Uranium Resources, Inc. Regains Compliance with NASDAQ Rule 4350

·   URI cures temporary violation of rule addressing independent

director status

·   Received acknowledgement of compliance from NASDAQ

LEWISVILLE, TX, December 31, 2007 --- Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: URRE) (“URI” or the “Company”), a uranium exploration, development and mining company, announced today that it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. on December 27, 2007, indicating that the Company had regained compliance with NASDAQ’s Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1), which requires the Company’s board of directors to consist of a majority of independent directors as defined by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

On December 21, 2007, the Company notified The NASDAQ Stock Market that it had rescinded the stock option grant and terminated the stipend to an independent director that had rendered it non-compliant with Marketplace Rule 4350 (c)(1).  The NASDAQ Stock Market has determined that as a result, URI has regained compliance with the rules governing the independence of its directors.

Dave Clark, President and CEO of Uranium Resources, commented, “An internal compliance review identified a situation that caused us to be in non-compliance with NASDAQ’s rules governing director independence.  We immediately took the necessary steps to correct this temporary violation.  URI has always placed regulatory compliance at the highest level of corporate responsibility, and it is important to note that our internal control procedures were able to detect this situation, and we were able to correct it, in a timely manner.”
