management at this time, inherently involve a number of significant business, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties and contingencies.

Shares of Ur-Energy trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “URE” and on the NYSE Amex under the symbol “URG”. Ur-Energy engages in the identification, acquisition and exploration of uranium properties in both Canada and the United States. Engineering for the process facility is complete and mine planning is at an advanced stage for the first two mine units. Permitting also will allow the construction of a two-million-pounds-per-year in situ uranium processing facility. Ur-Energy is a junior uranium company currently completing mine planning and permitting activities to bring its Lost Creek Wyoming uranium deposit into production. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the multi-talented team at Ur-Energy for their dedicated efforts in achieving the completion of the permitting efforts for this project.” My compliments go out to the regulatory community for their commitment to the values and mission of the agencies they represent. The efforts of the involved agency staffs have produced a foundation of permits and licenses on which we can build a model uranium recovery operation for the future of the Company. “The comprehensive nature of the regulatory review process has included multiple opportunities for public input. “We appreciate the thoroughness of all the regulatory agencies throughout the permitting process,” noted Wayne Heili, President and CEO of Ur-Energy. Those agencies also approved an aquifer exemption authorizing the Company to conduct injection activities in the production well fields. ![]() The Company received the necessary permit to install and operate Class I water disposal wells from the WDEQ and the US Environmental Protection Agency. The State of Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) approved a Permit to Mine inOctober 2011. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued its license inAugust 2011. Through a comprehensive regulatory review process, Ur-Energy has obtained all of the permits and licenses required to produce uranium at the Lost Creek Project site. The project is currently expected to produce more than seven million pounds of uranium yellowcake (U 30 8) at a designed rate of one million pounds per year. First production from Lost Creek is forecast for early summer of 2013. During the next six to nine months, the Company will invest 30 to 40 million dollars in the project, located in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. I anticipate the Lost Creek mine becoming an important contributor to South-Central Wyoming’s economic development and employment opportunities for many years to come.”įacility construction will start this month at the Lost Creek Project site. The next several months will be a very exciting period for Ur-Energy as we grow from a company conducting exploration and development activities to emerge as a viable Wyoming-based uranium production company. “Lost Creek is our Company’s premier project. “With the receipt of the Record of Decision, the activities at our Lost Creek ISR project will rapidly transition to facility construction and mine unit development,” said Jeff Klenda, Chairman of the Board of Ur-Energy.
