Ur-Energy Inc

Ur-Energy operates the Lost Creek in-situ recovery uranium mine in Wyoming, its primary asset producing yellowcake (U3O8) through low-cost ISR methods from the PRB ore zone. The company also holds satellite deposits nearby and exploration properties in Wyoming and Colorado. In the nuclear renaissance, driven by global clean energy demands and reactor restarts, Ur-Energy plays a strategic U.S.-based supply role, helping reduce reliance on foreign uranium amid tightening markets and bans on Russian imports.

Over the past year, Ur-Energy restarted Lost Creek production in May 2023, shipping its first uranium in June and ramping to 55,000 pounds U3O8 in Q1 2024 while fulfilling sales under long-term contracts at $80-90 per pound. It secured a $35 million debt facility and advanced permitting for expansions. Key risks include uranium price volatility, which fell 10% in Q2 2024; operational delays from wellfield development; regulatory hurdles for satellite projects; and liquidity strains, with cash burn exceeding $10 million quarterly.
