Corporate Overview

Uranium Resources, Inc. explores for, develops and mines uranium. Since its incorporation in 1977, URI has produced over 7 million pounds of uranium by in-situ recovery (ISR) methods in the state of Texas, where the Company has ISR mining projects that are currently being restored at its Kingsville Dome, Rosita and Vasquez projects.

URI's intrinsic value lies in the 183,000 acres and 101.4 million pounds of in-place mineralized uranium holdings in New Mexico. The Company acquired these properties over the past 20 years along with an extensive information database. URI's strategy is to capitalize on the prospects for long-term strong global demand for uranium by fully exploiting its resource base in Texas and New Mexico, acquiring new assets and through joint ventures or partnerships.

Our Texas production has been the foundation of our performance providing us both cash and the experience to bridge toward production of our New Mexico properties, which are our future. URI owns the mineral rights to over 183,000 acres in the state's Grants region with over 100 million pounds of in-place uranium mineralized material. Currently we are not producing in the state, however our long term goal is to produce six to nine million pounds of uranium each year from our New Mexico assets. We plan to achieve our production goals utilizing the safest, most efficient and economic mining methods available, including in-situ recovery and conventional mining and milling.

Uranium Resources, Inc. in 2009

Uranium prices, which peaked in mid-2007, are currently well below their peak and we have taken appropriate steps to conserve cash until the pricing environment improves. In the near-term, we will produce out two existing wellfields at Kingsville Dome in Texas which will likely be depleted in the first quarter of the year. Our priority, as always, will be the continued restoration and reclamation of our completed operating wellfields.

The Uranium Market

The only significant commercial use for uranium is as a fuel for nuclear power plants that generate electricity. According to the World Nuclear Association, there are 438 nuclear power plants operating in the world at the end of July 2007 generating approximately 16% of the world's electricity needs. Nuclear energy's share of worldwide consumption is expected to at least remain constant or perhaps grow to 18% by the year 2030. Current worldwide production of uranium falls significantly short of consumption and the gap between production and consumption has been filled by secondary supplies, such as inventories held by governments, utilities and others in the fuel cycle, These secondary supplies are currently meeting nearly a third of worldwide demand, but as they are depleted future production will have to rise closer to demand.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors
