Comments on Dispute with Kleberg County CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 2007--Dave Clark, President of Uranium Resources, Inc. commented today on the decision by Kleberg County Texas to retain counsel to investigate the possibility of seeking an injunction against new uranium mining at the Company's Kingsville Dome operations. Mr. Clark stated the dispute relates to differing interpretations of an agreement entered into with the County in December 2004 regarding the degree of restoration of previously mined wellfields. In trying to resolve these issues amicably, the Company elected to defer the startup of production at a new wellfield for the past two months. When the negotiations failed, the Company notified the County of its intent to begin new production. Mr. Clark stated "We believe we are in full compliance and expect to prevail in our interpretations of the agreement. We do not anticipate this dispute will interfere with our mining at Kingsville Dome." The Company plans to provide an update on its South Texas production and drill plans during the week of February 12, 2007. ABOUT URANIUM RESOURCES, INC. Since it's incorporation in 1977, URI has produced over 7 million pounds of uranium by in-situ recovery (ISR) methods in the state of Texas where the Company currently has ISR mining projects.

It is also identifying its available resources in New Mexico from the analysis of its wealth of information gathered on the properties in the late 1980's. URI's strategy is to fully exploit its resource base in Texas and New Mexico to take advantage of the strong global market for uranium.

Announces EPA Ruling on New Mexico Property Section 8 CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2007--Uranium Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: URRE) ("URI"), a uranium exploration, development and mining company with properties in south Texas and New Mexico, announced today that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has reached a decision on the Indian country status of Section 8 of URI's Churchrock property in New Mexico. As the Company has previously disclosed, the underlying issue in the determination was whether the USEPA or the New Mexico Environment Department has the authority to issue a UIC permit required to mine the Churchrock property. The EPA has determined that Section 8 is Indian country, and therefore, it is under its jurisdiction to administer the UIC program permit. The jurisdictional dispute originated among the State of New Mexico, the USEPA and the Navajo Nation and was taken to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, which in January 2000 remanded to the USEPA the issue whether the Section 8 Churchrock property was Indian country. The Company has anticipated that whatever decision was rendered by the EPA, it would be appealed to the federal courts, either by URI or the Navajo Nation. The Company is reviewing the decision and will appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Mr. Clark commented, "We remain confident regarding the prospects of our New Mexico assets. Recently, McKinley County, NM, passed a resolution supporting the development of its natural resources, specifically uranium. Churchrock, as well as all of our other identified mineralized resources, are located in McKinley County." ABOUT URANIUM RESOURCES, INC.
