Auditors’ report
To the Shareholders of Ur-Energy Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Ur-Energy Inc. as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Bonding deposits

Bonding deposits are provided to support reclamation bonds on United States properties. Deposit amounts are invested in certificates of deposit held at United States financial institutions. Bonding deposits are classified as held-to-maturity. Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate method and is included in income for the period.

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 properties 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 sold, they are written off. If properties are considered to be impaired in value, the costs of the properties and related deferred expenditures are 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. Accretion charges to the asset retirement obligation are capitalized to the related exploration or development project.

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 which 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 unless it is more likely than not that such assets will 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.

Future accounting pronouncements

The CICA has issued new accounting pronouncements for disclosure and presentation of financial instruments, Section 3862 “Financial Instruments – Disclosure" and Section 3863 "Financial Instruments – Presentation", which are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007. These new standards require disclosures of both qualitative and quantitative information that enables financial statement users to evaluate the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the Company is exposed.

Section 1535 "Capital Disclosures" has been issued by the CICA and applies to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007. This section requires disclosure of both qualitative and quantitative information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.

Section 1400, “General Standards on Financial Statement Presentation,” has been amended to include requirements to assess and disclose an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The changes are effective for interim and annual financial statements beginning on or after January 1, 2008.

The CICA has also issued Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” which will replace Section 3062, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”. The new standard establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The new standard also provides guidance for the treatment of preproduction and start-up costs and requires that these costs be expensed as incurred. The new standard applies to annual and interim financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008.

Management is currently evaluating the impact these new standards will have on the Company’s financial statements.

The option agreement called for annual expenditures of $2 million in each of the first three years with a further $3 million in year four. Vesting of a 25% working interest was to be at the Company’s election after the expenditure of $4 million in the second year of the agreement. Upon the expenditure of an additional $2 million in year three, the Company was to be eligible to vest a further 10% working interest. The remaining 16% working interest was to vest with the expenditure of $3 million in year four.

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.

(a) Exploration costs

US GAAP requires mineral property exploration costs to be expensed as incurred until commercially recoverable deposits are determined to exist within a particular property. When proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study prepared, then subsequent exploration and development costs of the property would be capitalized. For US GAAP purposes, exploration costs have been expensed as incurred for all periods presented. Adjustment to amounts recorded for deferred taxes arise as a result of expensing exploration costs for US GAAP purposes.

24

(b) Settlement of New Frontiers obligation

Under US GAAP, early extinguishment of the New Frontiers debt obligation would have resulted in a gain recorded in income related to the accrued interest not payable upon settlement.

(c) Flow-through shares

Under Canadian income tax legislation, a company is permitted to issue shares whereby the company agrees to incur qualifying expenditures and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors. Under Canadian GAAP, the Company has recorded the full amount of the proceeds received on issuance as capital stock. Upon renouncing the income tax deductions, capital stock is reduced by the amount of the future income tax liability recognized.

For US GAAP, the proceeds on issuance of the flow-through shares are allocated between the offering of the shares and the sale of the tax benefit when the shares are issued. The premium paid by the investor in excess of the fair value of non flow-through shares is recognized as a liability at the time the shares are issued and the fair value of non flow-through shares is recorded as capital stock. Upon renouncing the income tax deductions, the premium liability is re-characterized as deferred income taxes and the difference between the full deferred income tax liability related to the renounced tax deductions and the premium previously recognized is recorded as an income tax expense.

Also, notwithstanding whether there is a specific requirement to segregate the funds, the flow-through funds which were unexpended at the consolidated balance sheet dates are considered to be restricted and are not considered to be cash and cash equivalents under US GAAP. As at December 31, 2007 there was $nil (December 31, 2006 - $2,653,315) in unexpended flow-through funds.

(d) Impact of recent United States accounting pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's reported financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” ("SFAS 159”), which became effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on a per instrument basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. This will enable some companies to reduce volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that adopting SFAS 159 will have on its results of operations and its financial condition.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within that fiscal year. On February 12, 2008, the FASB approved the Financial Staff Position (“FSP”) No. SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”), which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that adopting SFAS 157 will have on its results of operations and its financial condition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141 (R) to have an effect on its results of operations and its financial condition unless it enters into a business combination after January 1, 2009.
