Dahlman Rose Initiates Coverage of URZ

ANTHONY YOUNG, Dahlman Rose & Co. (02/09/2011)
"We are initiating coverage on Uranerz with a Buy rating and a $7.50/share price target based upon our NAV analysis. We like the leverage that Uranerz earnings should exhibit toward movements in uranium prices. Given our anticipation that uranium prices should move significantly higher over the near term, we anticipate that the shares should benefit from this move in the underlying commodity.

Commencing construction activity should provide a catalyst to the shares. We anticipate that the company should receive its last permit around February 28, 2011 and that it should be able to start construction shortly thereafter. We anticipate that construction of Nicholas Ranch should take ~15 months and that production should commence in mid-2012.

We expect the company will ramp-up production from satellite projects over the remainder of the decade. Nicholas Ranch will be the company's first development project. Given its reserve base and significant land holdings in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, we anticipate that Uranerz will develop several satellite projects in the region, which should meaningfully increase uranium output."
