2. Disclaimer
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of applicable securities laws, regarding events or conditions that
may occur in the future. Such statements include without limitation the long term effects on the uranium market of events in Japan in 2011
including supply and demand projection; the Company’s timeframe for events leading to and culminating in the commencement of production at
Lost Creek; the technical and economic viability of the Lost Creek Project (including the projections contained in the preliminary economic
analysis of the Lost Creek Property); receipt of (and related timing of) Record of Decision from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management related to
the Lost Creek Property; the Lost Creek Project will advance to production and the production timeline; production rates, timetables at the Lost
Creek Project; the Company’s procurement and construction plans at the Lost Creek Project; the ability to complete additional favorable
uranium sales agreements; the potential of exploration targets on the LC North and LC South and on the Lost Creek Project area outside the
current Lost Creek resource area; and the further exploration, development and permitting of exploration projects including Lost Soldier, the
exploration properties in Nebraska and at Screech Lake. These statements are based on current expectations that, while considered reasonable
by management at this time, inherently involve a number of significant business, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties and
contingencies. Numerous factors could cause actual events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could
cause such differences, without limiting the generality of the following, include: risks inherent in exploration activities; volatility and sensitivity to
market prices for uranium; volatility and sensitivity to capital market fluctuations; the impact of exploration competition; the ability to raise funds
through private or public equity financings; imprecision in resource and reserve estimates; environmental and safety risks including increased
regulatory burdens; unexpected geological or hydrological conditions; a possible deterioration in political support for nuclear energy; changes in
government regulations and policies, including trade laws and policies; demand for nuclear power; weather and other natural phenomena; delays
in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals; and other exploration, development, operating,
financial market and regulatory risks. Although Ur-Energy Inc. believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on these statements, which only apply as of the date of this presentation. Ur-Energy Inc.
disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
Cautionary Note Regarding Projections: Similarly, this presentation also may contain projections relating to an extended future period and,
accordingly, the estimates and assumptions underlying the projections are inherently highly uncertain, based on events that have not taken
place, and are subject to significant economic, financial, regulatory, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of
Ur-Energy Inc. Further, given the nature of the Company's business and industry that is subject to a number of significant risk factors, there can
be no assurance that the projections can be or will be realized. It is probable that the actual results and outcomes will differ, possibly materially,
from those projected.
The attention of investors is drawn to the Risk Factors set out in the Company's Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 40-F,
dated March 17, 2011, which are filed, respectively, with the regulatory authorities in Canada on SEDAR and with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on EDGAR. (www.sedar.com and http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml)
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated or Inferred Resources: the information presented uses
the terms "measured", "indicated" and "inferred" mineral resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized
and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these terms. United States
investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral
reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically
or legally minable.

6. The US Uranium Market
The US produces ~ 4M lbs of uranium/yr1
The US consumes 55M lbs of uranium/yr1 contributing 20% of US electricity
October 2011 Nuclear Energy Institute survey shows two-thirds of Americans
support nuclear energy
Ur-Energy is well positioned to capitalize on this opportunity

17. Preliminary Economic Assessment
2012 PEA* Upgrades Resources, Confirms Economics
Mineral Resource Increase from 2011 PA
11% Increase in Measured and Indicated Resources
159% Increase in Inferred Resources (includes first resource
estimate at each of LC North and LC South)
Estimates Operating Costs less than US$20/ lb
Lowest Quartile of all Uranium Producers
Estimates Total P roduction Cost at US$42.65/ lb
Includes capital recovery
Project Internal Rate of Return (I RR ) at 91%
Pre-Production Capital Costs of Only US$35M Rem aining
Lowest Quartile of all developing uranium production facilities
Total project Capital Cost of US$59M
Cautionary Statement: This PEA is preliminary in nature, and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the
economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. The estimated mineral recovery used in this PA is
based on both site-specific laboratory recovery data as well as URE personnel and industry experience at similar facilities. There can be no assurance that
recovery at this level will be achieved.
