Ur-Energy Inc.Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)September 30, 2024
(expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share data)
1. Nature of Operations
Ur-Energy Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 22, 2004, under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The Company continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on August 8, 2006. The Company is an exploration stage issuer, as defined by United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company is engaged in uranium mining and recovery operations, with activities including the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of uranium mineral resources located primarily in Wyoming. The Company commenced uranium production at its Lost Creek Project in Wyoming in 2013.
Due to the nature of the uranium recovery methods used by the Company on the Lost Creek Property, and the definition of “mineral reserves” under Subpart 1300 to Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”), the Company has not determined whether the property contains mineral reserves. The recoverability of amounts recorded for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economic resources, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to develop the properties and upon attaining future profitable production from the properties or sufficient proceeds from the disposition of the properties.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for annual financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all the normal adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. We applied the same accounting policies as in the prior year. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by US GAAP have been condensed or omitted in these interim consolidated financial statements.
Functional and reporting currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency for Ur-Energy USA Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned subsidiaries, is the U.S. dollar. The reporting currency for these consolidated financial statements is U.S. dollars.
Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires annual and interim disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss as well as the amount and composition of other segment items. All disclosure requirements under this ASU are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. This ASU is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

The bonding requirements for reclamation obligations on various properties have been reviewed and approved by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (“WDEQ”), including the Wyoming Uranium Recovery Program (“URP”), and the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) as applicable. The restricted accounts are pledged as collateral against performance surety bonds, which secure the estimated costs of reclamation related to the properties. Surety bonds totaled $41.6 million and $28.4 million as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
6. Mineral Properties

Lost Creek Property
The Company acquired certain Wyoming properties in 2005 when Ur-Energy USA Inc. purchased 100% of NFU Wyoming, LLC. Assets acquired in this transaction include the Lost Creek Project, other Wyoming properties, and development databases. NFU Wyoming, LLC was acquired for aggregate consideration of $20 million plus interest. Since 2005, the Company has increased its holdings adjacent to the initial Lost Creek acquisition through staking additional claims and making additional property purchases and leases.
There is a royalty on each of the State of Wyoming sections under lease at the Lost Creek, LC West and EN Projects, as required by law. We are not recovering uranium oxide (“U 3 O 8”) within the State section under lease at Lost Creek and therefore are not subject to royalty payments currently. Other royalties exist on certain mining claims at the LC South, LC East and EN Projects. There are no royalties on the mining claims in the Lost Creek, LC North, or LC West Projects.

9. Notes Payable
On October 15, 2013, the Sweetwater County Commissioners approved the issuance of a $34.0 million Sweetwater County, State of Wyoming, Taxable Industrial Development Revenue Bond (Lost Creek Project), Series 2013 (the “Sweetwater IDR Bond”) to the State of Wyoming, acting by and through the Wyoming State Treasurer, as purchaser. On October 23, 2013, the Sweetwater IDR Bond was issued, and the proceeds were in turn loaned by Sweetwater County to Lost Creek ISR, LLC pursuant to a financing agreement dated October 23, 2013 (the “State Bond Loan”). The State Bond Loan called for payments of interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per annum on a quarterly basis commencing January 1, 2014. The principal was scheduled to be paid in 28 quarterly installments commencing January 1, 2015.
During the term of the State Bond Loan, the Sweetwater County Commissioners and the State of Wyoming approved two separate deferrals of principal payments during the downturn in the uranium market and our period of reduced production operations. Following those deferrals, quarterly principal payments resumed on October 1, 2022, and were scheduled to continue until October 1, 2024.
On March 27, 2024, the remaining $4.4 million balance due on the State Bond Loan was prepaid in full. The State Bond Loan was secured by all the assets of the Lost Creek Project. All releases of collateral have been obtained following the final repayment of the facility.
The following table summarizes the Company’s current debt.
| Current Debt | September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| State Bond Loan | - | 5,727 |
| Deferred financing costs | - | (33) |
| - | 5,694 |
10. Warrant Liability
In February 2021, the Company issued 16,930,530 warrants to purchase 8,465,265 common shares at $1.35 perwhole common share for a term of three years.
In February 2023, the Company issued 39,100,000 warrants to purchase 19,550,000 common shares at $1.50 perwhole common share for a term of three years.
Because the warrants are priced in U.S. dollars and the functional currency of Ur-Energy Inc., the parent entity, is Canadian dollars, a derivative financial liability was created. Using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy under US GAAP, the liability created is measured and recorded at fair value, and adjusted monthly, using the Black-Scholes model described below as there is no active market for the warrants. Any gain or loss from the adjustment of the liability is reflected in net income (loss) for the period.

The aggregate intrinsic value of the options in the preceding table represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value for stock options, with an exercise price less than the Company’s TSX closing stock price as of the last trading day in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (approximately US$1.19), that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on that date. There were 5,262,038 in-the-money stock options outstanding and 4,496,156 in-the-money stock options exercisable as of September 30, 2024.
The fair value of the options granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

On June 24, 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Company’s restricted share unit plan (the “RSU Plan”), as subsequently amended and now known as the Restricted Share Unit and Equity Incentive Plan (the “RSU&EI Plan”). The RSU&EI Plan was approved by our shareholders most recently on June 2, 2022.
Eligible participants under the RSU&EI Plan include directors and employees of the Company. Granted RSUs are redeemed on the second anniversary of the grant. Upon an RSU redemption, the holder of the RSU will receive one common share, for no additional consideration, for each RSU held.
Activity with respect to RSUs is summarized as follows:

Fair value calculation assumptions for stock options and restricted share units
The fair value of stock options are determined using the Black-Scholes model on their respective grant dates. The fair value of restricted share units are determined using the Intrinsic Value Method on their respective grant dates.
The Company estimates expected future volatility based on daily historical trading data of the Company’s common shares. The risk-free interest rates are determined by reference to Canadian Benchmark Bond Yield rates with maturities that approximate the expected life. The Company has never paid dividends and currently has no plans to do so. Forfeitures and expected lives were estimated based on actual historical experience.
Share-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted share units is recognized net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, which results in expensing the awards that are ultimately expected to vest over the expected life.
**13.**Sales
Revenue is primarily derived from the sale of U 3 O 8 under multi-year agreements or spot sales agreements. The Company also receives disposal fee revenues, which are not related to the sale of U 3 O 8.

**14.**Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes ad valorem and severance taxes related to the extraction of uranium, all costs of wellfield and plant operations including the related depreciation and amortization of capitalized assets, reclamation, and mineral property costs, plus product distribution costs. These costs are also used to value inventory. The resulting inventoried cost per pound is compared to the NRV of the product, which is based on the estimated sales price of the product, net of any necessary costs to finish the product. Any inventory value in excess of the NRV is charged to cost of sales.

Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents. These assets include Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar denominated certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and demand deposits. These instruments are maintained at financial institutions in Canada and the U.S. Of the amount held on deposit, approximately $0.6 million is covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, or the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, leaving approximately $128.7 million at risk on September 30, 2024, should the financial institutions with which these amounts are invested be rendered insolvent. The Company considers any expected credit losses on its financial instruments to be nominal as of September 30, 2024.
Currency risk
As of September 30, 2024, we maintained a balance of approximately $2.5 million Canadian dollars. The funds will be used to pay Canadian dollar expenses and are considered to be a low currency risk to the Company.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s financial liabilities consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $7.1 million, and the current portion of lease liability of $0.3 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $118.5 million of cash and cash equivalents.
Interest rate risk
The Company has completed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact that a change in interest rates would have on the net loss and considers the change to be a low interest rate risk to the Company.
