URG: Stock Price Ranked Among Leading Gainers in 2010

MICHAEL SHONSTROM, GVC Capital (01/10/2011)
"Shares of Ur-Energy gained 289.9% for the year making it the top-performing stock in Colorado: Beginning mid-year, the stock began to gather momentum when the company reached several milestones in its progression through the mine permitting regulatory process. At the same time, Uranium (U3O8) Spot prices also began to move higher rising 59.5% from a price of $40.75 at the end of June 2010 to $65. in the first week of January 2011.

Recent exploration activity at the Lost Creek mine has defined uranium deposits at lower depths and additional roll fronts in the adjacent LC South area: Uranium mineral concentrations ranged from 0.033% to 0.067% at LC South and were 0.049% in the deeper Lost Creek strata. These concentrations compare to economically viable Los Creek permit area concentrations of 0.058%. While these new findings have yet to be certified as NI 43-101 compliant, the prospect of additional economically viable mineral resources further establishes the company as being in the front rank of development-stage producers.

We are maintaining a Speculative Buy rating and raising the price target to $3.50. Based on the balance sheet as of 9/30/2010, plus the recent option exercise, this places the Price/Book multiple at 4.5x or half the valuation for its peer group and the Price:Cash ratio lower than all but one of the company's comparables."
