Result of General Meeting

Uranium Resources announces that at the General Meeting held today, all resolutions were passed. Accordingly, further to the announcement on 4 December 2017, the disposal of the Mtonya Project to the Company's majority shareholder, Estes Limited, has now completed.

In addition, the Share Capital Reorganisation is now approved. As such, each Existing Ordinary Share held by Shareholders on the record date (4.30 p.m. on 20 December 2017) will be sub-divided into one ordinary share of 0.01p each and one Deferred Share of 0.09p each. The ordinary shares will then be consolidated on a 1 for 15 basis into New Ordinary Shares of 0.15p each.

Furthermore 7,777,778 New Ordinary Shares and 200,000,000 New Ordinary Shares have been issued pursuant to the Director Capitalisations and the Placing respectively.

Application has been made to AIM for the admission to trading of 267,566,611 New Ordinary Shares of 0.15p each, being the Enlarged Share Capital, which is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 21 December 2017 ("Admission"). Following Admission, the Company will have 267,566,611 ordinary shares in issue.
