PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD June 4, 2008

        This Proxy Statement is furnished to stockholders of Uranium Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") to be held at the Grand Hyatt, Park Avenue at Grand Central, New York, New York 10017 on June 4, 2008, at 9:00 a.m., local time, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and the enclosed Proxy will first be sent to stockholders is April 29, 2008.


ACTION TO BE TAKEN AT THE MEETING

        Shares represented by a properly executed proxy, unless the stockholder otherwise instructs in the Proxy, will be voted (a) for the election of the six individuals named under the caption Election of Directors as directors of the Company; (b) for the ratification of the selection of Hein & Associates, LLP, independent accountants, as independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008; and (c) at the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matter or business that may be properly presented at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Where a stockholder properly executes a proxy and gives instructions on how his shares are to be voted, the shares will be voted in accordance with those instructions.

        A proxy may be revoked at any time by a stockholder before it is exercised by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company, or by signing and delivering a proxy which is dated later, or, if the stockholder attends the Meeting in person, by either notice of revocation to the inspectors of election at the Meeting or by voting at the Meeting.

        The only matters that management intends to present at the Meeting are the two matters referenced in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above. If any other matter or business is properly presented at the Meeting, the proxy holders will vote upon it in accordance with their best judgment.


OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES
REQUISITE VOTE

        The record date for the Meeting is April 24, 2008. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. At the close of business on that date, there were issued and outstanding 52,305,129 shares of the Company's Common Stock entitled to one vote per share. In the election of directors, cumulative voting is not allowed. One third of the outstanding Common Stock, present in person or by Proxy and entitled to vote, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting.

        Under Delaware law and the Company's Bylaws, if a quorum is present at the Meeting: (i) to be elected a director, each nominee must receive a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or by Proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter and (ii) the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or by Proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is required to ratify the selection of Hein & Associates, LLP, as independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal



year ending December 31, 2008, and approve any other matter submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Meeting.

        In the election of directors, any action other than a vote for a nominee will have the practical effect of voting against the nominee. Abstention from voting on any matter presented at the Meeting will have the practical effect of voting against any such matter since it is one less vote for approval. Broker non-votes on any matter will not be considered "shares present" for voting purposes. "Broker non-votes" include shares for which a bank, broker or other nominee (i.e., record) holder has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and for which the nominee holder does not have discretionary power to vote on a particular matter. Under the rules that govern brokers who are record owners of shares that are held in brokerage accounts for the beneficial owners of the shares, brokers who do not receive voting instructions from their clients have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on routine matters but have no discretion to vote them on non-routine matters. The proposals to be voted upon at the annual meeting include only routine matters, the election of directors and the ratification of independent auditors.

A copy of the Amended Code of Ethics can be found on the Company's Web site or a copy will be furnished without charge upon request to our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at the Company's principal executive offices.

Board and Committees of the Board; Meetings

        The Board of Directors held thirteen formal meetings through both direct meetings and telephonic meetings during the year ended December 31, 2007. Mr. Erdahl, Mr. Clark and Mr. Cryan attended each meeting. Mr. Willmott attended twelve of thirteen meetings. Mr. Ireland attended nine of thirteen meetings and Mr. Kaiser attended all five of the meetings held while he was a Board member. The Company's officers have made a practice of keeping directors informed of corporate activities by personal meetings and telephone discussions.

        Mr. Erdahl, Mr. Ireland, Mr. Cryan and Mr. Kaiser are independent directors under the requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market as determined by our Board of Directors.

        The Company has four standing committees of the Board of Directors—Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating Committee and Strategic Planning Committee. Mr. Kaiser, Mr. Ireland and Mr. Cryan are currently members of the Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Strategic Planning Committees. Mr. Erdahl is a member of the Compensation Committee, Nominating Committee and Strategic Planning Committee. Mr. Clark is a member of the Strategic Planning Committee.

        During 2007, the Audit Committee held five formal meetings, the Compensation Committee held three formal meetings, the Nominating Committee held one formal meeting and the Strategic Planning Committee held three formal meetings. The Audit Committee met in March 2008 with the Company's auditors to review the 2007 fiscal year audit.

        The Company's Board of Directors has reviewed the qualifications of those serving on our audit committee and has determined that we have at least one audit committee financial expert serving on our audit committee. Mr. Kaiser has been designated as our audit committee financial expert. Mr. Kaiser serves as chairman of the audit committee and is independent of the management of the Company. Mr. Kaiser is a Certified Public Accountant and has served on audit committees of other public companies as a member. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which can be found on the Company's Web site www.uraniumresources.com.

        The Company has a standing Nominating Committee and the activities of the Nominating Committee are governed by its charter, a copy of which can be found on the Company's Web site. Each member of the Nominating Committee is an independent director under the requirements of the NASDAQ National Market as determined by our Board of Directors. Mr. Ireland is Chairman of the Nominating Committee.

        When considering potential candidates for election to the Company's Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee evaluates various criteria, including, but not limited to, each candidate's business and professional skills, experience serving as management or on the board of directors of companies similar to the Company, financial literacy, personal integrity and judgment. One or more directors must have requisite financial expertise to qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934.

        The Nominating Committee reviews the qualifications and backgrounds of the directors, as well as the overall composition of the Board from time to time. In the case of any candidate for a vacant

8


Board seat, the Nominating Committee will consider whether such candidate meets the applicable independence standards and the level of the candidate's financial expertise. Any new candidates will be interviewed by the Nominating Committee, and the full Board will approve the final nomination.

        The Nominating Committee does not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by stockholders. At this time such a policy is unnecessary given that the size of the Board is small and that each person who has been nominated to serve on the Company's Board of Directors is a current director standing for re-election.

        The Company has a standing Compensation Committee and the activities of the Compensation Committee are governed by its charter, a copy of which can be found on the Company's Web site. Each member of the Compensation Committee is an independent director under the requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market as determined by our Board of Directors. Mr. Cryan is Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee discharges the Board of Director's responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company's directors and executives and is responsible for producing the annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in this Proxy Statement. The Compensation Committee also administers the Company's stock option plans for employees and directors. The primary objective of the Compensation Committee is to develop and implement compensation policies and plans that are appropriate for the Company in light of all relevant circumstances and which provide employee retention and performance incentives that further the Company's long-term strategic plan and are consistent with the overall goal of enhancing enduring stockholder value.

        Additional duties of the Compensation Committee include reviewing and approving the corporate goals and objectives that may be relevant to the compensation of the Company's chief executive officer and chief operating officer and evaluating such officers' performance in light of the Company's goals. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves the recommendations of the chief executive officer and chief operating officer with regard to all the other officers of the Company.

        The Compensation Committee shall meet at least two times each year and more frequently as the Compensation Committee in its discretion deems desirable. The Compensation Committee is governed by the same rules regarding meetings, action without meetings, notice, waiver of notice and quorum and voting requirements as are applicable to the Board of Directors. Subject to the authority of the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee will have the authority, and shall have the funding from the Company, to retain such outside consultants as it determines appropriate to carry out its duties. In addition, the Compensation Committee shall evaluate its performance on an annual basis and provide any written material with respect to such evaluation to the Board of Directors, including any recommendations for changes in procedures or policies governing the Committee.

        The Strategic Planning Committee does not have a charter. Its function is to recommend the strategic direction of the Company. Mr. Clark is chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee.

Report of the Audit Committee

        The Audit Committee was established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The Audit Committee approves and recommends to the Board the election, retention or termination of the independent registered public accounting firm ("auditors"); approves services to be rendered by the auditors and the related compensation; monitors the auditors' performance; reviews the results of the Company's audit; determines whether to recommend to the Board that the Company's audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report; reviews the Company's systems of internal control and responds to other matters outlined in the Audit Committee Charter and reports to the Board thereon. Each Audit Committee member is

9



"independent" as defined under applicable listing standards and none is an "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act.

        The committee reviews the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal financial controllership, for preparing the financial statements and for the public reporting process. Hein & Associates LLP, our company's independent auditor for 2007, is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of the company's audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles and on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. In addition, Hein & Associates LLP will express its own opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting.

        In this context, the committee reviewed and discussed with management and Hein & Associates LLP the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting and Hein & Associates LLP's evaluation of the company's internal control over financial reporting. The committee has discussed with Hein & Associates LLP the matters that are required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication With Audit Committees), as may be modified or supplemented. Hein & Associates LLP has provided to the committee the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as may be modified or supplemented, and the committee discussed with Hein & Associates LLP that firm's independence. The committee also concluded that Hein & Associates LLP's provision of audit and non-audit services to the Company and its affiliates is compatible with Hein & Associates LLP's independence.

        Based on the considerations referred to above, the committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for 2007 and selected Hein & Associates LLP as the independent auditor for the Company for 2008. This report is provided by the following independent directors, who constitute the committee:

    Marvin K. Kaiser (Chairman)
    George R. Ireland
    Terence J. Cryan

Process for Stockholders to send Communications to the Board

        The Board has not adopted any policy regarding the communication by stockholders with the Board. Any stockholder desiring to communicate with one or more Board Members should contact Thomas H. Ehrlich, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company at 972-219-3330 and he will arrange the communication.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

        Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) filings.

        Directors and officers of the Company have filed all required Form 4's and Form 5's.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

        The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors oversees the Company's compensation programs, which are designed specifically for the Company's most senior executives officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the other executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table (collectively, the "named executive officers"). Additionally, the Compensation Committee is charged with the review and approval of all annual compensation decisions relating to named executive officers.

        The Compensation Committee is composed entirely of independent, non-management members of the Board of Directors. No Compensation Committee member participates in any of the Company's employee compensation programs. Each year the Company reviews any and all relationships that each director has with the Company and the Board of Directors subsequently reviews these findings. The Board of Directors has determined that none of the Compensation Committee members have any material business relationships with the Company.

        The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee, as stated in its charter, include the following:

    review and assess the adequacy of the Compensation Committee charter annually and submit any proposed changes to the Board of Directors for approval;

    produce an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement relating to its annual meeting of stockholders;

    review and make such recommendations to the Board of Directors as the Compensation Committee deems advisable with regard to all incentive-based compensation plans and equity-based plans;

    review and approve the corporate goals and objectives that may be relevant to the compensation of the Company's chief executive officer and chief operating officer;

    evaluate the chief executive officer's and chief operating officer's performance in light of the goals and objectives that were set and determine and approve the chief executive officer's and chief operating officer's compensation based on such evaluation; and

    review and approve the recommendations of the chief executive officer and/or chief operating officer with regard to the compensation of all officers of the Company other than the chief executive officer and chief operating officer.

    Objectives of Compensation Program

        The primary objectives of our compensation program are to (i) design competitive total compensation and rewards programs to enhance the Company's ability to attract and retain knowledgeable and experienced senior executives, (ii) drive and reward performance which supports the Company's core values, (iii) provide a percentage of total compensation that is "at-risk", or variable, based on predetermined performance criteria, (iv) require significant stock holdings to align the interests of named executive officers with those of stockholders, and (v) set compensation and incentive levels that reflect competitive market practices.

    What Our Compensation Program is Designed to Reward

        The Company's compensation program is designed to reward exceptional organizational and individual performance.

11


    Elements of Company's Compensation Plan and Why We Chose Each (How It Relates to Objectives)

        In furtherance of the Company's compensation objectives and to reward exceptional organization and individual performance, the Company's compensation program includes a base salary component, performance goals component (both financial and non-financial), stock incentive component, and retirement, health and welfare benefit component, each of which is reviewed by the Compensation Committee collectively in establishing the various forms and levels of the compensation program. The Company does not have an exact formula for allocating between cash and non-cash compensation.

    (i)    Base Salary

        We establish base salaries for our executives based on the scope of their responsibilities, and take into account competitive market compensation paid by comparable uranium industry companies. For 2007, such peers included Denison Mines, Laramide Resources, Strathmore Minerals, Uranium One, Uranium Energy, Energy Metals, Cameco, and Palladin. Base salaries are adjusted annually, and from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience.

    (ii)   Performance Goals

        Financial.    The Compensation Committee believes that a significant portion of each` senior executive's compensation should be tied to the Company's performance measured against profitability and stockholder value creation. By doing so, named executive officers have the incentive of increasing Company profitability and stockholder return. The Company measures financial performance awards against certain (i) production targets, (ii) production cost targets, and (iii) budget targets. During periods when performance meets or exceeds these established financial objectives, named executive officers should be paid at or more than expected levels. When the Company's performance does not meet key financial objectives, named executive officers should be paid less than expected levels. Performance goals have changed from time to time and will continue to change as the conditions of the Company and the uranium market evolve.

        Non-Financial.    The Compensation Committee also believes that a significant portion of a senior executive's compensation should be tied to the Company's performance as a whole measured against the Company's performance in relation to its

(a)
performance goals:

        (i)    continued viability of the company as a going concern through the low price cycle for uranium concentrate and as conditions permit develop a strong balance sheet;

        (ii)   maximizing shareholder value;

        (iii)  develop and implement strategy for market competitiveness in acquiring additional properties for uranium resources for future development and operation;

        (iv)  continued retention of existing uranium properties and resources for development and operation at a time when an economic cycle for uranium selling prices returns; and

        (v)   continued retention of a valuable cadre of personnel for future development and operation of uranium properties in the United States, and

(b)
core values:

        (i)    safety,

        (ii)   community involvement,

        (iii)  environmental friendliness,

12


        (iv)  development of future leaders, and

        (vi)  adherence with a strict code of ethics.

During periods when performance meets or exceeds these established non-financial objectives, named executive officers should be paid at or more than expected levels. When the Company's performance does not meet or exceed these established non-financial objectives, named executive officers should be paid less than expected levels. Performance goals have changed from time to time and will continue to change as the conditions of the company and the uranium market evolve.

    (iii)  Stock Incentive Compensation

The 1995 and 2004 Stock Incentive Plans

        The Company has two stock Incentive Plans for Employees, each of which was approved by the Company's stockholders. Under the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1995 Plan") 2,600,521 shares may be purchased upon the exercise of outstanding options with exercise prices ranging from $0.76 to $28.50 per share. No new options may be granted under the 1995 Plan. Under the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan") a total of 1,750,000 shares may be purchased upon exercise of options granted under the 2004 Plan. At December 31, 2006 there were outstanding under the 2004 Plan options for the purchase of 1,722,688 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.97 to $5.19 per share. At December 31, 2007, 30,500 shares were available for future grants under the 2004 Plan. Employee stock options generally vest ratably over a 3 or 4 year time frame and have a contractual term of 10 years.

        An important objective of the stock incentive program is to strengthen the relationship between the long-term value of our stock price and the potential financial gain for employees. Stock options provide employees with the opportunity to purchase our Common Stock at a price fixed on the grant date regardless of future market price. A stock option becomes valuable only if our Common Stock price increases above the option exercise price (at which point the option will be deemed "in-the-money") and the holder of the option remains employed during the period required for the option to "vest" thus, providing an incentive for an option holder to remain employed by the Company. In addition, stock options link a portion of an employee's compensation to stockholders' interests by providing an incentive to increase the market price of our stock.

        The exercise prices of all stock options granted to the named executive officers as of December 31, 2007 are shown in the Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table on page 19. Additional information on these grants, including the number of shares subject to each grant, also is shown in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.

        Awards from our stock incentive compensation plans are granted periodically. The exercise price for each stock option is the market value on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee may approve stock option awards to a new employee at the time he or she is hired if the Compensation Committee determines that he or she can substantially contribute to meeting the performance goals of the company. It has been the Company's practice not to make any stock option awards to employees during a period when there is material non public information.

        Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Plans) of the Company, all stock options granted under the 2004 Plan will become exercisable in full. Also, in the event the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another Company, as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, merger or otherwise, each share subject to an unexercised option will be substituted for the number and kind of shares into which each share of outstanding Common Stock is to be changed or for which each such share is to be exchanged and the option price will be increased or decreased proportionately.

13


        Option holders generally forfeit any unvested options if their employment with the Company terminates, except that upon, death or disability while employed with the Company then outstanding stock options may be exercised within the one year period ending on the anniversary of such death or permanent and total disability to the same extent that the option was exercisable on the date of death or disability.

        In 2007 the Compensation Committee retained GK Partners, a compensation consulting firm, to advise it on establishing appropriate criteria for considering stock incentive compensation grants to executive officers.

The 2007 Restricted Stock Plan

        The 2007 Restricted Stock Plan (the "2007 Plan"), which was approved by the shareholders at the Company's 2007 annual meeting held on July 12, 2007, provides eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiary corporations with the opportunity to increase their ownership interest in the Company through the receipt of restricted shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company granted and issued by the Company, from time to time subject to the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan ("Restricted Stock"). Any such grants of Restricted Stock made to eligible employees are subject to the provisions and limitations of Sections 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). No restricted stock plan grants were awarded in 2007. The 2007 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.

        The purpose of the 2007 Plan is to retain and motivate the managers and key employees of the Company, and of any subsidiary corporation of the Company, by enabling such managers and key employees to acquire new or additional stock ownership in the Company, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in the Company's business and enhancing their mutual and personal interest in the Company's success. For purposes of the 2007 Plan, a "subsidiary corporation" consists of any corporation at least fifty percent (50%) of whose voting power (taking into account all classes of stock) is directly or indirectly owned by the Company.

        Grants may be made from time to time to those managers and key employees of the Company or any subsidiary corporation, who are designated by the Compensation Committee in its sole and exclusive discretion (individually, a "Grantee"; collectively, the "Grantees"). Grantees may include, but shall not necessarily be limited to officers of the Company and officers of subsidiary corporations. The Compensation Committee may make more than one Restricted Stock grant to the same Grantee, and the provisions of Restricted Stock grants need not be the same with respect to each Grantee. No shares of Restricted Stock shall be granted to any manager or key employee during any period of time when such manager or key employee is on an unpaid leave of absence.

        Subject to certain limitations, no more than one million, five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares of Common Stock can be issued under the 2007 Plan. The number of shares of Restricted Stock which may be granted to any manager or key employee in any calendar year may not exceed five hundred thousand (500,000) shares.

        Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued under the 2007 Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan is intended to enable the Company to make Restricted Stock grants exclusively, and no other form of compensation or stock award is authorized under the 2007 Plan. The Compensation Committee may determine the duration of the period during which a participant is restricted from selling, transferring, pledging or assigning the shares that are the subject of any Restricted Stock grant. This restricted period may also be referred to as the vesting period for any such grants.

        Unless otherwise specified by the Compensation Committee, the term of the restricted period for any Restricted Stock grant under the 2007 Plan shall not be less than five years from the date of grant.

14


However, the Compensation Committee may provide for vesting in intermediate steps or installments (provided, however, that no step or installment shall vest before one year from the date of grant). The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, condition the early lapse of restrictions (i.e., early vesting) of Restricted Stock grants upon the attainment of specified performance goals as determined at the time of grant, including (but not limited to) financial performance goals such as stock price targets, cumulative earnings per share or return on equity. The Compensation Committee may also condition the vesting of Restricted Stock grants on such other factors as it may, in its sole discretion, determine.

        Employee participants who receive Restricted Stock grants will have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote the shares of Restricted Stock that are the subject of the grant and the right to receive any regular cash dividends paid out of current earnings. The Compensation Committee may permit or require the payment of cash dividends to be reinvested in additional Restricted Stock to the extent shares are available under the 2007 Plan. Stock dividends, splits and distributions issued with respect to Restricted Stock will be treated as additional shares of Restricted Stock that are subject to the same restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to the shares with respect to which such dividends are issued. Any other dividends or property distributed with regard to Restricted Stock, other than regular dividends payable and paid out of current earnings, will be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock.

    (iv)  Retirement, Health and Welfare Benefits

        The Company offers a variety of health and welfare and retirement programs to all eligible employees. The named executive officers generally are eligible for the same benefit programs on the same basis as the rest of the broad-based employees. The Company's health and welfare programs include medical, dental and vision. In addition to the foregoing, the named executive officers are eligible to participate in the following programs:

        Supplemental Health Care Plan.    The Company has adopted a health care plan (the "Supplemental Plan") for the Company's named executive officers and certain of its other employees, which supplements the standard health care plan available to all eligible employees (the "Standard Plan"). The Supplemental Plan pays directly to the participant 80% of all out-of-pocket medical and dental expenses not covered under the Standard Plan, including deductibles and co-insurance amounts. Additionally, the Supplemental Plan provides to each participant $100,000 of accidental death and dismemberment insurance protection and a worldwide medical assistance benefit. Each participant in the Supplemental Plan will receive a maximum annual benefit of $100,000. The Company pays an annual premium under the Supplemental Plan equal to $250 per participant plus 10% of claims paid. In addition to other officers and employees, the named executive officers covered by the Supplemental Plan are Paul K. Willmott, Richard A. Van Horn, Mark S. Pelizza, Thomas H. Ehrlich, David N. Clark, Craig S. Bartels and William M. McKnight, Jr..

        401(k) Profit Sharing Plan.    The Company maintains a defined contribution profit sharing plan for employees (the "401(k)") that is administered by a committee of trustees appointed by the Company. All Company employees are eligible to participate upon the completion of six months of employment, subject to minimum age requirements. Each year the Company makes a contribution to the 401(k) without regard to current or accumulated net profits of the Company. These contributions are allocated to participants in amounts equal to 25% (or a higher percentage, determined at the Company's discretion) of the participants' contributions, up to 4% of each participant's gross pay. For the plan year ended July 31, 2006, the Company contributed amounts equal to 100% of the participant's contributions, up to 4% of gross pay. Participants become 20% vested in their Company contribution account for each year of service until full vesting occurs upon the completion of five years of service. Distributions are made upon retirement, death or disability in a lump sum or in installments.

15


        Deferred Compensation Plans.    The Company has four separate deferred compensation plans covering the years 1999 through 2004. Under these plans executive officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries were permitted to defer up to 100% of their 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 salary with payment thereof to be made on January 11, 2011. On or before that date, the participant may elect to receive the deferred amount in shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at a weighted average of $0.71 per share under the 1999 deferred compensation plan and $0.80 per share under the 2000-2004 plans. As of December 31, 2007, a total of $789,228 has been deferred under such plans. In 2007, no elections were made to convert deferred compensation into shares of Common Stock under the 1999 plan or under the plans for the years 2000 through 2004.

    (v)   Competitive Compensation Program

        The Compensation Committee reviews the overall compensation of executives at peer companies to ensure that the compensation program is competitive. For 2007, such peers included Denison Mines, Laramide Resources, Strathmore Minerals, Uranium One, Uranium Energy, Energy Metals, Cameco, and Palladin. The Compensation Committee focused on such peers salary levels, performance bonuses, long term incentive compensation, and any other relevant executive compensation to provide a base of comparison. The Company believes that a competitive compensation program will enhance its ability to attract and retain senior executives. The Compensation Committee has recently retained GK Partners, an executive compensation consultant, to advise the Compensation Committee on developing appropriate financial metrics to be used in settling executive compensation. The Company does not have a long term contract in place with GK Partners.

    How the Company Chose Amounts and/or Formulas for Each Element

        The Compensation Committee reviews, on an annual basis, each compensation package for the named executive officers. The Company does not have an exact formula for allocating between cash and non-cash compensation. In each case, the Compensation Committee takes into account each named executive officers (i) current and prior compensation, (ii) scope of responsibilities, (iii) experience, (iv) comparable market salaries, and (v) the Company's achievement of performance goals (both financial and non-financial). The Compensation Committee also (i) has the opportunity to meet with the named executive officers at various times during the year, which allows the Compensation Committee to form its own assessment of each individual's performance, and (ii) reviews the report of the Chief Executive Officer presented to the Compensation Committee, evaluating each of the other named executive officers, including a review of their contributions and performance over the past year, strengths, weaknesses, development plans and succession potential.

        Upon review of each of the above named items, and after giving particular consideration to Mr. Van Horn's knowledge and experience in developing and operating uranium deposits, Mr. Ehrlich's knowledge of accounting rules and regulations governing the accounting for uranium operations, and Mr. Clark's knowledge and experience in (i) the uranium industry, (ii) marketing of uranium concentrate, and (iii) developing a strategic plan of operations for the company, the Compensation Committee approved the following increases to each named executive officer's base salary:

    Mr. Clark's base salary was increased from $240,000 to $270,000;.

    Mr. Van Horn's base salary was increased from $210,000 to $240,000 and

    Mr. Ehrlich's base salary was increased from $165,000 to $190,000.

The above-referenced adjustments to base salary reflect the Compensation Committee's total compensation adjustments for officers of the Company.

16


        The Compensation Committee, as of the date hereof, has not determined whether performance based awards will be granted for 2007. The Compensation Committee intends to make such determination shortly.

        No stock option awards were made during 2007 to any of the executive officers. Executive officers of the Company had received long term incentive stock option grants in prior years which were not yet fully vested and the Compensation Committee determined that there was not an additional need to issue additional incentive compensation awards.

    Mr. Clark's Compensation

        On August 6, 2007, Mr. Willmott stepped down as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and remained as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Willmott's annual base salary as Executive Chairman was set at $150,000 at that time. Mr. Clark was hired in October, 2006 at a base annual salary of $240,000 as President and Chief Operating Officer and assumed the duties of (i) supervising the day to day activities of the Company's operations and (ii) developing and implementing a strategy for the Company's participation in the renaissance of the nuclear power industry in the United States and worldwide. Mr. Clark's experience in developing strategic plans for the uranium industry was deemed to be extremely important to the Company as the uranium mining and nuclear power industry began to undergo dramatic changes throughout the world. It was therefore the judgment of the Compensation Committee that we should structure Mr. Clark's compensation package to both align his financial interest with that of the shareholders and incentivize him to remain with the Company for a longer period of time in a very competitive environment for experienced uranium industry executives. The Compensation Committee also reviewed the compensation packages of its peer group companies in reaching a determination as to the size and terms of Mr. Clark's compensation package. Based on the above factors and determinations, he was granted a stock option to purchase 800,000 shares, subject to vesting over time.

        Mr. Clark was named Chief Executive Officer of the Company on August 6, 2007 and his compensation was increased from $240,000 to $270,000 at that time.

Grant of Plan Based Awards

        There were no stock options or restricted stock awards granted in 2007.

Employment Agreements

        We have standard agreements in place for our key employees that become effective in the event of a change in control. The Committee has made the determination that such agreements are necessary to retain key employees during the process leading to a possible change in control and insure that such employees can proceed to review the elements regarding the change in control in the best regard for shareholders without concern for continued salary payments if the change in control in fact does occur. The amount of the compensation payable to any particular employee is based on the compensation earned by such employee immediately prior to the change in control. Except for these agreements, we have not employment contracts with employees.

Outstanding Awards at Fiscal Year-End

        The following table shows outstanding stock option awards classified as exercisable and unexercisable as of December 31, 2007 for the named executive officers. The table also shows unvested and unearned stock awards (both time-based awards and performance-contingent) assuming a market value of $5.80 a share (the closing market price of the Company's stock on December 29, 2007).

    Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

        In June 1997, the Company entered into Compensation Agreements with each of Messrs. Willmott, Van Horn, Pelizza, Ehrlich and in February 2007, with Messrs. Clark and Bartels that provide that, in the event of a change in control, such officers will have certain rights and benefits for a period of thirty-six months for Mr. Willmott and twenty-four months for the other officers, following such change in control.

        For purposes of the Compensation Agreements, a "change in control" means (a) the consummation of any transaction pursuant to which any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 51% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company; or (b) a change in the composition of a majority of the Board of Directors within twelve months after any person is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company.

        Rights under the Compensation Agreement will be triggered in the event that, following a change in control, the executive's employment is terminated by (a) the Company without cause; or (ii) by the executive if (i) the executive is assigned substantial duties or responsibilities that are materially inconsistent with the executive's position, duties, responsibilities or status during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the Change in Control; (ii) the executive's base compensation is reduced or the executive experiences in any year a reduction in the ratio of the executive's incentive compensation payment to the executive's base compensation in such year which is greater than the average reduction in the ratio of incentive compensation payments to base compensation in such year experienced by all of the Company's other salaried officers; or (iii) the executive is transferred to a location (other than Albuquerque, New Mexico) which is an unreasonable distance from the executive's current principal work location.

        Assuming a change in control occurred on December 29, 2007, the total estimated compensation that would be paid in the aggregate under the Compensation Agreements to these six executive officers is $2.7 million. The Compensation Agreements provide that the base salary payments shall be made on a monthly basis for the duration of the term and incentive payments shall be paid annually until the obligation to make such payments expires.

    Director Compensation

        On June 2, 2004 the Company adopted the 2004 Amended and Restated Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "2004 Directors' Plan"). Under the 2004 Directors' Plan, each non-employee Director elected or appointed to the Board of Directors for the first time will be granted an option to purchase fifty thousand (50,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock and each Non-Employee Director will be granted an option to purchase fifty thousand (50,000) shares either (a) upon his or her re-election at an annual meeting of the Company's stockholders, or (b) in any calendar year in which an annual meeting of stockholders is not held, on June 1 of such year.

        Compensation for 2007 for the non-employee directors was earned at the rate of $4,000 per quarter plus $1,200 per meeting attended. The Chairman of the Audit Committee earns compensation at the rate of $1,250 per quarter and each non-employee director earns $600 for each meeting of the Audit Committee attended. The Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee earns compensation at the rate of $1,250 per quarter and each non-employee director earns $600 for each meeting attended. Non-employee members of the Strategic Planning Committee are also compensated at a rate of $2,000 per day, and a pro rata portion thereof for less that a full eight hour day for non-meeting work performed by a Strategic Planning Committee member. Non-employee members of the Compensation and Nominating Committees earn $600 for each such meeting attended.

        The following table summarizes all compensation earned by the Company's directors in the year ended December 31, 2007.
