# Ur-Energy Advances Growth Portfolio in the Great Divide Basin *2026-01-28T07:00:00-05:00* Ur-Energy Advances Growth Portfolio in the Great Divide Basin _**Technical Studies Underway on Lost Soldier Project**_ _**North Hadsell Drilling Returns Significant Intercepts**_ **CASPER, WY / [ACCESS Newswire](https://www.accessnewswire.com/)/ January 28, 2026 / ****Ur-Energy Inc.**(NYSE American:URG)(TSX:URE) (the "Company" or "Ur-Energy"), a U.S. producer of uranium, is pleased to provide an update on work at its Lost Soldier and North Hadsell Projects, located in the Great Divide Basin, Wyoming. Ur-Energy is off to a strong start in 2026 at both the Lost Soldier and North Hadsell Projects, delivering encouraging results in our work programs that demonstrate the upside potential of these assets. The objectives of our drilling were straightforward and value-driven: first, to gather critical hydrogeologic data at Lost Soldier to reduce risk and support efficient planning and permitting, and second, to identify new uranium roll-front targets at North Hadsell. Both projects are located near our producing Lost Creek uranium mine, providing increased potential to leverage existing infrastructure, reduce future development capital requirements, and expand our uranium mineral resource base in Wyoming's prolific Great Divide Basin. **Highlights** **Lost Soldier Project** - **Technical Report: **Efforts are underway to define a mineral resource estimate using detailed roll-front mapping which will allow us to more accurately assess the potential for in situ recovery (ISR), a lower cost method than traditional mining, and provide more information for future project planning. - **Hydrogeologic Risk Reduction: **18 aquifer test wells have been installed to advance our understanding of local hydrogeology, an essential step in reducing project risk and better optimizing permitting, development assumptions, wellfield design, and future development decisions. Testing is expected to begin in Q1 2026. - **Strategic Proximity to Operations:**Lost Soldier is a 17-mile drive from the Company's producing Lost Creek ISR mine and processing facility, which may enable capital-efficient development by leveraging established infrastructure and operating expertise. **North Hadsell Project** - **Early Exploration Success**: Initial results from the ongoing 50-hole drill program are encouraging, with 16 deep, wide-spaced holes completed including five holes that intersected significant uranium mineralization, with 11 intercepts greater than 0.20 Grade Thickness (GT). - **Multiple Stacked Roll-Front Horizons: **Exploration at North Hadsell has confirmed the presence of multiple stacked roll-front horizons with grades and thicknesses similar to the Company's producing Lost Creek ISR mine, supporting confidence in recovery potential. - **Project Scale:**Two of the most compelling holes exhibit this stacked roll-front mineralization at similar depth horizons and are located approximately 1.5 miles apart, indicating the potential scale of the mineralized system. **Ur-Energy CEO and President, Matthew Gili, commented:**"The early success at North Hadsell, combined with our decision to advance technical studies and hydrogeologic work at Lost Soldier, underscores the momentum we are building across our Wyoming growth portfolio. As this work progresses, we see meaningful potential for capital-efficient resource expansion, strengthening Ur-Energy's long-term development pipeline." **Figure 1.

We control 105 unpatented mining claims at the property, totaling approximately 1,960 mineral acres. Recent drilling at Lost Soldier focused on installing 18 aquifer test wells to enhance our understanding of the local hydrogeology. While the geology of the project area is well understood, this additional hydrogeologic characterization will assist our technical teams in optimizing planning, permitting, and potential development activities. Aquifer testing is anticipated to begin in Q1 2026. Work is also underway to complete a new technical report with the goal of establishing a mineral resource estimate based on detailed roll-front mapping. The new report will combine results from recent work and historical data to produce a mineral resource estimate to facilitate assessment and planning for potential ISR development. The technical report on Lost Soldier is expected to be completed later this year. **North Hadsell Project** The North Hadsell Project is located approximately three mile
