     Uranium Resources, Inc. 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.
