| Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements |
| September 30, 2007 |
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
| 1. | Nature of operations |
Ur-Energy Inc. ( the "Company") is a development stage junior mining company engaged in the identification, acquisition, evaluation, exploration and development of uranium mineral properties in Canada and the United States. The Company has not determined whether the properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts recorded for mineral exploration properties and deferred exploration expenditures is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these reserves and upon attaining future profitable production from the properties or sufficient proceeds from disposition of the properties.
| 2. | Significant accounting policies |
Basis of presentation
Ur-Energy Inc. was incorporated on March 22, 2004 under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The Company continued under the Canada Business Corporation Act on August 7, 2006. These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and include all of the assets, liabilities and expenses of the Company and its wholly - owned subsidiaries Ur-Energy USA Inc., NFU Wyoming, LLC, Lost Creek ISR, LLC, The Bootheel Project, LLC, NFUR Bootheel, LLC, Hauber Project LLC, NFUR Hauber, LLC, ISL Resources Corporation, ISL Wyoming, Inc. and CBM-Energy Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Ur-Energy Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the Company.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements conform to those used in the Companys annual financial statements and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the periods presented.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include investments which have a term to maturity at the time of purchase of ninety days or less and which are readily convertible into cash.
Short-term investments
Short-term investments include investments which have a term to maturity at the time of purchase in excess of ninety days. These investments are readily convertible into cash. Short-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity. Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate method and is included in income for the period. As at September 30, 2007, short-term investments have maturity dates raning from January 2, 2008 to February 1, 2008 and have effective annual interest rates ranging from 4.51% to 4.52% .

Capital assets
Capital assets are initially recorded at cost and are then amortized using the declining balance method at the following annual rates: computers at 30%, software at 50%, office furniture at 20%, field vehicles at 30% and field equipment at 30%.
Mineral exploration property and deferred exploration expenditures
Acquisition costs of mineral exploration properties together with direct exploration and development expenditures are capitalized. The interest cost of debt directly attributable to the financing of mineral property acquisitions is capitalized during the exploration and development period. When production is attained, these costs will be amortized. If properties are abandoned or considered to be impaired in value, the costs of the properties and related deferred expenditures will be written down to their estimated fair value at that time. Expenditures of a general reconnaissance nature are expensed to general exploration in the statement of operations and deficit.
Asset retirement obligations
An asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that the Company is required to settle. The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is increased by the same amount of the liability.
Stock-based compensation
All stock-based payments made to employees and non-employees are accounted for in the financial statements. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the reward and compensation expense is recognized over the related service period. Compensation cost recorded related to contractor shares and stock options is charged to expense or is capitalized to deferred exploration expenditures when related to direct exploration activities.
Flow-through shares
The Company has financed a portion of its Canadian exploration and development activities through the issuance of flow-through shares. Under the terms of the flow - through share agreements, the tax benefits of the related expenditures are renounced to subscribers. To recognize the foregone tax benefits to the Company, the carrying value of the shares issued is reduced by the tax effect of the tax benefits renounced to subscribers. Recognition of the foregone tax benefit is recorded at the time of the renouncement provided there is reasonable assurance that the expenditures will be incurred.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect when the assets were acquired or obligations incurred. Expenses are translated at exchange rates in effect at the date the transaction is entered into. Translation gains or losses are included in the determination of income or loss in the statement of operations in the period in which they arise.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method that requires the recognition of future income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company provides a valuation allowance on net future tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

Loss per common share
Basic loss per common share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted loss per common share, which is calculated using the treasury stock method, is equal to the basic loss per common share due to the anti-dilutive effect of stock options and share purchase warrants outstanding.
Financial instruments
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 1530 Comprehensive Income, CICA Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement, CICA Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instruments Disclosure and Presentation, and CICA Handbook Section 3865, Hedges. These new Handbook Sections provide comprehensive requirements for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments, hedge accounting and reporting and displaying comprehensive income. The initial adoption of these standards did not have a significant impact on these financial statements.
These sections describe the standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. All financial assets, including derivatives, must be measured at their fair value, except for those classified as held-to-maturity, and loans and receivables. All financial liabilities must be measured at their fair value if they are classified as held for trading purposes or are derivatives, and if not they are measured at their amortized value.
| 3. | Bonding and other deposits |
Bonding and other deposits include $771,174 (December 31, 2006 $107,532) of reclamation bonds deposited with United States financial institutions as collateral to cover potential costs of reclamation related to properties. Once the reclamation is complete, the bonding deposits will be returned to the Company. As at September 30, 2007, bonding and other deposits also include $173,270 (US $174,504) on deposit with trade vendors.

| 7. | New Frontiers obligation / Acquisition of NFU Wyoming LLC |
On June 30, 2005, under the terms of the New Frontiers Agreements, the Company acquired a 100% interest in NFU Wyoming, LLC, a newly formed Wyoming limited liability corporation, holding certain Wyoming properties for total consideration of US $20,000,000. The balance of the purchase price of US$15,000,000 was payable by way of a promissory note. The Company had pledged its entire interest in NFU Wyoming, LLC as collateral for amounts due under the promissory note. The purchase price of $24,515,832 was allocated entirely to mineral exploration property assets in Wyoming. Interest on the New Frontiers obligation was recorded utilizing the effective rate method. Under the effective rate method, interest charges are recorded over the term of the obligation that are sufficient to accrete the face value of the original principal to the balance due, including interest, at maturity. The effective interest rate was 12.04% . Interest accrued on the New Frontiers obligation was capitalized to Wyoming mineral property assets.
On June 6, 2007, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the New Frontiers obligation in full providing cash of $11,955,375 (US $11,250,000). On June 28, 2006 the Company provided the first anniversary installment of US $5,000,000. The Company's election for early repayment of the balance due resulted in reduced interest charges such that previously accrued interest of $2,016,156 (US $1,744,229) was not payable. This amount was recorded as a reduction of the related Wyoming mineral property assets during the second quarter of 2007.

As at September 30, 2007, the Company held approximately US $20.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has not entered into any foreign exchange contracts or other strategies to mitigate this risk.
The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term maturity or capacity of prompt liquidation.
