Ur-Energy is a junior mining company focused on uranium exploration and development in the United States and Canada. It aims to be a low-cost uranium producer and create shareholder value. The company's Lost Creek project in Wyoming has an indicated resource of 9.2 million pounds of uranium and could produce up to 2 million pounds per year. Lost Creek has favorable economics at uranium prices above $40 per pound and over $24 million in capital expenditures have already been completed towards construction of an on-site processing plant with a capital cost of $26-30 million.

Corporate P resentation
February 25, 2011
This presentation and related information does not
constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an
offer to buy the Common Shares of Ur-Energy.
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 Company’s timeframe for events leading to and culminating in the
commencement of production at Lost Creek including sufficiency of cash to fund capital requirements, receipt of (and related timing of) the NRC
Source Material License, WDEQ Permit to Mine, BLM Plan of Operations, and all other necessary permits related to Lost Creek, and procurement
and construction plans; specifics of drilling for Lost Creek; production rates and sustainability, timetables and methods at Lost Creek; permitting
and licensing for Lost Soldier; and timing and relative results of exploration programs, including without limitation those at LC North and LC South,
Hauber Project, the Bootheel Project and in Nebraska. With regard to discussion of the potential of exploration targets, it should be noted that
potential quantity and grade ranges are conceptual in nature; there has been insufficient exploration yet to define a mineral resource at the two
new exploration targets. Further, it is uncertain if additional exploration will result in the exploration targets being delineated as a mineral
resource.
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; delay in obtaining or failure to obtain necessary permits and approvals from government authorities; 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 Report on Form 20-F (Annual Information Form) for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the regulatory authorities in Canada on SEDAR on March 11, 2010 and with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on EDGAR on March 12, 2010.
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.

19. Exploration Targets on Adjacent Properties
Potential of Additional Resources
U3O8 to be added to Lost Creek
Project Area and Adjacent Lands
Multiple roll fronts in four stratigraphic
horizons defined by ~500+ drill holes
~50-60 historic holes mineralized with
grades similar to Lost Creek resource
2010 exploration drill program (159
holes 101,270 ft (30,867 m)) defined
numerous individual uranium roll front
systems
Additional drilling of 2000-3000
holes at a cost of $15 M - $22.5M
(~$7,500/hole)
Assumptions based on knowledge as of September 1, 2009.
These potential quantity and grade ranges are conceptual in nature. There
has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource outside the
current Lost Creek resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result
in the new target areas outside the Lost Creek resource being delineated as
a mineral resource.
