Exhibit 99.1

Uranium Resources, Inc. Begins Drilling at Its Los Finados Project in South Texas

LEWISVILLE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2011--Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: URRE) (“URI”) announced today that it began exploratory drilling on the 54,847 acres in Kenedy County, Texas, known as the ‘Los Finados Project.’ The first phase of the drilling program began on June 21 and is expected to be completed by the end of September at a cost of approximately $1 million. This phase of the exploratory core drilling will be done using a widely and evenly spaced program covering a grid designed to test the potential for uranium mineralization over the entire area. Specifically, the objective is to identify oxidation-reduction interfaces within the wide-spaced drilling.

Don Ewigleben, President and CEO of URI, commented, “The Los Finados project allows URI to explore for uranium in one of the largest contiguous untested land blocks in the prolific south Texas uranium district. URI’s water sampling results from our earlier testing, our analysis of local geologic trends, and the history of uranium production in the district suggest that the Los Finados property is highly prospective for the occurrence of one or more uranium deposits that can be produced by commercially viable ISR technology. Our three phase exploratory drilling will confirm what, if any, resources are present on this particular parcel in the district.”

In May, URI entered into an exploration agreement with Cameco Texas, Inc. (”CTI”), a subsidiary of Power Resources, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Cameco (NYSE: CCJ). The exploration agreement provides for a three-phase, three-year exploration program on the 54,847 acre south Texas property on which URI obtained the exploration rights and lease option. CTI will fund the majority of the exploration costs. At the conclusion of the exploration program, the parties may enter into an operating joint venture to develop and produce any discovered uranium resources and reserves. The uranium would be processed at URI’s Kingsville Dome or Rosita processing facility, with CTI’s share of production being processed under a toll processing agreement with URI. The initial area targeted for exploration is the ‘Los Finados Project.’

About Uranium Resources, Inc.

Uranium Resources Inc. explores for, develops and mines uranium. Since its incorporation in 1977, URI has produced over 8 million pounds of uranium by in-situ recovery (ISR) methods in the state of Texas where the Company currently has ISR mining projects. URI also has 183,000 acres of uranium mineral holdings and 101.4 million pounds of in-place mineralized uranium material in New Mexico and a NRC license to produce up to 1 million pounds of uranium per year. The Company has digitized over 18,800 drill logs representing nearly 23 million feet of hole drilled with an estimated replacement cost of $700 million. 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 is currently in production.

URI’s strategy is to fully exploit its resource base in New Mexico and Texas, expand its asset base both within and outside of New Mexico and Texas, partner with larger mining companies that have undeveloped uranium or with junior mining companies that do not have the mining experience of URI, as well as provide restoration expertise to those that require the capability or lack the proficiency.

Uranium Resources routinely posts news and other information about the Company on its Web site at www.uraniumresources.com.

All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including but not limited to statements relating to the Company’s mineralized uranium materials, timing of receipt of mining permits, production capacity of mining operations planned for properties in South Texas and New Mexico, planned dates for commencement of production at such properties, revenue, cash generation and profits are forward-looking statements. Because they are forward-looking, they should be evaluated in light of important risk factors and uncertainties. These risk factors and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the spot price and long-term contract price of uranium, weather conditions, operating conditions at the Company’s mining projects, government regulation of the mining industry and the nuclear power industry, world-wide uranium supply and demand, availability of capital, timely receipt of mining and other permits from regulatory agents and other factors which are more fully described in the Company’s documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
