      <b>Item 8.01.&#160;&#160;Other Events</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      On January 3, 2011, the Registrant issued a press release announcing
      that on December 30, 2010, its wholly-owned subsidiary, URI, Inc.
      entered into a three year lease option agreement with a large Texas
      landowner for the exploration of 53,500 acres in Kenedy County,
      Texas.&#160;&#160;The agreement includes an option for the Registrant to lease the
      acreage for uranium production.
    </p>
    <p>
      The property is located within the prolific South Texas uranium district
      which has been a major producer of uranium for half a century.&#160;&#160;Situated
      near uranium mining operations which produce from the Goliad Formation,
      the property also hosts several oil and gas fields and is bisected by a
      major depositional channel system.&#160;&#160;These provide the geologic,
      stratigraphic, and geochemical components for uranium deposition and
      water-saturated host sand with good rock permeability.&#160;&#160;Locally, water
      samples taken from a number of wells on the property contain levels of
      uranium or uranium decay products that indicate anomalously high
      concentrations of uranium in nearby rock.
    </p>
    <p>
      The lease option agreement included a $1 million consideration fee paid
      at signing.&#160;&#160;It requires a minimum exploration obligation of one hundred
      exploration wells or $1.0 million investment in the first year, an
      additional two hundred exploration wells or $1.5 million investment in
      the second year and, in the third year, an additional two hundred
      exploration wells or $2.0 million investment.&#160;&#160;Investment or drilling in
      excess of the minimum requirement in any year counts toward the
      following year&#8217;s requirements.&#160;&#160;The uranium mining lease can be acquired
      at any time at a cost of $200 per acre.&#160;&#160;Royalties on uranium sales are
      determined by a sliding scale ranging from 10% to 20.5% based on the
      price received.&#160;&#160;In a separate letter agreement, the parties established
      guidelines for securing a major partner for the exploration projects,
      which is a condition for conducting exploration operations and for
      exercise of the lease option..
    </p>
    <p>
      URI announced on November 4, 2010, that it signed a non-binding letter
      of intent with Cameco Resources, a subsidiary of Cameco (NYSE: CCJ), for
      a three-phase exploration program that will be funded by Cameco
      Resources with an option for a production joint venture.&#160;&#160;&#160;Upon
      execution of the final exploration agreement, Cameco Resources would pay
      URI $300,000.&#160;&#160;

      LEWISVILLE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 3, 2011--Uranium Resources,
      Inc. (NASDAQ:&#160;URRE) (&#8220;URI&#8221;) today announced that it has completed an
      agreement to explore 53,500 acres in Kenedy County, Texas, for three
      years, with an option to lease the acreage for uranium production. The
      lease would have a primary term of eight years after lease commencement.
    </p>
    <p>
      Don Ewigleben, President and CEO of URI, commented, &#8220;This acquisition
      marks an important next step in our strategy to build our resource base
      in Texas, and ultimately maximize production in South Texas. While this
      is a green field exploration site, the property appears to be an
      excellent prospect with potential for one or more uranium deposits that
      can be produced by in-situ technology based on previous water sampling
      tests we completed from existing wells on the site.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      The property is located within the prolific South Texas uranium district
      which has been a major producer of uranium for half a century. Situated
      near uranium mining operations which produce from the Goliad Formation,
      the property also hosts several oil and gas fields and is bisected by a
      major depositional channel system. These provide the geologic,
      stratigraphic, and geochemical components for uranium deposition and
      water-saturated host sand with good rock permeability. Locally, water
      samples taken from a number of wells on the property contain levels of
      uranium or uranium decay products that indicate anomalously high
      concentrations of uranium in nearby rock.
    </p>
    <p>
      The lease option agreement requires a minimum exploration obligation of
      one hundred exploration wells or $1.0 million investment in the first
      year, an additional two hundred exploration wells or $1.5 million
      investment in the second year and, in the third year, an additional two
      hundred exploration wells or $2.0 million investment. Investment or
      drilling in excess of the minimum requirement in any year counts toward
      the following year&#8217;s requirements.
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. Ewigleben continued, &#8220;Now that we have secured this lease, our
      attention is on completing a final exploration agreement with Cameco
      Resources so that we can begin the evaluation of the property for the
      presence of an economically recoverable uranium ore body.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      URI announced on November 4, 2010, that it signed a non-binding letter
      of intent with Cameco Resources, a subsidiary of Cameco (NYSE: CCJ), for
      a three-phase exploration program that will be funded by Cameco
      Resources with an option for a production joint venture.

      <b>About Uranium Resources, Inc.</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      Uranium Resources Inc. explores for, develops and mines uranium. Since
      its incorporation in 1977, URI has produced over 8 million pounds of
      uranium by in-situ recovery (ISR) methods in the state of Texas where
      the Company currently has ISR mining projects. URI also has 183,000
      acres of uranium mineral holdings and 101.4 million pounds of in-place
      mineralized uranium material in New Mexico and a NRC license to produce
      up to 1 million pounds of uranium per year. The Company acquired these
      properties over the past 20 years along with an extensive information
      database of historic mining logs and analysis. None of URI&#8217;s properties
      is currently in production.
    </p>
    <p>
      URI&#8217;s strategy is to fully exploit its resource base in New Mexico and
      Texas, expand its asset base both within and outside of New Mexico and
      Texas, partner with larger mining companies that have undeveloped
      uranium or with junior mining companies that do not have the mining
      experience of URI, as well as provide restoration expertise to those
      that require the capability or lack the proficiency.

      mineralized uranium materials, timing of receipt of mining permits,
      production capacity of mining operations planned for properties in South
      Texas and New Mexico, planned dates for commencement of production at
      such properties, revenue, cash generation and profits are
      forward-looking statements. Because they are forward-looking, they

      weather conditions, operating conditions at the Company&#8217;s mining
      projects, government regulation of the mining industry and the nuclear
      power industry, world-wide uranium supply and demand, availability of
      capital, timely receipt of mining and other permits from regulatory
      agents and other factors which are more fully described in the Company&#8217;s
      documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one
      or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of
