Cautionary statement This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are identified by words such as “expects,” “estimates,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” and other similar words. All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that Anatolia Energy Limited (“Anatolia”) and Uranium Resources Inc. (“URI”) expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including but not limited to statements relating to (i) the timing and completion of the proposed transaction between the URI and Anatolia, (ii) resulting cost savings, synergies and other expectations as a result of the proposed transaction (iii) the ability to optimize technical and operational components of a future combined business, (iv) the timing, occurrence and rates of production at the properties in the United States and Turkey, including statements regarding future growth pipeline, (v) the cost of uranium production at the properties, (vi) capital resources, capitalization and ownership, including relationships with major shareholders, (vii) additions of reserves and resources, the timing of the analysis of historical data, and the occurrence, extent and results of any future exploration program, including drilling, (viii) mineral resources and exploration results, which includes inferred resources (see “Cautionary Note Regarding References to Resources and Reserves”), (ix) future improvements in the demand for and price of uranium and growth in nuclear generating capacity, (x) adequacy of funding and access to capital markets, (xi) plans for capital management, revenue, cash generation and profits, and (xii) execution, timely closing, terms, conditions and benefits of definitive documents for URI’s sale-exchange transaction with Energy Fuels, are forward-looking statements. Because they are forward-looking, they should be evaluated in light of important risk factors and uncertainties. These risk factors and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, (i) the approval of the proposed transaction by the shareholders of Anatolia and URI, (ii) the other terms and conditions to the proposed transaction, (iii) the ability to raise additional capital in the future, (iv) worldwide demand for uranium, including specifically the spot price and long-term contract price of uranium, (v) the ability to reach agreements with any royalty holders, (vi) operating conditions at the projects, including without limitation weather conditions, (vii) government (including tribal governments) regulation of the uranium industry and the nuclear power industry, (viii) maintaining sufficient financial assurance in the form of sufficiently collateralized surety instruments, (ix) unanticipated geological, processing, regulatory and legal or other problems which may be encountered, (x) the ability to enter into and successfully close acquisitions or other material transactions, (xi) the fact that NI 43-101 reports describe various types of “resources” which are not recognized by the SEC, inferred resources are the lowest standard of resource allowed under NI 43-101 standards and may not qualify as “mineralized material” under SEC staff positions, “reserves” are defined differently by the SEC and under NI 43-101 standards (see “Cautionary Note Regarding References to Resources and Reserves”), (xii) access rights, (xiii) timely receipt of recovery and other permits from regulatory agents, and (xiv) other factors which are more fully described in the URI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings with the SEC, and Anatolia’s Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those currently anticipated. In addition, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Anatolia and URI disclaim any obligation to update or publicly announce any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. 2

GRAPHIC

Cautionary note regarding references to resources and reserves The Company discloses mineral resources, including inferred resources, pursuant to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards (CIM Standards) for reporting mineral resources and reserves, and Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101). Investors are cautioned that the requirements and terminology of NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards differ significantly from the requirements and terminology of the SEC set forth in the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”). Accordingly, the Company’s disclosures regarding mineralization may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by the Company in the reports it files with the SEC. Without limiting the foregoing, while the terms “mineral resources,” “inferred resources,” “indicated resources” and “measured mineral resources” are recognized and required by NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards, they are not recognized by the SEC and are not permitted to be used in documents filed with the SEC by companies subject to SEC Industry Guide 7. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability, and investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral resource will ever be converted into reserves. Further, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher resource category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of a feasibility study or prefeasibility study, except in rare cases. The SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant “reserves” as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit amounts. In addition, the NI 43-101 and CIM Standards definition of a “reserve” differs from the definition in SEC Industry Guide 7. In SEC Industry Guide 7, a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the mineral reserve determination is made, and a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical price (or in certain circumstances, a contract price) is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis of designated reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. URI discloses non-reserve mineralized material that is considered too speculative geologically to be categorized as reserves under SEC Industry Guide 7. Estimates of non-reserve mineralized material are subject to further exploration and development, are subject to many risks and highly speculative, and may not be converted to future reserves of URI. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of such non-reserve mineralized material exists, or is economically or legally extractible. Mineralized material that is not reserves does not have any demonstrated economic viability. 4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT This presentation is being provided in respect of the proposed acquisition of Anatolia by URI and related matters. In connection with the proposed transaction, URI will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a proxy statement and will mail or otherwise disseminate the proxy statement and a form of proxy to its stockholders when it becomes available. STOCKHOLDERS AND INVESTORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT (AND OTHER RELEVANT MATERIALS) REGARDING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE, AND BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, AS IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTION. Stockholders and investors will be able to obtain a free copy of the proxy statement (when available), as well as other filings made by URI regarding URI, Anatolia and the proposed transaction, without charge, at the SEC website at www.sec.gov. In addition, documents filed with the SEC by URI will be available free of charge on the investor section of URI’s website at www.uraniumresources.com. URI and certain of its directors and executive officers may be deemed, under SEC rules, to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from URI’s stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction.
