      <b>Item 1.01.&#160;&#160;Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement</b>
    </p>
    <p style="text-align: justify">
      On December 31, 2012, the Registrant entered into a second amendment to
      its Exploration Agreement with Cameco Texas, Inc. (&#8221;CTI&#8221;), an indirect
      wholly-owned subsidiary of Cameco Corporation (NYSE: CCJ). URI and CTI
      are parties to that certain Exploration Agreement effective as of May
      10, 2011, as amended by that First Amendment to Exploration Agreement
      dated September 28, 2012 concerning the exploration, evaluation and
      development of certain properties in Kenedy County, Texas.&#160;&#160;Those
      exploration, evaluation and development activities are being conducted
      pursuant to the terms and conditions of that Uranium Mining Lease Option
      dated December 1, 2010 between The John G. and Maria Stella Kenedy
      Foundation and URI as amended.&#160;&#160;Pursuant to the Option Agreement, URI,
      by either drilling a required number of exploration wells or incurring
      certain required minimum amounts of exploration and development
      expenditures, has the option to enter into one or more long term uranium
      mining leases covering all or portions of the properties subject to the
      agreement.
    </p>
    <p style="text-align: justify">
      URI and the Foundation have agreed to an amendment of the Option
      Agreement to allow for the conduct of exploration, evaluation and
      development activities on an additional 22,700 net acres owned by the
      Foundation and to extend the time period within which certain required
      minimum amounts of exploration and development expenditures must be
      incurred in order to retain the Option.&#160;&#160;Under the terms of the amended
      exploration agreement, both parties have agreed to extend the
      exploration agreement to a five-phase, five-year exploration program to
      include Tecolote.&#160;&#160;Cameco has committed $4.3 million to increase its
      interest to 70% in the expanded program.&#160;&#160;Cameco will fund and be the
      exploration operator for Phase III.&#160;&#160;
    </p>
    <p style="text-align: justify">
      In addition to adding the 22,700 acres of Tecolote, the lease option
      amendment extended the original lease to 60 months with the election
      date to lease the acreage for production now being November 30,
      2015.&#160;&#160;It requires a minimum exploration obligation of $1.0 million, or
      100 exploration wells during Phase III.&#160;&#160;Phase IV and Phase V require
      $1.5 million, or 150 exploration wells, and $2.0 million, or 200
      exploration wells, respectively.&#160;&#160;Investment or drilling in excess of
      the minimum requirement in any year counts toward the following year&#8217;s
      requirements.&#160;&#160;
    </p>
    <p style="text-align: justify">
      <b>Item 8.01. Other Events</b>
    </p>
    <p style="text-align: justify">
      On January 7, 2013, the Registrant issued a press release to announce
      the expansion and extension of its South Texas exploration agreement
      with Cameco Texas, Inc. (Cameco), a subsidiary of Power Resources, Inc.,
      which is a subsidiary of Cameco Corporation (NYSE: CCJ).&#160;&#160;Additionally,
      the Company signed an amendment to its uranium mining lease option in
      Kenedy County, Texas for the Tecolote tract, approximately 22,700 net
      acres that will be a part of the exploration program.

      LEWISVILLE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 7, 2013--Uranium Resources,
      Inc. (NASDAQ: URRE) (URI) today announced the expansion and extension of
      its South Texas exploration agreement with Cameco Texas, Inc. (Cameco),
      a subsidiary of Power Resources, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Cameco
      Corporation (NYSE: CCJ). Additionally, the Company signed an amendment
      to its uranium mining lease option in Kenedy County, Texas for the
      Tecolote tract, approximately 22,700 net acres that will be a part of
      the exploration program.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;The amendment of our exploration joint venture into Tecolote is
      significant for many reasons,&#8221; stated Terence J. Cryan, Interim
      President and CEO of URI. &#8220;Cameco&#8217;s commitment to a 70% interest in the
      program with the addition of the new property underlies our belief of
      its stronger potential and our commitment to developing uranium in South
      Texas. We remain encouraged by the opportunities in the area and believe
      Tecolote will provide us a platform to grow our assets in South Texas
      and capitalize on our two processing plants in the region.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Under the terms of the amended exploration agreement, both parties have
      agreed to extend the exploration agreement to a five-phase, five-year
      exploration program to include Tecolote. Cameco has committed $4.3
      million to increase its interest to 70% in the expanded program. Cameco
      will fund and be the exploration operator for Phase III.
    </p>
    <p>
      In addition to adding the 22,700 acres of Tecolote, the lease option
      amendment extended the original lease to 60 months with the election
      date to lease the acreage for production now being November 30, 2015. It
      requires a minimum exploration obligation of $1.0 million, or 100
      exploration wells during Phase III. Phase IV and Phase V require $1.5
      million, or 150 exploration wells, and $2.0 million, or 200 exploration
      wells, respectively. Investment or drilling in excess of the minimum
      requirement in any year counts toward the following year&#8217;s requirements.
    </p>
    <p>
      Tecolote 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.

      <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. URI has
      over 206,600 acres of uranium mineral holdings and 152.9 million pounds
      of in-place mineralized uranium material in New Mexico and an NRC
      license to produce up to 1 million pounds of uranium per year. URI has
      an additional 1.3 million pounds of in-place mineralized uranium
      material in Texas and South Dakota. The Company acquired these
      properties over the past 20 years along with an extensive information
      database of historic drill hole logs, assay certificates, maps and
      technical reports.
    </p>
    <p>
      URI&#8217;s strategy is to fully develop its resource base in New Mexico and
      Texas, expand its asset base both within and outside of New Mexico and
      Texas, and partner with larger mining companies that have undeveloped
      uranium assets 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.
