Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and include the accounts of URI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“US GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in the preparation of the financial statements are related to asset retirement obligations; stock-based compensation; derivative liabilities and asset impairment, including estimates used to derive future cash flows or market value associated with those assets. Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. We maintain cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. We monitor the soundness of the financial institution and believe the risk is negligible. Available-for-Sale Investments We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluate such determinations each reporting date. Marketable equity securities are categorized as available-for-sale and carried at fair market value on the Balance Sheet. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, unless an other-than-temporary impairment in value has occurred in which case the unrealized loss would be charged to current period loss as an impairment charge. Unrealized gains and losses originally included in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to current period net loss when the sale of securities occurs or when a security is impaired. Property, Plant and Equipment Facilities and Equipment Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost. The facilities and equipment are amortized using the units of production method. During the periods that our facilities are not in production, depreciation of our facilities and equipment is suspended as the assets are not in service. Uranium Properties Mineral rights acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred, and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When we determine that a mineral right can be economically developed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the costs then incurred to develop such property will be capitalized. During the periods that our facilities are not in production, depletion of our mineral interests, permits, licenses and development properties is suspended as the assets are not in service. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any undepleted costs will be charged to loss in that period. Other Property, Plant and Equipment Other property, plant and equipment consists of corporate office equipment, furniture and fixtures and transportation equipment. Depreciation on other property is computed based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Gain or loss on disposal of such assets is recorded as other income or expense as such assets are disposed. Asset Impairment The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows or upon an estimate of fair value that may be received in an exchange transaction. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected uranium prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital, based upon the projected remaining future uranium production from each project. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization that is not part of the measured, indicated or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of uranium that will be obtained after taking into account losses during processing and treatment. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is likely that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, uranium prices, production levels and operating costs of production and availability and cost of capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Assets held for sale The Company considers assets to be held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market the assets for sale at a price reasonable in relation to fair value, the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sale have been initiated, the sale of the asset is expected to be completed within one year and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan. Upon designation as held for sale, the Company records the carrying value of the assets at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. Restricted Cash At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had pledged certificates of deposit and money market accounts of $4.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, in order to collateralize performance bonds required for future restoration and reclamation obligations related to our South Texas production properties. These funds are not readily available to the Company and are not included in cash equivalents. Asset Retirement Obligations Various federal and state mining laws and regulations require the Company to reclaim the surface areas and restore underground water quality for its ISR projects to the pre-existing or background average quality after the completion of mining. Asset retirement obligations, consisting primarily of estimated restoration and reclamation costs at the Company’s South Texas ISR projects, are recognized in the period incurred and recorded as liabilities at fair value. Such obligations, which are initially estimated based on discounted cash flow estimates, are accreted to full value over time through charges to accretion expense. In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying value and amortized over the life of the related asset. If the Company does not have a recorded value for the related asset, then the asset retirement cost is expensed as incurred. Asset retirement obligations are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from revisions to the estimated timing or amount of restoration and reclamation costs. As the Company completes its restoration and reclamation work at its properties, the liability is reduced by the carrying value of the related asset retirement liability which is based upon the percentage of completion of each restoration and reclamation activity. Any gain or loss upon settlement is charged to income or expense and is included as part of the Company’s mineral property expense for the period. The Company reviews and evaluates its asset retirement obligations annually or more frequently at interim periods if deemed necessary. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, restricted cash and derivative liabilities. U.S. GAAP defines “fair value” as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be 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): ● Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. ● Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. ● Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair-value measurement and unobservable. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. Periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various U.S. operating accounts in excess of U.S. federally insured limits. The following table presents information about financial instruments recognized at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and indicates the fair value hierarchy: December 31, 2015 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Short-term available-for-sale investments $ 226 $ - $ - $ 226 Restricted cash 4,026 - - 4,026 Total assets recorded at fair value $ 4,252 $ - $ - $ 4,252 December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Restricted cash $ 3,941 $ - $ - $ 3,941 Total assets recorded at fair value $ 3,941 $ - $ - $ 3,941 Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is not presented as the effect on the basic loss per share would be anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had 1,126,543 and 315,195 in potentially dilutive securities, respectively. Foreign Currency The functional currency for the companies recently acquired in the Anatolia Transaction was determined to be the U.S. dollar upon completion of the acquisition since our newly acquired foreign subsidiaries are direct and integral components of URI and are dependent upon the economic environment of URI’s functional currency. Accordingly, we have translated our monetary assets and liabilities at the period-end exchange rate and the non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical rates, with income and expenses translated at the average exchange rate for the current period. All translation gains and losses have been included in the current period loss. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (ASU 2014-15), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. 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. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt this guidance and do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements. We are still assessing the impact on the related disclosures. In September 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust the financial statements for measurement-period adjustments that occur in periods after a business combination is consummated. These changes become effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015. The Company is still assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Liquidity and Going Concern	2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN The Consolidated Financial Statements of 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. Following completion of the Anatolia Transaction, the Company faced liquidity challenges as it encountered difficulty raising sufficient capital as a result of weakening capital markets, particularly in the commodities sector. In addition, the Company incurred higher than expected transaction costs and assumed significant unpaid trade payables from Anatolia Energy. At December 31, 2015 the Company’s cash balances were $0.9 million and the Company had a working capital deficit of $8.9 million. Contributing to the working capital deficit was the reclassification of the RCF Loan (defined in Note 6, below) from long-term to short-term liabilities as the RCF Loan matures on December 31, 2016. On February 4, 2016, the Company completed a registered direct offering whereby it sold 296,667 shares of common stock at a price of $2.82 per share. Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting offering expenses, were $0.8 million. The ending cash balance of $0.9 million along with the proceeds received from the registered direct offering of $0.8 million provided the Company with sufficient capital to fund its critical operations through March 31, 2016. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the Company expects to receive funding from the following sources: ● Laramide Asset Sale On November 9, 2015, the Company entered into a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Laramide Resources for the sale of its Churchrock and Crownpoint properties in New Mexico. Under the terms of the binding LOI, the Company expects to receive a cash payment of $5.25 million upon closing, currently anticipated to occur in Q2 2016. ● Option Agreement with Aspire Capital On February 3, 2016, the Company and Aspire Capital entered into an option agreement by which Aspire Capital granted it the right at any time or times prior to April 30, 2017 to require Aspire Capital to enter into up to two SPAs, each having a term of up to 24 months and collectively requiring Aspire Capital to purchase up to $10 million in the aggregate of its common stock on an ongoing basis when required by the Company. ● At-the-Market Sales Agreement The Company has an existing ATM Sales Agreement that allows it to sell, from time-to-time, shares of its common stock in at-the-market offerings having an aggregate offering amount up to $15.0 million of which we have approximately $5.6 million available for future sales as of March 12, 2016. While the Company believes the sources of capital above may provide sufficient liquidity to fund ongoing operations through December 31, 2016 and settle the RCF Loan upon maturity, the Company’s market capitalization, low trading volume and potential to fall below the reference price under the SPAs may make it difficult for the Company to fully utilize the $10.0 million and $5.6 million available under the SPAs and ATM Sales Agreement, respectively. Therefore the Company believes that it will need to raise additional funding or renegotiate the terms of the RCF Loan in order to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to the RCF Loan and also continues to explore opportunities to raise additional funds, further monetize its non-core assets and look for ways to reduce its monthly cash expenditures. The Company has been successful at raising capital in the past, most recently with the completion of the registered direct offering on February 4, 2016 for gross proceeds of $0.8 million 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 completion of a registered direct offering in February 2014 for net proceeds of $9.3 million as well as procuring a convertible secured debt facility in November 2013 that provided us with $8.0 million in cash, which debt matures in December 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 its 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 change its planned business strategies or it could default under its secured debt facility.

Acquisitions and Disposals	3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS Acquisition of Anatolia Energy On November 9, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding securities of Anatolia Energy for total consideration of $17.4 million. The consideration was comprised of $1.5 million in cash used to fund Anatolia Energy’s operating activities prior to completion of the Anatolia Transaction, $15.9 million in common stock of the Company and listed and unlisted options in the Company. Each ordinary share of Anatolia Energy was exchanged for 0.00548 common shares of URI and each outstanding Anatolia Energy performance share, listed option or unlisted option was converted into a performance share, listed option or unlisted option (as applicable) to acquire common shares of the Company, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable prior to the Anatolia Transaction, except that the number of shares to be received upon conversion and the exercise price were adjusted based on the fair value of the performance share, listed option or unlisted option prior to completion of the Anatolia Transaction, as to preserve the economic value of such performance share or option. As a result, the Company issued 1,709,724 new shares, 266,742 listed options, 310,921 options and 58,286 performance shares. The value of the Company’s stock issued as consideration was based upon the opening share price on November 10, 2015 of $9.00 for those shares issued on the NASDAQ and A$11.88 ($8.38) for those shares issued on the ASX. The Company did not include the fair value of the performance shares in its determination of the purchase price as in accordance with accounting rules, expense should not be recognized until it is reasonably certain that the performance condition will be satisfied. As the Company does not believe the performance condition will be satisfied prior to the date the performance shares expire, it did not include the fair value of the performance shares in the determination of the purchase price. The results of Anatolia Energy are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations commencing November 10, 2015. Acquisition related costs were $3.0 million, of which $0.7 million was settled by the issuance of 79,841 shares of URI’s common stock. Subsequent to December 31, 2015, URI issued an additional 117,097 shares of common stock as settlement of $0.7 million of required termination payments. Anatolia Energy is an Australian entity that indirectly holds a 100% interest in the Temrezli project located in Central Turkey, which URI plans to advance to near-term production. The acquisition of Anatolia Energy was accounted for as a business combination with URI deemed to be the acquirer, as, post-combination, URI continues to control the Board of Directors and senior management positions and has overall control over the day-to-day activities of the combined entity. The following summarizes the preliminary allocation of purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands): Consideration: Cash $ 1,497 Issuance of 1,709,724 common shares for replacement of Anatolia Energy shares 14,563 Issuance of 266,742 listed options for replacement of Anatolia Energy listed options 424 Issuance of 310,921 options for replacement of Anatolia Energy options 884 Issuance of 58,286 performance shares to replace Anatolia Energy performance shares - $ 17,368 Fair value of net assets acquired: Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 61 Short-term receivables 64 Prepaid and other current assets 217 Restricted cash 85 Property, plant, equipment and uranium interests 17,992 Total assets 18,419 Liabilities: Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities 1,051 Total liabilities 1,051 Net assets $ 17,368 The carrying value of the current assets and liabilities assumed approximated the fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of the uranium properties was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. Key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis include discount rates, mineral resources, future timing of production, recovery rates and future capital and operating costs. The unaudited pro forma financial information below represents the combined results of the Company’s operations as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it indicative of future operating results. For the year ended December 31, 2015 2014 Net loss (15,203 ) $ (15,601 ) Basic and diluted loss per share (5.65 ) (4.08 ) Purchase and Exchange Agreement with Energy Fuels On June 26, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “PEA”) with Energy Fuels Inc. and a subsidiary of Energy Fuels Inc. (collectively, “Energy Fuels”), pursuant to which at closing on July 31, 2015 subsidiaries of URI transferred ownership of URI’s Roca Honda project, including mineral fee lands and unpatented lode mining claims in Sections 8 and 17 of Township 13 North, Range 8 West, covering approximately 1,240 acres and 3,382 acres of leased claims to Energy Fuels. In exchange, Energy Fuels delivered to URI (i) $2.5 million in cash, (ii) 76,455 shares of Energy Fuels common stock with a fair value upon closing of $0.3 million, which were subsequently sold on February 22, 2016 for $0.2 million, (iii) Energy Fuels’ 4% gross royalty covering 5,640 acres on seven mineral leases in the state of Wyoming at the Kendrick and Barber areas of the Lance uranium in-situ recovery project, which is currently under construction by Peninsula Energy Limited, and (iv) unpatented lode mining claims covering 640 acres in Section 4 of Township 16 North, Range 18 West, located near Churchrock, New Mexico, which are contiguous with the Company’s Churchrock project, as well as claims in Section 34 and leases from the state of New Mexico in Sections 32 and 36, all situated in Township 17 North, Range 16 West. URI also retained a 4% royalty on Section 17 of the Roca Honda project. The royalty can be repurchased by Energy Fuels upon payment to URI of $5.0 million cash at any time at Energy Fuel’s sole discretion prior to the date on which the first royalty payment becomes due. The divestiture of the Roca Honda project was accounted for as an asset disposal and the non-cash considerations received from Energy Fuels was recorded at fair value. The fair value of the shares of Energy Fuels common stock received was determined using the closing share price of Energy Fuels stock on July 31, 2015. The fair value of the unpatented lode mining claims and mineral leases was determined based upon the per pound value of similar transactions involving unproved uranium assets within the last three years. The Company determined that the Lance Royalty had de minimus value and therefore determined the fair value to be nil. The following fair value amounts were recorded as the purchase consideration: (thousands of dollars) Fair Value Cash $ 2,500 Energy Fuels Inc. common stock 293 Churchrock properties 2,123 Lance Royalty - Total Consideration Received $ 4,916 The fair value of the shares of Energy Fuel’s common stock received were valued using Level 1 inputs of the fair-value hierarchy and the fair value of the unpatented lode mining claims and mineral leases were valued using Level 3 inputs of the fair-value hierarchy (as defined in Note 1 above). During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company identified an adjustment of $0.6 million to its previously recorded gain on the sale of the Roca Honda assets. The Company previously did not include the carrying value of the West Endy project in its determination of the amount of the gain. The Company recorded this out-of-period adjustment in the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The Company assessed the materiality of this error on our current and prior period financial statements in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1.M and SAB Topic 1.N, and concluded the error was not material to the financial condition for the current and prior interim periods. As a result of this error, the Company reported net income of $0.3 million for the three month period and a net loss of $8.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, which should have been reported as a loss of $0.3 and $8.7 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company reported earnings per share of $0.01 for the three month period and loss per share of $0.28 per share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, which should have been reported as a loss per share of $0.01 and $0.30, respectively. The Company evaluated the impact of this error on the loss for the full fiscal year and on the trends of its earnings and determined that it did not have a material impact on either. The Company recorded the following gain on disposal of uranium properties within its Consolidated Statement of Operations: (thousands of dollars) Total Consideration Received $ 4,916 Carrying value of Roca Honda project 648 Gain on disposal of Roca Honda project $ 4,268 Asset Exchange Agreement with Rio Grande Resources Corporation On September 5, 2014, the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Uranco, Inc. and Rio Grande Resources Corporation (“RGR”) entered into an Asset Exchange Agreement whereby the Company agreed to acquire from RGR certain uranium properties located in South Texas near the Company’s processing facilities, including, among others, the Alta Mesa Este, Butler Ranch and Sejita Dome exploration projects. In exchange for these South Texas properties, the Company agreed to transfer to RGR two parcels of fee-owned mineral rights and a royalty interest in the Roca Honda area of west-central New Mexico. The Company retained certain leases, mining claims and fee-owned mineral interest on separate parcels in the Roca Honda area. On November 6, 2014, after completing customary due diligence and satisfying certain closing conditions, the Company and RGR closed the transaction and effectuated the exchange of properties. The Asset Exchange Agreement was determined to be a non-monetary exchange of assets having commercial substance in accordance with ASC Topic 845 which requires the assets received in an asset exchange be recorded at the fair value of the assets relinquished. The Company determined the fair value of the Roca Honda assets relinquished to be $2.3 million. This fair value was determined based upon the per pound value of similar transactions involving unproved uranium assets within the last 3 years. The carrying value of the Roca Honda assets relinquished in the transaction had previously been written off to nil in prior years and, as a result, the entire $2.3 million was recognized as a gain on non-monetary exchange of assets and included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company controls six licenses that make up the Temrezli project area that were granted to our Turkey-based subsidiary Adur Madencilik Ltd Sti. by the Turkish General Directorate of Mining Affairs. The granted licenses cover an area of about 13,490 acres. We hold these licenses through the payment of fees to the Turkish government and the fulfillment of certain physical work obligations on an annual basis. Uranium production from the licenses is subject to the payment of a sliding scale royalty, ranging from 2% to 16% depending upon the sales price of uranium, as defined by Turkish mining law. The sliding scale royalty payments are to be made to certain agencies of the local and Turkish governments. A further 1% royalty is payable to the General Directorate of Mining Affairs, who discovered the Temrezli uranium deposit. Kingsville Dome Project The Kingsville Dome project consists of mineral leases from private landowners on about 2,434 gross and 2,227 net acres located in central Kleberg County, Texas. The leases provide for payment to the landowners of royalties based upon a percentage of uranium sales of 6.25% to 9.375%. The leases have expiration dates ranging from 2000 to 2007 however, we hold most of these leases by production and with a few minor exceptions all the leases contain clauses that permit us to extend the leases not held by production by payment of an annual per acre royalty ranging from $10 to $30. We have paid such royalties on all material acreage. Rosita Project The Rosita project consists of mineral leases from private landowners on about 3,377 gross and net acres located in north-central Duval County, Texas. The Rosita South property consists of mineral leases from private land owners on about 1,795 gross acres and 1,479 net acres located in Duval County near the Company’s Rosita project. The leases provide for the payment to the landowners of sliding scale royalties based on a percentage of uranium sales. Royalty percentages on average increase from 6.25% up to 18.25% when uranium prices reach $80.00 per pound. The leases have primary and secondary terms to 2015, and provisions to extend the leases for an additional twenty years. We are holding these leases by payment of rentals ranging from $10 to $30 per acre. Vasquez Project The Vasquez project is comprised of a mineral lease on 872 gross and net acres located in southwestern Duval County, in South Texas. The primary term expired in February 2008; however we hold the lease by production and reclamation activities. The lease provides for the payment to the landowner royalties based upon 6.25% of uranium sales below $25.00 per pound and royalty rate increases on a sliding scale up to 10.25% for uranium sales occurring at or above $40.00 per pound. Butler Ranch Project As discussed in Note 3 above, the Butler Ranch exploration project was acquired as part of the Company’s Asset Exchange Agreement. The property is comprised of nine fee leases that cover an area of about 2,653 gross or 2,592 net acres of mineral rights. We can hold the leases by payment of annual rental fees, ranging from $10 to $25 per acre. Each of the leases makes provision for the payment of royalties of 10% of sales to the property owners. Leases have initial terms of 8 to 10 years and have provisions to “hold by drilling” and identifying uranium mineralization on the specific properties. Churchrock Project The Churchrock project encompasses about 3,458 gross and net acres. The properties that comprise the Churchrock project are located in McKinley County, New Mexico and consist of three targets, known as Section 8, Section 17 and Mancos. None of these targets lies within the area generally recognized as constituting the Navajo Nation. We own the mineral estate in fee for both Section 17 and part of the the Mancos target (Sections 7 and 13). We also own patented and unpatented lode mining claims on the Section 8 target and unpatented lode mining claims on the remainder of the Mancos target. The assets and liabilities associated with the Churchrock project have been classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. See Note 5 below. The surface estate on Section 17, Mancos Section 13 and Mancos Section 7 is owned by the U.S. Government and held in trust for the Navajo Nation (the “Nation”). On those sections we have royalty obligations ranging from 5% to 6 1 4 Crownpoint Project The Crownpoint project is located in the San Juan Basin, 22 miles northeast of the Company’s Churchrock project and 35 miles northeast of Gallup, New Mexico, adjacent to the town of Crownpoint. The Crownpoint project consists of 640 gross and 556 net acres. The Company holds the mineral rights in the northwest 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 Cebolleta Project In connection with the merger of Neutron (and its wholly-owned subsidiary Cibola Resources LLC (“Cibola”)) we acquired the Cebolleta Lease with La Merced del Pueblo de Cebolleta (the “Cebolleta Land Grant”), a privately held land grant, to lease the Cebolleta Project, which is composed of approximately 6,717 acres of fee (deeded) surface and mineral rights. The Cebolleta Lease provides for: (i) a term of ten years and so long thereafter as Cibola is conducting operations on the Cebolleta Project; (ii) initial payments to the Cebolleta Land Grant of $5.0 million; (iii) a recoverable reserve payment equal to $1.00 multiplied by the number of pounds of recoverable uranium reserves upon completion of a feasibility study to be completed within six years, less (a) the $5.0 million referred to in (ii) above, and (b) not more than $1.5 million in annual advance royalties previously paid pursuant to (iv); (iv) annual advanced royalty payments of $0.5 million; (v) gross proceeds royalties from 4.50% to 8.00% based on the then current price of uranium; (vi) employment opportunities and job-skills training for the members of the Cebolleta Land Grant and (vii) funding of annual higher education scholarships for the members of the Cebolleta Land Grant. The Cebolleta Lease provides Cibola with the right to explore for, mine, and process uranium deposits present on the Cebolleta Project. In February 2012, Cibola entered into an Amendment of its Mining Lease Agreement (the “Cebolleta Lease Amendment”) amending the Cebolleta Lease, subject to approval of the Thirteenth Judicial District. Pursuant to the Cebolleta Lease Amendment, the date for the completion of the feasibility study was extended from April 2013 to April 2015. In addition, the date may be further extended subject to a reduction in the $6.5 million initial payment and annual advance royalty payments deduction to the recoverable reserve payment. Juan Tafoya Project In connection with the merger with Neutron we acquired the fee interest in 4,097 acres in northwestern New Mexico of fee (deeded) surface and mineral rights owned by the Juan Tafoya Land Corporation (“JTLC”). The Juan Tafoya Project is located approximately 45 miles west-northwest of the city of Albuquerque, and 25 miles northeast of the town of Laguna. The lease has a term of ten years, and it can be extended on a year-to-year basis thereafter, so long as we are conducting operations on the property. Additionally, the lease required: (i) an initial payment of $1.25 million; (ii) annual rental payments of $0.2 million for the first five years of the lease and $0.3 million for the second five years; (iii) after the second five years, annual base rent of $75 per acre; (iv) a gross proceeds royalty of 4.65% to 6.5% based on the then current price of uranium; (v) employment opportunities and job-skills training programs for shareholders of the JTLC or its heirs, (vi) periodic contributions to a community projects fund if mineral production commences from the Juan Tafoya property and (vii) funding of a scholarship program for the shareholders of the JTLC or its heirs. The Company is obligated to make the first ten years’ annual rental payments notwithstanding the right to terminate the JT Lease at any time, unless (a) the market value of uranium drops below $25 per pound, (b) a government authority bans uranium mining on the Juan Tafoya property, or (c) the deposit is deemed uneconomical by an independent engineering firm. Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment The Company recorded the following impairment charges for 2015 and 2014 related to its uranium projects and processing facilities: For the years ended December 31, 2015 2014 Kingsville Dome project $ 160 $ 160 Alta Mesa Este project 800 - Total Impairment $ 960 $ 160 The Company’s recorded impairment charge for 2015 and 2014 of $0.2 million on its Kingsville Dome project was due to the physical deterioration of its processing plant equipment resulting from the plant’s idled status and its proximity to the Texas coastline. The net carrying value of the Kingsville Dome plant equipment after impairment is $0.2 million which is calculated as $2.2 million book value less a $2.0 million liability related to dismantling and decontaminating. The Company also used a third-party estimate of resale value to determine that no further impairment was needed as the Company’s third-party estimate of resale value exceeded the $0.2 million net carrying value of the Kingsville Dome plant equipment. The Company’s recorded impairment charge for 2015 of $0.8 million on its Alta Mesa Este project was the result of URI’s Board of Directors and management determining that recent exploration results indicated that the Alta Mesa Este Project should be terminated. As a result, the carrying value of the Alta Mesa Este Project was written down to nil. Mineral Property Expenses During the years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s mineral property expenses were $4.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Included within mineral property costs are standby costs for our three idled South Texas ISR projects along with holding and evaluation costs for all properties. The Company spent the following amounts for each of its material properties: For the years ended December 31, 2015 2014 (thousands of dollars) Temrezli project, Turkey $ 407 $ - Total Turkey projects 407 - Kingsville Dome project, Texas 812 862 Rosita project, Texas 711 817 Vasquez project, Texas 510 518 Butler Ranch project, Texas 443 32 Other projects, Texas 553 12 Total Texas projects 3,029 2,241 Crownpoint project, New Mexico 5 5 Churchrock project, New Mexico 21 109 Cebolleta project, New Mexico 537 571 Juan Tafoya project, New Mexico 384 413 Other projects, New Mexico 87 163 Total New Mexico projects 1,034 1,261 Total expense for the period $ 4,470 $ 3,502

Assets Held for Sale	5. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE On November 9, 2015, we entered into a letter of intent with Laramide Resources for the sale of our Churchrock and Crownpoint properties in New Mexico. Under the terms of the letter of intent, URI and certain of our subsidiaries have agreed, subject to the execution of definitive documentation, to transfer ownership of the Churchrock and Crownpoint properties to Laramide Resources or its subsidiaries. Laramide Resources will assume any liabilities related to reclamation and remediation on the subject lands. Definitive documentation on the terms above is expected to be executed in the first quarter of 2016 with closing of the transaction expected to occur during the first half of 2016, subject to customary conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals. As a result, the assets and liabilities associated with the Churchrock and Crownpoint projects have been classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, for comparative purposes. As the Company recently acquired a portion of the Churchrock project from Energy Fuels Inc, and recorded the assets at a fair value of $2.1 million, no further fair value adjustment was necessary. The remaining Churchrock project mineral rights and the Crownpoint project mineral rights assets were previously impaired and the carrying value is nil.

Convertible Loan, Related Party	6. CONVERTIBLE LOAN, RELATED PARTY On November 13, 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “RCF Loan”) with Resource Capital Fund V L.P. (“RCF”), whereby RCF agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the RCF Loan, to provide a secured convertible loan facility of up to $15.0 million to the Company, which was subsequently amended on April 29, 2014 to reduce the amount available thereunder from $15.0 million to $8.0 million, which has been fully drawn. Amounts drawn under the RCF Loan mature on December 31, 2016 and bear interest at 10% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears in shares of the Company’s common stock or, at RCF’s election, in cash. The number of shares to be issued as payment for interest is determined based upon the VWAP of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days preceding the last day of each quarter. Accordingly, the Company issued the following shares during 2015 related to interest expense: Amount Shares of common stock issued VWAP Date of issuance (thousands of dollars, except share data) Q4 2014 Interest payment $ 199 8,576 $ 23.3208 January 2, 2015 Q1 2015 Interest payment 181 11,371 $ 17.5872 April 1, 2015 Q2 2015 Interest payment 161 14,159 $ 14.1252 July 2, 2015 Q3 2015 Interest payment 181 18,755 $ 10.6632 October 1, 2015 Total $ 722 52,861 As of December 31, 2015, interest expense of $0.2 million relating to the three months ended December 31, 2015 was included in accrued liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s obligations under the RCF Loan are secured by pledges on the equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries and a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the amounts drawn under the RCF Loan without penalty, subject to a minimum prepayment amount of $5.0 million or (if lower) the full amount then outstanding. Prepaid amounts may not be redrawn. The loan agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default and grants RCF the right to nominate two nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors so long as any obligations remain outstanding under the RCF Loan. RCF may convert amounts drawn under the RCF Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to maturity on December 31, 2016. The conversion price was initially set at $31.20 per share and was subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and further downward adjustment, subject to a floor of $12.00 per share, in the case of certain equity issuances by the Company before November 13, 2014. Prior to the expiration of an anti-dilution clause in 2014, the conversion feature was considered to be an embedded derivative. The initial fair value measurement of the derivative liability as determined on the date of each advance was previously recognized as a debt discount and is amortized over the life of the RCF Loan. The following table represents the key components of the RCF Loan: December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 (thousands of dollars) Debt principal $ 8,000 $ 8,000 Unamortized discount (1,846 ) (3,655 ) Carrying value of convertible loan, end of period $ 6,154 $ 4,345 For the periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount of $1.8 million and $1.6 million, which has been included in interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of March 18, 2016, RCF owned approximately 0.7 million shares or 13.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. If RCF were to convert the entire $8.0 million outstanding under the Loan Agreement, RCF would receive 256,410 shares of the Company’s common stock, and RCF’s ownership percentage in the Company would increase to approximately 18.0%.

These listed options trade on the Australian Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol URIO and entitle each holder to convert their option into a share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $24.96 on or before the expiry date of June 15, 2017. The Company calculated the fair value of the listed options using the Black-Scholes method using the following assumptions: Expected volatility 90 % Risk-free interest rate 0.87 % Expected life (years) 1.60 Dividend yield N/A

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	10. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION Stock-based compensation awards consist of stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and bonus shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive plans which include: the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”); the 2007 Restricted Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”); the Amended and Restated 2004 Directors’ Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2004 Directors’ Plan”); and the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”). Upon approval of the 2013 Plan by the Company’s stockholders on June 4, 2013, the Company’s authority to grant new awards under all plans other than the 2013 Plan was terminated. Under the 2013 Plan, the Company may grant awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, performance shares and other performance-based awards, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards to eligible persons. The maximum number of the Company’s common stock that may be reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan is 1,000,000 shares of common stock, plus unissued shares under the prior plans. Equity awards under the 2013 Plan are granted from time to time at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”), with vesting periods and other terms as determined by the Committee with a maximum term of 10 years. The 2013 Plan is administered by the Committee, which can delegate the administration to the Board, other Committees or to such other officers and employees of the Company as designated by the Committee. As of December 31, 2015, 44,593 shares of common stock were available for future issuances under the 2013 Plan. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded stock-based compensation cost of $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, which has been included in general and administrative expense. In addition, upon completion of the Anatolia Transaction, the Company issued 374,749 replacement options and performance shares to the option holders and performance share holders of Anatolia Energy. The number of replacement options and performance shares was based upon the Black-Scholes value with the exercise prices of the replacement options and performance shares determined using the exchange rate of 0.00548. The options and performance shares were issued with the same terms and conditions as were applicable prior to the Anatolia Transaction. Bonus Shares In March 2015, in accordance with the Company’s 2013 Plan, the Company awarded its executives bonuses that were paid out in common stock of the Company. The bonus shares were valued using the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The bonus shares vested immediately and had a grant date fair value of $0.3 million. Stock Options The following table summarizes stock options outstanding and changes during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014: December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Number of Stock Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Number of Stock Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Stock options outstanding at beginning of period 13,388 $ 302.16 25,781 $ 237.00 Granted 314,086 14.21 - - Expired (1,075 ) 356.93 (11,227 ) 144.84 Canceled or forfeited - - (1,166 ) 375.72 Stock options outstanding at end of period 326,399 $ 24.89 13,388 $ 302.16 Stock options exercisable at end of period 316,005 $ 25.16 9,611 $ 405.72 The following table summarizes stock options outstanding and exercisable by stock option plan at December 31, 2015: Outstanding Stock Options Exercisable Stock Options Stock Option Plan Number of Stock Options Outstanding Weighted Average Exercise Price Number of Stock Options Exercisable Weighted Average Exercise Price 2004 Plan 5,790 $ 121.20 4,263 $ 152.89 2004 Directors’ Plan 6,107 482.34 5,899 497.57 2013 Plan 416 35.88 208 35.88 Replacement Stock Options 314,086 14.21 305,635 14.26 326,399 $ 24.89 316,005 $ 25.16 The fair value of the replacement options granted upon completion of the Anatolia Transaction was estimated as of November 9, 2015 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: Expected volatility 90% - 100 % Risk-free interest rate 0.51% - 1.72 % Expected life (years) 0.89 - 4.20 Dividend yield N/A Stock Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Expected price volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The expected term of the options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for the periods within the contractual term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Total estimated unrecognized compensation cost from unvested stock options as of December 31, 2015 was $27,508, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.53 years. Restricted Stock Units Time-based and performance-based RSUs are valued using the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The final number of shares issued under performance-based RSUs is generally based on the Company’s prior year performance as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at each vesting date, and the valuation of such awards assumes full satisfaction of all performance criteria. The following table summarizes RSU activity for the years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014: December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Number of RSUs Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Number of RSUs Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested RSUs at beginning of period 45,397 $ 34.12 23,329 $ 39.69 Granted - - 35,989 31.36 Forfeited (1,667 ) 32.20 (2,480 ) 40.54 Vested (11,024 ) 34.04 (11,441 ) 35.38 Unvested RSUs at end of period 32,706 $ 34.25 45,397 $ 34.12 Total estimated unrecognized compensation cost from unvested RSUs as of December 31, 2015 was approximately $0.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.47 years. Restricted Stock Awards Time-based and performance-based RSAs are valued using the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Vesting based on performance criteria is generally based on the Company’s performance as determined by the Compensation Committee at each vesting date, and the valuation of such grants assumes full satisfaction of all performance criteria. Employee participants who receive restricted stock awards have all of the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote shares of restricted stock that are the subject of the grant and the right to receive any regular cash dividends paid out of current earnings.

Performance Shares The Company issued 58,286 replacement performance shares upon completion of the Anatolia Transaction. These performance shares entitle each holder to convert their performance share into a share of the Company’s common stock upon the Company declaring a mineral resource estimate for the Temrezli project of at least 15.0 million lbs. As the Company does not anticipate this performance condition will be met prior to the February 10, 2016 expiry date, the Company did not recognize the fair value of these performance shares.

Federal Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Federal Income Taxes	11. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Company recognizes future tax assets and liabilities for each tax jurisdiction based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes are paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is provided against net future tax assets for which the Company does consider the realization of such assets to meet the required “more likely than not” standard. The Company’s future tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2015 and 2014 include the following components: December 31, 2015 2014 Deferred tax assets: Non-Current: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 80,491 $ 71,882 Mineral properties 13,970 11,375 Capital loss carryforwards 618 Restoration reserves 1,478 1,360 Capitalized transaction costs 1,145 - Other 946 199 Deferred tax assets 98,648 84,816 Valuation allowance (96,203 ) (82,435 ) Net deferred tax assets 2,445 2,381 Deferred tax liabilities: Current: Prepaids and other 68 100 68 100 Non-Current: Derivatives (956 ) (956 ) Property, plant and equipment (1,557 ) (1,525 ) (2,513 ) (2,481 ) Deferred tax liabilities (2,445 ) (2,381 ) Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ — $ — The composition of our valuation allowance by tax jurisdiction is summarized as follows: December 31, 2015 2014 United States $ 87,304 $ 82,435 Australia 11,066 $ - Turkey (2,167 ) $ - Total valuation allowance $ 96,203 $ 82,435 The valuation allowance increased $13.8 million from the year ended December 31, 2014 to the year ended December 31, 2015. This was the result of an increase in the net deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), differences between the fair value amounts recorded for the Anatolia Transaction and the carryover tax basis, equity based compensation, and exploration spending on mineral properties. Because we are unable to determine whether it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized, we continue to record a 100% valuation against the net deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2015, we had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $219.2 million, which expire from 2018 to 2035. This included approximately $32.8 million in net operating loss carryforwards associated with the Neutron merger. In addition, at December 31, 2015 we had Australian net operating loss carryforwards associated with the Anatolia Transaction of approximately $13.3 million, which are available indefinitely, subject to continuing to meet relevant statutory tests, and net operating loss carryforwards in Turkey of approximately $1.2 million, which expire from 2016 to 2019. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code could apply and limit our ability to utilize a portion of the U.S. net operating loss carryforwards. Following the issuance of the Company’s Common Stock in 2001, the Neutron merger in 2012 and the Anatolia Transaction in 2015, the ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards will be severely limited on an annual and aggregate basis. A formal Section 382 study has not been completed, therefore the actual usage of US net operating loss carryforwards has not been determined. Similar limitations apply to the state net operating loss carryforwards related to the Neutron acquisition. For financial reporting purposes, loss from operations before income taxes consists of the following components: For the calendar year ended December 31, 2015 2014 United States $ (14,858 ) $ (10,684 ) Australia (76 ) - Turkey (209 ) - $ (15,143 ) $ (10,684 ) A reconciliation of expected income tax on net income at statutory rates is as follows: Year ended December 31, 2015 2014 Net loss $ (15,143 ) $ (10,684 ) Statutory tax rate 34 % 34 % Tax recovery at statutory rate (5,149 ) (3,633 ) Foreign tax rate (33 ) — Mineral property adjustments (2,394 ) 1,975 Foreign deferred costs and other adjustments (800 ) 12 Operating loss carryforward adjustment (5,488 ) (2,251 ) Nondeductible write-offs 96 6 Change in valuation allowance 13,768 3,891 Income tax expense (recovery) $ — $ — We do not have any uncertain tax positions. Should we incur interest and penalties relating to tax uncertainties, such amounts would be classified as a component of the interest expense and operating expense, respectively. Uranium Resources, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, files in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Anatolia Energy Limited and Anatolia Uranium Pty Ltd file in the Australian jurisdiction and Adur Madencilik files in the Turkish jurisdiction. The years still open for U.S. audit are generally the current year plus the previous three. However, because we have NOLs carrying forward, certain items attributable to closed tax years are still subject to adjustment by applicable taxing authorities through an adjustment to tax losses carried forward to open years.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Environmental Considerations The Company’s uranium recovery operations are subject to federal and state regulations for the protection of the environment, including water quality. These laws are constantly changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The ongoing costs of complying with such regulations have not been significant to the Company’s annual operating costs. Future closure and reclamation costs are provided for as each pound of uranium is produced on a unit-of-production basis. The Company reviews its reclamation obligations each year and determines the appropriate unit charge. The Company also evaluates the status of current environmental laws and their potential impact on their accrual for costs. The Company believes its operations are in compliance with current environmental regulations. Sales Contracts In March 2006, the Company first amended its sales contracts with Itochu Corporation (“Itochu”) and UG U.S.A.,Inc. (“UG”) that superseded the previously existing contracts. Each contract provides for delivery of one- half of our actual production from our properties in Texas currently owned or hereafter acquired by the Company (excluding two specifically identified large ranch properties in South Texas). Uranium deliveries from the inception of the contracts through December 31, 2015 have totaled approximately 510,000 pounds to Itochu and 480,000 pounds to UG. In July 2013, the Company amended its uranium supply contract with Itochu to include a new sales pricing structure, new delivery dates and quantity levels. Pursuant to the amended agreement, Itochu would purchase one-half of all production from the Company’s Vasquez, Rosita or Kingsville properties up to three million pounds of U3O8. Any new production outside of Texas is not subject to the agreement. The purchase price will be based on published market prices at the time of delivery subject to a five percent discount when the market price is $56.50 per pound of U3O8 or less, or seven percent when greater than $56.50 per pound.Under the UG contract all production from our Texas properties will be sold at a price equal to the month-end long-term contract price for the second month prior to the month of delivery less $6 per pound until (i) 600,000 pounds have been sold in a particular delivery year and (ii) an aggregate of 3 million pounds of uranium has been sold. After the 600,000 pounds in any year and 3 million pounds total have been sold, UG will have a right of first refusal to purchase other Texas production at a price equal to the average spot price for a period prior to the date of delivery less 4%.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transaction	13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION On August 11, 2015, the Company entered into a Management Support Agreement (“MSA”) with RCF Management L.L.C., a related company of RCF (“RCFM”), whereby RCFM and the Company agreed that it would be beneficial for RCFM to utilize its experience and knowledge in mining and management to assist the Company with the development of the Temrezli project. Under the terms of the agreement, RCFM will provide guidance to the Company on the development of the Temrezli project, from time to time, as the Company requires. As consideration, the Company will compensate RCFM for the services rendered under the MSA with three payments of $0.5 million, each due upon completion of the following milestones: ● Completion of the Anatolia Transaction; ● Completion of a Board of Directors approved study suitable to initiate construction on the Temrezli project; and ● Completion of project financing for the Temrezli project. The payments to RCFM will be made in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s discretion. The number of shares of common stock to be issued will be calculated by dividing the payment amount by 90% of the average of the VWAP during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable milestone achievement date. On November 11, 2015, as a result of the completion of the Anatolia Transaction, and in accordance with the MSA, the Company issued 58,865 shares of common stock to RCFM. The fair market value of these shares on the date of issuance was $0.6 million which was based on the closing price on the date of issuance of $9.48.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT Registered Direct Offering On February 3, 2016, URI and Aspire Capital entered into a stock purchase agreement whereby URI sold 296,666 shares of its common stock in a registered direct offering for gross and net proceeds of $0.8 million. There were no underwriting discounts or placement agent fees. Option Agreement with Aspire Capital On February 3, 2016, URI and Aspire Capital, entered into an option agreement by which Aspire Capital granted us the right at any time or times prior to April 30, 2017 to require Aspire Capital to enter into up to two common stock purchase agreements, each having a term of up to 24 months and collectively requiring Aspire Capital to purchase up to $10 million in the aggregate of our common stock (or such lesser amount as we may determine) on an ongoing basis when required by URI. As consideration for Aspire Capital entering into the option agreement, we issued 75,000 shares of our common stock to Aspire Capital. Special Meeting of Stockholders URI held a special meeting of stockholders at which our stockholders approved an amendment to the our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock by a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-20, such ratio to be determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors at any time on or before July 31, 2016. URI also received stockholder approval for a reduction in the number of authorized shares of our common stock if the reverse stock split is implemented. The special meeting, as previously adjourned, was held on February 11, 2016.

Summary of Significant Accoun22

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and include the accounts of URI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“US GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in the preparation of the financial statements are related to asset retirement obligations; stock-based compensation; derivative liabilities and asset impairment, including estimates used to derive future cash flows or market value associated with those assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. We maintain cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. We monitor the soundness of the financial institution and believe the risk is negligible.
Available-for-Sale Investments	Available-for-Sale Investments We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluate such determinations each reporting date. Marketable equity securities are categorized as available-for-sale and carried at fair market value on the Balance Sheet. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, unless an other-than-temporary impairment in value has occurred in which case the unrealized loss would be charged to current period loss as an impairment charge. Unrealized gains and losses originally included in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to current period net loss when the sale of securities occurs or when a security is impaired.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Facilities and Equipment Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost. The facilities and equipment are amortized using the units of production method. During the periods that our facilities are not in production, depreciation of our facilities and equipment is suspended as the assets are not in service. Uranium Properties Mineral rights acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred, and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When we determine that a mineral right can be economically developed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the costs then incurred to develop such property will be capitalized. During the periods that our facilities are not in production, depletion of our mineral interests, permits, licenses and development properties is suspended as the assets are not in service. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any undepleted costs will be charged to loss in that period. Other Property, Plant and Equipment Other property, plant and equipment consists of corporate office equipment, furniture and fixtures and transportation equipment. Depreciation on other property is computed based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Gain or loss on disposal of such assets is recorded as other income or expense as such assets are disposed.
Asset Impairment	Asset Impairment The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows or upon an estimate of fair value that may be received in an exchange transaction. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected uranium prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital, based upon the projected remaining future uranium production from each project. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization that is not part of the measured, indicated or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of uranium that will be obtained after taking into account losses during processing and treatment. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is likely that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, uranium prices, production levels and operating costs of production and availability and cost of capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
Assets Held for Sale	Assets held for sale The Company considers assets to be held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market the assets for sale at a price reasonable in relation to fair value, the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sale have been initiated, the sale of the asset is expected to be completed within one year and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan. Upon designation as held for sale, the Company records the carrying value of the assets at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less costs to sell.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had pledged certificates of deposit and money market accounts of $4.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, in order to collateralize performance bonds required for future restoration and reclamation obligations related to our South Texas production properties. These funds are not readily available to the Company and are not included in cash equivalents.
Asset Retirement Obligations	Asset Retirement Obligations Various federal and state mining laws and regulations require the Company to reclaim the surface areas and restore underground water quality for its ISR projects to the pre-existing or background average quality after the completion of mining. Asset retirement obligations, consisting primarily of estimated restoration and reclamation costs at the Company’s South Texas ISR projects, are recognized in the period incurred and recorded as liabilities at fair value. Such obligations, which are initially estimated based on discounted cash flow estimates, are accreted to full value over time through charges to accretion expense. In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying value and amortized over the life of the related asset. If the Company does not have a recorded value for the related asset, then the asset retirement cost is expensed as incurred. Asset retirement obligations are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from revisions to the estimated timing or amount of restoration and reclamation costs. As the Company completes its restoration and reclamation work at its properties, the liability is reduced by the carrying value of the related asset retirement liability which is based upon the percentage of completion of each restoration and reclamation activity. Any gain or loss upon settlement is charged to income or expense and is included as part of the Company’s mineral property expense for the period. The Company reviews and evaluates its asset retirement obligations annually or more frequently at interim periods if deemed necessary.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, restricted cash and derivative liabilities. U.S. GAAP defines “fair value” as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be 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): ● Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. ● Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. ● Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair-value measurement and unobservable. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. Periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various U.S. operating accounts in excess of U.S. federally insured limits. The following table presents information about financial instruments recognized at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and indicates the fair value hierarchy: December 31, 2015 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Short-term available-for-sale investments $ 226 $ - $ - $ 226 Restricted cash 4,026 - - 4,026 Total assets recorded at fair value $ 4,252 $ - $ - $ 4,252 December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Restricted cash $ 3,941 $ - $ - $ 3,941 Total assets recorded at fair value $ 3,941 $ - $ - $ 3,941
Loss Per Share	Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is not presented as the effect on the basic loss per share would be anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had 1,126,543 and 315,195 in potentially dilutive securities, respectively.
Foreign Currency	Foreign Currency The functional currency for the companies recently acquired in the Anatolia Transaction was determined to be the U.S. dollar upon completion of the acquisition since our newly acquired foreign subsidiaries are direct and integral components of URI and are dependent upon the economic environment of URI’s functional currency. Accordingly, we have translated our monetary assets and liabilities at the period-end exchange rate and the non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical rates, with income and expenses translated at the average exchange rate for the current period. All translation gains and losses have been included in the current period loss.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (ASU 2014-15), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. 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. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt this guidance and do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements. We are still assessing the impact on the related disclosures. In September 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust the financial statements for measurement-period adjustments that occur in periods after a business combination is consummated. These changes become effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015. The Company is still assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
