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.

Uranium Resources routinely posts news and other information about the
Company on its Web site at www.uraniumresources.com.
