LITTLETON, CO / ACCESSWIRE / April 11, 2023 / Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSE American:URG)(TSX:URE) (the "Company" or "Ur-Energy") is pleased to announce that its Chairman and CEO, John Cash, will present at the Emerging Growth Virtual Conference on Wednesday, April 19, 2023.

Mr. Cash will present an update about Lost Creek as we ramp up construction and development operations to deliver into recently secured off-take sales agreements. Additionally, Mr. Cash looks forward to providing a progress report on the construction of our centralized construction facility and chemistry laboratory in Casper, Wyoming. He will also discuss our ongoing and innovative R&D projects. One of the new technologies would result in an additional 90% reduction of disposed water - beyond gains we have already achieved with our first-in-industry Class V system. A second project, on which we have filed a patent application, has the potential to significantly reduce wellfield drill rig time and costs as well as further reducing the already light environmental impact of our recovery methods.

Mr. Cash is presenting Wednesday, April 19, 2023, from 9:05 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. Eastern Time.
