Our Company

We were organized in 1977 to mine uranium in the United States by using an in situ recovery (ISR) mining method, a process by which groundwater is fortified with an oxidizing agent and pumped into the ore body causing the uranium contained to dissolve.  The resulting solution is then pumped to the surface where it is further processed into uranium concentrates that are shipped to a conversion facility for sale to our customers.  This ISR process is generally more cost effective and environmentally benign than conventional mining techniques.

As of April 24, 2007, we had 52,086,500 shares of Common Stock outstanding. On that date, there were 170 holders of record.

6




As of December 31, 2006, we had 121 employees, including eight geologists, ten engineers and two certified public accountants. We have field offices at Kingsville Dome, Vasquez, Rosita and Crownpoint, New Mexico.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Common Stock will provide you with an equity ownership in Uranium Resources. As one of our stockholders, you will be subject to risks inherent to our business. The trading price of your shares will be affected by the performance of our business relative to, among other things, competition, market conditions and general economic and industry conditions. The value of your investment may decrease, resulting in a loss. You should carefully consider the following factors as well as other information contained in this Prospectus before deciding to invest in shares of our Common Stock.

The factors identified below are important factors (but not necessarily all of the important factors) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company, pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Where any such forward- looking statement includes a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying such forward-looking statement, we caution that, while we believe such assumptions or bases to be reasonable and make them in good faith, assumed facts or bases almost always vary from actual results, and the differences between assumed facts or bases and actual results can be material, depending upon the circumstances. Where, in any forward-looking statement, the Company, or its management, expresses an expectation or belief as to the future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation or belief will result, or be achieved or accomplished. Taking into account the foregoing, the following are identified as important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company.

Our ability to function as an operating mining company is dependent on our ability to mine our properties at a profit sufficient to finance further mining activities and for the acquisition and development of additional properties.

Our ability to operate on a positive cash flow basis is dependent on mining sufficient quantities of uranium at a profit sufficient to finance our operations and for the acquisition and development of additional mining properties.  Our failure to achieve or maintain profitable mining operations could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The Navajo Nation ban on uranium mining in Indian country encompasses some of our properties in New Mexico and will adversely affect our ability to mine unless the ban is overturned.

In April 2005, the Navajo Nation Council passed the Diné Natural Resources Protection Act of 2005 prohibiting uranium mining and processing on any sites within Indian Country.  Some of our New Mexico properties have been determined to be Indian country and the status of others as Indian country is in dispute.  We believe that the ban is  beyond the jurisdiction of the Navajo Nation.  However, the ban may prevent us from developing and operating the properties until the jurisdictional issues is resolved.

8




In February 2007 the USEPA determined that Section 8 of our Churchrock property was Indian country and that the USEPA and not the state of New Mexico has the authority to issue the UIC permits for Section 8 that are a precondition to mining.  We are appealing that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.  If we are unable to appeal the USEPA’s decision, our mining operations at our Churchrock property could be adversely affected which could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

As of December 31, 2006, we identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and concluded that our disclosure controls were not effective.  If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal and disclosure controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.  As a result, investors may be misled and lose confidence in our financial reporting and disclosures and the price of our common stock may be negatively affected.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we report annually on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Among other things, we must perform systems and process evaluation and testing.  We must also conduct an assessment of our internal controls to allow management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In connection with the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting for this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, as further described in Item 9A, management and our registered public accounting firm determined that as of December 31, 2006 our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Although we have made and are continuing to make improvements in our internal controls, if we are unsuccessful in remediating the material weakness impacting our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls, or if we discover other deficiencies, it may adversely impact our ability to report accurately and in a timely manner our financial condition and results of operations in the future, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our financial reporting and may negatively affect the price of our Common Stock. Moreover, effective internal and disclosure controls are necessary to produce accurate, reliable financial reports and to prevent fraud.  If we continue to have deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls, they may negatively impact our business and operations.

Our inability to obtain financial surety would threaten our ability to continue in business.

Future bonding requirements will increase significantly when future development and production occurs at our sites in Texas and New Mexico. The amount of the bonding for each producing property is subject to annual review and revision by regulators. We expect that the issuer of the bonds will require us to provide cash collateral equal to the face amount of the bond to secure the obligation. If we cannot provide adequate cash collateral to meet bonding requirements, our development and production activities at the affected sites could be adversely impacted.

9




Because we have limited capital, inherent mining risks pose a significant threat to us.

Because we are small with limited capital, we are unable to withstand significant losses that can result from inherent risks associated with mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, flooding, interruptions due to weather conditions and other acts of nature. Such risks could result in damage to or destruction of our wellfield infrastructure and production facilities, as well as to adjacent properties, personal injury, environmental damage and processing and production delays, causing monetary losses and possible legal liability.

More stringent federal and state regulations could adversely affect our business.

If we are unable to obtain or maintain permits or water rights for development of our properties or otherwise fail to manage adequately future environmental issues, our operations could be materially and adversely affected. We have expended significant resources, both financial and managerial, to comply with environmental protection laws, regulations and permitting requirements and we anticipate that we will be required to continue to do so in the future. Although we believe our properties comply in all material respects with all relevant permits, licenses and regulations pertaining to worker health and safety as well as those pertaining to the environment and radioactive materials, the historical trend toward stricter environmental regulation may continue. Compliance with any material change in laws applicable to us could require significant expenditures of our capital resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The volatility of uranium prices makes long-range planning uncertain and raising capital difficult.

The price of uranium is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including the demand for nuclear power, political and economic conditions, and legislation and production and costs of production of our competitors.  A significant decrease in the price or uranium could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

The only market for uranium is nuclear power plants world wide, and there are only a few customers.

We are dependent on a small number of electric utilities that buy uranium for nuclear power plants. Because of the limited market for uranium, a reduction in purchases of newly-produced uranium by electric utilities for any reason (such as plant closings) would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Public acceptance of nuclear energy is uncertain.

Maintaining the demand for uranium at current levels and future growth in demand will depend upon acceptance of nuclear technology as a means of generating electricity. Lack of public acceptance of nuclear technology would adversely affect the demand for nuclear power and increase the regulation of the nuclear power industry, which could have a negative impact on our business.

10




Our inability to obtain insurance would threaten our ability to continue in business.

We currently have liability and property damage insurance that we believe is adequate. However, the insurance industry is undergoing change and premiums are being increased. If premiums should increase to a level we cannot afford, we could be forced to cease operations.

If we cannot add additional reserves to replace production in the future, we would not be able to remain in business.

Our future uranium production, cash flow and income are dependent upon our ability to mine our current properties and acquire and develop additional reserves. There can be no assurance that our properties will be placed into production or that we will be able to continue to find and develop or acquire additional reserves.  The failure to commence production at existing sites or to develop and acquire additional reserves will have a negative impact on our business and could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Competition from better-capitalized companies affects prices and our ability to acquire properties and personnel.

There is global competition for uranium properties, capital, customers and the employment and retention or qualified personnel. In the production and marketing of uranium there are about 15 major producing entities, some of which are government controlled and all of which are significantly larger and better capitalized than we are. We also compete with uranium recovered from the de-enrichment of highly enriched uranium obtained from the dismantlement of United States and Russian nuclear weapons and imports to the United States of uranium from the former Soviet Union.  If any of these competitors are successful in competing against the Company, its sales could decline and its margins could be negatively impacted, all which could seriously harm the Company’s business and results of operations.

Industry-wide competition for exploration and development tools could delay production.

Intense industry-wide competition for exploration and development tools can create the shortage of drill rigs, logging trucks and other equipment.  Such shortages could delay our production and negatively impact our operations.

Competition from numerous small companies affects our ability to acquire properties and personnel and retain existing personnel.

There are numerous entities in the market that compete with us for properties and are attempting to become licensed to operate ISR facilities. In addition, we are aware several entities have expressed interest in hiring certain of our employees. To retain key employees, we may face increased compensation costs, including potential new option grants.

Over 56% of our shares of Common Stock is controlled by Principal Stockholders and Management.

Over 56% of our Common Stock is controlled by six stockholders of record. In addition, our directors and officers are the beneficial owners of about 6.8% of our Common Stock. This

11




includes with respect to both groups shares that may be purchased upon the exercise of outstanding options. Such ownership by the Company’s principal shareholders, executive officers and directors may have the effect of delaying, deferring, preventing or facilitating a sale of the Company, a business combination with a third party or other significant corporate transactions.

The availability for sale of a large amount of shares may depress the market price for our Common Stock.

The Company has 52,086,500 shares of Common Stock currently outstanding, all of which are transferable under a Registration Statement on Form S-1, S-8 prospectuses or otherwise. The availability for sale of such a large amount of shares may depress the market price for our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise additional capital through the public sale of Common Stock. The Company has no arrangement with any of the holders of the foregoing shares to address the possible effect on the price of the Company’s Common Stock of the sale by them of their shares.

12

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The number of shares registered for resale by the Selling Stockholders and covered by this Prospectus is 5,367,170 and represents 10.3% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming all shares registered hereunder are issued pursuant to the terms of the respective Plans.  However, registration of the Selling Stockholders’ Common Stock does not necessarily mean that the Selling Stockholders will offer or sell the shares.  The Securities may be sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may be made in the over-the-counter market at prices and on terms then prevailing or in negotiated transactions.

All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Securities will be borne by us. Commissions, discounts and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sales of the Securities will be borne by the Selling Stockholders.  Brokers may receive compensation in the form of customary brokerage commissions, discounts or concessions from Selling Stockholders in amounts to be negotiated in connection with sales pursuant hereto.  Such brokers or dealers

and any other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales and any such commission, discount or concession may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Selling Stockholders should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will apply to purchases and sales of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, the Selling Stockholders or their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our Common Stock while such Selling Stockholders are distributing shares covered by this Prospectus.  Accordingly, the Selling Stockholders are not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place.  The Selling Stockholders are advised that if a particular offer of Common Stock is to be made on terms constituting a material change from the information set forth above with respect to the Plan of Distribution, then to the extent required, a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION OF SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted for directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to applicable state law, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
