Uranium Resources, Inc. Signs Letter of Intent for Exploration Agreement with Cameco Resources to Explore Texas Properties

04.11.2010  |  Business Wire


Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: URRE) ('URI?) announced today that it
has signed a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) with Power Resources,
Inc. d/b/a Cameco Resources (CR), a subsidiary of Cameco (NYSE: CCJ),
for a three-phase exploration program funded by CR and an option for a
production joint venture on a large ranch in South Texas. The agreement
is contingent upon URI successfully completing a three-year lease option
agreement with the land owner as well as the negotiation and execution
of final definitive agreements between URI and CR.


Don Ewigleben, President and CEO of URI, commented, 'This LOI is a major
step forward with our strategy to build our resource base in both Texas
and New Mexico, to partner with major industry organizations in order to
create greater value more rapidly and to demonstrate the breadth and
depth of our experience in the uranium mining industry.


'We believe there is significant uranium potential in Texas, and we have
the record to prove uranium can be mined and produced safely given our
strong focus on health, safety and the environment. Using the in situ
recovery (ISR) process, we have produced over 8 million pounds of
uranium in Texas since we began production in 1977. We have two
processing facilities with total capacity for over 1.6 million pounds of
uranium per year, and we are the only uranium company in the United
States with the experience of approved restoration of an ISR mining
operation.?

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.
