UR-ENERGY ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF NEW BOARD MEMBERS: JOHN PAUL PRESSEY AND ELMER W. DYKE

Ur-Energy Inc. has appointed John Paul Pressey and Elmer W. Dyke as new members of the Ur-Energy board of directors.

Ur-Energy also announces the anticipated retirement of founding director James M. Franklin and director, and former president and chief executive officer, W. William Boberg. Both will continue to serve the board until the company's annual meeting of shareholders, June 6, 2024, though neither will stand for re-election at the meeting. The company is pleased that our new board members will be able to benefit from this transition period prior to Dr. Franklin and Mr. Boberg's retirement from the company.

Ur-Energy chairman and CEO, John Cash, stated: "We are excited to welcome John (J.P.) Paul Pressey and Elmer Dyke as directors on Ur-Energy's board. Mr. Pressey has nearly 30 years of valuable audit and assurance experience from his career with PricewaterhouseCoopers, including 16 years as a partner. We are pleased that Mr. Pressey brings to our board his wide-ranging experience having worked with numerous publicly traded companies, including international mining companies, while at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Mr. Dyke is widely known as a leader in the global nuclear community and brings 35 years experience working in senior positions on issues such as the nuclear fuel cycle, nuclear non-proliferation and marketing of nuclear fuel. Welcome aboard J.P. and Elmer. We look forward to working with you to advance Ur-Energy's interests as the world is increasingly turning to nuclear power.

"Personally, and on behalf of the company, I wish to thank Dr. Jim Franklin and Mr. Bill Boberg for their many years of unwavering service to Ur-Energy. While their contributions are too many to list, it is worth noting that Jim Franklin was a founding director of Ur-Energy when he and original management of the company recognized in the early 2000s the impending uranium supply gap. Jim's assessments were accurate, and the timely formation of Ur-Energy positioned us to grow the company to our current ability to capitalize on a strong market for nuclear fuel. Bill Boberg contributed throughout the years serving as a director and an executive of the company, but he is perhaps best known for the acquisition of the Great Divide basin assets in Wyoming, including the property which became our flagship producing mine, Lost Creek. Jim and Bill, thank you so much for your guidance over the years. Without your leadership, Ur-Energy simply would not be the strong company it has become."

Mr. Pressey had a nearly three-decade-long career in the assurance practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, with 16 years as a partner. With a bachelor of commerce degree from the University of Alberta, Mr. Pressey is a chartered professional accountant with extensive experience working with U.S. and Canadian publicly traded companies in the mining industry, and other industries including manufacturing, utilities and alternative energy. His experience includes acquisitions and capital markets transactions, working with clients to identify and implement practical business solutions to accounting, audit and financial issues. Well respected for his ethics and integrity, Mr. Pressey spent six years at PricewaterhouseCoopers as its assurance leader for British Columbia, overseeing all aspects of PricewaterhouseCoopers's assurance results and operations for that province. Mr. Pressey has significant experience presenting to and working with boards of client companies and has facilitated sessions at the Institute for Corporate Directors.

Mr. Dyke is a recognized global leader in the commercial and government nuclear industry with over 35 years experience. Mr. Dyke has a bachelor of arts degree in international political economy from Davidson College and served as a U.S. Army officer for 13 years. Mr. Dyke's professional career includes a tenure with the U.S. Department of State during which he directed international security programs, including nuclear non-proliferation and high-technology projects and was detailed to the departments of Defense and Commerce. Mr. Dyke has worked within global firms NAC International and Booz Allen Hamilton where he served as an expert on nuclear non-proliferation, strategy and nuclear fuel cycle. More recently, Mr. Dyke filled senior executive roles at Centrus Energy Corp., a global nuclear fuel supplier and technical services provider. At Centrus Energy and in prior executive roles, Mr. Dyke led strategic planning and business development, financial performance and risk management for the businesses. Currently, Mr. Dyke leads New Horizons Nuclear Associates, LLC, a global nuclear consulting firm he formed in 2022. Mr. Dyke is intimately involved with the entire nuclear fuel cycle and has served terms on the boards of directors of the World Nuclear Association and the U.S. Nuclear Industry Council.
