Ur-Energy Receives Full-Scale Uranium Recovery Authorization for Shirley Basin Project
Ur-Energy announced a significant regulatory milestone for its Shirley Basin Project. The Company has received final authorization from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Uranium Recovery Program to advance from limited operations to full-scale uranium in situ recovery operations, including transport of uranium-loaded resin from its Shirley Basin ISR mine to the Company's Lost Creek processing facility. The authorization follows a comprehensive preoperational inspection conducted by WDEQ staff pursuant to Radioactive Materials License WYSUA-2010. The WDEQ verified that all required safety systems, operating procedures, staffing, radiation safety programs and environmental monitoring programs were sufficient for safe operations and protective of human health and the environment. Uranium recovery operations commenced at Shirley Basin in April 2026, and to date, an estimated 10,500 pounds of uranium have been loaded onto resin. Shipments of loaded resin to Lost Creek will commence in the coming weeks as wellfield flow rates are steadily increased to full commercial levels. The authorization advances Shirley Basin into full wellfield recovery operations and enables uranium-loaded resin to be transported to Lost Creek for final processing and recovery. By leveraging Lost Creek's established central processing plant for elution, precipitation, drying and drumming, Ur-Energy avoids duplicative infrastructure, improves capital efficiency and supports the scalable ramp-up of its second ISR operation.
Ur-Energy Completes 100th Shipment of Uranium Concentrate
Ur-Energy Inc announces the completion of its 100th shipment of Ub Ob uranium concentrate from its flagship Lost Creek ISR facility in Wyoming.

Ur-Energy Shareholders Approve Executive Compensation Plan
Ur-Energy announces the results of the Company's Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders held June 4 including the election of directors. Shareholders representing approximately 70.84% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares were represented at the meeting.

Renewal of the Company's Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan was approved by a majority of the votes represented.
Ur-Energy Begins Uranium Mining Operations in Wyoming
Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSE American:URG)(TSX:URE) (the "Company," "Ur-Energy" or "we"), a domestic uranium producer with ISR projects that are among the largest and lowest-cost in the United States, is pleased to announce the start of uranium mining operations at its Shirley Basin Project in Wyoming. Uranium bearing solution is now being captured from Mine Unit 1 at Shirley Basin after the successful completion of significant construction, wellfield installation, and permitting. Uranium concentrations in recovered solutions are expected to increase over time as we further condition the wellfield, and all production circuits are brought online. We expect to transport uranium loaded resin to Lost Creek for processing this summer, subject to an additional regulatory inspection and approval. The Shirley Basin Project enhances Ur-Energy's operational flexibility through its integration with existing infrastructure: Capacity: Licensed annual wellfield and toll processing capacity of up to 2.0 million pounds equivalent of U3O8. Resource Base: Measured and Indicated mineral resources totaling approximately 9.1 million pounds U3O8 at an average grade of 0.22% eU3O8. Mine Life: Anticipated mine life of approximately nine years across three shallow mining units. Operational Synergy: Uranium is captured on ion exchange resin and transported to the Company's Lost Creek facility for final processing, drying, and packaging. Matt Gili, CEO and President, commented: "Launching initial operations marks a pivotal achievement in Ur-Energy's growth strategy and plan to expand U.S. uranium production capacity. Two years ago, we committed to building out this project. Today, we have successfully brought a historically significant uranium district back to life, demonstrating disciplined execution of our strategy. This accomplishment reflects the dedication and expertise of our teams, who have advanced Shirley Basin from development to operations. It is particularly meaningful as it supports the growing need for secure, domestic uranium supply and underscores our ability to move permitted projects toward production while strengthening our role in the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle."
