05.04.2016  |  GlobeNewswire

CENTENNIAL, Colo., April 05, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uranium Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq:URRE) (ASX:URI), a leading exploration, development, and uranium production company, announced today that it has completed a registered direct offering with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire”) whereby Aspire purchased 375,000 common shares at a price of $2.17 and 200,000 pre-funded common stock purchase warrants at a price of $2.16, which was paid at closing. Gross proceeds from the offering were $1.25 million, including $0.43 million from the sale of the pre-funded warrants. The common shares and pre-funded warrants will be issued pursuant to a take-down off the Company’s existing S-3 Shelf Registration Statement. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share and a term of three years.

Christopher M. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer of URI said,

Despite continued difficult market conditions in commodity and capital markets, we have been able to raise additional equity capital to secure URI’s future. We remain committed as a management team to strengthening URI’s financial position so that the Company can deliver on its business objectives in 2016, and advance the Temrezli project toward a development decision and subsequent construction in the first half of 2017.

We transformed this Company through our actions in 2015, substantially lowering our production cost profile and moving this Company away from the commodity price waiting game. URI’s highest priority is to advance the high-grade Temrezli in-situ recovery project into commercial production as quickly and efficiently as possible.”

The offering resulted in net proceeds to URRE of approximately $1.24 million. URRE intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include technical studies, restoration commitments, capital expenditures and working capital.

The securities are being offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement (File No. 333-196880), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 30, 2014. A prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus relating to the offering will be filed with the SEC. Copies of the prospectus and prospectus supplement relating to the offering may be obtained at the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov.

This news release does not and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
