ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On April 12, 2001 the Company completed a private placement of
26,062,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company at $0.08 per share, consisting
of $1,835,000 in cash and the cancellation of $250,000 of debt. A significant
portion of the funds raised in the transaction was arranged through Mr. Rudolf
J. Mueller, Winchester Group, with the balance from individual private
investors.

         The Company will register for resale these shares and an additional
15,091,950 shares of common stock. The Company has engaged the firm of
Hein+Associates LLP to perform an audit of its 1999 and 2000 year-end financial
statements to permit the filing of the registration statement. Upon completion
of the audit the Company intends to request the OTC Bulletin Board to include
the common stock in its quotation service.

         This placement and the August 2000 equity infusion of $750,000 complete
the planned transactions needed to fund the Company's non-restoration overhead
costs and land holding costs needs for approximately the next two years.
Together with the restoration funding agreement completed in October 2000 with
the Texas regulatory authorities and the Company's bonding company the Company
now has the financial resources for both the restoration and operating needs of
the Company through approximately the first quarter of 2003, assuming that the
Company is able to extend the restoration agreement for another year after its
current expiration date of December 31, 2001. The funds raised in this private
placement are to be used to fund the non-restoration overhead costs and land
holding costs of the Company until such time as the price of uranium increases
to a profitable level. Additional capital will be required to permit the Company
to commence mining operations.

         Because of the sale of the shares at $.08 per share the exercise price
for warrants issued in August 200 to purchase 5,625,000 shares of common stock
was reduced from $.20 per share to $.14 per share in accordance with the
requirements of the warrants.

         After giving effect to the sale of the shares, Mr. Mueller is the
beneficial owner of approximately 14% of the outstanding common stock of the
Company.

         Uranium Resources, Inc. is a Dallas area based uranium-mining company,
whose shares are quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol URIX. The Company
specializes in in-situ solution mining and holds substantial uranium resources
in South Texas and New Mexico.
