The Company continues to anticipate receiving all required regulatory approvals for the closing of the previously announced Pathfinder Mines Corporation acquisition in the near future.

Ur-Energy President and CEO Wayne Heili commented, "We are very pleased to announce the closing of this Loan Facility, which provides a great deal of flexibility to the Company as we complete the construction of the Lost Creek Project and await final approvals of the Bond Loan and Pathfinder acquisition."
