November 3, 2015
Littleton, Colorado (PR Newswire
– October 30, 2015) Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSE MKT:URG, TSX:URE) (the “Company” or “Ur-Energy”)
has filed the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml and with Canadian securities authorities on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Lost Creek Uranium Production and Sales
During the three months ended September
30, 2015, 172,282 pounds of U3O8 were captured within the Lost Creek plant, 176,850 pounds were packaged
in drums and 184,380 pounds of drummed inventory were shipped to the conversion facility, where 150,000 pounds were sold to customers
at an average price of $56.39. Sales revenues for the quarter of $8.5 million included one term-contract sale of 100,000 pounds
at $66.71 and one 50,000 pound spot sale at $35.75.
This brings our U3O8
production totals for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 571,830 pounds captured, 537,765 pounds drummed and 535,557 pounds
shipped. Through September 30, 2015, we sold a total of 700,000 pounds of U3O8 for $34.1 million, which includes
500,000 pounds from Lost Creek produced U3O8 and 200,000 pounds from externally purchased U3O8.
Our average cash cost per pound sold for the quarter was $15.19, which represents a decrease of $0.96, or 5.9%, from the previous
quarter. Our year-to-date average cost per pound sold is now $16.66 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. These cash cost
per pound figures exclude ad valorem and severance taxes, which were $2.59 and $3.29 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2015, respectively.
Jeff Klenda, Executive Director of Ur-Energy,
said, “Lost Creek has proven to be a truly exceptional property and, by improving our efficiencies, our operational team
continues to deliver outstanding industry leading performance.”
Eleven of the 13 originally-planned header
houses in Mine Unit 1 (MU1) are now in operation and surface construction of the remaining two houses is in progress. We anticipate
bringing HH 12 online early in November. All the originally planned wells have been installed and await only surface hookup following
completion of the remaining two header houses. Development of the already-permitted Mine Unit 2 (MU2) is also underway.
The exploration team has completed the
150-hole drill program, which was conducted to characterize three previously identified mineralized sand horizons. The program
was conducted in two phases. The first phase, consisting of 91 holes, was completed immediately south and adjacent to the production
area during the first quarter. Results from that phase of the program were previously announced and incorporated into the June
17, 2015 Technical Report on the Lost Creek Property. The remaining 59 holes were drilled as a part of the second phase and results
from that phase, as well as results from the development drilling in MU2, will be incorporated into a updated preliminary economic
assessment for the property.
Inventory, production and sales figures
for the Lost Creek Project are presented in the following tables.

Notes:
| 1 | Wellfield costs include all wellfield operating costs plus amortization of the related mineral
property acquisition costs and depreciation of the related asset retirement obligation 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. |
| 2 | Non-cash costs include depreciation of plant equipment, capitalized ARO costs and amortization
of the investment in the mineral property acquisition costs. The expenses are calculated on a straight line basis so the expense
is constant for each quarter. The cost per pound from these costs will therefore vary based on production levels only. |
| 3 | Plant costs include all plant operating costs, site overhead costs and depreciation of the related
plant construction and asset retirement obligation costs. |
| 4 | Distribution costs include all shipping costs and costs charged by the conversion facility for
weighing, sampling, assaying and storing the U3O8 prior to sale. |

| 1 | 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.
Continuing Guidance for 2015
Our production plan for 4Q2015 is to maintain
an average production rate of approximately 60,000 to 70,000 pounds per month, and to produce between 750,000 and 850,000 pounds
of U3O8 for the year. Current projections indicate meeting this target at the low end of the range. Any excess
production that is not sold into existing contracts will be used to build inventory, which may be utilized to complete discretionary
spot sales transactions on an as-needed basis if market conditions warrant.
We ended the quarter with 125,237
pounds of dried and drummed U3O8 in ending inventory. Of those, 102,782 pounds were held at the conversion
facility at a total cost per pound of $29.43, which consisted of ad valorem and severance taxes ($2.99), cash costs ($16.50) and
non-cash costs ($9.94). This represents an increase of $2.06 per pound, or 7.5%, from the previous quarter. The increase was primarily
the result of capturing and drumming fewer pounds during the quarter as compared to the previous quarter, combined with higher
ad valorem and severance taxes as more fully described in our 2015 Third Quarter Form 10-Q.
Production rates in the fourth
quarter are improving. Through October 28, we have captured 63,440 pounds and drummed 64,192 pounds of U3O8.
The average flow rate through October 28 was 2,393 gallons per minute and the U3O8 head grade was 83.7 milligrams
per liter.
As at October 29, 2015, our unrestricted
cash position was $3.0 million.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Information
This release may contain “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws regarding events or conditions that may occur in the future
(e.g., results of production and ability to maintain production in steady state at Lost Creek; ability to meet production
targets, continue to lower cost per pound, and to timely deliver into existing contractual obligations; the results of 2015 drilling
at Lost Creek; ability to deliver into spot sales if the market conditions warrant) and are based on current expectations that,
while considered reasonable by management at this time, inherently involve a number of significant business, economic and competitive
risks, uncertainties and contingencies. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, capital and other costs varying significantly from estimates; failure to establish estimated resources
and reserves; the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates; production rates, methods and amounts varying
from estimates; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals; inflation;
changes in exchange rates; fluctuations in commodity prices; delays in development and other factors described in the public filings
made by the Company at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements contained herein are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management as of the date hereof
and Ur-Energy disclaims any intent or obligation to update them or revise them to reflect any change in circumstances or in management’s
beliefs, expectations or opinions that occur in the future.
