| 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 properties 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. Except as set out below, the accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements conform to those used in the Companys annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 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, 2007. |
|
Adption of New Accounting Pronouncements | |
|
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the following Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Sections: | |
| • Section 3862, Financial Instruments Disclosures, and Section 3863, Financial Instruments Presentation. These new disclosure standards increase the Companys disclosure regarding the nature and risk associated with financial instruments and how those risks are managed (see Note 8). The new presentation standard carries forward the former presentation requirements. | |
| • Section 1535, Capital Disclosures. This new standard requires the Company to disclose its objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital structure (see Note 10). | |
| • Section 1400, General Standards on Financial Statement Presentation. This standard requires management to assess at each balance sheet date and, if necessary, disclose any uncertainty surrounding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Companys disclosures in these interim financial statements. | |
| 3. |

On April 6, 2006, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement with Energy Metals Corporation (Energy Metals) to complete a land swap enabling the Company and Energy Metals to consolidate their respective land positions in specific project areas of Wyoming. The Company traded its Shamrock (also known as "Red Rim") and Chalk Hills projects to Energy Metals for their holdings in the Bootheel project area. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company received Energy Metals unpatented mining claims known as the "TD group" in Albany County, Wyoming. Energy Metals received the Companys unpatented F mining claims located in the southern Great Divide Basin in Carbon and Sweetwater Counties, Wyoming along with the unpatented Rita mining claims located in the Shirley Basin in Carbon County, Wyoming. Under the terms of the agreement, Energy Metals and the Company have granted one another a 1/2% royalty on future production of uranium from the properties. The fair value of these properties is not reliably determinable; therefore, the accumulated historical costs of the Shamrock and Chalk Hills projects have been recorded as the accounting basis of the Bootheel property received. Historic property costs related to the Shamrock and Chalk Hills projects was $332,090 and deferred exploration costs with respect to the projects was $91,980.
On June 16, 2006, the Company entered into a data purchase agreement with Power Resources Inc. ("PRI") related to the Bootheel and Buck Point project areas. The Company paid a first installment of $99,209 (US $90,000) related to the acquisition of this data.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will provide PRI with a 1% royalty on future uranium and associated minerals produced from the property.
On June 19, 2006, the Company completed an acquisition of claim groups in the Great Divide Basin of Wyoming, consisting of certain unpatented mining claims in four claim blocks. The Company purchased the properties for an aggregate consideration of 250,000 common shares of the Company valued at $515,000. Additionally, on September 29, 2006, the Company acquired additional unpatented mining claims relating to one of these claim blocks for cash consideration of US $41,000. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company will provide the seller with a 2% royalty on future uranium production from the acquired properties and from a one-mile area of interest surrounding the properties.
During October 2006, the Company acquired certain State of South Dakota Mineral Leases in Harding County, northwest South Dakota for cash consideration of $158,431.
During June 2007, the Company entered into an Exploration, Development and Mine Operating Agreement with Target Exploration & Mining Corporation and its subsidiary ("Target"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NFUR Bootheel, LLC, contributed its Bootheel and Buck Point properties to The Bootheel Project, LLC. The projects cover an area of known uranium occurrences in Albany County, Wyoming in the Shirley Basin. The Bootheel and Buck Point properties contributed by the Company are comprised of certain mining claims and two state leases. The Company will make any data covering its Bootheel and Buckpoint properties, and certain other data, available to the venture with Target. Target will contribute US $3 million in exploration expenditures and issue a total of 125,000 common shares of Target to the Company over a four year period in order to earn a 75% interest in the Bootheel Project, LLC. The initial 50,000 common shares of Target were received during August 2007. Minimum exploration expenditures of US $750,000 are required in each year during the four year earn-in period. Target is the operator of the Bootheel Project.
During June 2007, the Company entered into agreements with Trigon Uranium Corporation and its subsidiary ("Trigon"). Under the terms of the agreements, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NFUR Hauber, LLC, contributed its Hauber property to Hauber Project LLC. The Hauber property is located in Crook County, Wyoming and consists of certain unpatented lode mining claims and one state uranium lease. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, Trigon can earn a 50% ownership interest in Hauber Project LLC by contributing a total of US $1.5 million in exploration expenditures to the project over three years. Minimum exploration expenditures of US $350,000 are required in year one of the earn-in period with US $575,000 required in years two and three. Trigon will act as manager of the project. The agreements further provide that after Trigon has earned the 50% ownership interest, Trigon has the option to acquire an additional 1% ownership interest by making an additional payment of US $1.0 million for project exploration and expenditures.
