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 controlled, steady-state operations at Lost Creek; (ii) the outcome of our forecasts and production projections, including the anticipated production of Lost Creek for 2018; (iii) the timing and outcome of permitting and regulatory approvals of the amendment 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 production inventory is available; (v) the timing and outcome of applications for regulatory approval to build and operate an in situ recovery mine at Shirley Basin; (vi) resolution of the continuing challenges within the uranium market, including supply and demand projections; (vii) the outcome of the Department of Commerce Section 232 investigation, including whether the Secretary of Commerce will make a recommendation to the U.S. President, and the nature of the recommendation, whether the President will act on the recommendation and, if so, the nature of the action and remedy; and (viii) the expected impacts of any remedial measures from the Section 232 action on U.S. production and the U.S. uranium mining industry. Additional factors include, among others, the following: future estimates for production; capital expenditures; operating costs; mineral resources; recovery rates; grades; 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; challenges presented by current inventories and largely unrestricted imports of uranium products into the U.S.; 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; compliance with environmental laws and regulations; uncertainty regarding the pricing and collection of accounts; 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; adverse changes in general business conditions in any of the countries in which we do business; changes in size and structure; the effectiveness of management and our strategic relationships; ability to attract and retain key personnel; 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 March 2, 2018.

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 “resource” 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: James A. Bonner, Ur-Energy Vice President Geology, P.Geo. and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this Form 10-Q.

Condensed Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2018

(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 was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on August 8, 2006. Headquartered in Littleton, Colorado, the Company is an exploration stage mining company, as defined by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7. The Company is engaged in uranium mining and recovery operations, with activities including the acquisition, exploration, development and production of uranium mineral resources located in Wyoming. As of August 2013, the Company commenced uranium production at its Lost Creek Project in Wyoming.

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 property contains 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

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for annual financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all normal adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. We apply the same accounting policies as in the prior year other than as noted below. The year-end balance sheet data were derived from the audited financial statements and certain information and footnote disclosures required by US GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

New accounting pronouncements which may affect future reporting

information for proper disclosure of the office lease once the ASU is effective. We will continue to monitor any new leases to ensure that we have all the information necessary to handle the transition to the new standard and properly report the transactions. We do not anticipate the new standard will affect our net income materially, but will result in additional fixed assets and related lease liabilities.

New accounting pronouncements which were implemented this year

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The amendments in ASU 2014-09 affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU superseded the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance, and creates a Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of the promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018. The Company purchases and produces U₃O₈ and recognizes revenue at point of transfer of control so revenue will continue to be recognized at that point under the new standard. The adoption of the new standard had no impact on either our current or prior revenue recognition processes or reporting, which, electing the retrospective basis for implementing the standard, results in no changes to prior financial reporting. In addition, there is no change in our revenue recognition treatment in the current period.

Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of U₃O₈ under either long-term (delivery in typically two to five years) or spot (immediate delivery) contracts with our customers. The contracts specify the quantity to be delivered, the price or specific calculation method of the price, payment terms and the year(s) of the delivery. There may be some variability in the dates of the delivery or the quantity to be delivered depending on the contract, but those issues are addressed before the delivery date. When a delivery is approved, the Company notifies the conversion facility with instructions for a title transfer to the customer. Revenue is recognized once a title transfer of the U₃O₈ is confirmed by the conversion facility.

We also receive a small amount of revenue from disposal fees. We have contracts with our customers which specify the type and volume of material which can be disposed. Monthly, we invoice those customers based on deliveries of material to the disposal site by the customer. Materials are measured and categorized at the time of delivery and verified by the customer. We recognize the revenue at the end of the month in which the material was received.

determinable fair values to be remeasured at fair value either upon the occurrence of an observable price change or upon identification of an impairment. The amendments also require enhanced disclosures about those investments. The amendments improve financial reporting by providing relevant information about an entity’s equity investments and reducing the number of items that are recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted the amended Topic 825 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on our financial statements or other financial reporting.

3.Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of the following:


	As at

In-process inventory	359	315
Plant inventory	665	369
Conversion facility inventory	11,144	3,831

	12,168	4,515

The Company’s classification of its inventory as either short or long-term inventory requires it to estimate the portion of on-hand inventory that will be realized over the next 12 months and does not include inventories which are not expected to be both purchased and realized in cost of sales over the next 12 months. As the Company has purchase contracts as of September 30, 2018 to acquire sufficient inventory to fulfill their contract deliveries in the next 12 months, the inventory as of September 30, 2018 is considered long-term.

In conjunction with our lower of cost or net realizable value calculations, the Company reduced the inventory valuation by $268 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The bonding requirements for reclamation obligations on various properties have been agreed to by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (“WDEQ”), the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) as applicable. The restricted money market accounts are pledged as collateral against performance surety bonds which are used to secure the potential costs of reclamation related to those properties. Surety bonds providing $27.1 million of coverage towards specific reclamation obligations are collateralized by $7.4 million of the restricted cash at September 30, 2018.

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 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. Other royalties exist on certain mining claims at the LC South, LC East and EN Projects. Currently, 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”) to acquire additional mineral properties. 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, a 5% production royalty under certain circumstances and the assumption of $5.7 million in estimated asset reclamation obligations. At June 30, 2016, the royalty expired and was terminated.

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 is payable in 28 quarterly installments commencing January 1, 2015 and continuing through October 1, 2021.

Deferred loan fees include legal fees, commissions, commitment fees and other costs associated with obtaining the financing. Those fees amortizable within 12 months of September 30, 2018 are considered current.

10.Asset Retirement and Reclamation Obligations

Asset retirement obligations ("ARO") relate to the Lost Creek mine and Pathfinder projects and are equal to the present value of all estimated future costs required to remediate any environmental disturbances that exist as of the end of the period discounted at a risk-free rate. Included in this liability are the costs of closure, reclamation, demolition and stabilization of the mines, processing plants, infrastructure, aquifer restoration, waste dumps and ongoing post-closure environmental monitoring and maintenance costs.

At September 30, 2018, the total undiscounted amount of the future cash needs was estimated to be $27.0 million. The schedule of payments required to settle the ARO liability extends through 2033.

The restricted cash as discussed in note 5 is related to the surety bonds which provide security to the governmental agencies on these obligations.

11.Other Liabilities

As a part of the September 2018 public offering, we sold 13,062,878 warrants priced at $0.01 per warrant. Two warrants are redeemable for one Common Share of the Company’s stock at a price of $1.00 per full share. As the warrants are priced in US$ and the functional currency of the Ur-Energy Inc. is C$, this created a derivative financial liability. The liability created and adjusted quarterly is a calculated fair value using the Black-Scholes technique described below as there is no active market for the warrants. Any income or loss is reflected in net income for the period. The revaluation as of September 30, 2018 resulted in a gain of $11 for the period ended September 30, 2018 which is reflected on the statement of operations.

12.Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Stock

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, including certain amendments, on May 18, 2017. Eligible participants under the Option Plan include directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. Under the terms of the Option Plan, stock options granted prior to the May 2017 amendment generally vest with Option Plan participants as follows: 10% at the date of grant; 22% four and one-half months after grant; 22% nine months after grant; 22% thirteen and one-half months after grant; and the balance of 24% eighteen months after the date of grant. Following the May 2017 amendment 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 options remains unchanged.

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 of Cdn$1.05 as of the last trading day in the period ended September 30, 2018, that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options as of that date. The total number of in-the-money stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2018 was 8,622,610. The total number of in-the-money stock options exercisable as of September 30, 2018 was 5,286,040.

We elect to estimate the number of awards expected to vest in lieu of accounting for forfeitures when they occur.

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 5, 2016.

Eligible participants under the RSU Plan include directors and employees of the Company. RSUs in a grant redeem on the second anniversary of the grant. Upon RSU vesting, the holder of an RSU will receive one common share, for no additional consideration, for each RSU held.

Activity with respect to RSUs is summarized as follows:

Share-based compensation expense

Share-based compensation expense was $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

As of September 30, 2018, there was approximately $0.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense (net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures) related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Option Plan and $0.5 million under the RSU Plan. The expenses are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years and 1.4 years, respectively.

Cash received from stock options exercised totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $nil and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

Fair value calculations

The initial fair value of options and RSUs granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options and the intrinsic pricing model for RSUs. There were no RSUs granted in the nine months

ended September 30, 2017. The assumptions used for the options, RSUs and warrants granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 were as follows:


	Nine months ended September 30,	Nine months ended September 30,
	2018	2017
Expected option life (years)	3.74-3.76	3.70
Expected warrant life (years)	3.00	-
Expected volatility	53.8%-55.2%	57.45%
Risk-free interest rate	1.9%-2.2%	1.00%
Expected dividend rate	0%	0%
Forfeiture rate (options)	6.0%	5.4%
Forfeiture rate (warrants)	0.0%	-
Forfeiture rate (RSUs)	5.9%	-

The Company estimates expected volatility using daily historical trading data of the Company’s Common Shares, because this is recognized as a valid method used to predict future volatility. The risk-free interest rates are determined by reference to Canadian Treasury Note constant maturities that approximate the expected option term. 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 recognition of expense on options that are ultimately expected to vest over the expected option term. Forfeitures were estimated using actual historical forfeiture experience.

13. Sales

Sales have been derived from U₃O₈ being sold to domestic utilities, primarily under term contracts, as well as to a trader through spot sales.

15.Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, deposits, 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 $0.7 million is covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation or the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, leaving approximately $18.4 million at risk at September 30, 2018 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 September 30, 2018.

All of the Company’s customers have Moody’s Baa or greater ratings and purchase from the Company under contracts with set prices and payment terms.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due.

As at September 30, 2018, the Company’s financial liabilities consisted of trade accounts payable and accrued trade and payroll liabilities of $1.0 million which are due within normal trade terms of generally 30 to 60 days and a note payable which will be payable over a period of approximately three years.

We entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with MLV & Co. LLC and B Riley FBR, Inc. (May 2016, as amended August 2017) 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 distribution agents for aggregate sales proceeds of up to $10,000,000. We have not used the facility in 2018. During 2017, we sold 1,536,169 Common Shares under the sales agreement at an average price of $0.76 per share for gross proceeds of $1.2 million. After deducting transaction fees and commissions we received net proceeds of $1.1 million.

We expect that any major capital projects will be funded by operating cash flow, cash on hand or additional financing as required. If these cash sources are not sufficient, certain capital projects could be delayed, or alternatively we may need to pursue additional debt or equity financing to which there is no assurance that such financing will be available at all or on terms acceptable to us.

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 either the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or the comparable nine months in 2017. 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 differ from that shown above.

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, 2017.

Incorporated on March 22, 2004, Ur-Energy is an exploration stage mining company, as that term is defined in SEC Industry Guide 7. We are engaged in uranium mining, recovery and processing activities, including the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of uraniummineral 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 U.S. subsidiaries remain unchanged since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, dated March 2, 2018.

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 U₃O_8, 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 uranium for delivery into sales, is designed and anticipated to process up to one million pounds of U₃O₈ annually from the Lost Creek mine. The processing facility has the physical design capacity to process two million pounds of U₃O₈ annually, which provides additional capacity 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 application contemplates the construction of a full processing facility, providing greater construction and operating flexibility as may be dictated by market conditions.

We have multiple U₃O₈sales agreements in place into 2021 with various U.S. utilities for the sale of U₃O₈ at term contract pricing. Historically, the multi-year sales agreements represented a portion of our planned production. Individually, term sales agreements do not represent a substantial portion of our operational budget, and our business is therefore not substantially dependent upon any one of the agreements. More recently, in 2017 and 2018, we purchased U₃O₈ and delivered the product into our sales contracts. With commitments in place to purchase product for delivery into our 2019 sales contracts, our Lost Creek production inventory is expected to increase unless market or other conditions warrant sales at spot pricing or we reach agreement for additional term agreements.

Trade Action

In response to the challenges of uranium market conditions, primary among them imports to the U.S. emanating from state-sponsored producers in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, in January 2018, Ur-Energy USA and Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. (Energy Fuels) initiated a trade action with the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act with the filing of a petition for relief (the “Petition”). We chose this statutory framework for relief because we recognized that the current imbalance in the U.S. uranium market has created a very real threat to our national security.

The Petition describes how uranium and nuclear fuel from state-owned and state-subsidized enterprises in Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and China represent a threat to U.S. national security. The Petition seeks a remedy which will set a quota to limit imports of uranium into the U.S., effectively reserving 25% of the U.S. nuclear market for U.S. uranium production. Additionally, the Petition suggests implementation of a requirement for U.S. federal utilities and agencies to buy U.S. uranium in accordance with the Administration's Buy American Policy.

On July 18, 2018, DOC announced it initiated an “investigation into whether the present quantity and circumstances of uranium ore and product imports into the United States threaten to impair national security.” Thereafter, the DOC announced a public comment period which subsequently closed on September 25, 2018. Other aspects of the investigation are proceeding; the investigation must be complete by April 15, 2019. Thereafter, the President has 90 days (until July 15, 2019) to act on the DOC’s recommendations and, if necessary, to take action to “adjust the imports” and/or pursue other lawful, non-trade related actions necessary to address the import threat. There can be no certainty of the outcome of the DOC investigation or the recommendation of the Secretary of Commerce, and therefore the outcome of this process and its effects on the U.S. uranium market is uncertain.

Equity Financing

In September, the Company announced a US$10 million public offering of common shares. The offering of 12,195,122 common shares and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 6,097,561 common shares, at a combined public offering price of $0.82 per common share and accompanying warrant, closed on September 25, 2018. Ur-Energy also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,829,268 additional common shares and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 914,634 common shares on the same terms. The 30-day option period has now expired. The underwriters exercised a portion of their option to purchase additional securities at closing, acquiring 867,756 additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 433,878 common shares. The underwriters made no further exercise of the option to purchase additional securities after closing. Including the partial exercise of the option, Ur-Energy issued a total of 12,195,122 common shares and 13,062,878 warrants to purchase up to 6,531,439 common shares. Net proceeds from the offering was approximately $9.2 million. We anticipate that proceeds from the offering will be used to maintain and enhance operational readiness; additionally, proceeds may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Mineral Rights and Properties

Eleven of our thirteen U.S. uranium properties are located in the Great Divide Basin, Wyoming, including Lost Creek. Currently we control nearly 1,900 unpatented mining claims and three State of Wyoming mineral leases for a total of approximately 37,500 acres (15,530 hectares) 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”). In the Shirley Basin, Wyoming, our Shirley Basin Project comprises more than 3,700

Table of Contents

Company-controlled acres. Our Lucky Mc Project holds 1,800 acres in Fremont County, Wyoming. Additionally, we have approximately 2,100 acres of federal lode mining claims in the Excelsior Mountains in Nevada, at our Excel gold project.

Lost Creek Property

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we made no sales of U₃O₈. Production during the third quarter continued from Mine Unit 1 (MU1) as well as Mine Unit 2 (MU2). 80,604 pounds of U₃O₈ were captured within the Lost Creek plant, 78,441 pounds of U₃O₈ were packaged in drums and 72,902 pounds of U₃O₈drummed inventory were shipped out of the Lost Creek processing plant to the conversion facility. The foregoing consistent production, processing, drying and shipping allowed us to continue to build inventory at the convertor which totaled approximately 308,762 at September 30, 2018. The Results of Operations are detailed further below.

Regulatory Update

Applications for amendment to the Lost Creek licenses and permits were submitted in 2014. The amendments seek to include recovery from the uranium resource in the LC East project immediately adjacent to the Lost Creek project. Reviews by WDEQ and the cooperating agencies, led by the BLM, continue to progress, including the routine exchange of comments and responses. The BLM issued a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) in July, and invited public comment on the DEIS. The public comment period closed on October 15, 2018. We anticipate that permits and authorizations will be completed in H1 2019.

Effective September 30, 2018, Wyoming became the 38th state to assume responsibility from the NRC for the regulation of radiation safety at uranium recovery facilities like Lost Creek. The Wyoming State Uranium Recovery Program (URP), a part of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, will oversee the licensing process for source material licenses as well as the operations of licensees in Wyoming. We welcome the change as it will streamline the process of licensing, should offer greater consistency in authorizations, and represents savings in the licensing phase which are estimated at approximately $2 million per project.

Shirley Basin Project

WDEQ continues with its technical review of our application for a permit to mine at Shirley Basin, which was submitted in December 2015. Our application for a source material license for Shirley Basin will proceed with the State URP. Work is well underway on initial engineering evaluations, designs and studies.

Results of Operations

U₃O₈ Production and Sales

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, a total of 80,604 pounds of U₃O₈ were captured within the Lost Creek plant. 78,441 pounds were packaged in drums and 72,902 pounds of the drummed inventory were shipped to the conversion facility. Inventory, production and sales figures for the Lost Creek Project are presented in the following tables. We are presenting the data in the tables for the last four quarters because the nature of our operations is not regularly based on the calendar year. We therefore feel that presenting the last four quarters is a more meaningful representation of operations than comparing comparable periods in the previous year and enables the reader to better perform trend analysis.

The cash cost per pound and non-cash cost per pound for produced uranium presented in the following Production Costs and U₃O₈ Sales and Cost of Sales tables are non-US GAAP measures. These measures do not have a standardized meaning within US GAAP or a defined basis of calculation. These measures are used by management to assess business performance and determine production and pricing strategies. They may also be used by certain investors to evaluate performance. Please see the tables, below, for reconciliations of these measures to the US GAAP compliant financial measures. Production figures for the Lost Creek Project are as follows:

Notes:

Wellfield cash costs include all wellfield operating costs. Wellfield construction and development costs, which include wellfield drilling, header houses, pipelines, power lines, roads, fences and disposal wells, are treated as development expense and are not included in wellfield operating costs.

Non-cash costs include the amortization of the investment in the mineral property acquisition costs and the depreciation of plant equipment, and the depreciation of their related asset retirement obligation costs. The expenses are calculated on a straight-line basis, so the expenses are typically constant for each quarter. The cost per pound from these costs will therefore typically vary based on production levels only.

Plant cash costs include all plant operating costs and site overhead costs.

⁴

Distribution cash costs include all shipping costs and costs charged by the conversion facility for weighing, sampling, assaying and storing the U₃O₈ prior to sale.

Production levels during the current quarter decreased as the MU2 header houses exhibited the anticipated production decline which was reflected in the total site production. Generally, our production was limited, reflecting our deliberate restriction of production in light of the persistently weak uranium market. Total production costs decreased 10% in 2018 Q3 compared to 2018 Q2 and 15% compared to 2018 Q1. The decrease resulted from a combination of certain non-recurring charges not being repeated and the previously announced cost reduction efforts.

Pounds captured decreased 8,605 pounds from 2018 Q2 as there were no new header houses added during the quarter. Total wellfield costs decreased $146 during the quarter. Ad valorem and severance taxes decreased due to a change in the projected sales price to be used in the annual calculations. Wellfield cash costs decreased during the quarter due to the reduction in labor costs after completion of the third header house and lower licensing costs. Because of the lower costs, the wellfield cash cost per pound captured decreased $0.54 per pound in 2018 Q3. Wellfield non-cash costs are generally fixed although they have been declining as various reclamation and smaller assets are becoming fully depreciated. The related wellfield non-cash cost per pound captured therefore increased $0.48 per pound.

Pounds drummed increased 4,139 pounds in 2018 Q3 over 2018 Q2 due to processing inventory which had been delayed in processing in the previous quarter due to maintenance at the plant. Total plant costs decreased $129 during the quarter due to lower fuel and labor expenses. Combined with the increase in pounds drummed, the plant cash cost per pound drummed decreased $2.43 per pound during the quarter. Plant non-cash costs are fixed so the related plant non-cash cost per pound drummed also decreased $0.46 per pound because of the increase in pounds drummed.

Pounds shipped remained relatively constant as two shipments totaling 72,902 pounds were shipped in 2018 Q3. Distribution costs in 2018 Q2 were slightly higher than the current quarter as the converter completed weighing and sampling on four deliveries. The distribution cash cost per pound increased $0.03 per pound shipped during the current quarter.

Notes:

Cost of sales include all production costs (notes 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the previous Production and Production Cost table) adjusted for changes in inventory values.

There were no U₃O₈ sales during the quarter.

We recognized a lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”) adjustment of $170 during the quarter. Those costs are included in our nine-month, year to date cost of sales and reduced the reported gross profit for the nine-month period by $269. The adjustment lowered our gross profit percentage for the year to 48.2% or a per pound reduction of $0.36 per pound.

At the end of the quarter, we had approximately 308,762 pounds of U₃O₈ at the conversion facility at an average cost per pound of $36.09. With commitments in place to purchase product for delivery into our 2019 sales contracts, our Lost Creek production is not expected to increase unless market or other conditions warrant sales at spot pricing or we reach an agreement for additional term agreements. As such, we may hold our existing inventory and sell it into our 2020 term contracts. However, it remains available for sale under spot prices if it is advantageous to do so.

The following table shows the average cost per pound of the conversion facility pounds.

The cost per pound in ending inventory at the conversion facility has fluctuated during recent quarters, but the fluctuation is primarily the result of the changes in production rate. As it takes time for the prices to move through the in-process, plant and conversion facility inventories, a change in production may not affect the conversion facility inventory valuation for several months. Our costs per pound have been higher than in previous years which reflects our deliberate restriction of production considering the persistently weak uranium market. While the cost per pound is higher than the current spot market price, it is projected to be sold into existing term contracts at prices greater than the current carrying amount.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP sales and inventory presentation with US GAAP statement presentation

As discussed above, the cash costs, non-cash costs and per pound calculations are non-US GAAP measures we use to assess business performance. To facilitate a better understanding of these measures, the tables below present a reconciliation of these measures to the financial results as presented in our financial statements.

The Company delivers U₃O₈ to a conversion facility and receives credit for a specified quantity measured in pounds once the product is confirmed to meet the required specifications. When a delivery is approved, the Company notifies the conversion facility with instructions for a title transfer to the customer. Revenue is recognized once a title transfer of the U₃O₈ is confirmed by the conversion facility.

The cost per pound sold reflects both cash and non-cash costs, which are combined as cost of sales in the statement of operations included in this filing. The cash and non-cash cost components are identified in the above inventory, production and sales table.

The cost of sales includes ad valorem and severance taxes related to the extraction of uranium, all costs of wellfield, plant and site 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 and the resulting inventoried cost per pound is compared to the estimated sales prices based on the contracts or spot sales anticipated for the distribution of the product. Any costs in excess of the calculated market value are charged to cost of sales.

Sales

We sold no U₃O₈ during the three months ended September 30, 2018. We sold a total of 480,000 pounds of U₃O₈ during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 for an average price of $48.86 per pound. We sold 289,000 and 780,000 pounds of U₃O₈ during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 for an average price of $40.39 and $49.09 per pound, respectively. The 2018 sales included term contract sales of 470,000 pounds, all from purchased inventory at an average price of $49.39 and one spot sale of 10,000 pounds of produced inventory for $23.75 per pound.

Cost of Sales

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our cost per pound sold for produced inventory increased $18.11 compared to the same period in 2017. This increase is a function of the low volume of sales of produced inventory in 2018 combined with $279 in NRV adjustments which are reflected in our produced cost per pound sold. The NRV adjustments increased the cost per pound of produced inventory by $27.90 per pound. In 2018, we purchased 470,000 pounds of uranium for the nine month period at an average cost of $24.42 per pound. Our overall average cost per pound sold was $25.32 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which represents a decrease of $5.48 per pound as compared to the same nine month period in 2017.

Table of Contents

Gross Profit

Our gross profit from the sale of uranium totaled $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and represented a gross profit of $23.52 per pound or 48% gross profit margin. This compares to three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 where our gross profits totaled $0.5 million and $14.3 million for the three and nine months and represented gross profit margins of 4% and 37%, respectively.

We have limited our development activities and thereby reduced production in light of the current depressed spot market, as discussed in previous filings. While we have taken measures to reduce operating costs, most of our costs are relatively fixed at all production levels, so the reduced production directly relates to the increase in our cost per pound for produced product. One of the largest costs we cannot reduce is our non-cash costs for depreciation and amortization. As we do not have reserves and are therefore an exploration company under the guidelines of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, we cannot use production or mineralization as a basis for calculating depreciation or amortization. As a result, our expenses for those items are the same now as they were when our production rate was significantly higher. Currently, these non-cash costs total $0.9 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Because of the fixed nature of our costs, our inventory cost exceeded the net realizable value of the inventory in the first and third quarter of the year. Accordingly, we reduced the inventory cost by $0.3 million for the nine months. As there were no sales during the quarter, these costs represent an expense for the quarter and are included in our cost of sales and gross profit calculations for the nine month period.

The net result is that while our overall production cost per pound has increased, much of that increase is due to the fixed nature of our costs such as the non-cash amortization of plant and mineral assets, and the inability to adjust the amortization to reflect current production.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $2.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Operating expenses include exploration and evaluation expense, development expense, and G&A expense. These expenses decreased by $0.8 million and $1.9 million compared to the same respective periods in 2017.

Exploration and evaluation expense consists of labor and associated costs of the exploration and evaluation departments as well as land holding and costs including drilling and analysis on properties which have not reached the permitting or operations stage. These expenses were $0.6 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and $0.6 million and $2.2 million for the same respective periods in 2017. All costs associated with the geology and geographic information systems departments, as well as the costs incurred on exploration-stage projects as described above, are reflected in this category. These costs are lower due to prior reductions in staff in these departments.

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 and Lucky Mc properties as they are in a more advanced stage. Development expenses decreased by $0.9 million and $2.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. The decrease was primarily related to the drilling and other development in MU2 during 2017 which was offset by an increase in professional and governmental fees.

Table of Contents

G&A expense relates to the administration, finance, investor relations, land and legal functions of the Company and consists principally of personnel, facility and support costs. Total G&A expense increased $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the respective amounts in 2017. The increase was mainly attributable to increased consulting and legal costs primarily related to the trade action.

Other Income and Expenses

Net interest expense declined $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the prior year. The expense decline was directly attributable to principal payments reducing the outstanding note balances of the Wyoming State Bond Loan.

In June 2018, we monetized the present value from portions of agreements with one of our utility customers related to 165,000 pounds of U₃O₈ to be delivered in 2021. We received proceeds of $3.5 million when the transaction was executed.

Earnings (loss) per Common Share

The basic earnings (loss) per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was ($0.02) and $0.04 compared to basic earnings of ($0.02) and $0.02 for 2017, respectively. The diluted loss per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and the three months ended September 30, 2017 were equal to the basic loss per common share due to the anti-dilutive effect of all convertible securities outstanding given that net losses were experienced. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there were 1,358,227 RSUs and 1,558,151 options included in the diluted earnings per share calculations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were 909,956 RSUs included in the diluted earnings. The result was diluted earnings per share of $0.04 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $0.02 in 2017. Dilution from warrants was not included as the strike price exceeded the then current market price of the Common Shares.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2018, we had cash resources consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $11.6 million, an increase of $7.7 million from the December 31, 2017 balance of $3.9 million. The cash resources consist of Canadian and U.S. dollar denominated deposit accounts and money market funds. We used $1.7 million for operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the same period, we generated $3.4 million from investing activities and $6.0 million for financing activities.

On October 23, 2013, we closed a $34.0 million Sweetwater County, State of Wyoming, Taxable Industrial Development Revenue Bond financing program (“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 is payable in 28 quarterly installments which commenced January 1, 2015 and continue through October 1, 2021. The State Bond Loan is secured by all of the assets at the Lost Creek Project. As of September 30, 2018, the balance of the State Bond Loan was $18.7 million.

On August 19, 2014, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 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 our senior and subordinated debt securities. The registration statement became effective September 12, 2014. The registration was renewed in 2017.

We entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with MLV & Co. LLC and B Riley FBR, Inc. (May 27, 2016, as amended August 2017), 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 distribution agents for aggregate sales proceeds of up to $10,000,000. We have not used the facility in 2018. During 2017, we sold 1,536,169 Common Shares under the sales agreement at an average price of $0.76 per share for gross proceeds of $1.2 million. After deducting transaction fees and commissions we received net proceeds of $1.1 million.

In September, the Company announced a US$10 million public offering of common shares. The offering of 12,195,122 common shares and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 6,097,561 common shares, at a combined public offering price of US$0.82 per common share and accompanying warrant, closed on September 25, 2018. We also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,829,268 additional common shares and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 914,634 common shares on the same terms. The 30-day option period has now expired. The underwriters exercised a portion of their option to purchase additional securities at closing, acquiring 867,756 additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 433,878 common shares. The underwriters made no further exercise of the option to purchase additional securities after closing. Including the partial exercise of the option, the Company issued a total of 12,195,122 common shares and 13,062,878 warrants to purchase up to 6,531,439 common shares. As the warrants are priced in US$ and the functional currency of Ur-Energy Inc. is C$, this created a derivative financial liability. The liability created and adjusted quarterly is a calculated fair value using the Black-Scholes technique described below as there is no active market for the warrants. Any income or loss is reflected in net income for the period. We anticipate that the public offering proceeds will be used to maintain and enhance operational readiness; additionally, proceeds may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

During 2018, a total of 420,344 stock options were exercised, which generated $0.2 million.

Collections from U₃O₈ sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $23.5 million.

Operating activities used cash of $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to generating $6.7 million during the same period in 2017. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $0.3 million less than the corresponding income in 2017 but included a $3.5 million gain from the monetization of contracts which was not considered an operating activity. In addition, $4.3 million was used to increase inventory balances, primarily at the conversion facility.

Investing activities included receiving $3.5 million from monetization of 2021 offtake deliveries. Investing cash outflows during 2018 were minimal and related primarily to the acquisition of a man lift.

During the first nine months of 2018, the Company raised net proceeds of $9.5 million from the sale of common shares and warrants. We used $3.6 million for principal payments on the State Bond Loan.

Liquidity Outlook

As at October 24, 2018, our unrestricted cash position was $10.7 million. We have no additional contract sales scheduled in 2018.

securities or obtain funding other than that which may be required due to the uneven nature of cash flows generated from operations; however, we may issue additional debt or equity securities at any time.

Looking ahead

At the end of the third quarter of 2018, the average spot price of U₃O₈, as reported by Ux Consulting Company, LLC and TradeTech, LLC, had increased to approximately $27.50 per pound. Market fundamentals have not changed sufficiently to warrant further development of MU2. We anticipate meeting our projected production level of 250,000 to 300,000 pounds drummed for the year.

Through September 30, 2018, we sold 470,000 pounds of U₃O₈ under term contracts at an average price of approximately $49.39 per pound and 10,000 pounds of U₃O₈under a spot sale for $23.75 per pound. We purchased 470,000 pounds at an average cost of $24.42 per pound. The remaining 10,000 pounds were delivered from our produced inventory. We have no more contract sales scheduled in 2018.

No additional new production areas are currently planned for the remainder of the year. Production guidance for Q4 is between 40,000 and 60,000 pounds U₃O₈ dried and drummed. Full year 2018 guidance, similar to 2017, estimates production of between 250,000 and 300,000 pounds, but our production rate may be adjusted based on operational matters and other indicators in the market.

As at October 24, 2018, our unrestricted cash position was $10.7 million.

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.

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, 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.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2018, the average current spot and long-term prices of U₃O₈ were $27.50 and $31.75, respectively. This compares to prices of $23.75 and $31.00 as of December 31, 2017. The prices increased during the quarter shortly after the announcement of the Section 232 filing. Whether or not the filing had a direct impact on the prices, we have no way to measure, but they seem to have stabilized at a level higher than what we have seen in recent years.

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 are 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.

New accounting pronouncements which may affect future reporting

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize all leases on the balance sheet, including operating leases, unless the lease is a short-term lease. ASU 2016-02 also requires additional disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. As at September 30, 2018, the Company’s only leases are for vehicles, equipment, and office space in one location. The Casper office and copier leases are the only leases currently remaining in effect as of the date of implementation of the standard. We have gathered the necessary information for proper disclosure of that lease once the ASU is effective. We will continue to monitor any new leases to ensure that we have all the information necessary to handle the transition to the new standard and properly report the transactions. We do not anticipate the new standard will affect our net income materially, but will result in additional fixed assets and the related lease liabilities.

New accounting pronouncements which were implemented this year

with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU superseded the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance, and creates a Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of the promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018. The Company purchases and produces U₃O₈ and recognizes revenue at point of sale so revenue will continue to be recognized at that point under the new standard. The adoption of the new standard had no impact on either our current or prior revenue recognition processes or reporting, which, electing the retrospective basis for implementing the standard, results in no changes to prior financial reporting. In addition, there is no change in our revenue recognition treatment in the current period.

Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of U₃O₈ under either long-term (delivery in typically two to five years) or spot (immediate delivery) contracts with our customers. The contracts specify the quantity to be delivered, the price or specific calculation method of the price, payment terms and the year(s) of the delivery. There may be some variability in the dates of the delivery or the quantity to be delivered depending on the contract, but those issues are addressed before the delivery date. On the date of the delivery, we receive notice from the storage facility of the transfer of material at which point we invoice the customer and record the sale.

We also receive a small amount of revenue from disposal fees. We have contracts with our customers which specify the type and volume of material which can be disposed. Monthly, we invoice those customers based on deliveries of material to the disposal site by the customer. Materials are measured and categorized at the time of delivery and verified by the customer. We recognize the revenue when the invoice is prepared at the end of the month in which the material was received.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-1, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Topic 825). The amendments in this ASU supersede the guidance to classify equity securities with readily determinable fair values into different categories (that is, trading or available-for-sale) and require equity securities (including other ownership interests, such as partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures, and limited liability companies) to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendments allow equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values to be remeasured at fair value either upon the occurrence of an observable price change or upon identification of an impairment. The amendments also require enhanced disclosures about those investments. The amendments improve financial reporting by providing relevant information about an entity’s equity investments and reducing the number of items that are recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted the amended Topic 825 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on our financial statements or other financial reporting.

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 October 24, 2018, we had outstanding 159,147,399 Common Shares and 9,625,371 options to acquire Common Shares.

Item 3. QUANTITAVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk

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 financings. 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 September 30, 2018, we maintained a balance of approximately $0.3 million in foreign currency resulting in a low currency risk which is our typical balance.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is subject to market risk related to the market price of U₃O₈. We have U₃O₈ supply contracts with pricing fixed or based on inflation factors applied to a fixed base. Additional future sales would be impacted by both spot and long-term U₃O₈ price fluctuations. Historically, U₃O₈ prices have been subject to fluctuation, and the price of U₃O₈ has been and will continue to be affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including the demand for nuclear power, political and economic conditions, and governmental legislation in U₃O₈ producing and consuming countries and production levels and costs of production of other producing companies. The spot market price for U₃O₈ has demonstrated a large range since January 2001. Prices have risen from $7.10 per pound at January 2001 to a high of $136.00 per pound as of September 2007. The spot market price was $27.75 per pound as of October 24, 2018 as reported by TradeTech.

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.

Table of Contents

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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
