Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2010


(expressed in Canadian dollars)


1.
Nature of operations

Ur-Energy Inc. (the "Company") is a development stage junior mining company headquartered in Littleton, Colorado, engaged in the identification, acquisition, evaluation, exploration and development of uranium mineral properties primarily in the United States with additional exploration interests in Canada.  Due to the nature of the uranium mining methods to be used by the Company on the Lost Creek property, and the definition of “mineral reserves” under NI 43-101, which uses the CIM Definition Standards, the Company has not determined whether the properties contain mineral reserves.  However, the Company’s April 2008 “NI 43-101 Preliminary Assessment for the Lost Creek Project Sweetwater County, Wyoming” outlines the economic viability of the Lost Creek project, which is currently in the permitting process with state and federal regulators.  The recoverability of amounts recorded for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable resources, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to develop the properties and upon attaining future profitable production from the properties or sufficient proceeds from disposition of the properties.

2.
Significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

Ur-Energy Inc. was incorporated on March 22, 2004 under the laws of the Province of Ontario.  The Company continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on August 8, 2006.  These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and include all of the assets, liabilities and expenses of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Ur-Energy USA Inc., NFU Wyoming, LLC, Lost Creek ISR, LLC, NFUR Bootheel, LLC, Hauber Project LLC, NFUR Hauber, LLC, ISL Resources Corporation, ISL Wyoming, Inc. and CBM-Energy Inc.  All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.  Ur-Energy Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”.

The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements conform to those used in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the periods presented.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Equity investments

In the third quarter of 2009, the other member of The Bootheel Project, LLC (the “Project”) completed its earn-in requirement by spending US$3.0 million and now has a 75% interest in the Project with the Company retaining the other 25%.  From the date of the earn-in, the other member is now required to fund 75% of the Project’s expenditures and the Company the remaining 25%. As the Company is no longer the controlling member of the Project, the Project is now accounted for using the equity accounting method with the Company’s proportionate share of the Project’s loss included in the Statement of Operations from the date of earn-in and the Company’s net investment reflected on the Balance Sheet.

8.
Asset retirement obligation

The Company has recorded $496,349 for asset retirement obligations (December 31, 2009 – $503,712) which represents an estimate of costs that would be incurred to remediate the exploration and development properties.  The retirement obligations recorded relate entirely to exploration and development drill holes, related monitor wells and site disturbance on the Company's U.S. properties.
