1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION


Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Uranium Resources, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “URI”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in Uranium Resources, Inc.’s 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which are of a normal, recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other period including the full year ending December 31, 2016.


Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements


Prior to the issuance of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company identified an error in its previously reported financial statements that resulted in an adjustment of $0.6 million to the gain recorded upon the sale of the Company’s Roca Honda project assets for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015.  Upon the sale of the Roca Honda assets, the Company did not include the carrying value of its West Endy project in its determination of the amount of the gain.  


The Company assessed the materiality of this error on the prior periods’ financial statements in accordance with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, and concluded that the error was not material to the financial condition for the current and prior interim periods.  Consequently, in accordance with ASC 250, the Company corrected this error for all prior periods presented by revising the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained herein.  


The following table summarizes the effects of the revision on the consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In August 2014,January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”)FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-152017-01 (ASU 2014-15)2017-01), “DisclosureBusiness Combinations:  Clarifying the Definition of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”,Business, which provides guidance onclarifies the definition of a business when determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements.whether a company has acquired or sold a business. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016,2017, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.  We do not expect to early adopt this guidance and dopermitted under certain circumstances.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures.statements.

2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsIn November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows:  Restricted Cash, which will require that a statement of cash flows explain the Company have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which means that the continuation of the Company is presumed even though events and conditions exist that, when consideredchange during period in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt abouttotal of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.  As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the Company’s abilitybeginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.  The ASU applies to continue asall entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.  As a going concern because it is possible thatresult, upon adoption, the Company will be unable to meetinclude the restricted cash amount in its obligations as they become due within one year afterbeginning-of-period and end-of-period reconciliations of cash on its statement of cash flows.  For the date that these financial statements were issued.


Since the second half of 2015,three months ended March 31, 2017, this would have resulted in the Company has faced liquidity challenges.including an additional $4.0 million in its beginning-of-period cash balance and an additional $3.9 million in its end-of-period cash balance.  The Company has encountered difficulties raising sufficient capital asalso would not have recorded a resultrelease of weak capital markets, particularlyrestricted cash of $23,000 in the commodities sector.  The Company’s liquidity was further challenged following the completioninvesting section of the acquisitionits statement of Anatolia Energy Limited (“Anatolia Energy”) on November 9, 2015, wherebycash flows.

2. LIQUIDITY

At March 31, 2017, the Company acquired allhad working capital of $11.4 million, which is expected to provide it with the issued and outstanding common stock of Anatolia Energy (the “Anatolia Transaction”),  as the Company incurred higher than expected transaction costs and assumed significant unpaid trade payables from Anatolia Energy.necessary liquidity through March 31, 2018.  At September 30,December 31, 2016, the Company’s cash balances were $3.8 million and the Company had a working capital deficit of $6.0$4.3 million.  The increase in working capital of $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to the following:

the completion of two equity offerings in January 2017 and February 2017 for net proceeds of $8.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively;  

the completion of the sale of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Hydro Resources Inc. (“HRI”) to Laramide Resources Ltd. (“Laramide”) on January 5, 2017.  Upon completion, the Company received $2.2 million in cash, a $5.0 million promissory note, of which deficit includes $7.5$1.5 million related tois due within 12 months and 2,218,333 shares of Laramide Resources Ltd.’s common stock which had a fair value of $1.0 million at March 31, 2017.  Details regarding this transaction are discussed in Note 3, below; and  

the repayment of the remaining $5.5 million outstanding under the RCF Loan (defined in Note 6, below) which matures on December7, below.)  

Subsequent to March 31, 2016.  The ending cash balance of $3.8 million is expected to provide the Company with sufficient capital to fund its critical operations through December 31, 2016.  The Company’s ability to avoid default on RCF Loan will depend upon renegotiation of the loan terms or raising additional capital from other sources.  The Company presently anticipates funding from the following sources:


·

Laramide Asset Sale


On April 7, 2016, Laramide Resources Ltd. (“Laramide Resources”) and2017, the Company entered into a Share PurchaseControlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Laramide SPA”) for the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary Hydro Resources Inc.,on April 14, 2017 pursuant to which holds the Company’s Churchrock and Crownpoint properties in New Mexico for $12.5 million.  Under the terms of the Laramide SPA, the Company expectsmay offer and sell from time to receive an initial cash payment of $5.25 million upon closing. The closing is subject to certain conditions including completion of a financing by Laramide Resources on commercially reasonable terms and in such amount as is necessary to fund the $5.25 million cash payment. Closing is currently anticipated to occur by November 30, 2016.  Either party may terminate the Laramide SPA if the closing has not occurred by November 30, 2016, which was extended under an amendment agreement from September 30, 2016.  See note 5 for further discussion.


·

Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital


On April 8, 2016, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (“CSPA”) with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire Capital”) to place up to $12.0 million in the aggregatetime shares of its common stock over a term of 30 months following receipt of shareholder approval.  The Company’s shareholders approved the issuancehaving an aggregate offering price of up to 5.0$30.0 million shares of common stock under the CSPA at its Annual General Meeting of Stockholders on June 7, 2016.  As of November 10, 2016 the Company has approximately $6.3 million of common stock and 744,650 shares available for future sales.through Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acting as sales agent (the “ATM Offering”.)  The Company would need to seek stockholder approval before issuing shares in excess of such 744,650 shares.  



The Company’s ability to continue to fund its ongoing operations and continue as a going concern is dependent upon the sources of capital above and the renegotiation or refinancing of the RCF Loan.  While the Company initially expected that the Laramide SPA would close by September 30, 2016, Laramide Resources has experienced delays in obtaining the necessary funding to close the transaction and, as a result, the Company and Laramide Resources agreed to extend the closing date to November 30, 2016.  Based on continued discussions with Laramide Resources and the payment of the $250,000 extension fee, the Company believes that the fundingATM Offering, along with its existing working capital balance, will beprovide it with the necessary liquidity to fund operations in place2018 and beyond.  The Company will also continue to close by November 30, 2016.  In addition, factors such as the Company’s market capitalization, current share price, volatility of trading volume and potential to fall below the reference price under the CSPA ($0.50 per share) may make it difficult for the Company to fully utilize the $6.3 million available under the CSPA.  Therefore, the Company may needexplore additional opportunities to raise additional capital, from other sources.  The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to the RCF Loan and continues to explore opportunities to further monetize its non-core assets and identify ways to reduce its cash expenditures.


The Company has been successful at raising capital in the past, most recently with the completion of registered direct offerings on April 4, 2016 and February 4, 2016 for gross proceeds of $1.25 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and two registered direct offerings during 2015 which occurred on December 18, 2015 and March 6, 2015 for aggregate net proceeds of $6.1 million. In addition, the Company was able to successfully raise capital in 2013 and 2014 through debt and equity fundraising efforts.





URANIUM RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 (unaudited)



Specifically, the Company completed a registered direct offering in February 2014 for net proceeds of $9.3 million and procured the RCF Loan in November 2013 that provided the Company with $8.0 million in cash, which debt matures on December 31, 2016.  


While the Company has been successful in the past raising funds through equity and debt financings as well as through the sale of non-core assets, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet the Company’s needs including upon the maturity of our outstanding debt, or on terms acceptable to the Company.  In the event that funds are not available, the Company may be required to materially change its business plans and it could default under the RCF Loan.

DuringOn January 5, 2017, Laramide and the nine-month period ended September 30,Company closed the sale of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary HRI, which holds the Churchrock and Crownpoint projects, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Laramide SPA”).  Under the terms of the Laramide SPA, as amended on December 5, 2016, the Company received the following consideration:

$2.5 million in cash, of which $250,000 was paid in advance on October 21, 2016;

2,218,333 each of shares of Laramide common stock and Laramide common stock purchase warrants.  Each common stock purchase warrant entitles the Company to purchase one share of common stock of Laramide at a price of CDN$0.45 for a period of 60 months from the date of closing;  

a $5.0 million promissory note, secured by a mortgage over the projects.  The note has a three-year term and carries an initial interest rate of 5% which then increases to 10% upon Laramide’s decision regarding commercial production at the Churchrock project.  Principal payments of approximately $1.5 million are due and payable on January 5 in each of 2018 and 2019, with the balance of $2.0 million due and payable on January 5, 2020.  Interest is payable on a quarterly basis, provided however that no interest will be payable until March 31, 2018.  Laramide will have the right to satisfy up to half of each of these principal payments by delivering shares of its common stock to the Company, which shares will be valued by reference to the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for Laramide’s common stock for the 20 trading days before the respective anniversary of January 5, on which each payment is due;

a retained 4.0% Net Smelter Returns Royalty (“NSR Royalty”) on the Churchrock project, which royalty may be repurchased by Laramide by January 5, 2018 for $4.95 million; and

an option to purchase Laramide’s La Sal project for $3.0 million and an option to purchase its La Jara Mesa project for $5.0 million, both of which expire on January 5, 2018.  Any such exercise by the Company will first result in a reduction of the principal amount due under the promissory note with any remaining portions of the purchase price to be paid in cash by the Company.

The divestiture of HRI was accounted for as an asset disposal and the non-cash consideration received from Laramide was recorded an impairment chargeat fair value.  The fair value of the shares of Laramide common stock received was determined using the closing share price of Laramide’s stock on January 5, 2017.  The Company did not record a value for the warrants received as these were considered contingent consideration until the receipt of approval by Laramide’s stockholders which was obtained at a meeting held on April 27, 2017.  Upon stockholder approval, the Company recorded additional gain of $0.5 million, on its Sejita Dome project which was the result of URI’s Board of Directors and management determining that recent exploration results indicated that the project should be terminated.  As a result, the carryingfair value of the Sejita Dome projectwarrants using the black-scholes method on that date.  The fair value of the notes receivable was written downdetermined using the present value of the future cash receipts discounted at a market rate of 9.5%.  The Company did not record a separate fair value for the options as the exercise of the options would reduce the amount outstanding under the notes receivable.  Due to the high degree of uncertainties surrounding future mine development and minerals prices, as well as limited marketability, the Company determined the fair value of the NSR Royalty to be nil.  The following fair value amounts were recorded as the purchase consideration:

4. MINERAL PROPERTY EXPENDITURESFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


Applicable accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and establishes a fair-value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):

Mineral property expenditures by jurisdiction

Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are observable at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the threeasset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and nine months ended September 30,inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 includes unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions about what factors market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are developed based on the best information available, including internal data.

The Company believes that the fair values of our assets and liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts.  The following table presents information about assets that were recorded at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and 2015are as follows:

Introduction


URI is an energy metals exploration and development and production company focused on energy-related metals.company. We were organized in 1977 to acquire and develop uranium projects in South Texas using the in-situ recovery (“ISR”) process. We have historically produced uranium by ISR methods in the state of Texas where we currently have ISR projects and two licensed processing facilities.  Following our 2015 acquisition of Anatolia Energy, we are focused on advancing to near-term productionexpanding our energy metals strategy, which includes developing our new lithium business while maintaining optionality on the Temrezli ISR project in Central Turkey. URI also controls extensive exploration properties in the region of the Temrezli project, which are held under nine exploration and operating licenses covering approximately 32,000 acres,future rising uranium price with numerous exploration targets, including the potential satellite Sefaatli project, which is located approximately 30 miles southwest of the Temrezli project. We also control approximately 190,000 acres of mineralour significant uranium property holdings in the prolific Grants Mineral BeltRepublic of the State ofTurkey, Texas and New Mexico, a portion of which we have entered into a definitive purchase agreement to sell and approximately 12,000 acresMexico. Incorporated in the South Texas uranium province.1977, URI acquired these properties over the past 25 years along withalso owns an extensive information database of historic drill-hole logs, assay certificates, maps and analysis. Nonetechnical reports for uranium properties located in the western United States.

We established our lithium business in 2016 and currently control mineral rights encompassing approximately 27,000 acres in two prospective lithium brine basins in Nevada and Utah.  We are planning to conduct exploration and geological evaluation of URI’sthese properties arein 2017 and 2018 for potential development of any lithium resources that may be discovered there.

The focus of our uranium business continues to be on advancing the Temrezli in-situ recovery (“ISR”) uranium project in central Turkey when uranium prices permit economic development of this project. We control extensive exploration properties in Turkey under eight exploration and operating licenses covering approximately 39,000 acres.  In Texas, we have two licensed and currently idled uranium processing facilities and approximately 11,000 acres of prospective ISR uranium projects. In New Mexico, the Company controls mineral rights encompassing approximately 186,000 acres in production.

Recent Developments


Uranium Market OverviewReview of Columbus Basin Data


Persistent oversupply inOn April 5, 2017, the uranium marketsCompany announced that its independent geophysical consultant has resulted in lower market prices.  Ascompleted the review, integration and reinterpretation of September 30, 2016, prices have dropped to $23.75 per pound, and have dropped further to less than $20.00per pound at mid-October 2016. Prices at this low level have not been seenhistorical geophysical survey data acquired by the industry since 2006.  Worldwide nuclear reactor constructionCompany and commissioning continues to expand the power plant fleet, and many analysts expect that, over time, the resulting demand for uranium will increase but that at the same time that demand is increasing, supply will attenuate as the current low price environment does little to incentivize new production sources to come online.    Thus, many analysts forecast prices for uranium to be much higher in the longer term, but the lower current price presents the Company with challenges in the short term.


Uranium Resources Strategy


The Company holds high quality, low cost uranium projects in New Mexico, Texas, and the Republic of Turkey.  Low holding costs allow the Company to hold these projects on a care and maintenance basis for the long-term.  Development of the Company’s uranium projects remains dependent upon higher uranium prices and project financing.


In the meantime, the Company has embarked on a growth strategy in the lithium industry.  Our existing experience and skills base are anticipated to be directly applicable tocovering its Columbus Basin lithium brine exploration developmentproject in Nevada. Among other things, the results of the work indicated that the depth of the Columbus Salt Marsh basin is greater than previously anticipated and production.  In the application of our existing expertise, we can take advantage of a growing lithium market, adding value to the Company while maintaining optionality to the uranium price.


The lithium market is driven by the growth in lithium ion batteries that power mobile telephone and computing devices, power tools, and most importantly, the transportation sector.  The CRU Group estimates that global demandidentified certain targets for lithium will grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 6.3% over the period 2015 to 2025 with electric vehicles accounting for an increase in demand of 39% during the same period.  On the supply side, while production is expected to increase, the CRU Group estimates that prices will stabilize in the $4,300 to $8,300 per Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (“LCE”) ton range by 2025.


To that end, the Company has targeted low cost lithium brine exploration and development projects.  These projects tend to have estimated first quartile cash cost performance, or about $2,000 per LCE ton.   Combined with our existing expertise, this is a good fit for the company and a natural extension of our business.  The Company has been active in acquiring projects of this type since mid-2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsAt March 31, 2017, we had working capital of $11.4 million, which is expected to provide us with the Company have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which means that the continuation of the Company is presumed even though events and conditions exist that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because it is possible that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements were issued.


Since the second half of 2015, the Company has facednecessary liquidity challenges.  The Company has encountered difficulties raising sufficient capital as a result of weak capital markets, particularly in the commodities sector.  The Company’s liquidity was further challenged following the completion of the Anatolia Transaction on November 9, 2015, as the Company incurred higher than expected transaction costs and assumed significant unpaid trade payables from Anatolia Energy.through March 31, 2018.  At September 30,December 31, 2016, the Company’s cash balance was $3.8 million and the Companywe had a working capital deficit of $6.0$4.3 million.  The increase in working capital of $15.6 million which deficit includes $7.5 million relatedfor the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to the RCF Loan which matures on December 31, 2016.  The ending cash balancefollowing:

the completion of $3.8two equity offerings in January 2017 and February 2017 for net proceeds of $8.9 million is expected to provide and $4.5 million, respectively;   

the Company with sufficient capital to fund its critical operations through December 31, 2016.  The Company’s ability to avoid default on the RCF Loan will depend upon renegotiationcompletion of the loan terms, or raising additional capital from other sources. The Company presently anticipates funding from the following sources:

Laramide Asset Sale


On April 7, 2016, Laramide Resources and the Company entered into the Laramide SPA for the sale of itsour wholly-owned subsidiary, Hydro Resources Inc.,HRI, to Laramide on January 5, 2017.  Upon completion, we received $2.2 million in cash, a $5.0 million promissory note, of which holds $1.5 million is due within 12 months and 2,218,333 shares of Laramide’s common stock which had a fair value of $1.0 million at March 31, 2017; and  

the Company’s Churchrock and Crownpoint properties in New Mexico for $12.5 million.  Under the termsrepayment of the Laramide SPA,remaining $5.5 million outstanding under the Company expectsRCF Loan.

Subsequent to receive an initial cash payment of $5.25 million upon closing. The closing is subject to certain conditions including completion of a financing by Laramide Resources on commercially reasonable terms and in such amount as is necessary to fund the $5.25 million cash payment. Closing is currently anticipated to occur by November 30, 2016.  Either party may terminate the Laramide SPA if the closing has not occurred by November 30, 2016, which was extended under an amendment agreement from September 30, 2016.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital


On April 8, 2016, the CompanyMarch 31, 2017, we entered into the CSPA with Aspire Capitala Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement on April 14, 2017 pursuant to place upwhich we may offer and sell from time to $12.0 million in the aggregatetime shares of itsour common stock over a term of 30 months following receipt of shareholder approval.  The Company’s shareholders approved the issuancehaving an aggregate offering price of up to 5.0$30.0 million shares of common stock underthrough Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acting as sales agent.  We expect that the CSPA at its Annual General Meeting of Stockholders on June 7, 2016.  As of November 10, 2016ATM Offering, along with our existing working capital will provide us with the Company has approximately $6.3 million of common stocknecessary liquidity in 2018 and 744,650 shares available for future sales.  The Company would need to seek stockholder approval before issuing shares in excess of such 744,650 shares.  


The Company’s ability tobeyond.  We will also continue to fund its ongoing operations and continue as a going concern is dependent upon the sources of capital above and the renegotiation or refinancing of the RCF Loan.  While the Company initially expected that the Laramide SPA would close by September 30, 2016, Laramide Resources has experienced delays in obtaining the necessary funding to close the transaction and, as a result, the Company and Laramide Resources agreed to extend the closing date to November 30, 2016.  Based on continued discussions with Laramide Resources and the payment of the $250,000 extension fee, the Company believes that the funding will be in place to close by November 30, 2016.  In addition, factors such as the Company’s market capitalization, current share price, volatility of trading volume and potential to fall below the reference price under the CSPA ($0.50 per share) may make it difficult for the Company to fully utilize the $6.3 million available under the CSPA.  Therefore, the Company may needexplore additional opportunities to raise additional capital, from other sources.  The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to the RCF Loan and continues to explore opportunities to further monetize itsour non-core assets and identify ways to reduce itsour cash expenditures.


The Company has been successful at raising capital in the past, most recently with the completion of registered direct offerings on April 4, 2016 and February 4, 2016 for gross proceeds of $1.25 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and two registered direct offerings during 2015 which occurred on December 18, 2015 and March 6, 2015 for aggregate net proceeds of $6.1 million. In addition, the Company was able to successfully raise capital in 2013 and 2014 through debt and equity fundraising efforts. Specifically, the Company completed a registered direct offering in February 2014 for net proceeds of $9.3 million and procured the RCF Loan in November 2013 that provided the Company with $8.0 million in cash, which debt matures on December 31, 2016.  


While the Company haswe have been successful in the past raising funds through equity and debt financings as well as through the sale of non-core assets, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to itus in amounts sufficient to meet the Company’sour needs including upon the maturity of our outstanding debt, or on terms acceptable to the Company.us.  In the event that funds are not available, the Companywe may be required to materially change itsour business plans and it could default under the RCF Loan.

Dispute over Kleberg Settlement Agreement


On March 14, 2016, URI, Inc. filed a motion for rehearing and reconsideration en banc before the 13th Court of Appeals of Texas.  URI, Inc. argued that the Court should grant rehearing or reconsideration because its prior opinion, which added new terms to the 2004 Settlement Agreement, ignored established precedent and improperly violated the prohibition against consideration of extraneous matters when interpreting unambiguous contracts.  On March 30, 2016, the 13th Court of Appeals denied the motion for rehearing en banc.  On June 15, 2016, URI, Inc. filed a petition for review with the Texas Supreme Court raising the issue of whether a court may alter the explicit terms of an unambiguous contract based on one party’s subjective belief regarding whether certain data meets the requirements of the contract as well as other related issues.  On August 19, 2016, the Supreme Court requested Kleberg County to file a response, and on October 19, 2016, Kleberg County filed a response to the petition for review.  The petition and its response are under review by the Texas Supreme Court.

On April 14, 2016, Company representatives and a former contractor of the Company (both assisted by counsel) participated in a mediation session and agreed to resolve the dispute.  On May 4, 2016, the Company and its former contractor executed a settlement agreement in which the Company agreed to pay its former contractor an amount equal to $90,000 in three installments:  $10,000 to be paid within five business days of executing a settlement agreement; $40,000 to be paid on or before June 30, 2016; and the remaining $40,000 to be paid on or before September 30, 2016.  In exchange, the Company’s former contractor agreed to dismiss the lawsuit within two business days of executing a settlement agreement and also agreed to release all claims against the Company after the three payments have been made.  Counsel for the parties have filed with the District Court a stipulated motion to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, and the Court issued an order dismissing the case on May 11, 2016.  On September 30, 2016, the Company made the third and final payment required under the settlement agreement.  No further action is required of either the Company or its former contractor.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.


Other than as set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes from those risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.


Closing of our previously announced transaction for the sale of the Company’s Churchrock and Crownpoint projects to Laramide Resources has not yet occurred and no assurances can be given that this transaction will close. If we do not raise sufficient additional capital in the very near term, our business, liquidity and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.


As of the date of this filing, the conditions to the closing of our previously announced transaction with Laramide Resources have not been satisfied, and in particular, Laramide Resources has not yet completed a financing on commercially reasonable terms to fund the $5.25 million cash payment due to the Company at closing. As a result, the closing of the transaction has extended beyond the Company’s original anticipated closing date of September 30, 2016, and no assurances can be given that this transaction will ever close. Each party may terminate the Laramide SPA if the closing thereunder has not occurred on or before November 30, 2016, which was extended through a letter amendment from September 30, 2016.


As discussed above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, the Company faces an ongoing need to raise capital. Funds from the closing of the Laramide SPA are a material component of the Company’s current funding plans, and if we are unable to close the transaction with Laramide Resources, we anticipate that we will need to raise significant amounts of capital from alternative sources in the very near term.


While the Company has been successful in the past raising funds through equity and debt financings as well as through the sale of non-core assets, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet the Company’s needs, including upon the maturity of our outstanding debt, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event funds are not available, the Company may be required to materially change its business plans and it could default under the RCF Loan.


The Company has no known lithium mineral reserves and it may not find any lithium and, even if it finds lithium, it may not be in economic quantities.


The Company has no known lithium mineral reserves at its Columbus Basin project, Sal Rica project or any other property. Additionally, even if the Company finds lithium in sufficient quantities to warrant recovery, it ultimately may not be recoverable. Finally, even if any lithium is recoverable, the Company does not know whether recovery can be done at a profit. The Company’s lithium activities are highly prospective and may not result in any benefit to the Company.


Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in new mineral exploration ventures, the Company’s lithium exploration activities face a high risk of business failure.


Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration ventures and the high rate of failure of such ventures. The likelihood of success of the Company’s lithium exploration activities must be considered in light of the potential problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of new mineral properties. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be made by the Company in the exploration of its new lithium claims may not result in the discovery of lithium deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in new mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of the Company’s new exploration ventures do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, it may decide to abandon its claims. If this happens, the Company will not benefit from any of the expenditures it will incur in pursuing the claims.


The Company’s experience in uranium exploration may not apply to its plans for lithium exploration or development.


Although the Company and the members of its management team have significant experience in uranium exploration and development that appears to be synergistic with lithium exploration and development, neither the Company nor any member of its management team has directly engaged in the exploration for or development of lithium deposits. In particular, the Company believes there are similarities between the exploration for and development of lithium brines and the ISR of uranium, but it may not have sufficiently detailed expertise to effectively explore for and develop lithium deposits. The Company’s lack of specific lithium experience may lead it to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of its lithium exploration and development activities and may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company may need to hire employees or retain consultants with the requisite experience in lithium exploration and development that are not currently anticipated in the near-term.






Volatility in lithium prices may make it commercially infeasible for the Company to develop its claims and may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.


The Company’s lithium exploration and development activities may be significantly adversely affected by volatility in the price of lithium. Mineral prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond its control such as global and regional supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, and the political and economic conditions of mineral-producing countries throughout the world. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company’s lithium activities not producing an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
