Item 8.01. Other Events.

On January 16, 2018, Ur-Energy Inc. (“Ur-Energy”), together with Energy Fuels Inc. (“Energy Fuels”), jointly submitted a Petition to the U.S. Department of Commerce (“DOC”) for Relief Under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (as amended) from Imports of Uranium Products that Threaten National Security (the “Petition”). On July 18, 2018, DOC initiated its investigation into the effects of those imports on national security and, on April 14, 2019, submitted its report to the President with its findings and recommendations. Following receipt of the Secretary’s report, the President then had 90 days to act on the Secretary’s recommendations and if necessary take action to “adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives” and/or pursue other lawful non-trade related actions necessary to address the threat.

On July 12, 2019, the White House issued a “Memorandum on the Effect of Uranium Imports on the National Security and Establishment of the United States Nuclear Fuel Working Group” (the “President’s Memorandum”).

The President’s Memorandum states that the Secretary of Commerce found that “…uranium is being imported in such quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States....” The President found that “…the United States uranium industry faces significant challenges in producing uranium domestically and that this is an issue of national security [and that] a fuller analysis of national security considerations with respect to the entire nuclear fuel supply chain is necessary at this time.”

Through the President’s Memorandum, he has established the United States Nuclear Fuel Working Group (the “Working Group”) to develop recommendations for reviving and expanding domestic uranium production. The Working Group must report its recommendations back to the President within 90 days.

There can be no certainty of the outcome of the Working Group’s findings and recommendations, if any, or the impact of actions taken in response to those findings and recommendation or the President’s Memorandum, and therefore the outcome of this continuing process is uncertain.
