Uranium Resources, Inc. Sells Part of Its Extensive Geologic Database for $250,000 in Cash

Don Ewigleben, President and CEO of URI, commented, "The sale of a small portion of our extensive geologic database is part of our strategy to dispose of non-core assets. The data involved had no value to URI because we have no position in the property and the value would diminish as additional drilling is completed in the area. We will continue to evaluate the potential monetization of other non-core assets as part of the strategic plan recently adopted by our Board of Directors."

He added, "We continue to pursue opportunities in Texas where we believe there is significant potential for finding extensive new bases of uranium material based on geologic trends and historic oil company interests and research."

In addition to its database of drill logs and maps in South Texas, where URI has operated for over 30 years, the Company owns a large database of over 18,800 drill logs in New Mexico, where the Company holds over 101 million pounds of in-place mineralized uranium material.

About Uranium Resources, Inc.

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 where the Company currently has ISR mining projects. URI also has 183,000 acres of uranium mineral holdings and 101.4 million pounds of in-place mineralized uranium material in New Mexico, as well as a NRC license to produce up to 1 million pounds of uranium. The Company acquired these properties over the past 20 years along with an extensive information database of historic mining logs and analysis. None of URI's properties is currently in production.

URI's strategy is to fully exploit its resource base in New Mexico and Texas, expand its asset base both within and outside of New Mexico and Texas, partner with larger mining companies that have undeveloped uranium 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.

Uranium Resources routinely posts news and other information about the Company on its Web site at www.uraniumresources.com.
