When we use the terms “Ur-Energy,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” or the “Company” we are referring to Ur-Energy Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. Throughout this document we make statements that are classified as “forward-looking.” Please refer to the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section below for an explanation of these types of assertions.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable United States (“U.S.”) and Canadian securities laws, and these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "may," "potential," "intends," "plans" and other similar expressions or statements that an action, event or result "may," "could" or "should" be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative thereof or other similar statements. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to: (i) the ability to maintain safe and compliant reduced-level production operations at Lost Creek; (ii) the timing to determine future development and construction priorities at Lost Creek and Shirley Basin, and the ability to readily and cost-effectively ramp-up production operations when market and other conditions warrant, and the life of mine and production results for each project; (iii) the timing and outcome of final regulatory approvals of the amendments for uranium recovery at the LC East Project; (iv) the ability to complete additional favorable uranium sales agreements including spot sales if the market warrants and as may be advantageous to the Company; (v) the impacts of COVID 19 on our business, operations, and financial liquidity, and the impacts of the pandemic directly and indirectly on the uranium market; (vi) resolution of the continuing challenges within the uranium market, including supply and demand projections; (vii) the timing and impact of implementation of the national uranium reserve program and the Company’s role in the program; (viii) timing for implementation of other recommendations made by the United States Nuclear Fuel Working Group for the revival and expansion of domestic nuclear fuel production, and whether the Biden Administration will incorporate nuclear energy and domestic production of uranium into its climate change initiatives; (ix) whether cost-savings measures which have been implemented will be sufficient to support our operations and avoid dilution to our shareholders; and (x) the level of loan forgiveness to be obtained for our loans under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program. Additional factors include, among others, the following: challenges presented by current inventories and largely unrestricted imports of uranium products into the U.S.; future estimates for production; capital expenditures; operating costs; mineral resources, grade estimates and recovery rates; market prices; business strategies and measures to implement such strategies; competitive strengths; estimates of goals for expansion and growth of the business and operations; plans and references to our future successes; our history of operating losses and uncertainty of future profitability; status as an exploration stage company; the lack of mineral reserves; risks associated with obtaining permits and other authorizations in the U.S.; risks associated with current variable economic conditions; our ability to service our debt and maintain compliance with all restrictive covenants related to the debt facility and security documents; the possible impact of future debt or equity financings; the hazards associated with mining production operations; compliance with environmental laws and regulations; wastewater management; the possibility for adverse results in potential litigation; uncertainties associated with changes in law, government policy and regulation; uncertainties associated with a Canada Revenue Agency or U.S. Internal Revenue Service audit of any of our cross border transactions; changes in size and structure; the effectiveness of management and our strategic relationships; ability to attract and retain key personnel and management; uncertainties regarding the need for additional capital; sufficiency of insurance coverages; uncertainty regarding the fluctuations of quarterly results; foreign currency exchange risks; ability to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws outside the U.S.; ability to maintain our listing on the NYSE American and Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”); risks associated with the expected classification as a "passive foreign investment company" under the applicable provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; risks associated with our investments and other risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, dated February 26, 2021.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Disclosure of Mineral Resources

Unless otherwise indicated, all resource estimates included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (“CIM Definition Standards”). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.

Canadian standards, including NI 43-101, differ significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and resource information contained in this Form 10-Q may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies. In particular, the term “resources” does not equate to the term “reserves.” Under SEC Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. SEC Industry Guide 7 does not define and the SEC’s disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources” or “inferred mineral resources” or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute “reserves” by U.S. standards in documents filed with the SEC. U.S. investors should also understand that “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “inferred mineral resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimated “inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an “inferred mineral resource” exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning mineral deposits set forth herein may not be comparable to information made public by companies that report in accordance with U.S. standards.

NI 43-101 Review of Technical Information: Michael Mellin, Ur-Energy / Lost Creek Mine Geologist, Certified P.Geo., and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this Form 10-Q.

Ur-Energy Inc.

Condensed Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

(expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated)

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 mining company, 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 mining methods used by the Company on the Lost Creek Property, and the definition of “mineral reserves” under National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”), which uses the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards, the Company has not determined whether the properties contain mineral reserves. However, the Company’s “Amended Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Lost Creek Property, Sweetwater County, Wyoming,” February 8, 2016 (“Lost Creek PEA”) outlines the potential viability of the Lost Creek Property. 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 disposition of the properties.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

Ur-Energy Inc.

Condensed Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

(expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated)

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 U₃O₈ within the State section under lease at Lost Creek and are therefore 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.

Pathfinder Mines

The Company acquired additional Wyoming properties when Ur-Energy USA Inc. closed a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with an AREVA Mining affiliate in December 2013. Under the terms of the SPA, the Company purchased Pathfinder Mines Corporation (“Pathfinder”). Assets acquired in this transaction include the Shirley Basin mine, portions of the Lucky Mc mine, machinery and equipment, vehicles, office equipment, and development databases. Pathfinder was acquired for aggregate consideration of $6.7 million, the assumption of $5.7 million in estimated asset reclamation obligations, and other consideration.

Other U.S. properties

Other U.S. properties include the acquisition costs of several prospective mineralized properties, which the Company continues to maintain through claim payments, lease payments, insurance, and other holding costs in anticipation of future exploration efforts.

7. Capital Assets

The Company’s capital assets consist of the following:

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 calls for payments of interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per annum on a quarterly basis commencing January 1, 2014. The principal was to be paid in 28 quarterly installments commencing January 1, 2015.

On October 1, 2019, the Sweetwater County Commissioners and the State of Wyoming approved an eighteen month deferral of principal payments beginning October 1, 2019. On October 6, 2020, the State Bond Loan was again modified to defer principal payments for an additional eighteen months. Quarterly principal payments are scheduled to resume on October 1, 2022 and the last payment will be due on October 1, 2024.

On April 16, 2020, we obtained two Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans (one for each of our subsidiaries with U.S. payroll obligations) through the Bank of Oklahoma Financial (“BOKF”). The program was a part of the CARES Act enacted by Congress March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. The combined loan amount was $0.9 million.

On June 5, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (the “Flexibility Act”) became law. The Flexibility Act changes key provisions of the PPP, including maturity of the loans, deferral of loan payments, and the forgiveness of the PPP loans, with revisions being retroactive to the date of the CARES Act.

Under the program, as modified by the Flexibility Act and SBA and Treasury rulemakings, the repayment of our loans, including interest, may be forgiven based on eligible payroll, payroll-related, and other allowable costs incurred in a twenty-four-week period following the funding of the loans. To have the full amount of the loans forgiven, the following requirements must be met within that period, and be sufficiently documented in the application for forgiveness:

(1) Spend not less than 60% of loan proceeds on eligible payroll costs.

(2) Spend the remaining loan proceeds on:

a. additional eligible payroll costs above 60%;

b. payments of interest on mortgage obligations incurred before February 15, 2020;

c. rent payments on leases dated before February 15, 2020; and/or  

d. utility payments under service agreements dated before February 15, 2020.

(3) Maintain employee compensation levels (subject to specific program requirements).

For any portion of the loans that is not forgiven, the program provides for an initial deferral of payments based upon the timing of a borrower’s application for forgiveness and SBA’s action on the application up to a maximum of ten months after the use and forgiveness covered period ends (July 30, 2021). Any remaining amount owing on the loans has a two-year maturity (April 16, 2022), unless renegotiated with the lender for up to a five-year term, with an interest rate of one percent per annum. We anticipate the loans will meet the requirements for forgiveness under this program. In December 2020, we applied for loan forgiveness with the BOKF. The BOKF, after reviewing the loan forgiveness applications, submitted them to the SBA for approval in March 2021. We have not yet received loan forgiveness approval and therefore continue to treat the PPP loans as debt.

The following table summarizes the Company’s current and long-term debts.

Current and Long-term Debt	March 31, 2021			December 31, 2020

10. Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset retirement obligations ("ARO") relate to the Lost Creek mine and Pathfinder projects and are equal to the current estimated reclamation cost escalated at an inflation rate and then discounted at credit adjusted risk-free rates ranging from 0.33% to 7.25%. Current estimated reclamation costs include costs of closure, reclamation, demolition and stabilization of the well fields, processing plants, infrastructure, aquifer restoration, waste dumps, and ongoing post-closure environmental monitoring and maintenance costs. The schedule of payments required to settle the future reclamation extends through 2033.

The restricted cash discussed in note 5 relates to the surety bonds provided to the governmental agencies for these obligations.

11. Warrant Liabilities

In September 2018, we issued 13,062,878 warrants as part of an underwritten public offering with two warrants redeemable for one Common Share of the Company’s stock at a price of $1.00 per full share. The warrants expire in September 2021.

In August 2020, we issued 9,000,000 warrants as part of a registered direct offering with two warrants redeemable for one Common Share of the Company’s stock at a price of $0.75 per full share. The warrants expire in August 2022.

In February 2021, we issued 16,930,530 warrants as part of an underwritten public offering with two warrants redeemable for one Common Share of the Company’s stock at a price of $1.35 per full share. The warrants expire in February 2024.

Because the warrants are priced in U.S. dollars and the functional currency of Ur-Energy Inc. is Canadian dollars, a derivative financial liability was created. The liability created, and adjusted quarterly, is calculated using the Black-Scholes technique 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 for the period.

On February 4, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 14,722,200 common shares and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 7,361,100 common shares, at a combined public offering price of $0.90 per common share and accompanying warrant. The warrants will have an exercise price of $1.35 per whole common share and will expire three years from the date of issuance. Ur-Energy also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,208,330 common shares and warrants to purchase up to 1,104,165 common shares on the same terms. The option was exercised in full. Including the exercised option, Ur-Energy issued a total of 16,930,530 common shares and 16,930,530 warrants to purchase up to 8,465,265 common shares. The gross proceeds to Ur‑Energy from this offering were approximately $15.2 million. After fees and expenses of $1.3 million, net proceeds to the Company were approximately $13.9 million.

Stock options

In 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Company's stock option plan (the “Option Plan”). The Option Plan was most recently approved by the shareholders on May 7, 2020. Eligible participants under the Option Plan include directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. Under the terms of the Option Plan, grants of options will vest over a three-year period: 33.3% on the first anniversary, 33.3% on the second anniversary, and 33.4% on the third anniversary of the grant. The term of the options is five years.

Activity with respect to stock options is summarized as follows:

	Outstanding			Weighted-average
Stock Option Activity	Options			exercise price
December 31, 2020		11,910,424		$	0.61
Exercised		(1,723,818	)		0.64
Forfeited		(219,055	)		0.56
March 31, 2021		9,967,551		$	0.62

The exercise price of a new grant is set at the closing price for the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date and there is no intrinsic value as of the date of grant.

We received $1.1 million from options exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2021. No options were exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Stock-based compensation expense from stock options was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As of March 31, 2021, there was approximately $1.0 million unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to the Option Plan. The expenses are expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.1 years under the Option Plan.

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 three months ended March 31, 2021 (approximately US$1.10), that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on that date. There were 9,967,551 in-the-money stock options outstanding and 4,888,345 in-the-money stock options exercisable as of March 31, 2021.

The fair value of the stock options on their respective grant dates was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

The fair value of the warrants on their respective grant dates was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

Warrant Fair Value Assumptions	2021			2020			2019		2018
Expected forfeiture rate		0.0	%		0.0	%		-		0.0	%
Expected life (years)		3.0			2.0			-		3.0

Black-Scholes value (CAD$)		$0.39			$0.26			$0.00		$0.34

Fair value calculations

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 Treasury Note constant maturities that approximate the expected life. The Company has never paid dividends and currently has no plans to do so.

Share-based compensation expense is recognized net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, which results in expensing the awards that are ultimately expected to vest over the expected life. Forfeitures and expected lives were estimated based on actual historical experience.

13. Sales

Revenue is primarily derived from the sale of U₃O₈ to domestic utilities under contracts or spot sales.

Revenue consists of:

	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2021					2020
Revenue Summary	$		%			$		%
Sales of purchased inventory
Company A		-		0.0	%		1,370		100.0	%
		-		0.0	%		1,370		100.0	%

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.

15. Operating Costs

Operating expenses include exploration and evaluation expense, development expense, General and Administration (“G&A”) expense, and mineral property write-offs. Exploration and evaluation expense consists of labor and the associated costs of the exploration and evaluation departments as well as land holding and exploration costs including drilling and analysis on properties which have not reached the permitting or operations stage. Development expense relates to properties that have reached the permitting or operations stage and include costs associated with exploring, delineating, and permitting a property. Once permitted, development expense also includes the costs associated with the construction and development of the permitted property that are otherwise not eligible to be capitalized. G&A expense relates to the administration, finance, investor relations, land, and legal functions, and consists principally of personnel, facility, and support costs.

Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash per the Statement of Cash Flows consists of the following:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents		17,595		4,268
Restricted cash		7,860		7,859
		25,455		12,127

Interest expense paid was $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

17. Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable. The Company is exposed to risks related to changes in interest rates and management of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash. 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 $0.5 million is covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, or the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, leaving approximately $25.0 million at risk on March 31, 2021 should the financial institutions with which these amounts are invested be rendered insolvent. The Company does not consider any of its financial assets to be impaired as of March 31, 2021.

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 March 31, 2021, the current Company’s financial liabilities consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.4 million, and the current portion of notes payable of $0.8 million.

As of March 31, 2021, we had $17.6 million of cash and cash equivalents. In addition to our cash position, our finished, ready-to-sell, conversion facility inventory value is immediately realizable, if necessary. We do not anticipate selling our existing finished-product inventory in 2021, unless market conditions change sufficiently to warrant its sale.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company has completed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact that a change in interest rates would have on the net loss of the Company. This sensitivity analysis shows that a change of +/- 100 basis points in interest rate would have a negligible effect on the three months ended March 31, 2021. The financial position of the Company may vary at the time that a change in interest rates occurs causing the impact on the Company’s results to vary.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Business Overview

The following discussion is designed to provide information that we believe is necessary for an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of our operations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the MD&A contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Incorporated on March 22, 2004, Ur-Energy is an exploration stage mining company, as that term is defined by the SEC. We are engaged in uranium mining, recovery and processing activities, including the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of uranium mineral properties in the U.S. We are operating our first in situ recovery uranium mine at our Lost Creek Project in Wyoming. Ur-Energy is a corporation continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on August 8, 2006. Our Common Shares are listed on the TSX under the symbol “URE” and on the NYSE American under the symbol “URG.”

Ur-Energy has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Ur-Energy USA Inc., incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado. Ur-Energy USA Inc. has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: NFU Wyoming, LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Wyoming which acts as our land holding and exploration entity; Lost Creek ISR, LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Wyoming to operate our Lost Creek Project and hold our Lost Creek properties and assets; and Pathfinder Mines Corporation (“Pathfinder”), incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, which holds, among other assets, the Shirley Basin and Lucky Mc properties in Wyoming. Our material U.S. subsidiaries remain unchanged since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, dated February 26, 2021. 

We utilize in situ recovery (“ISR”) of the uranium at our flagship project, Lost Creek, and will do so at other projects where possible. The ISR technique is employed in uranium extraction because it allows for an effective recovery of roll front uranium mineralization at a lower cost. At Lost Creek, we extract and process uranium oxide (“U₃O₈”) for shipping to a third-party conversion facility to be weighed, assayed and stored until sold.

Our Lost Creek processing facility, which includes all circuits for the production, drying and packaging of U3O8 for delivery into sales transactions, is designed and anticipated under current licensing to process up to 1.2 million pounds of U3O8 annually from the Lost Creek mine. The processing facility has the physical design capacity and is licensed to process 2.2 million pounds of U3O8 annually, which provides additional capacity, of up to one million pounds U3O8, to process material from other sources. We expect that the Lost Creek processing facility may be utilized to process captured U3O8 from our Shirley Basin Project. However, the Shirley Basin permit and license allow for the the construction of a full processing facility, providing greater construction and operating flexibility as may be dictated by market conditions.

COVID-19 and SBA Paycheck Protection Program

During the quarter, physical gathering and other restrictions continued at various levels in Wyoming and Colorado. As COVID-19 restrictions have changed, we have adapted accordingly. We continue to monitor State, Federal and public health guidance as it evolves. Our staff experienced no further cases of COVID-19 during Q1.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress enacted the CARES Act on March 27, 2020, which created the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). As an eligible borrower under the program, we secured two loans, one for each of our subsidiaries with U.S. payroll obligations. The combined loan amount of $0.9 million was received on April 16, 2020. We have applied for forgiveness of the full amount of the loans under the current provisions of the program, and we anticipate the loans will meet the requirements for full forgiveness.

Uranium Reserve and Uranium Market

Having persevered through many years of suppressed low pricing, including the threats to overall market stability created by foreign state-sponsored producers, U.S. uranium miners have seen signs in Q1 there may be increasing support in Washington for the industry. The Biden Administration is prioritizing climate change initiatives and its leaders have expressed an understanding that clean, carbon-free nuclear energy must be an integral part of those initiatives. The U.S. Department of Energy is working to implement the new national uranium reserve which was established in December 2020 with initial funding of $75 million for FY2021.

Supply-demand fundamentals continue to strengthen with projections for sustained growth of global nuclear power in coming years through traditional uses and the construction of advanced reactors of various types. Growing numbers of countries are making commitments to net-zero emissions, which will likely require nuclear energy to meet such objectives.

Equity Financing

On February 4, 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of 14,722,200 common shares and accompanying one-half common share warrants to purchase up to 7,361,100 common shares, at a combined public offering price of $0.90 per common share and accompanying warrant. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.35 per whole common share and will expire three years from the date of issuance. We also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,208,330 common shares and warrants to purchase up to 1,104,165 common shares on the same terms, which was exercised in full prior to closing. Including the exercised option, we issued a total of 16,930,530 common shares and 16,930,530 warrants to purchase up to 8,465,265 common shares. The gross proceeds to Ur Energy from this offering were approximately $15.2 million. After fees and expenses of $1.3 million, net proceeds to the Company were approximately $13.9 million. See note 12 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and discussion below under Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Mineral Rights and Properties

We have 12 U.S. uranium properties. Ten of our uranium properties are located in the Great Divide Basin, Wyoming, including Lost Creek. Currently, we control nearly 1,800 unpatented mining claims and three State of Wyoming mineral leases for a total of approximately 36,000 acres in the area of the Lost Creek Property, including the Lost Creek permit area (the “Lost Creek Project” or “Project”), and certain adjoining properties referred to as LC East, LC West, LC North, LC South and EN Project areas (collectively, with the Lost Creek Project, the “Lost Creek Property”). Our Shirley Basin Project, also in Wyoming, comprises more than 3,700 Company-controlled acres. Our Lucky Mc Project holds 1,800 acres in the Gas Hills Mine District, Wyoming. Our Excel gold project holds approximately 2,400 acres of mining claims in the Excelsior Mountains of Mineral County, Nevada.

Lost Creek Property

During the quarter, we maintained reduced production operations at Lost Creek while we await the implementation of the national uranium reserve, further relief pursuant to the recommendations of the United States Nuclear Fuel Working Group (the “Working Group”) and further positive developments in the uranium markets. The reduced production levels have allowed us to make further operating cost reductions at Lost Creek, while continuing to conduct preventative maintenance and optimize processes in preparation for ramp up to full production rates. These preparations include advanced planning for anticipated drilling and production well installation in our fully permitted Mine Unit 2 ("MU2").

24

Applications for amendment to the Lost Creek licenses and permits were submitted in 2014 in order to include recovery from the uranium resource in the LC East Project (HJ and KM horizons) immediately adjacent to the Lost Creek Project. During Q1, the Wyoming Uranium Recovery Program (“URP”) approved the amendment to the Lost Creek source material license to include recovery from these areas. This license approval grants the Company access to six planned mine units in addition to the already licensed three mine units at Lost Creek. The approval also increases the license limit for annual plant production to 2.2 million pounds U₃O₈ which includes wellfield production of up to 1.2 million pounds U₃O₈ and toll processing up to one million pounds U₃O₈.

The BLM previously completed its review and granted approval for this expansion at Lost Creek. The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Land Quality Division, continues its review of the application for amendment to the permit to mine. We anticipate that the permit to mine amendment to recover uranium in the LC East Project will be complete in 2021 H2.

Shirley Basin Project

Subsequent to quarter-end, the State of Wyoming and the EPA completed their respective reviews of our Shirley Basin Project and issued the source material license, permit to mine, and aquifer exemption for the project. These three approvals represent the final major permits required to begin construction of the Shirley Basin project. We received BLM final approval of the project, following its NEPA review process, in April 2020.

The Company plans three relatively shallow mining units at the project, where we have the option to either build out a complete processing plant with drying facilities or a satellite plant with the ability to send loaded ion exchange resin to Lost Creek for processing. The Shirley Basin processing facility throughput shall not exceed an average daily flow rate equivalent to 6,000 gallons per minute or a maximum instantaneous flow rate of 6,500 gallons per minute, excluding restoration flow. The annual production of dried yellowcake (U3O8) from wellfield production and toll processing of loaded resin or yellowcake slurry shall not exceed 2M pounds equivalent of dried U3O8 product. Situated in an historic mining district, the project has existing access roads, power, waste disposal facility and shop buildings onsite. The project is construction ready, since delineation and exploration drilling were completed historically. Additionally, all wellfield, pipeline and header house layouts are finalized. We anticipate up to nine years production at the site.

During 2020, we took steps to reduce production operations at Lost Creek and adjust to the continued depressed state of the uranium markets while we awaited the recommended relief from the Working Group and further positive developments in the uranium markets. As a result, production rates at Lost Creek declined significantly during the year. Pounds captured decreased nearly 80 percent during the year and will remain low until a decision to ramp up is made.

26

As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately 284,358 pounds of U₃O₈ at the conversion facility including 235,608 produced pounds at an average cost per pound of $27.98, and 48,750 purchased pounds at an average cost of $26.01 per pound. In January 2021, we shipped approximately 15,873 pounds of U₃O₈ to the conversion facility.

Sales

There were no sales in the first quarter of 2021 and we do not anticipate making any sales in 2021 at this time. We sold 33,000 pounds of U₃O₈ during the three months ended March 31, 2020 at an average price of $41.52 per pound. The sales were all into term contracts using purchased pounds.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales per the financial statements 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 per the financial statements. These NRV adjustments are excluded from the U₃O₈ cost of sales and U₃O₈ cost per pound sold figures because they relate to the pounds of U₃O₈ in ending inventory and do not relate to the pounds of U₃O₈ sold during the period.

In the three months ended March 31, 2021, cost of sales per the financial statements included $1.7 million in lower of cost or NRV adjustments. With production rates held to these intentionally lower levels, virtually all production costs during 2021 will be charged to cost of sales as NRV adjustments. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, cost of sales per the financial statements included $2.3 million in lower of cost or NRV adjustments.

All sales in 2020 Q1 were from purchased product. The weighted average purchase price was $24.94 per pound.

Gross Profit

The gross loss per the financial statements in 2021 Q1 was $1.7 million. As there were no U₃O₈ sales during the quarter, the loss was composed of NRV adjustments. The gross loss per the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1.7 million. Excluding the $2.3 million of NRV adjustments in 2020 Q1, which included a significant portion of cash production costs, the U₃O₈ gross profit was $0.5 million for quarter, which represents a gross profit margin of approximately 40%.

Operating Costs

Operating costs include exploration and evaluation expense, development expense, general and administration expense, and accretion expense.

The following table summarizes the operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Three months ended
	March 31,
Operating Costs	2021		2020
Exploration and evaluation		463		391
Development		132		273
General and administration		1,094		1,253
Accretion		123		145
		1,812		2,062

28

Total operating costs in 2021 Q1 and 2020 Q1 were $1.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The decrease in 2021 was primarily related to lower labor costs. In 2020, after considering uranium market conditions, and other factors including worldwide economic conditions and market reactions to COVID-19, we implemented a reduction in force, which accounted for the lower labor costs in 2021.

Exploration and evaluation expense consists of labor and the associated costs of the exploration, evaluation, and regulatory departments, as well as land holding and exploration costs on properties that have not reached the development or operations stage. The $0.1 million increase in 2021 Q1 was primarily due to exploration activities on the Excel gold project in Nevada and slightly higher labor costs, partially offset by savings realized from relocating the Casper operations office to a smaller, less expensive, office building.

Development expense includes costs incurred at the Lost Creek Project not directly attributable to production activities, including wellfield construction, drilling, and development costs. It also includes costs associated with the Shirley Basin Project, which is in a more advanced stage, and Lucky Mc, which is near the end of reclamation at the historic mine site. The $0.1 million decrease in 2021 Q1 primarily related to lower labor costs and lower permitting costs at Shirley Basin.

General and administration expense relates to the administration, finance, investor relations, land, and legal functions, and consists principally of personnel, facility, and support costs. The $0.2 million decrease in 2021 Q1 was primarily related to lower labor and outside service fees.

Other Income and Expenses

Net interest expense increased slightly in 2021 Q1 because of lower interest income received from restricted cash deposit accounts as compared to 2020 Q1.

The warrant mark to market decreased from a gain of $0.3 million in 2020 Q1 to a loss of $3.4 million in 2021 Q1. As a part of the September 2018 underwritten public offering, the August 2020 registered direct offering, and the February 2021 underwritten public offering, we sold warrants that were priced in U.S. dollars. Because the functional currency of the Ur-Energy Inc. entity is Canadian dollars, a derivative financial liability was created. The liability was originally calculated, and revalued quarterly, using the Black-Scholes technique as there is no active market for the warrants. Any gain or loss resulting from the revaluation of the liability is reflected in other income and expenses for the period. During 2021 Q1, the Company’s stock price, volatility, and other factors used in the Black-Scholes calculation rose significantly, leading to a significant increase in the warrant liability and a corresponding mark to market loss.

As a result of the February 2021 underwritten public offering, the Company received approximately $13.9 million in net proceeds from the offering. Because the functional currency of the Ur‑Energy Inc. entity is Canadian dollars, the entity’s USD bank account is revalued into Canadian dollars and any gain or loss resulting from changes in the currency rates is reflected in other income and expenses for the period. During 2021 Q1, the foreign exchange loss was primarily due to the revaluation of the entity’s USD bank account.

Earnings (loss) per Common Share

The basic and diluted loss per common share for 2021 Q1 and 2020 Q1 were $0.04 and $0.02, respectively. The diluted loss per common share is equal to the basic loss per common share due to the anti-dilutive effect of all convertible securities in periods of loss.

29

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased $13.3 million from the December 31, 2020 balance of $4.3 million to $17.6 million as of March 31, 2021. Cash resources consist of Canadian and U.S. dollar denominated deposit accounts and money market funds. During 2021 Q1, we used $2.1 million for operating activities, had no investing activities, and generated $15.4 million from financing activities.

Operating activities used $2.1 million of cash in 2021. We spent $0.8 million on production related cash costs, operating costs consumed $1.4 million of cash and we paid $0.2 million in interest payments on our state bond loan. Working capital and other items generated approximately $0.3 million of cash.

There were no investing activities during 2021 Q1.

Financing activities provided $15.4 million of cash in 2021 Q1. As described below, on February 4, 2021, we closed a $15.2 million underwritten public offering. After share issue costs, we received net proceeds of nearly $14.0 million. During 2021 Q1, we also received $1.4 million from the exercise of warrants and stock options.

Wyoming State Bond Loan

On October 23, 2013, we closed a $34.0 million Sweetwater County, State of Wyoming, Taxable Industrial Development Revenue Bond financing program loan (“State Bond Loan”). The State Bond Loan calls for payments of interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per annum on a quarterly basis, which commenced January 1, 2014. The principal was to be payable in 28 quarterly installments, which commenced January 1, 2015. The State Bond Loan is secured by all the assets at the Lost Creek Project. As of March 31, 2021, the balance of the State Bond Loan was $12.4 million.  

On October 1, 2019, the Sweetwater County Commissioners and the State of Wyoming approved an eighteen month deferral of principal payments beginning October 1, 2019. On October 6, 2020, the State Bond Loan was again modified to defer principal payments for an additional eighteen months. Quarterly principal payments are scheduled to resume on October 1, 2022 and the last payment will be due on October 1, 2024.

Small Business Administration Loans

On April 16, 2020, we obtained two SBA PPP loans (one for each of our subsidiaries with U.S. payroll obligations) through the Bank of Oklahoma Financial (“BOKF”). The program was a part of the CARES Act enacted by Congress on March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. The combined loan amount was $0.9 million.

On June 5, 2020, the Flexibility Act became law. The Flexibility Act changes key provisions of the PPP, including maturity of the loans, deferral of loan payments, and the forgiveness of the PPP loans, with revisions being retroactive to the date of the CARES Act.

Under the SBA PPP loan program, as modified by the Flexibility Act, the repayment of our loans, including interest, may be forgiven based on eligible payroll, payroll-related, and other allowable costs incurred in a twenty-four-week period following the funding of the loans. We anticipate the loans will meet the requirements for forgiveness under this program. In December 2020, we applied for loan forgiveness with the BOKF. The BOKF, after reviewing the loan forgiveness applications, submitted them to the SBA for approval in March 2021. We have not yet received loan forgiveness approval and therefore continue to treat the PPP loans as debt.

30

Universal Shelf Registration and At Market Facility

On May 15, 2020, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC in order that we may offer and sell, from time to time, in one or more offerings, at prices and terms to be determined, up to $100 million of our Common Shares, warrants to purchase our Common Shares, our senior and subordinated debt securities, and rights to purchase our Common Shares and/or senior and subordinated debt securities. The registration statement became effective May 27, 2020 for a three-year period.

On May 29, 2020, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (formerly, B. Riley FBR, Inc.), under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell Common Shares at market prices on the NYSE American or other U.S. market through the agent for aggregate sales proceeds of up to $10,000,000. The Sales Agreement replaces the prior At Market Issuance Sales Agreement entered by the Company on May 27, 2016, as amended. In 2020 Q4, we utilized the Sales Agreement and received gross proceeds of $0.1 million. We have not utilized the facility in 2021.

2020 Registered Direct Offering

On August 4, 2020, the Company closed a $4.68 million registered direct offering of 9,000,000 common shares and accompanying one-half common share warrants to purchase up to 4,500,000 common shares, at a combined public offering price of $0.52 per common share and accompanying warrant, with gross proceeds to the Company of $4.68 million. After fees and expenses of $0.4 million, net proceeds to the Company were $4.3 million.

2021 Underwritten Public Offering

The Company closed on February 4, 2021 a $15.2 million underwritten public offering of 16,930,530 common shares and accompanying one-half common share warrants to purchase up to 8,465,265 common shares, at a combined public offering price of $0.90 per common share and accompanying one-half common share warrant. The gross proceeds to Ur‑Energy from this offering were approximately $15.2 million. After fees and expenses of $1.3 million, net proceeds to the Company were approximately $13.9 million.

Liquidity Outlook

As of May 5, 2021, our unrestricted cash position was $15.8 million. 

In addition to our cash position, our finished, ready-to-sell, conversion facility inventory, worth $8.6 million at recent spot prices, is immediately realizable, if necessary. After completing the 2021 underwritten public offering discussed above, we do not anticipate selling our existing finished-product inventory in 2021 at spot market prices. As discussed below, we currently intend to preserve our U.S. origin pounds for possible delivery into the U.S. uranium reserve program, which has been signed into law but not yet implemented. 

Looking Ahead

Recognition of nuclear power’s role in achieving net-zero carbon emissions goals has resulted in a renewed interest in the uranium sector. The Paris Climate Agreement calls for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and the U.S. has rejoined the agreement under the Biden Administration, which is demonstrating support for the nuclear industry.

In February 2021, we raised gross proceeds of $15.2 million through an underwritten public offering. After fees and expenses of $1.3 million, net proceeds to the Company were approximately $13.9 million. Our current cash position as of May 5, 2021, is $15.8 million. In addition to our strong cash position, we have nearly 285,000 pounds of finished, ready-to-sell inventory, worth $8.6 million at recent spot prices. The financing provides us with adequate funds to maintain and enhance operational readiness, for possible future acquisitions, and for general working capital purposes, including the preservation of our existing inventory for higher prices.

31

In addition to the restructuring of the State Bond Loan, we implemented Company-wide cost-saving measures during 2020. Together, the restructuring and cost-saving measures are estimated to exceed $7 million and $4 million in calendar years 2021 and 2022, respectively.

In 2021, our technical and operational staff will continue to optimize processes and refine production plans to strengthen our operational readiness at the fully permitted Lost Creek mine and plant. After recent receipt of an approved license amendment, the Lost Creek facility now has the constructed and licensed capacity to process up to 2.2 million pounds of U3O8 per year and sufficient mineral resources to feed the processing plant for many years to come. We remain prepared to expand uranium production at Lost Creek to an annualized run rate of up to 1.2 million pounds. A ramp-up of production at Lost Creek would initially include further development work in the first two mine units, followed by the ten additional mining areas as defined in the Lost Creek Property Preliminary Economic Assessment, as amended. 

Our long-tenured operational and professional staff have significant levels of experience and adaptability which will allow for an easier transition back to full operations. Lost Creek operations can increase to full production rates in as little as six months following a go decision, simply by developing additional header houses within the fully permitted MU2. Development expenses during this six-month ramp up period are estimated to be approximately $14 million and are almost entirely related to MU2 drilling and header house construction costs. We are prepared to ramp up and to deliver our Lost Creek production inventory to the new national uranium reserve. 

Additionally, with all major permits and authorizations for our Shirley Basin Project now in hand, we stand ready to construct at the mine site when market conditions warrant. We estimate up to nine years production at the project based upon the mineral resources reported in the Shirley Basin Preliminary Economic Assessment.  

We will continue to closely monitor the uranium market and any actions or remedies resulting from the U.S. Nuclear Fuel Working Group’s report, the implementation of the uranium reserve program, or any further legislative actions, which may positively impact the uranium production industry. Until such time, we will continue to minimize costs and maximize the ‘runway’ to maintain our current operations and the operational readiness needed to ramp-up production when called upon.

Transactions with Related Parties

There were no transactions with related parties during the quarter.

Proposed Transactions

As is typical of the mineral exploration, development and mining industry, we will consider and review potential merger, acquisition, investment and venture transactions and opportunities that could enhance shareholder value. Timely disclosure of such transactions is made as soon as reportable events arise.

32

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have established the existence of uranium resources at the Lost Creek Property, but because of the unique nature of in situ recovery mines, we have not established, and have no plans to establish, the existence of proven and probable reserves at this project. Accordingly, we have adopted an accounting policy with respect to the nature of items that qualify for capitalization for in situ U₃O₈ mining operations to align our policy to the accounting treatment that has been established as best practice for these types of mining operations.

The development of the wellfield includes injection, production and monitor well drilling and completion, piping within the wellfield and to the processing facility and header houses used to monitor production and disposal wells associated with the operation of the mine. These costs are expensed when incurred.

Mineral Properties

Acquisition costs of mineral properties are capitalized. When production is attained at a property, these costs will be amortized over a period of estimated benefit.

Development costs including, but not limited to, production wells, header houses, piping and power will be expensed as incurred as we have no proven and probable reserves.

Inventory and Cost of Sales

Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value based on projected revenues from the sale of that product. We are allocating all costs of operations of the Lost Creek facility to the inventory valuation at various stages of production with the exception of wellfield and disposal well costs which are treated as development expenses when incurred. Depreciation of facility enclosures, equipment and asset retirement obligations as well as amortization of the acquisition cost of the related property is also included in the inventory valuation. We do not allocate any administrative or other overhead to the cost of the product.

Share-Based Expense

We are required to initially record all equity instruments including warrants, restricted share units and stock options at fair value in the financial statements.

Management utilizes the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of the warrants and stock options at the time they are issued. In addition, the fair value of derivative warrants is recalculated quarterly using the Black-Scholes model with any gain or loss being reflected in the net income for the period. Use of the Black-Scholes model requires management to make estimates regarding the expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the future life of the equity instrument, the estimate of the expected life of the equity instrument and the number of options that are expected to be forfeited. Determination of these estimates requires significant judgment and requires management to formulate estimates of future events based on a limited history of actual results.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any material off balance sheet arrangements such as guaranteed contracts, contingent interests in assets transferred to unconsolidated entities, derivative instrument obligations, or with respect to any obligations under a variable interest entity arrangement.

Outstanding Share Data

As of May 5, 2021, we had outstanding 189,389,100 Common Shares and 9,967,551 options to acquire Common Shares.

Market risk is the risk to the Company of adverse financial impact due to changes in the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments as a result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

Financial instruments that expose the Company to interest rate risk are its cash equivalents, deposits, restricted cash and debt financing. Our objectives for managing our cash and cash equivalents are to maintain sufficient funds on hand at all times to meet day-to-day requirements and to place any amounts which are considered in excess of day-to-day requirements on short-term deposit with the Company's financial institutions so that they earn interest.

Currency risk

At March 31, 2021, we maintained a balance of approximately $1.6 million in Canadian dollars. The funds will be used to pay Canadian dollar expenses and are considered to be a low currency risk to the Company.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is subject to market risk related to the market price of uranium. Future sales would be impacted by both spot and long-term uranium price fluctuations. Historically, uranium prices have been subject to fluctuation, and the price of uranium has been and will continue to be affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including the demand for nuclear power, political and economic conditions, governmental legislation in uranium producing and consuming countries, and production levels and costs of production of other producing companies. The average spot market price was $30.25 per pound as of May 5, 2021.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this MD&A, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act: (1) is recorded, processed and summarized effectively and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include components of internal control over financial reporting. No matter how well designed and operated, internal controls over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 mining company, 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 mining methods used by the Company on the Lost Creek Property, and the definition of “mineral reserves” under National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”), which uses the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards, the Company has not determined whether the properties contain mineral reserves. However, the Company’s “Amended Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Lost Creek Property, Sweetwater County, Wyoming,” February 8, 2016 (“Lost Creek PEA”) outlines the potential viability of the Lost Creek Property. 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 disposition of the 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 U₃O₈ within the State section under lease at Lost Creek and are therefore 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.

Pathfinder Mines

The Company acquired additional Wyoming properties when Ur-Energy USA Inc. closed a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with an AREVA Mining affiliate in December 2013. Under the terms of the SPA, the Company purchased Pathfinder Mines Corporation (“Pathfinder”). Assets acquired in this transaction include the Shirley Basin mine, portions of the Lucky Mc mine, machinery and equipment, vehicles, office equipment, and development databases. Pathfinder was acquired for aggregate consideration of $6.7 million, the assumption of $5.7 million in estimated asset reclamation obligations, and other consideration.

Other U.S. properties

Other U.S. properties include the acquisition costs of several prospective mineralized properties, which the Company continues to maintain through claim payments, lease payments, insurance, and other holding costs in anticipation of future exploration efforts.

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 calls for payments of interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per annum on a quarterly basis commencing January 1, 2014. The principal was to be paid in 28 quarterly installments commencing January 1, 2015.

On October 1, 2019, the Sweetwater County Commissioners and the State of Wyoming approved an eighteen month deferral of principal payments beginning October 1, 2019. On October 6, 2020, the State Bond Loan was again modified to defer principal payments for an additional eighteen months. Quarterly principal payments are scheduled to resume on October 1, 2022 and the last payment will be due on October 1, 2024.

On April 16, 2020, we obtained two Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans (one for each of our subsidiaries with U.S. payroll obligations) through the Bank of Oklahoma Financial (“BOKF”). The program was a part of the CARES Act enacted by Congress March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. The combined loan amount was $0.9 million.

On June 5, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (the “Flexibility Act”) became law. The Flexibility Act changes key provisions of the PPP, including maturity of the loans, deferral of loan payments, and the forgiveness of the PPP loans, with revisions being retroactive to the date of the CARES Act.

Under the program, as modified by the Flexibility Act and SBA and Treasury rulemakings, the repayment of our loans, including interest, may be forgiven based on eligible payroll, payroll-related, and other allowable costs incurred in a twenty-four-week period following the funding of the loans. To have the full amount of the loans forgiven, the following requirements must be met within that period, and be sufficiently documented in the application for forgiveness:

(1) Spend not less than 60% of loan proceeds on eligible payroll costs.

(2) Spend the remaining loan proceeds on:

a. additional eligible payroll costs above 60%;

b. payments of interest on mortgage obligations incurred before February 15, 2020;

c. rent payments on leases dated before February 15, 2020; and/or  

d. utility payments under service agreements dated before February 15, 2020.

(3) Maintain employee compensation levels (subject to specific program requirements).

For any portion of the loans that is not forgiven, the program provides for an initial deferral of payments based upon the timing of a borrower’s application for forgiveness and SBA’s action on the application up to a maximum of ten months after the use and forgiveness covered period ends (July 30, 2021). Any remaining amount owing on the loans has a two-year maturity (April 16, 2022), unless renegotiated with the lender for up to a five-year term, with an interest rate of one percent per annum. We anticipate the loans will meet the requirements for forgiveness under this program. In December 2020, we applied for loan forgiveness with the BOKF. The BOKF, after reviewing the loan forgiveness applications, submitted them to the SBA for approval in March 2021. We have not yet received loan forgiveness approval and therefore continue to treat the PPP loans as debt.

The following table summarizes the Company’s current and long-term debts.

Asset retirement obligations ("ARO") relate to the Lost Creek mine and Pathfinder projects and are equal to the current estimated reclamation cost escalated at an inflation rate and then discounted at credit adjusted risk-free rates ranging from 0.33% to 7.25%. Current estimated reclamation costs include costs of closure, reclamation, demolition and stabilization of the well fields, processing plants, infrastructure, aquifer restoration, waste dumps, and ongoing post-closure environmental monitoring and maintenance costs. The schedule of payments required to settle the future reclamation extends through 2033.

In September 2018, we issued 13,062,878 warrants as part of an underwritten public offering with two warrants redeemable for one Common Share of the Company’s stock at a price of $1.00 per full share. The warrants expire in September 2021.

In August 2020, we issued 9,000,000 warrants as part of a registered direct offering with two warrants redeemable for one Common Share of the Company’s stock at a price of $0.75 per full share. The warrants expire in August 2022.

In February 2021, we issued 16,930,530 warrants as part of an underwritten public offering with two warrants redeemable for one Common Share of the Company’s stock at a price of $1.35 per full share. The warrants expire in February 2024.

Because the warrants are priced in U.S. dollars and the functional currency of Ur-Energy Inc. is Canadian dollars, a derivative financial liability was created. The liability created, and adjusted quarterly, is calculated using the Black-Scholes technique 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 for the period.

The Company’s warrant liabilities consist of the following:

Common shares

The Company’s share capital consists of an unlimited amount of Class A preferred shares authorized, without par value, of which no shares are issued and outstanding; and an unlimited amount of common shares authorized, without par value, of which 189,389,100 shares and 170,253,752 shares were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

On February 4, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 14,722,200 common shares and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 7,361,100 common shares, at a combined public offering price of $0.90 per common share and accompanying warrant. The warrants will have an exercise price of $1.35 per whole common share and will expire three years from the date of issuance. Ur-Energy also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,208,330 common shares and warrants to purchase up to 1,104,165 common shares on the same terms. The option was exercised in full. Including the exercised option, Ur-Energy issued a total of 16,930,530 common shares and 16,930,530 warrants to purchase up to 8,465,265 common shares. The gross proceeds to Ur‑Energy from this offering were approximately $15.2 million. After fees and expenses of $1.3 million, net proceeds to the Company were approximately $13.9 million.

Stock options

In 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Company's stock option plan (the “Option Plan”). The Option Plan was most recently approved by the shareholders on May 7, 2020. Eligible participants under the Option Plan include directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. Under the terms of the Option Plan, grants of options will vest over a three-year period: 33.3% on the first anniversary, 33.3% on the second anniversary, and 33.4% on the third anniversary of the grant. The term of the options is five years.

Activity with respect to stock options is summarized as follows:

	Outstanding			Weighted-average
Stock Option Activity	Options			exercise price
December 31, 2020		11,910,424		$	0.61

Forfeited		(219,055	)		0.56
March 31, 2021		9,967,551		$	0.62

The exercise price of a new grant is set at the closing price for the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date and there is no intrinsic value as of the date of grant.

We received $1.1 million from options exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2021. No options were exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Stock-based compensation expense from stock options was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As of March 31, 2021, there was approximately $1.0 million unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to the Option Plan. The expenses are expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.1 years under the Option Plan.

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 three months ended March 31, 2021 (approximately US$1.10), that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on that date. There were 9,967,551 in-the-money stock options outstanding and 4,888,345 in-the-money stock options exercisable as of March 31, 2021.

Restricted share units

On June 24, 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Company’s restricted share unit plan (the “RSU Plan”). The RSU Plan was approved by our shareholders most recently on May 2, 2019.

Eligible participants under the RSU Plan include directors and employees of the Company. Granted RSUs are redeemed on the second anniversary of the grant. Upon an RSU vesting, 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:

				Weighted average
	Outstanding			grant date
Restricted Share Unit Activity	RSUs			fair value

Stock-based compensation expense from RSUs was $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As of March 31, 2021, there was approximately $0.4 million unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to the RSU Plan. The expenses are expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting perios of 1.1 years under the RSU Plan.

Black-Scholes value (CAD$)		$0.39			$0.26			$0.00		$0.34

Fair value calculations

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 Treasury Note constant maturities that approximate the expected life. The Company has never paid dividends and currently has no plans to do so.

Share-based compensation expense is recognized net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, which results in expensing the awards that are ultimately expected to vest over the expected life. Forfeitures and expected lives were estimated based on actual historical experience.

17. Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable. The Company is exposed to risks related to changes in interest rates and management of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash. 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 $0.5 million is covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, or the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, leaving approximately $25.0 million at risk on March 31, 2021 should the financial institutions with which these amounts are invested be rendered insolvent. The Company does not consider any of its financial assets to be impaired as of March 31, 2021.

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 March 31, 2021, the current Company’s financial liabilities consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.4 million, and the current portion of notes payable of $0.8 million.

As of March 31, 2021, we had $17.6 million of cash and cash equivalents. In addition to our cash position, our finished, ready-to-sell, conversion facility inventory value is immediately realizable, if necessary. We do not anticipate selling our existing finished-product inventory in 2021, unless market conditions change sufficiently to warrant its sale.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company has completed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact that a change in interest rates would have on the net loss of the Company. This sensitivity analysis shows that a change of +/- 100 basis points in interest rate would have a negligible effect on the three months ended March 31, 2021. The financial position of the Company may vary at the time that a change in interest rates occurs causing the impact on the Company’s results to vary.
