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
procurement, construction and commissioning); the timing and outcome of the challenge to the BLM Record of Decision, including petitioner’s motion for preliminary
injunction, the technical and economic viability of Lost Creek (including the projections contained in the preliminary analysis of economics of the Lost Creek Property);
ability and timing of the Company to secure project financing including the state bond process; timing and completion of closing of the Pathfinder transaction; the ability to
complete additional favorable uranium sales agreements and ability to reduce exposure to volatile market; the potential of exploration targets throughout the Lost Creek
Property (including the ability to expand resources); the further exploration, development and permitting of exploration projects including Lost Soldier, the Nebraska
properties, Screech Lake and, following a closing, at PMC projects; the long term effects on the uranium market of events in Japan in 2011 including supply and demand
projections; and whether a re-rating of the Company will occur as production nears. 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,
p y g p j y g y p j g
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 2, 2012, 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

Ca tionar Note to U S In estors Concerning Estimates of Meas red Indicated or Inferred Reso rces the information presented uses the terms "meas red"
U.S. Investors Measured, Resources: ses "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.

Global Supply Picture is Dynamic
 HEU agreement to expire this year
 Provides 13% of world and 45% of US annual supply

 Today’s capital markets present a significant obstacle to
development of new large scale mining centers

 Current uranium market price does not incentivize new supply
development or sustain high cost conventional producers

 Large scale production growth is being curtailed for the foreseeable
future

 New production will only come from a limited number of low cost
cost,
scalable projects


10

The US Uranium Market
 US demand is not met by US production
 US mines produce ~ 4M lbs of uranium/yr1
 US utilities consume ~55M lbs of uranium/yr1
55M
 Ur-Energy is well positioned to capitalize on this opportunity

The Lost Creek Property
Upgrade to the NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate on the
Lost Creek property (as of April 30, 2012 PEA)
Measured: 4.20 Mlbs eU3O8 (in 3.85 Mt @ 0.055%)
Indicated: 4.15 Mlbs eU3O8 (in 3.96 Mt @ 0.053%)
Inferred: 2.87 Mlbs eU3O8 (in 2.99 Mt @ 0.049%)

* Based on grade cutoff of 0.02% eU3O8 and a GT cutoff of 0.3
g

 Updated technical report includes land
added in 2012 and upgraded resources
 Exploration targets within the Lost Creek
project and adjoining projects provide
potential of additional resources U3O8
 Lost Creek Project – 4,254 permit acres
Adjoining projects – ~38 000 acres
38,000
Many of these exploration targets remain conceptual in nature.
There has been insufficient exploration to define mineral resource
estimates at all such exploration targets. It is uncertain if further
exploration will result in the additional target areas being
delineated as further mineral resource.


15

Preliminary Economic Assessment
April 30, 2012 PEA* updates resources and economics
 Extended life of mine to 8 – 10 years
E t d d lif f i t
 Mineral resource increase from February 2012 PEA
 45% Increase in measured and indicated resources
 42% Increase in inferred resources
 Estimates operating costs at US $16.12/lb
 Lowest quartile of all uranium producers
 Project internal rate of return (IRR) at 87%
 Capital requirement of only US $31.6M
 Lowest quartile of all developing uranium production facilities
*Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Lost Creek Property, Sweetwater County, Wyoming Prepared by Ur-Energy Inc. – April 30, 2012
(posted on SEDAR and EDGAR)

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 PEA 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.
