Ur-Energy Maintains Production Schedule
While Exploring for New Discoveries - Webcast Tomorrow

Denver, Colorado (CCNMatthews – July 24, 2007) Ur-Energy Inc. (TSX:URE) (“Ur-Energy” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce today that its permitting and engineering work is progressing on schedule, with positive results, and a vigorous exploration program has been initiated.

Bill Boberg, President & CEO stated, “Ur-Energy’s corporate objectives are three-fold:

1)	To start producing uranium in Wyoming by 2009;
2)	To be a low cost producer of uranium and not be impacted by lower uranium prices; and,
3)	To extend and expand our production pipeline through aggressive development and exploration programs in the US, exploration programs in Canada and through strategic acquisitions.

Our work to date in 2007 demonstrates our strong commitment to meeting those objectives. We are very encouraged by our development work to date at Lost Creek. We congratulate our superb mining team for maintaining a rigorous schedule to accomplish our goals. We are particularly pleased that our projected costs of production at our Lost Creek project will make us a low cost producer and profitable at spot uranium prices considerably below today’s prices.”

Due to extensive due diligence regarding the Company’s May 2007 financing, the normal quarterly report to shareholders was not possible, so there is six months of activities to report on at this time.

Management of Ur-Energy invites you to join them for a Webcast at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, this Thursday, July 26, 2007, to update interested shareholders on the fast-tracking of its Wyoming uranium projects. Instructions for joining the Webcast are as follows:

HIGHLIGHTS

Corporate

Ur-Energy continued to expand on its technical expertise during the first half of 2007 through development of a strong engineering and geologic team in its Casper, Wyoming office for its uranium in-situ recovery (“ISR”) program. The company team members have more than 450 years of combined direct experience in all phases of uranium mining from exploration through development, mining and processing.

Important events to date in 2007 include the following:

• Wayne Heili joined the Company as Vice President, Mining & Engineering.

• Steve Hatten joined the Company as Manager of Engineering.

• Roger Smith joined the firm as Chief Financial Officer.

• Expansion of office space and operational staff in Casper, Wyoming.

• C$82.5 million raised through “bought deal” prospectus financing at C$4.75.

Lost Creek Project

The Lost Creek uranium deposit is located four miles north of Rio Tinto's Sweetwater mill in the Great Divide Basin, Wyoming. The deposit is approximately three miles (4.8 kilometres) long and the mineralization occurs in four main sandstone horizons between 315 feet (96 metres) and 700 feet (213 metres) in depth. NI 43-101 Compliant Resources (Roscoe Postle Associates Inc., June 15, 2006) for Lost Creek are: 9.8 million pounds of U₃O₈ at 0.058% as an indicated resource and an additional 1.1 million pounds of U₃O₈ at 0.076% as an inferred resource. In 2006, seventeen cased monitoring and pump test wells were completed on the property and the initial testing was completed successfully with encouraging results.

Four drill rigs are presently drilling at Lost Creek and the addition of a fifth rig has been scheduled. The drilling is to complete several separate phases of work on the project:

• Installation of pump test and monitor wells for baseline and engineering data.

• Ore body delineation wells to better define the ore body for wellfield planning.

• Condemnation wells to assure that the plant site will not be built on an ore deposit.

• Water wells for water for the drilling operation.

The following work at Lost Creek was completed during the past six months and additional work is planned for the remainder of 2007:

• A second round of pump testing was completed demonstrating above average flow rates and favourable conditions for ISR mining. A third round of pump testing is planned for August 2007.

• 29 of 59 pump test and monitoring wells have been installed to date, with the remainder to be installed during 2007.

• 32 delineation drill holes of 195 delineation holes have been completed. The extensive delineation drilling program is to define the outer limits of mineralization for engineering wellfield design.

• 2 additional water wells were completed away from the delineated wellfields. One of the water wells intercepted 12 feet (3.7 metres) of uranium-bearing sandstone at a grade of 0.075 % U₃O₈. This is within the main mineralized zone, but more than 2,400 ft. (732 metres) from known mineralization indicating a possible major extension of mineralization within the main mineralized zone.

• 6 condemnation drill holes reaching up to 1,000 feet (305 metres) in depth were completed in the proposed plant site areas.

•	Mineralized intercepts in the 2007 drilling program continue to indicate that the mineralization at Lost Creek is commonly thicker than average mineralized roll fronts in the basin. Examples are: LC45 in the HJ Sand was 27 feet (8.2 metres) thick at a grade of 0.121% U3O8 and LC49 in the KM Sand was 25 feet (7.6 metres) thick at a grade of 0.064% U3O8.
•	Engineering feasibility studies being conducted by the Ur-Energy in-house engineering team are well underway, including wellfield design and processing plant design.
	>	A proposed new processing plant is being designed and permitted to produce 2 million pounds of U3O8 yellowcake slurry per year with the capability to toll process loaded resin from other satellite ISR facilities.
	>	Capital equipment orders for long lead time items will be placed early in 2008.
	>	Instead of building a satellite plant for resin loading, as anticipated in the preliminary plans, Ur-Energy will construct a full scale processing plant which will be completed in stages. The first stage will produce yellowcake slurry and, at a later date, a second stage will add a drying and packaging facility.
•	The Ur-Energy License Permit Application to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) for Lost Creek is being compiled into report form based on the extensive individual geologic, engineering and environmental studies completed by Ur-Energy since starting the permitting process in July 2005.
	>	The projected date for submission of the Ur-Energy License Permit to the NRC is September 2007. This is projected to be the first new ISR (non-satellite) mining license application from Wyoming in recent years.
	>	The Application for the Ur-Energy Permit to Mine will be submitted to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (“WDEQ”) following the license submission to the NRC.
•	All environmental baseline studies have been completed and our contractor, AATA International, is compiling the permit applications for both the NRC and the WDEQ.
•	Evaluation and permitting of Class I deep disposal well sites is being done by Petrotek Engineering.
•	The 2007 budget for Lost Creek is approximately US$8 million.

Regarding the preparation of the Applications for Permit to Mine at Lost Creek, Bill Boberg, Ur-Energy President & CEO, stated, “We are still on time and within budget to complete and submit our application for Permit to Mine at Lost Creek this September. Drilling at Lost Creek has been identifying several new areas for potential expansion of our resource base, and we expect that drilling during 2007 will increase the Lost Creek resources. Our staff and contractors have been doing an excellent job of moving the Lost Creek project forward. I fully expect that the quality of our applications will be a model that the agencies will use in evaluating future applications. We will be the first new production by a junior uranium company in the state of Wyoming.”

Lost Soldier Project

The Lost Soldier project is located approximately 14 miles (22.5 kilometres) to the northeast of the Lost Creek project. The property already has over 3,700 historic drill holes defining 14 mineralized sandstone units. NI 43-101 Compliant Resources (Roscoe Postle Associates Inc., July 10, 2006) for Lost Soldier are: 5 million pounds of U₃O₈ at 0.064% as a measured resource, 7.2 million pounds of U₃O₈ at 0.065% as an indicated resource and 1.8 million pounds of U₃O₈ at 0.055% as an inferred resource.

• All environmental baseline studies have been completed, with baseline groundwater and meteorological data collection is on-going.

• A scoping study is being completed by Pincock, Allen & Holt Engineering. This study will include an evaluation of the mineability of additional shallow uranium resources which
