UR-Energy Inc

Ur-Energy engages in the identification, acquisition, exploration, development, and operation of uranium projects. Shares of Ur‑Energy trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “URG” and on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “URE." Ur-Energy’s corporate headquarters is located in Casper Wyoming and its Colorado office is located in Littleton. Its registered office is in Ottawa, Ontario. Ur-Energy is a U.S. uranium mining company focused on developing and operating in-situ recovery (“ISR”) uranium projects. The Company owns and operates the Lost Creek ISR uranium facility in south-central Wyoming, which has produced over 3.0 million pounds of U₃O₈ since commencing production in 2013. Lost Creek’s license and permits allow annual plant production of up to 2.2 million pounds of U₃O₈, including wellfield production of up to 1.2 million pounds and toll processing of up to 1.0 million pounds. Ur-Energy’s second ISR facility, the Shirley Basin Project in Carbon County, Wyoming, is fully licensed and permitted, with construction nearly complete, positioning the Project to become the fifth ISR uranium operation in the United States. The project hosts a Measured and Indicated mineral resource of approximately 8.8 million pounds eU₃O₈, providing a strong foundation for a multi-year production profile. We are committed to producing uranium in a manner that minimizes environmental impact and returns the environment to conditions that existed prior to mining. As part of our focus on Health, Safety & Environment, Ur-Energy is committed to achieving excellence in sustainability in all aspects of its business, including environmental protection, health and safety, and equitable governance. We undertake to act responsibly as stewards of the resources in our charge, working for the well-being of our employees and the communities in which we live and operate.

Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment and operational decisions at UR-Energy?

Veteran mining engineer John Cash has served as CEO since September 2014, overseeing all strategic and operational decisions. He is supported by a small executive team that includes a COO with specific experience in in-situ recovery operations. The board includes professionals with backgrounds across mining, finance, and nuclear fuel cycle industries.

How does UR-Energy's in-situ recovery method differ from conventional uranium mining?

ISR extracts uranium by circulating oxygenated groundwater through the ore body via injection wells, dissolving the uranium, and pumping the solution to the surface for processing. This avoids open-pit or underground excavation, reduces surface disturbance, and typically has lower capital and operating costs. UR-Energy's Lost Creek and Shirley Basin projects both use this method.

What is UR-Energy's relationship with US nuclear utilities?

UR-Energy sells uranium concentrates under term supply agreements to nuclear utilities, which blend the material into fuel assemblies. A significant multi-year offtake agreement was signed in 2022 with a major US utility, providing revenue visibility. The company does not enrich or fabricate fuel — it produces and sells U3O8, the raw uranium concentrate.

Does the company have other permitted projects beyond Lost Creek?

Yes. UR-Energy holds the fully permitted Shirley Basin project, also in Wyoming's Great Divide Basin, with all major state and federal permits secured. The company has stated it will advance Shirley Basin to production readiness when market conditions support the capital expenditure.

What role does US uranium policy play in UR-Energy's positioning?

UR-Energy is one of very few domestic uranium producers with an operational permitted facility, placing it directly in the path of recent US policy efforts to reduce dependence on Russian and Kazakh uranium imports. Federal initiatives including the Nuclear Fuel Security Act and the strategic uranium reserve are designed to support domestic production capacity, benefiting firms with active permits.
