DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Uranium Resources, Inc. (URI) is a uranium exploration, development and production company. We were organized in 1977 to acquire and develop uranium mines in South Texas using the in-situ recovery mining process (ISR). URI has historically produced uranium by ISR methods in the State of Texas where the Company currently has ISR mining projects, including two licensed processing facilities. We also have mineral holdings in New Mexico and a NRC license to produce up to 3 million pounds per annum of uranium on certain of its New Mexico projects. The Company acquired these properties over the past 20 years along with an extensive information database of historic mining logs and analysis. None of URI’s properties are currently in production.
