Uranium Resources, Inc. Receives Expected NASDAQ Notification Regarding Bid Price

Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: URRE) (URI), announced today that it
has received notice, as expected, from The NASDAQ Stock Market
('NASDAQ') stating that for 30 consecutive business days the bid price
for the Company's common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per
share as required by Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(1) for continued listing
on the NASDAQ Capital Market. This notification has no effect on the
listing of the Company's common stock at this time.

The January 17, 2012 letter has advised the Company that it has been
afforded a 'compliance period' of 180 calendar days to regain compliance
with the applicable NASDAQ requirements. The Company will regain
compliance with the minimum bid requirement if at any time before July
16, 2012 (180 calendar days), the bid price for the Company's common
stock closes at $1.00 per share or above for a minimum of 10 consecutive
business days.

The Company′s common stock has closed above $1 for the last three
consecutive trading days including today′s close.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid
price rule by July 16, 2012, NASDAQ will provide the Company with
written notification that its common stock is subject to delisting from
the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company may appeal NASDAQ's determination
to delist its common stock at that time.

The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its
common stock between now and July 16, 2012 and will evaluate available
options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement under the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

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 and a NRC license to produce
up to 1 million pounds of uranium per year. 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 website at www.uraniumresources.com.
