About Uranium Resources, Inc.

Uranium Resources Inc. explores for, develops and mines uranium.� Since its incorporation in 1977, URI has produced over 8 million pounds of uranium by in-situ recovery (ISR) methods in the state of Texas where the Company currently has ISR mining projects. �URI also has 183,000 acres of uranium mineral holdings and 101.4 million pounds of in-place mineralized uranium material in New Mexico, as well as a NRC license to produce up to 1 million pounds of uranium.� The Company acquired these properties over the past 20 years along with an extensive information database of historic mining logs and analysis.� None of URI�s properties is currently in production. �

URI�s strategy is to fully exploit its resource base in New Mexico and Texas, expand its asset base both within and outside of New Mexico and Texas, partner with larger mining companies that have undeveloped uranium or with junior mining companies that do not have the mining experience of URI, as well as provide restoration expertise to those that require the capability or lack the proficiency.
