         Uranium Resources plc ('Uranium Resources') or ('the Company') 
                                Drilling Update 
 
Uranium Resources plc, the AIM listed uranium exploration and development 
company, is pleased to announce that it has completed phase 1 of its drilling 
programme at the Mtonya Prospect in Tanzania and commenced phase 2 of the 
programme. 
 
The primary objective of phase 1 was to test the Company's geological model and 
identify favourable geological settings.  The initial results of phase 1 have 
confirmed management's geological interpretation on a district and prospect 
scale.  Of particular significance have been observations of the right 
prospective lithologies and the intersection of strata, which have been 
subjected to extensive redox processes.  Management believe these have potential 
to host large-scale uranium mineralisation. 
 
Phase 1 comprised three diamond core drill holes for a total of 1,512m.  The 
Company is yet to receive all assays for phase 1 drill holes.  Due to the 
success of phase 1, the Company has commenced phase 2 which will comprise a 
further 2,200m of diamond core drilling.  Phase 2 will further define the 
geology and is expected to generate drill targets for subsequent exploration 
programmes.  The Company has engaged an additional rig to undertake the work and 
strengthened the field team by the addition of two experienced uranium 
geologists.  The Company expects to complete phase 2 drilling, subject to 
weather conditions, by year end and will provide further updates in due course. 
 
Alex Gostevskikh, Managing Director of Uranium Resources, said, "We are 
particularly pleased with the outcome of phase 1 and we are glad to see it 
generating initial positive results.  Observing the predicted lithologies and 
the scale of ore forming processes is very encouraging.  The Company has put a 
lot of effort into designing this drill programme and we are continuing to 
process the large quantities of data being generated.  We are still awaiting the 
majority of assay results from the programme.  However, the processing of this 
data will advance our understanding of the mineralisation controls and help us 
generate valid drill targets for future drilling programmes.  Phase 2 is 
designed to further develop our geological model and generate targets for 
interpretation and follow-up." 
 
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral 
Resources or Ore Reserves is based on information assessed by Alex Gostevskikh 
who is a Member of the Mining and Metallurgical Society of America.  Mr 
Gostevskikh has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of 
mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which 
he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 
Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral 
Resources and Ore Reserves'.  Mr Gostevskikh consents to the inclusion in the 
report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which 
it appears.
