                                 Proxy Statement
                                       for
                         Annual Meeting of Shareholders

                            To Be Held June 11, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Unless the context requires otherwise,  references in this statement to "Uranerz
Energy," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our" refer to Uranerz Energy Corporation.

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Uranerz Energy (the "Annual Meeting") will
be held on  Wednesday,  June 11, 2008,  at the C'mon Inn, 301 East Lathrop Road,
Evansville, Wyoming, 82636 USA, beginning at 10:30 a.m. local time.

We are  providing the enclosed  proxy  materials and form of proxy in connection
with the  solicitation  by the  Company's  Board of Directors  (the  "Board") of
proxies  for this  Annual  Meeting.  The  Company  anticipates  that this  Proxy
Statement and the form of proxy will first be mailed to holders of the Company's
Stock on or about May 9, 2008.

You are invited to attend the meeting at the above stated time and location.  If
you plan to attend and your  shares  are held in  "street  name" - in an account
with a bank,  broker,  or other nominee - you must obtain a proxy issued in your
name from such broker, bank or other nominee.

You can vote your shares by  completing  and returning the proxy card or, if you
hold shares in "street  name," by  completing  the voting  form  provided by the
broker, bank or other nominee.

A RETURNED SIGNED PROXY CARD WITHOUT AN INDICATION OF HOW SHARES SHOULD BE VOTED
WILL BE VOTED FOR THE ELECTION OF ALL  DIRECTORS,  FOR THE  RATIFICATION  OF THE
ARTICLES AMENDMENT, FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE STOCK OPTION PLAN AMENDMENT, AND
FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT  REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.

Our  corporate  bylaws define a quorum as a one-third of the voting power of the
issued and outstanding voting stock present in person or by proxy. The Company's
Articles of  Incorporation  do not allow  cumulative  voting for Directors.  The
nominees who receive the most votes will be elected.  An  affirmative  vote of a
simple  majority  of the  shares  present,  whether  in person  or by proxy,  is
required to ratify the Stock Option Plan  Amendment and the  appointment  of the
Company's independent  registered public accounting firm. An affirmative vote of
a majority of the Company's issued and outstanding voting securities is required
to ratify the Articles Amendment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


             QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND PROXY CARD?

You are  receiving  this  Proxy  Statement  and proxy  card  because  you were a
stockholder  of record at the close of business April 28, 2008, and are entitled
to vote at the Annual Meeting.  This Proxy Statement  describes  issues on which
the Company would like you, as a stockholder,  to vote. It provides  information
on these  issues so that you can make an informed  decision.  You do not need to
attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares.

When you sign the proxy card you appoint  Glenn  Catchpole,  President and Chief
Executive Officer to the Company, and Dennis Higgs, Chairman of the Board to the
Company,  your  representatives at the Annual Meeting. As your  representatives,
they  will vote  your  shares at the  Annual  Meeting  (or any  adjournments  or
postponements)  as you have  instructed  them on your  proxy  card.  With  proxy
voting,  your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting.
Even if you plan to attend the Annual  Meeting,  it is a good idea to  complete,
sign and return your proxy card in advance of the Annual  Meeting,  just in case
your plans change.

If an issue  comes up for vote at the Annual  Meeting  (or any  adjournments  or
postponements)   that  is  not   described   in  this  Proxy   Statement,   your
representatives  will vote your shares,  under your proxy, at their  discretion,
subject to any limitations imposed by law.

WHEN IS THE RECORD DATE?

The Board has fixed April 28,  2008 as the record  date for the Annual  Meeting.
Only holders of Uranerz  Energy voting stock as of the close of business on that
date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

HOW MANY SHARES ARE OUTSTANDING?

As of April 28, 2008, the Company had [number] shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding.

WHAT AM I VOTING ON?

You are being asked to vote on the following:

     o    The election of eight eight (8) directors for terms expiring in 2009;

     o    The ratification of the Articles Amendment;

     o    The ratification of the Stock Option Plan Amendment;

     o    The  ratification  of the  appointment  of the  Company's  independent
          registered public accounting firm; and

     o    Any other business that may properly come before the meeting.

HOW MAY VOTES DO I GET?

Each share of Common  Stock is entitled to one vote.  No  cumulative  rights are
authorized,  and  dissenters'  rights are not  applicable  to any of the matters
being voted upon.

The Board  recommends  a vote FOR each of the  nominees  to the  Board,  FOR the
ratification of the Articles Amendment, FOR the ratification of the Stock Option
Plan  Amendment,  and FOR the  ratification  of the appointment of the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm.


                                       3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW DO I VOTE?

You have several voting options.  You may vote by:

     o    Signing  your proxy card and mailing it in the  enclosed,  prepaid and
          adressed envelope;

     o    Signing  and faxing  your proxy card to our  transfer  agent for proxy
          voting at the number provided on the proxy card;

     o    Voting over the Internet by following the  procedures  provided on the
          proxy card; or

     o    Attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

If your shares are held in an account with a brokerage firm,  bank,  dealer,  or
other similar organization,  then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in
a "street  name" and these proxy  materials  are being  forwarded to you by that
organization.   The   organization   holding  your  account  is  considered  the
stockholder  of  record  for  purposes  of voting at the  Annual  Meeting.  As a
beneficial  owner,  you have the  right to  direct  your  broker,  bank or other
nominee  on how to vote the  shares in your  account.  You are also  invited  to
attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record,
you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual  Meeting unless you request
and obtain a valid proxy card from your broker, bank, or other nominee.

CAN STOCKHOLDERS VOTE IN PERSON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

The  Company  will pass out  written  ballots to anyone who wants to vote at the
Annual Meeting.  If you hold your shares through a brokerage  account but do not
have a physical  share  certificate,  or the shares  are  registered  in someone
else's  name,  you must  request  a legal  proxy  from your  stockbroker  or the
registered owner to vote at the meeting.


WHAT IF I SHARE AN ADDRESS WITH  ANOTHER  SHAREHOLDER  AND WE RECEIVED  ONLY ONE
COPY OF THE PROXY MATERIALS?

If certain requirements are met under relevant U.S. securities law, including in
some circumstances, the shareholder's prior written consent, we are permitted to
deliver one annual report and one proxy statement to a group of shareholders who
share the same  address.  If you share an address with another  shareholder  and
have received  only one copy of the proxy  materials,  but desire  another copy,
please send  written  request to our offices at the address  below or call us at
(604) 689-1659 to request another copy of the proxy materials.  Please note that
each  shareholder  should  receive a separate proxy card to vote the shares they
own.

                                             Secretary



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND AFTER I RETURN MY PROXY?

You may  revoke  your proxy and  change  your vote at any time  before the polls
close at the Annual Meeting. You may do this by:

     o    Signing  another  proxy  with  a  later  date  and  mailing  it to the
          attention of: Jason K. Brenkert,  Inspector of Elections,  at 370 17th
          Street, Suite 4700, Denver, Colorado, 80237, so long as it is received
          prior to 12:00 p.m., MST, on June 10, 2008;

     o    Voting in person at the Annual Meeting; or

     o    Giving written notice of the revocation of your proxy to the Company's
          Secretary,  Sonya Reiss,  at the address  given above,  prior to 12:00
          p.m., PST on June 10, 2008.


HOW MANY VOTES DO YOU NEED TO HOLD THE MEETING?

To conduct the Annual Meeting,  the Company must have a quorum, which means that
one-third of the outstanding  voting shares of the Company as of the record date
must be present at the  meeting.  Your  shares will be counted as present at the
Annual Meeting if you:

     o    Submit a properly  executed  proxy  card  (even if you do not  provide
          voting instructions); or

     o    Attend  the  Annual  Meeting  and vote in  person.  Attend  the Annual
          Meeting and vote in person.


WHAT IF I ABSTAIN FROM VOTING?

Abstentions  with  respect  to a  proposal  are  counted  for  the  purposes  of
establishing a quorum. If a quorum is present,  abstentions will not be included
in vote  totals  and will not affect  the  outcome  of the vote of any  proposal
contained in this year's Proxy Statement.


HOW MANY VOTES ARE NEEDED TO ELECT DIRECTORS?

The nominees for election as directors at the Annual  Meeting will be elected by
a plurality of the votes cast at the  meeting.  A properly  executed  proxy card
marked  WITHHELD with respect to the election of directors will not be voted and
will not count FOR or AGAINST any of the nominees.


HOW MANY VOTES ARE NEEDED TO RATIFY THE ARTICLES AMENDMENT?

The ratification of the Articles Amendment will be approved if a majority of the
Company's  issued  and  outstanding  voting  securities  vote  FOR the  Articles
Amendment.  A properly  executed  proxy card marked ABSTAIN with respect to this
proposal will not be voted.  However,  because an affirmative vote of a majority
of the  Company's  issued and  outstanding  voting  securities  is required  for
ratification,  an  ABSTENTION  will have the same  effect as a vote  AGAINST the
proposal.


HOW MANY VOTES ARE NEEDED TO RATIFY THE STOCK OPTION PLAN AMENDMENT?

The  ratification  of the Stock  Option Plan  Amendment  will be approved if the
votes cast FOR the  proposal  exceed  the votes cast  AGAINST  the  proposal  (a
majority of shares voting).  A properly  executed proxy card marked ABSTAIN with
respect  to this  proposal  will not be voted and will not count FOR or  AGAINST
this proposal.


HOW  MANY  VOTES  ARE  NEEDED  TO  RATIFY  THE  APPOINTMENT  OF THE  INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT?

The  ratification  of the  appointment  of  the  independent  registered  public
accountant  will be approved if the votes cast FOR the proposal exceed the votes
cast AGAINST the  proposal (a majority of shares  voting).  A properly  executed
proxy card marked  ABSTAIN with respect to this  proposal  will not be voted and
will not count FOR or AGAINST this proposal.


                                       5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WILL MY SHARES BE VOTED IF I DO NOT SIGN AND RETURN MY PROXY CARD?


If your shares are held through a brokerage account,  your brokerage firm, under
certain circumstances, may vote your shares.

If your shares are  registered in your name, and you do not sign and return your
proxy card, your shares will not be voted at the meeting.


WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE MEETING?

The Company will publish the final results in the Company's  Quarterly Report on
Form  10-Q  for the  second  quarter  of  2008,  which  will be  filed  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (SEC).  Within four (4) business days of the
Annual  Meeting,  the  Company  will  file a  current  report on Form 8-K if the
shareholders  elect new directors,  ratify the Articles  Amendment and/or ratify
the Stock Option Plan Amendment.


WHO WILL PAY FOR THE COSTS OF SOLICITING PROXIES?

The Company will bear the cost of  soliciting  proxies.  In an effort to have as
large a  representation  at the meeting as possible,  the  Company's  directors,
officers and employees may solicit  proxies by telephone or in person in certain
circumstances.  These  individuals  will receive no additional  compensation for
their services other than their regular salaries.  Additionally, the Company may
hire a proxy  solicitor to help reach the quorum  requirement.  The Company will
pay a reasonable fee in relation to these  services.  Upon request,  the Company
will reimburse brokers,  dealers,  banks, voting trustees and their nominees who
are holders of record of the  Company's  Common Stock on the record date for the
reasonable  expenses  incurred for mailing copies of the proxy  materials to the
beneficial owners of such shares.


WHEN ARE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS DUE FOR THE 2008 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS?

In order to be considered  for inclusion in next year's (2009) proxy  statement,
stockholder  proposals must be submitted in writing to the Company's  Secretary,
Sonya Reiss, at Uranerz Energy  Corporation,  Suite 1410-800 West Pender Street,
Vancouver,  BC,  Canada V6C 2V6,  and  received  no later than  January 2, 2008.

statement and received after March 17, 2008 will be considered untimely pursuant
to Rule 14a-5(e)(2) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

HOW CAN I OBTAIN A COPY OF THE 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K?

the Death Valley  uranium  deposit on Alaska's  Seward  Peninsula.  This deposit
contains ten-million-pounds of uranium at a grade of .25% U3O8.

Mr. Joe Hebert is currently Vice President of Exploration for Miranda Gold Corp.
Most recently,  Mr. Hebert was the senior  exploration  geologist for the Cortez
Joint  Venture  (Placer  Dome and  Kennecott  Minerals)  located  on the


                                       14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Battle  Mountain  Trend  in  North  Central  Nevada.  He  was a  member  of  the
exploration team who discovered the 7.5 million ounce Cortez Hills gold deposit.
During his tenure at Cortez he directed all generative and  acquisition  efforts
within the joint venture area of interest.

From 1992 to 1999 Mr. Hebert  consulted for Uranerz USA, Inc. where he conducted
project  evaluations and generative  programs primarily in north central Nevada.
The  most  significant  result  of  this  program  was the  recognition  of gold
potential  and  acquisition  recommendations  of the  Nike-Converse  property in
Buffalo Valley where Uranerz  discovered  approximately 3 M oz of gold resource.
He  also  recommended  the  REN  property  for   acquisition,   where  currently
development drilling on a high-grade resource is being conducted.

During the period when he was  consulting,  Mr.  Hebert  initiated a countrywide
evaluation of Mongolia,  identifying  essentially  unexplored epithermal systems
from regional compilation and focused  reconnaissance.  He focused his client in
gold-belts  of NE  Mongolia,  acquiring  for them  two  large  concessions  with
multiple ore-grade showings in large epithermal and intrusive-related alteration
cells. This program required interaction with high-level  government  officials,
Mongolian junior companies,  Mongolian  Geological Survey and supervising native
crews in remote camps.

Mr. Hebert is credited with team  participation  in multiple gold discoveries in
Nevada  and Utah  over the  course  of his  career.  He has also had  staff  and
contract positions with several US majors over the years including Superior Oil,
Tenneco, and Freeport Minerals.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERTS

We have a standing audit committee and audit committee  charter,  which complies
with Rule 10A-3 and the  requirements of the American Stock Exchange.  Our audit
committee was  established  in accordance  with section 3 (a) of the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended.  Our audit  committee  is comprised of three
directors all of whom, in the opinion of the Company's  Board of Directors,  are
independent (in accordance with Rule 10A-3 and the  requirements of the American
Stock  Exchange):  Arnold Dyck,  Peter Bell and Richard Holmes.  Mr. Arnold Dyck
satisfies  the  requirement  of a  "financial  expert"  as  defined  under  Item
407(d)(5) of  Regulation  S-K and is, in the opinion of the  Company's  Board of
Directors,  "independent"  as that term is used in section  121B of the American

Act of 1934, as amended.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Company's Audit Committee oversees the Company's financial reporting process
on behalf of the Board of  Directors  (the  "Board").  The  Committee  has three
members,  each of whom is  "independent"  as determined  under Rule 10A-3 of the
United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  and the rules of the
American Stock Exchange.  The Committee operates under a written charter adopted
by the Board.

The Committee assists the Board by overseeing the (1) integrity of the Company's
financial  reporting and internal  control,  (2) independence and performance of
the Company's independent auditors,  (3) and provides an avenue of communication
between management, the independent auditors, and the Board.

In the course of providing  its  oversight  responsibilities  regarding the 2007
financial  statements,   the  Committee  reviewed  the  2007  audited  financial
statements,  which  appear  in the 2007  Annual  Report  to  Shareholders,  with
management  and the  Company's  independent  auditors.  The  Committee  reviewed
accounting  principles,  practices,  and  judgments  as well as the adequacy and
clarity of the notes to the financial statements.

The Committee  reviewed the  independence  and  performance  of the  independent
auditors who are  responsible  for  expressing  an opinion on the  conformity of
those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States,  and such other matters as required to be  communicated by
the independent  auditors in accordance with Statement on Auditing  Standards 61
(Codification  of  Statements  on Auditing  Standards,  AU 380),  as modified or
supplemented.

The Committee meets with the independent  auditors to discuss their audit plans,
scope and timing on a regular basis,  with or without  management  present.  The
Committee  has  received  the  written  disclosures  and  the  letter  from  the
independent  auditors required by Independence  Standards Board,  Standard No. 1
(Independence  Standards  Board Standard No. 1,  Independence  Discussions  with
Audit Committees), as may be modified or supplemented.

In  reliance on the reviews and  discussions  referred to above,  the  Committee
recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial
statements  be  included in the Annual  Report to the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2007. The Committee and
the  Board  have  also  recommended  the  selection  of  Manning  Elliot  LLP as
independent auditors for the Company for the year 2008.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

We have a Compensation  Committee  comprised of three  directors all of whom, in
the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors,  are independent (under section
121A of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide):  Peter Bell,  Arnold J. Dyck
and Paul Saxton. We have a Compensation Committee charter that complies with the
requirements  of the American  Stock  Exchange.  Our  Compensation  Committee is
responsible for considering and authorizing terms of employment and compensation
of executive  officers and providing  advice on  compensation  structures in the
various  jurisdictions in which we operate.  Our Chief Executive Officer may not
be present  during  the  voting  determination  or  deliberations  of his or her
compensation.  In addition,  our Compensation Committee reviews both our overall
salary objectives and significant  modifications made to employee benefit plans,
including those applicable to executive  officers,  and proposes awards of stock
options.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the  Compensation  Committee met
four (4) times. A copy of the Compensation Committee charter can be found on the
Company's website at www.uranerz.com.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE

We have a Corporate  Governance  and  Nominating  Committee  comprised  of three
directors all of whom, in the opinion of the Company's  Board of Directors,  are
independent  (under section 121A of the American Stock Exchange  Company Guide):
Richard  Holmes,  Peter Bell and Paul  Saxton.  We have a  Nominating  Committee
charter that complies with the requirements of the American Stock Exchange.  Our
Corporate  Governance  Committee is  responsible  for developing our approach to
corporate governance issues.

The Committee evaluates the qualifications of potential  candidates for director
and  recommends to the Board nominees for election at the next annual meeting or
any special meeting of  stockholders,  and any person to be considered to fill a
Board vacancy  resulting  from death,  disability,  removal,  resignation  or an
increase in Board size. The Committee has not set formal criteria  necessary for
the  consideration  of a candidate,  but the Committee does assess the nominee's
independence,  as well as considers his or her  experience,  areas of expertise,
diversity,  perspective,  broad  business  judgment and  leadership,  all in the
context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at that time.

Shareholder  nominees are subject to the same consideration as nominees selected
by the  Committee  or the Board.  The  Committee  does not have a set policy for
whether or how shareholders are to recommend  nominees for  consideration by the
Board.  No  shareholder  or  shareholders  holding  5% or more of the  Company's
outstanding stock,  either  individually or in aggregate,  recommended a nominee
for election to the Board.

All of the Nominees included on the proxy card accompanying this proxy statement
were nominated by the Corporate  Governance  and  Nominating  Committee and were
recommended by the Company's current board of directors.

During the fiscal year ended  December 31, 2007,  the Corporate  Governance  and
Nominating  Committee met two (2) times. A copy of the Corporate  Governance and
Nominating   Committee  charter  can  be  found  on  the  Company's  website  at
www.uranerz.com.

applicable laws, to ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations,  and to
provide  accountability  for adherence to the code. Our code of ethics  provides
written  standards  that are  reasonably  designed  to deter  wrongdoing  and to
promote:

     o    Honest and ethical  conduct,  including the ethical handling of actual
          or apparent  conflicts of interest  between  personal and professional
          relationships;

     o    Full, fair, accurate,  timely and understandable disclosure in reports
          and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and
          in other public communications made by an issuer;

     o    Compliance with applicable  governmental  laws, rules and regulations;

     o    The  prompt  internal  reporting  of  violations  of  the  code  to an
          appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and

of our principal  executive  officer,  principal  financial  officer,  principal
accounting  officer or controller or persons  performing  similar functions that
relates to any  element of our code of ethics on our  website.  No waivers  were
granted  from the  requirements  of our Code of  Ethics  during  the year  ended
December 31, 2007, or during the subsequent period from January 1, 2008, through
the date of this proxy statement.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Oversight of Executive Compensation Program

The  Compensation  Committee  of the Board of Directors  oversees the  Company's
compensation  programs,  which are designed  specifically for the Company's most
senior  executives  officers,  including  the  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Chief
Operating  Officer,  Chief Financial  Officer and the other  executive  officers
named in the Summary  Compensation  Table  (collectively,  the "senior executive
officers").  Additionally, the Compensation Committee is charged with the review
and approval of all annual  compensation  decisions relating to senior executive
officers.

The Compensation  Committee is composed entirely of independent,  non-management
members  of the Board of  Directors.  Each year,  and at such other  times as is
necessary,  the Company reviews any and all relationships that each director has
with the Company and the Board of Directors subsequently reviews these findings.
The Board of Directors has determined  that none of the  Compensation  Committee
members have any material business relationships with the Company.


The  responsibilities of the Compensation  Committee,  as stated in its charter,
include the following:

     o    Review and assess the adequacy of the Compensation  Committee  charter
          annually and submit any proposed changes to the Board of Directors for
          approval;

     o    Produce an annual report on senior executive officer  compensation for
          inclusion in the Company's annual report and proxy statement  relating
          to its annual meeting of stockholders;

     o    Review and make such  recommendations to the Board of Directors as the
          Compensation   Committee   deems   advisable   with   regard   to  all
          incentive-based compensation plans and equity- based plans;

     o    Review and  approve the  corporate  goals and  objectives  that may be
          relevant  to  the  compensation  of  the  Company's  senior  executive
          officers;

     o    Evaluate senior  executive  officer  performance in light of the goals
          and  objectives  that  were set and  determine  and  recommend  senior
          executive officer compensation based on such evaluation; and

     o    Review and approve the  recommendations of the chief executive officer
          with regard to the  compensation  of all officers of the Company other
          than the chief executive officer.


Overview of Compensation Program

In order to recruit and retain the most  qualified and competent  individuals as
senior  executive  officers,  the  Company  strives to  maintain a  compensation
program  that is  competitive  in the global  labor  market.  The purpose of the
Company's  compensation  program  is to reward  exceptional  organizational  and
individual performance.


The following compensation objectives are considered in setting the compensation
programs for our senior executive officers:

     o    Drive and reward performance which supports the Company's core values;


                                       23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     o    Design  competitive total compensation and rewards programs to enhance
          the  Company's  ability  to  attract  and  retain   knowledgeable  and
          experienced senior executive officers; and

     o    Set compensation and incentive levels that reflect  competitive market
          practices.


Compensation Elements and Rationale

To reward both short and long-term  performance in the compensation  program and
in  furtherance  of the  Company's  compensation  objectives  noted  above,  the
Company's compensation program is based on the following objectives:

     (i)  Performance Goals

The  Compensation  Committee  believes  that a  significant  portion of a senior
executive  officer's   compensation  should  be  tied  not  only  to  individual
performance,  but also to the Company's  performance as a whole measured against
both  financial and  non-financial  goals and  objectives.  During  periods when
performance  meets or exceeds these  established  objectives,  senior  executive
officers  should be paid at or more than  expected  levels.  When the  Company's
performance  does not meet key objectives,  incentive  award  payments,  if any,
should be less than such levels.

     (ii) Incentive Compensation

A large portion of  compensation  should be paid in the form of  short-term  and
long-term incentives, which are calculated and paid based primarily on financial
measures of  profitability  and  stockholder  value creation.  Senior  executive
officers have the incentive of increasing Company  profitability and stockholder
return in order to earn a major portion of their compensation package.

     (iii) Competitive Compensation Program

The  Compensation  Committee  reviews the  compensation  of  executives  at peer
companies to ensure that the  compensation  program is competitive.  The Company
believes  that a  competitive  compensation  program will enhance its ability to
attract and retain senior executive officers.


Review of Senior Executive Officer Performance

The  Compensation  Committee  reviews,  on an annual  basis,  each  compensation
package  for the  senior  executive  officers.  In each case,  the  Compensation
Committee  takes into account the scope of  responsibilities  and experience and
balances these against competitive salary levels. The Compensation Committee has
the  opportunity  to meet with the senior  executive  officers at various  times
during  the  year,  which  allows  the  Compensation  Committee  to form its own
assessment of each individual's performance.


Components of the Executive Compensation Program

The Compensation  Committee believes the total compensation and benefits program
for senior executive officers should consist of the following:

     o    Base salary; and
     o    Stock incentive plan.

Many  of the  Company's  senior  executive  officers  provide  services  through
consulting  or  management  agreements  with the  Company.  Fees are paid  under
"consulting"  or  "management"  fees  pursuant  to  these  agreements.  From the
Company's   perspective,   these  services  are  provided  in  this  manner  for
flexibility  considerations.  The Company has determined  that it is in the best
interests  of the  Company  and its  shareholders  to  maintain  consulting  and
management  agreements  rather than  employment  agreements  as it decreases the
number of actual  employees  of the Company and ensures that  employment  of key
officers can be negotiated on an as-needed  basis with  individualized


                                       24

terms--a  vital  concern to the Company  given the relative  costs of management
salaries and expenses in a development stage company.


Dennis Higgs, Chairman of the Board of Directors (and former President)

Mr. Higgs is compensated  indirectly through the Company's  consulting agreement
with Ubex  Capital  Inc.  The  Company  engaged  Ubex in early  2005 to  provide
business  development and strategic planning  consulting services and management
to create a viable  resource  company.  The Board of  Directors  considered  Mr.
Higgs'  continuing  involvement to be of vital interest to the Company's success
and increased Ubex's consulting  services over time to the point where Mr. Higgs
provides the Company services as a fully involved Executive Chairman.  The Board
upon recommendation from the Compensation  Committee has decided to continue the
consulting  arrangement  to minimize  administrative  costs and to maintain  the
certainty and flexibility of contractual arrangements. Mr. Higgs has over twenty
years  experience in establishing  and growing public companies and the Board of
Directors upon  recommendation  from the  Compensation  Committee has determined
that his compensation shall be similar to full time Executive Chairmen of public
companies with capitalization in the $200 - 500 million range.


Glenn Catchpole

Mr.  Catchpole  is  compensated  indirectly  through  the  Company's  consulting
agreement with Catchpole  Enterprises  LLC.  ("CE").  The Company  engaged CE in
early 2005 to provide  industry  expertise  and  strategic  planning  consulting
services and full-time executive management to create a viable resource company.
The Board of Directors and the Compensation  Committee considers Mr. Catchpole's
continuing  involvement  to be of vital  interest  to the  Company's  success as
President  and Chief  Executive  Officer.  The Board has chosen  the  consulting
arrangement to minimize  administrative  costs and to maintain the certainty and
flexibility of  contractual  arrangements.  Mr.  Catchpole has over thirty years
experience in the uranium  solution  mining  industry and the Board of Directors
upon  recommendation  from the  Compensation  Committee has determined  that his
compensation shall be similar to full time president and CEO of public companies
with capitalization in the $200 - 500 million range.


George Hartman

The  Company's  compensation  policy  for Mr.  Hartman  is based  on days  spent
consulting  for the  Company.  The  Board  of  Directors  and  the  Compensation
Committee  believes that this provides the Company with greater  flexibility  in
controlling expenses. Mr. Hartman's services as Executive Vice-President, Mining
entail  a  varying  degree  of  attention  to  the  Company's   exploration  and
development  activities.  Mr.  Hartman has  extensive  expertise  in the area of
mining production,  including  specifically,  in-situ recovery of uranium, which
expertise is very valuable to the Company. Mr. Hartman's salary exceeded that of
other  officers in 2006 and 2007  because of the value of his  expertise  to the
Company and the fact that he spent a substantial amount of time attending to the
Company's mineral projects in those years.


Benjamin Leboe

The Company's  compensation  policy for Mr. Leboe,  as Principal of  Independent
Management Consultants of British Columbia is based on time spent consulting for
the Company. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee believes that
this provides the Company with greater flexibility in controlling expenses.  Mr.
Leboe's services as Chief Financial Officer entail a high and specialized degree
of attention to the Company's financial management and reporting activities. Mr.
Leboe has extensive expertise in the area of financial  management,  accounting,
business valuation and management  consulting,  which expertise is very valuable
to the Company.  Mr. Leboe's  consulting rate is based on the Board of Directors
determination upon recommendation by the Compensation  Committee of the value of
his expertise to the Company and is  comparable  to a full time Chief  Financial
Officer of public companies with capitalization in the $200 - 500 million range.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

No person who served as a member of the  Compensation  Committee  during  fiscal
2007 was a current or former  officer or employee of the  Corporation or engaged
in certain transactions with the Company required to be disclosed by regulations
of the SEC.  Additionally,  there were no  compensation  committee  "interlocks"
during 2007, which generally means that no executive  officer of the Corporation
served as a director or member of the compensation  committee of another entity,
which had an executive  officer serving as a director or member of the Company's
Compensation Committee.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT


The Uranerz Energy Corporation Compensation Committee oversees the Company's
compensation reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. The
Committee has three members, each of whom is "independent" as defined in the
American Stock Exchange Company Guide. The Committee operates under a written
charter, revised and adopted by the Board.

The Committee assists the Board of Directors by overseeing the (1) annual review
of  director  and  executive  officer  compensation   policies  and  goals,  (2)
determining  the  compensation  of directors  and  executive  officers,  (3) and
providing accurate public disclosure of the Company's compensation.

In  the  course  of  providing  its  oversight  responsibilities  regarding  the
Company's  compensation  of  directors  and  executive  officers  in  2007,  the
Committee reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and
Analysis included in the Company's Annual Report.

Based on the Committee's review of the Compensation  Discussion and Analysis and
discussions  with the  Board of  Directors  and the  Company's  management,  the
Committee recommended that the Compensation  Discussion and Analysis be included
in the Company's Annual Report.

Submitted by the following members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors:

RETIREMENT, RESIGNATION OR TERMINATION PLANS

Officers with contracts for services have notice  requirements  which permit pay
in lieu of notice.  In December 2007 we approved a policy whereby  officers will
receive  a  termination  payment  of a  multiple  of their  annual  compensation
following a change in control of our Company.  Individual  contacts have not yet
been  amended to reflect  this  commitment.  The  multiple  used for a change of
control  payment is five times for  officers  Higgs,  Catchpole  and Hartman and
three times for all other officers.

       SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND
                           RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS


The following tables set forth information as of December 31, 2007 regarding the
ownership of our common stock by:

each  person  who is known by us to own more  than 5% of our  shares  of  common
stock; and each senior executive officer, each director and all of our directors
and executive officers as a group.

The  number  of  shares   beneficially   owned  and  the  percentage  of  shares
beneficially owned are based on 39,224,087 shares of common stock outstanding as
of December 31, 2007.


Beneficial  ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Shares subject to options that are
exercisable  within  60 days  following  December  31,  2007  are  deemed  to be
outstanding and beneficially  owned by the optionee for the purpose of computing
share  and  percentage  ownership  of that  optionee  but are not  deemed  to be
outstanding  for the purpose of computing the percentage  ownership of any other
person.  Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table,  and as affected by
applicable  community  property  laws,  all persons  listed have sole voting and
investment power for all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

It is  believed by us that all  persons  named have full  voting and  investment
power with respect to the shares indicated, unless otherwise noted in the table.
Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a person (or group of
persons)  is  deemed to be a  "beneficial  owner"  of a  security  if he or she,
directly or indirectly,  has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting
of such  security,  or the power to dispose of or to direct the  disposition  of
such  security.  Accordingly,  more  than  one  person  may  be  deemed  to be a
beneficial  owner  of the  same  security.  A  person  is  also  deemed  to be a
beneficial  owner of any  security,  which that  person has the right to acquire
within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.

We have no knowledge of any arrangements,  including any pledge by any person of
our  securities,  the  operation of which may at a  subsequent  date result in a
change in our control.

We are not,  to the  best of our  knowledge,  directly  or  indirectly  owned or
controlled by another corporation or foreign government.

                          PROPOSAL 3 -- RATIFICATION OF
                 THE AMENDED 2005 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN


WHAT AM I VOTING ON?

You are voting on a proposal to ratify the Company's proposed  amendments to its
2005  Nonqualified  Stock Option Plan (the "Stock  Option  Plan").  As explained
below, the amendments add provisions to the Company's Stock Option Plan relating
to the market price of options issued under the Stock Option Plan.


WHY DID THE BOARD ADOPT THE AMENDMENTS TO STOCK OPTION PLAN?

As part of the Company's  recent listing of the Company's shares of common stock
on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), the TSX required the Company to amend
its Stock Option Plan to provide for the matters as detailed below.


WHAT AMENDMENTS ARE BEING MADE TO THE STOCK OPTION PLAN?

The following are the provisions to be added to the Company's Stock Option Plan:

The following provision will be added to Article II - Definitions:

     "Market Price" shall mean the volume weighted  average trading price of the
     Common Shares on the Toronto Stock  Exchange  ("TSX") or the American Stock
     Exchange  ("AMEX"),  whichever exchange has the greater trading volume, for
     the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the grant. However,
     (a) if the Common  Shares  are not listed on the TSX or the AMEX,  then the
     "Market  Price" shall be  calculated  by  reference to the volume  weighted
     average  trading  price of the  Common  Shares  for the five  trading  days
     immediately  preceding the date of the grant on any other stock exchange on
     which the  Common  Shares  are  listed  (if more than one,  then  using the
     exchange on which a majority of Common  Shares are  traded);  or (b) if the
     Common  Shares are  suspended  from  trading or have not traded on the TSX,
     AMEX or another stock exchange for an extended  period of time, the "Market
     Price" will be the fair market value of the Common  Shares as determined by
     the board of directors of the Company using good faith discretion.

The  following  provision  will be added to  Article V- Stock  Option  Terms and
Conditions, Section 2:

     Nothwithstanding  the  foregoing,  no option shall be issued with an option
     price per share less than Market Price.


WHAT ARE THE GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE STOCK OPTION PLAN?

The following is a summary of important Stock Option Plan provisions.  It is not
a  comprehensive  discussion  of all of the  terms and  conditions  of the Stock
Option Plan. The  information  provided below may be modified or altered by some
provisions in the Stock Option Plan. Readers are advised to review the full text
of the Stock Option Plan to fully  understand  all terms and  conditions  of the
Stock  Option Plan. A copy of the Stock Option Plan is attached as Appendix C to
the  Company's  2007 Proxy  Statement  as filed of Schedule  14A with the SEC on
April 30, 2007 and is available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Purpose
-------
The purpose of the Stock  Option Plan is to advance  the best  interests  of the
Company  by  providing   additional  incentive  to  those  persons  who  have  a
substantial responsibility for its management, affairs, and growth by increasing
their proprietary  interest in the success of the Company,  thereby  encouraging
them to maintain their relationships with the Company. Further, the availability
and  offering  of Stock  Options  under  the Plan  supports  and  increases  the
Company's  ability to  attract,  engage and retain  individuals  of  exceptional
talent  upon  whom,  in  large  measure,   the  sustained  progress  growth  and
profitability of the Company for the shareholders depends.

Persons Eligible
----------------
Any  employee,   director,  general  partner,  officer,  attorney,   accountant,
consultant  or  advisor  providing  services  to  the  Company  or  any  parent,
affiliate,  or  subsidiary  of  the  Company  is  eligible  to be  designated  a
participant in the Stock Option Plan.

Administration
--------------
The Company's  Compensation Committee administers the Stock Option Plan, or such
other  committee as the Board may assign  administrative  responsibility  in the
best interests of the Company. The administering committee (the "Committee") has
the power to: (i)  designate  Stock Option Plan  participants;  (ii) grant stock
options;  (iii) establish rules and  regulations for the  administration  of the
Stock Option Plan;  (iv)  determine the amount,  price,  type and timing of each
stock option grant;  (v) cancel any stock option  awarded under the Stock Option
Plan,  under certain  circumstances;  (vi) correct defects in the Plan or in any
granted stock option;  and (vii) make any other  determination or take any other
action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable to the  administration of
the Stock Option Plan.

Shares Available under the Stock Option Plan
--------------------------------------------
The total number of shares of the Company  available for grants of stock options
under the Stock  Option  Plan  shall be  10,000,000  Common  Shares,  subject to
adjustment  as  herein  provided,  which  shares  may be either  authorized  but
un-issued  or  reacquired  Common  Shares of the  Company.  If a stock option or
portion  thereof  shall expire or terminate for any reason  without  having been
exercised in full, the un-purchased  shares covered by such  nonqualified  stock
option shall be available  for future  grants of stock  options  under the Stock
Option Plan. Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options have been registered
under the U.S.  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  pursuant to the Company's

Commission on November 21, 2005.

Terms and Conditions of Stock Options
-------------------------------------
Stock  options  may be granted to any person who is  performing  or who has been
engaged  to  perform  services  of  special  importance  to  management  in  the
operation,  development  and growth of the Company.  The  Committee has the sole
power to set the  option  price of  granted  stock  options.  All stock  options
granted under the Stock Option Plan must be granted within ten years of the date
the plan was adopted and all granted stock options must be exercised  within ten
years of the date of grant.  The Committee may grant stock options which vest in
installment  periods and may modify such periods to  accelerate  vesting.  Stock
options are evidenced by a form stock option agreement.

Exercise of Stock Options
-------------------------
The exercise of vested stock options is made upon written  notice to the Company
of intent to exercise and payment of the exercise price.  The exercise price may
be paid (i) in cash,  cashier's  check,  certified  check,  bank  draft or money
order,  or (ii) at the  discretion of the  Committee,  by delivery of fully paid
nonassesable  common shares of the Company,  valued at the fair market value for
such  shares,  determined  by the average of the high and low sales price of the
Company's common shares on the date of exercise.

Transfer of Stock Options
-------------------------
Except  by will,  the laws of  descent  and  distribution,  or with the  written
consent of the Committee, no right or interest in any stock option granted under
the Stock Option Plan is assignable or transferable, and no right or interest of
any optionee is liable for, or subject to, any lien,  obligation or liability of
the optionee.  Upon petition to, and thereafter  with the written consent of the
Committee, an optionee may assign or transfer all or a portion of the optionee's
rights and  interest in any stock  option  granted  under the Stock Option Plan.
Stock  options  are  exercisable  during  the  optionee's  lifetime  only by the
optionee  or  assignees,  or  the  duly  appointed  legal  representative  of an
incompetent  optionee,  including  following an  assignment  consented to by the
Committee.



                                       37
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adjustments to Stock Options
----------------------------
In the event that the outstanding  common shares of the Company are changed into
or exchanged  for a different  number or kinds of shares or other  securities of
the  Company  by  reason  of  merger,   consolidation,   other   reorganization,
recapitalization,  reclassification,  combination  of shares,  stock split-up or
stock dividend:

     o    Prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and adequate adjustment shall
          be made of the  aggregate  number and kind of shares  subject to stock
          options  which may be granted  under the Stock Option Plan,  such that
          the optionee  shall have the right to purchase  such common  shares as
          may be  issued  in  exchange  for the  common  shares  purchasable  on
          exercise  of  the   nonqualified   stock   option  had  such   merger,
          consolidation,      other      reorganization,       recapitalization,
          reclassification,  combination  of  shares,  stock  split-up  or stock
          dividend not taken place;

     o    Rights under  unexercised  stock options or portions  thereof  granted
          prior to any such change,  both as to the number or kind of shares and
          the exercise price per share, will be adjusted appropriately, provided
          that  such  adjustments  will  be made  without  change  in the  total
          exercise  price   applicable  to  the  unexercised   portion  of  such
          nonqualified  stock options but by an adjustment in the price for each
          share covered by such nonqualified stock option; or

     o    Upon any  dissolution  or  liquidation of the Company or any merger or
          combination in which the Company is not a surviving corporation,  each
          outstanding  stock option granted  hereunder shall terminate,  but the
          optionee shall have the right,  immediately prior to such dissolution,
          liquidation, merger or combination, to exercise his nonqualified stock
          option in whole or in part,  to the extent that it shall not have been
          exercised,  without regard to any installment  exercise  provisions in
          such nonqualified stock option.

Also,  upon the  occurrence of any person  acquiring more than 20% of the common
shares of the Company through a tender offer, exchange offer, or otherwise, upon
a change in control of the  Company  or upon the sale of  substantially  all the
assets  of the  Company,  any  optionee  who is also a Company  insider  will be
entitled to receive cash for their nonqualified stock options equal to the final
offer  price per share paid in the offer or similar  event,  or in the case of a
change in control or sale of assets,  the  aggregate  fair  market  value of the
shares.


Amendment of the Plan
---------------------
The Board of Directors  may at any time suspend or terminate  the Plan, in whole
or in part or amend it from time to time as appropriate in the best interests of
the Company.  No amendment  will,  without the consent of the  optionee,  affect
previously granted stock options.


WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STOCK OPTION PLAN?

As described above, any employee,  director, general partner, officer, attorney,
