## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Ur-Energy Releases 2022 Year End Results**

Littleton, Colorado (ACCESSWIRE – March 6, 2023) Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSE American:URG)(TSX:URE) ("Ur-Energy" or the "Company") has filed the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Consolidated Financial Statements, and Management's Discussion & Analysis, all for the year ended December 31, 2022, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR at <u>www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml</u> and with Canadian securities authorities on SEDAR at <u>www.sedar.com</u>. These filings also may be accessed on the Company's website at <u>www.ur-energy.com</u>. Shareholders of the Company may receive a hard copy of the consolidated financial statements, free of charge, upon request to the Company.

Ur-Energy CEO, John Cash said: "The year 2022 saw uranium pricing volatility and an overall upward trend that we expect to continue in 2023 as the world transitions to carbon free sources of electricity. Uranium demand growth continues to outpace supply with few new mines of significant scale slated to come online in the next few years. Additional pricing pressure is being brought to bear by continued spot purchases by several physical uranium trusts and market instability caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"We have carefully positioned ourselves to benefit from the imbalance in supply and demand by being well financed and entering long-term sales contracts that supported our decision to ramp up production at Lost Creek. The profitable sales contracts we signed in 2022 lock in reliable revenue for the next six years while using only 27% of our licensed mine capacity from Lost Creek and Shirley Basin. As we enter 2023, our primary focus is on safely ramping up production at Lost Creek to levels sufficient to fill contracts.

"Although production costs at Lost Creek historically have been low, we will continue to aggressively search for ways to further reduce costs and our environmental footprint through R&D projects including the well casing and water treatment projects announced in late 2022. The cost of these R&D projects has been minimal, but the results, if positive, could provide significant cost and competitive advantages to Ur-Energy. Our experienced staff give us a distinct advantage in this area that we will continue to capitalize on. We will also be looking for opportunities to grow the Company through the acquisition of in situ uranium projects that can be brought into profitable production in the foreseeable future. We will continue our disciplined approach of only acquiring quality projects that are accretive to our production story.

"2023 will be an exciting year for us as we move back into production and look to lower our cost profile further by implementing new leading, low-cost technologies."

**Financial Results**

As of December 31, 2022, we had cash resources consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $33.0 million. No sales of U<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8</sub> were necessary in 2022. The Company had a net loss of $17.1 million or $0.08 per common share.

**Lost Creek Operations**

Due to persistent low uranium prices, we continued to limit our production operations during 2022, capturing 325 pounds of U<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8</sub> at our Lost Creek plant. The reduced operations have allowed us to sustain operating cost reductions at Lost Creek, while conducting preventative maintenance and optimizing processes in preparation for ramp up to full production rates. We made no sales of U<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8</sub> in 2022.

Our construction and development programs in the second mine unit (MU2) continued throughout 2022. Development of the fourth header house in MU2 (HH 2-4) progressed substantially with all wells installed. Surface construction is ongoing. Additionally, we are installing wells related to the fifth header house (HH 2-5) and have ordered all necessary equipment to construct and equip the header house. Long-lead items for the sixth and seventh header houses in MU2 have been ordered. We completed the planned delineation drill program to assist with wellfield design of HHs 2-5 through 2-9. Together with our optimization of plant processes, these wellfield programs have significantly facilitated our 2023 return to production.

The Wyoming winter of 2022-2023 has been particularly harsh, impeding certain of our planned construction activities at Lost Creek. Notwithstanding, because we implemented an advanced development program in late 2021 to enhance our ability to quickly return to production when our ramp-up decision occurred, we remain on track for return to timely production levels of approximately 600,000 pounds U<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8 </sub>annually.

**Sales Agreements and Ramp-up Decision**

During 2022 Q3, we completed a multi-year sales agreement with a leading U.S. nuclear utility to supply uranium produced from projects owned and operated by the Company's U.S. subsidiaries, including Lost Creek. This initial agreement calls for the annual delivery of a base amount of 200,000 pounds of uranium concentrates over a six-year period beginning in the second half of 2023. Sale prices are anticipated to be profitable on a Company-wide, all-in cost basis and are escalated annually from the initial pricing in 2023. Subsequently, in Q4, we announced the amendment of this agreement to increase the annual delivery, starting in 2024, by 100,000 pounds U<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8 </sub>at the same pricing levels. The sales agreement permits the purchaser the customary election to flex the delivery quantity up or down by as much as ten percent.

We completed an additional sales agreement in 2022 Q4 which calls for annual deliveries of 300,000 pounds U<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8</sub> over a five-year period, beginning in 2024, together with the possibility of additional deliveries of up to 300,000 pounds U<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8</sub> in 2029. Sale prices under this agreement are also anticipated to be profitable on a Company-wide, all-in cost basis and are escalated annually from initial pricing in 2024.

In December 2022, we were awarded a contract to sell to the DOE NNSA uranium reserve 100,000 pounds of domestically produced U<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8</sub> at a sales price of $64.47 per pound<sub>.</sub> That delivery was made in January 2023 and sales proceeds of $6.4 million were received shortly thereafter. Including the DOE NNSA sale, we anticipate selling 280,000 pounds at an average price of $61.89 for revenues of $17.3 million in 2023.

As described, the multi-year sales agreements call for deliveries beginning in 2023 and continuing through 2028, with the possible additional delivery in 2029. Together, the 280,000 pounds to be sold in 2023 and the base amount of 600,000 pounds to be sold annually from 2024 – 2028, will provide total anticipated revenues to the Company of approximately $205 million.

In December 2022, we announced our decision to immediately ramp up production at Lost Creek to levels sufficient to deliver into sales commitments totalling 600,000 pounds U<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8</sub> annually beginning in 2024. During 2022, hiring of staff and engagement of contractors steadily progressed for our development activities and, subsequent to our ramp-up decision, recruitment and hiring for operations staff is ongoing.

**Research and Development**

Throughout 2022, we continued to pursue several research and development ("R&D") projects with an objective to introduce new methods of cost-effective technology. Our R&D projects are at varying stages of development and include a new material for injection wells and related well installation process, for which we recently converted our provisional patent application with the U.S. Patent Office to a non-provisional patent application. Following receipt of WDEQ authorization to proceed with field testing the materials and engineering, Phase One field testing was successfully completed in 2022 Q3-Q4.

The proposed method utilizes lower-cost materials which are generally available, even during current supply chain challenges. Field tests demonstrated a reduction in drill rig time on injection wells of approximately 75% compared with conventional methods, which also reduces environmental impacts. It is anticipated that the cost savings from reduced drill rig time will be partially offset by the need for additional in-house labor. Based on testing to date, it is anticipated that as much as a 49% savings on well installation costs may be realized on injection wells. Phase Two testing will be initiated in 2023 Q2.

We continue to advance work on engineering of an advanced water treatment system. Beyond water recycling gains already achieved with our industry-leading Class V circuit, the new system may allow an additional 90% reduction of disposed water. This project is in advanced-stage analyses and planning.

During 2022 and 2021, we continued to operate Lost Creek at reduced production rates in response to the depressed state of the uranium markets. As a result, production rates at Lost Creek remained low during the past two years and no pounds were drummed in 2022 or 2021.

Positive developments in the uranium markets continued to occur in 2022 and we were able to put in place new, multi-year, sales contracts. As previously announced, the Company made the decision to ramp up operations in 2023 and production rates are expected to increase throughout the year.

**<u>Sales</u>**

We had no U<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8 </sub>sales in 2022 or 2021. As previously announced, we put in place new, multi-year, sales contracts in 2022. We expect to realize revenues of $17.3 million from the sale of 280,000 pounds of uranium in 2023 through sales to the DOE and into the new term agreements. Deliveries in 2023 are expected to be made from existing conversion facility inventory.

**<u>2023 Guidance</u>**

Greater acceptance of nuclear energy's role in clean energy policies, renewed investor interest, increasing concerns over the possibility of supply shortages and disruptions, and a multitude of other factors have all contributed to resurging demand for secure domestically produced uranium. Increasing demand in 2022 was evidenced by increased contracting activity and higher uranium pricing, with average spot and long-term prices increasing 13% and 22%, respectively. Uranium prices exceeded $50 per pound on multiple occasions during the year and again in January and February 2023.

Increasing demand for domestic uranium and higher pricing enabled us to obtain two new off-take sales contracts in 2022 with deliveries beginning in 2023. Armed with these new contracts and the prospects of obtaining additional sales commitments, we made the decision to ramp up production operations in 2023, taking advantage of the advanced preparations and development work already begun in our fully permitted MU2. Work continues today, although unusually harsh winter conditions have hindered our efforts. Nonetheless, new production of uranium is expected to commence in late Q1 or early Q2 of this year. Deliveries in 2023 are anticipated to be made from our existing conversion facility inventory. New production will be delivered to the conversion facility in quantities sufficient to meet 2024 delivery requirement as they occur.

In 2021 Q4, we commenced a drilling and construction program to further heighten our readiness to return to production operations at Lost Creek. The program was supplemented by purchases of mid- and long-lead items for additional development in MU2. Currently, the construction of the next header house (HH2-4) is nearly complete. Ordering of materials for HH2-5 is complete and long-lead items for HH2-6 and HH2-7 have been ordered. Staffing at Lost Creek has been increased to levels sufficient to commence operations when production resumes.

Our current and planned development initiatives include further development work in the first two mine units, followed by the ten additional mining areas as defined in the Lost Creek Initial Assessment. The Lost Creek facility now has the constructed and licensed capacity to process up to 2.2 million pounds of U<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8</sub> per year and sufficient mineral resources to feed the processing plant for many years to come.

Construction of a shop and lab building continues at our operations headquarters in Casper, Wyoming. The building is adjacent to our recently acquired office building. The shop and lab will be used to consolidate our header house construction and lab analysis activities in support of the Lost Creek operation, and to support the development and future operation of the Shirley Basin Project. With all major permits and authorizations for our Shirley Basin Project now in hand, we stand ready to construct the mine when market conditions support the placement of new off-take sales contracts for the project.

Our cash position as of March 1, 2023, was $79.0 million. As noted above, we have sufficient conversion facility inventory on hand to meet 2023 deliveries and anticipate selling 280,000 pounds at an average price of $61.89 for proceeds of $17.3 million this year.

We will continue to closely monitor the uranium market, the impact and possible expansion of the uranium reserve program, and other developments in the markets or from Congress, which may positively affect the uranium production industry and provide the opportunity to put in place additional off-take contracts at pricing sufficient to justify expanded production. As always, we will focus on maintaining safe and compliant operations while continuing to enhance and leverage our production operations.
