Navajo Nation Council Resources and Development Committee Resolution Acknowledges Uranium Resources Existing Right-of-Way and Surface Use at its Churchrock Properties

Established subcommittee to draft terms of agreement which will define mutual benefits for the Navajo Nation and Uranium Resources

CENTENNIAL, CO, December 24, 2013 — Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: URRE) (URI) announced today that on December 23, 2013, the Navajo Nation Council Resources and Development Committee (“NNRDC”) acknowledged the right-of-way and surface use at its Churchrock properties licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.  The NNRDC has the authority to take action with regard to right-of-way issues.  The Committee acknowledged the right-of-way and surface and mineral access rights granted in the 1929 Deed by the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad Company.  The same access rights were passed to URI as the successor-in interest to the Deed.

The NNRDC also authorized the creation of a Subcommittee to work with the Navajo Nation Executive Director of the Natural Resources Division and the Department of Justice, along with representatives of URI.  The Subcommittee’s task is to consider the terms of an agreement that results in mutual gains for both the Navajo Nation and URI, considering the right of way and surface use granted in the 1929 Deed.

Christopher M. Jones, President and CEO stated, “The Committee’s resolution is a very positive development for URI.  We look forward to future discussions with the Subcommittee and the potential gains for both the Navajo Nation and URI from the development of a mutual agreement.”
