Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.

Nature of Operations

     

Uranerz Energy Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. on May 26, 1999. Effective July 5, 2005, the Company changed its name from Carleton Ventures Corp. to Uranerz Energy Corporation. The Company has mineral property interests in Canada and the United States.

     

The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises” and Securities Act Industry Guide 7.  The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploitation of uranium and mineral resources.

     
2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   
  a) Basis of Presentation
     

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2009, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter of the entire year ending December 31, 2009. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been condensed pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 12, 2009 with the SEC.

     

b)

Cash and Cash Equivalents
     

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

     

c)

Marketable Securities
     

The Company defines marketable securities as income yielding securities that can be readily converted into cash. Examples of marketable securities include U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, time deposits, foreign notes and certificates of deposit. The Company accounts for its investment in debt and equity instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and Financial Accounting Standards Board”, or FASB, Staff Position, or FSP, SFAS No. 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than- Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. We follow the guidance provided by FSP 115-1, to assess whether our investments with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense). Management determines the appropriate classification of such securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. At June 30, 2009, the Company’s marketable securities consisted of term deposits for periods longer than three months and are classified as held-to-maturity.

     

d)

Mineral Property Costs
     

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with EITF 04-2 “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets” when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met. In the event that a mineral property is acquired through the issuance of the Company’s shares, the mineral property will be recorded at the fair value of the respective property or the fair value of common shares, whichever is more readily determinable.

     

When mineral properties are acquired under option agreements with future acquisition payments to be made at the sole discretion of the Company, those future payments, whether in cash or shares, are recorded only when the Company has made or is obliged to make the payment or issue the shares. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves and pre feasibility, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

       
e)

Income Taxes

       

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

       
f)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

       

Our financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities, and accounts payable. Marketable securities consist of time deposits longer than three months and are classified as held to maturity securities. Pursuant to SFAS No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, the fair value of our cash equivalents and marketable securities is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

       
g)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

       

In May 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 165 (SFAS 165), “Subsequent Events”. SFAS 165 establishes general standards of for the evaluation, recognition and disclosure of events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. Although there is new terminology, the standard is based on the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. The standard, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

       

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 (SFAS 162), “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

       

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 (SFAS 161), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 133). This statement is intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

       

In December 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 (SFAS 160), “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51”. SFAS 160 addresses the accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

     

In December 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (SFAS 141R), “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets (including in-process research and development) acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 141R, in- process research and development was immediately expensed. In addition, under SFAS 141R all acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The effect of adopting SFAS 141R will depend upon the nature, terms and size of any acquisition we consummate after the effective date of January 1, 2009.

     

In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP No. 141R-1 (FSP No. 141 R-1) “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”. FSP 141R-1 amends the provisions in Statement 141R for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The FSP eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria in Statement 141R and instead carries forward most of the provisions in SFAS 141 for acquired contingencies. FSP 141R-1 is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We expect FSP 141R-1 will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, term and size of the acquired contingencies. The effect of adopting FSP 141R-1 will depend upon the nature, terms and size of any acquired contingencies consummated after the effective date of January 1, 2009.

     

On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued three FSPs intended to provide additional application guidance and enhanced disclosures regarding fair value measurements and other-than-temporary impairments of securities.

     

FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” FSP FAS 157-4 must be applied prospectively and retrospective application is not permitted. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity early adopting FSP FAS 157-4 must also early adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2.

     

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on debt securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt this FSP only if it also elects to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4.

     

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. However, an entity may early adopt these interim fair value disclosure requirements only if it also elects to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2.

     

The adoption of these FSPs did not have a material effect consolidated financial statements.

     

On April 13, 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Office of the Chief Accountant and Division of Corporation Finance issued SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 111 (“SAB 111”). SAB 111 amends and replaces SAB Topic 5M, “Miscellaneous Accounting—Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Equity Securities” to reflect FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. This FSP provides guidance for assessing whether an impairment of a debt security is other than temporary, as well as how such impairments are presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The amended SAB Topic 5M maintains the prior staff views related to equity securities but has been amended to exclude debt securities from its scope. SAB 111 is effective upon the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. The adoption of SAB 111 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

     

At June 30, 2009 the Company had $18,673,255 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We maintain an investment portfolio of $9,371,630 of term deposits with terms longer than three months. Pursuant to SFAS 157, the fair value of all of our cash equivalents and marketable securities is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company places cash investments in instruments that meet credit quality standards, as specified in our investment policy guidelines. These guidelines also limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer or type of instrument.

Investment in Rolling Hills

     

Rolling Hills was formerly a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Mongolia. On June 18, 2008, the Company disposed of 60% of its investment pursuant to the option and joint venture agreement referred to in Note 6(d). On August 25, 2008, the Company disposed of its remaining 40% investment. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized a gain on the disposal of $979,709.

     

As a result of the Company’s disposal of Rolling Hills all operations related to the former subsidiary have been classified as discontinued operations. The assets and liabilities of Rolling Hills have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Cash flows from discontinued operations were not material and were combined with cash flows from continuing operations within the consolidated statement of cash flows categories.

No options shall be issued under the Stock Option Plan at a price per share less than the defined Market Price. On June 11, 2008, the Company modified the Stock Option Plan to define Market Price as the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange, whichever has the greater trading volume for the five trading days before the date of grant. At June 30, 2009, the Company had 3,314,860 shares of common stock available to be issued under the Plan.

     

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company granted 1,327,500 stock options with immediate vesting to directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire 1,327,500 common shares at an exercise price of $0.65 per share exercisable for 2 - 7 years and recorded stock-based compensation for the vested options of $797,483, as general and administrative expense.

Segment Disclosures

   

The Company has two operating segments both involving the acquisition and exploitation of uranium and mineral resources. These operating segments consist of the Arkose Mining Venture (“Arkose”) and the Company’s remaining operations

   

Factors used to identify the Company’s reportable segments include the organizational structure of the Company and the financial information available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s operating segments have been broken out based on similar economic and other qualitative criteria. The Company operates both reporting segments in one geographical area, the United States.

   

The Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) as defined by SFAS 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” The CODM allocates resources and assesses the performance of the Company based on the results of operations.

   

Prior to the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company only had one operating segment.

Through a combination of claim staking, purchasing, and leasing we have also acquired interests in several projects that lie within the Powder River Basin but outside of the project areas discussed above. These properties include the Verna Ann, Niles Ranch, North Reno Creek, and South Reno Creek projects. These projects are located in sandstone basins of Tertiary age with known uranium mineralization. However, due to our focused approach we have not yet initiated exploration work on these projects.

Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration of our Wyoming Powder River Basin properties while our joint venture partner will be responsible for carrying out exploration of our Wyoming Great Divide Basin properties. Our Texas and Saskatchewan properties are under strategic review. The information regarding the location and access for our Saskatchewan and Wyoming properties, together with the history of operations, present condition and geology of each of our properties, is presented in Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the heading “Description of Properties”, previously filed with the SEC on March 12, 2009.

During the winter of 2008/09 leach amenability studies were performed on sample cores obtained from the Doughstick and South Doughstick properties. Standard ISR leach “bottle roll” tests were conducted on the samples by Energy Laboratories in Casper, Wyoming. The leach amenability studies intend to demonstrate that the uranium mineralization is capable of being leached using conventional ISR chemistry. The leach solution was prepared using sodium bicarbonate as the source of the carbonate complexing agent. Hydrogen peroxide was added as the uranium oxidizing agent. The study is an indication of the ore’s reaction rate and the


potential uranium recovery. The test results showed the uranium recovery percentage for South Doughstick as 87.8%, and the uranium recovery percentage for Doughstick as 77.1% . The 88 and 77 percent results are greater than the 73 percent that Uranerz used in its Preliminary (Economic) Assessment of the Nichols Ranch Uranium ISR Project. Doughstick and South Doughstick properties are located approximately 2 miles south of Nichols Ranch.

Drilling in 2009 began April 21 on the Arkose Mining Venture properties. Through July 3, 2009, a total of 199 uranium trend and delineation holes were drilled utilizing up to three drill rigs and two electric log probing units. Drilling was conducted at South Doughstick, Cedar Canyon, and a new adjacent area, North Jane.

A total of 93 holes were drilled at the South Doughstick property and extended the known 100 Sand uranium-mineralized trend an additional 2,600 feet farther south in the middle of the property. Drilling also began one mile south of the primary South Doughstick trend on an extension where uranium mineralization has been found in the 100 Sand with 43 exploration holes drilled at this location. Preparation of a National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the South Doughstick property is in progress and is expected to be released in the near future.

At Cedar Canyon, 32 exploration holes were drilled but only minor mineralization was found. In an adjacent area between the Uranerz Doughstick property and Cedar Canyon, new uranium mineralization was found in the 100 Sand. This area of the Arkose property, designated the North Jane project, is believed to be an extension of the trend located at the Company’s 100%-owned Doughstick property. To date, 31 holes have been drilled at North Jane with good results. A separate National Instrument 43-101 technical report has been started for the Uranerz Doughstick property, but will now wait for the North Jane drilling to be completed, as these two properties are adjacent and believed to be part of the same trend. The combined effort for drilling on the Arkose properties through July 3, 2009 represents approximately 126,117 feet of drilling with an average depth of 634 feet per hole.

In addition to the Arkose exploration program, 51 delineation holes were drilled on Uranerz’ 100%-owned Nichols Ranch and other near-by properties. The purpose of this drilling was primarily to prepare for the installation of baseline monitor wells for the planned Nichols Ranch ISR uranium mining facility Well Field Unit #1.

The objective of the 2009 Arkose drilling project is to find previously unknown or little known uranium mineralization trends and to delineate known trends, thus providing data for permitting and eventual production operations in favorably identified areas. During the first half of 2009, uranium mineralization found ranged from <0.01% eU3O8 to 0.51% eU3O8. A cut-off grade of 0.03% eU3O8 was established for Arkose projects. Approximately 45.2 % of the 199 holes drilled to date in 2009 met or exceeded the minimum cut-off grade. Some of the delineation drilling was conducted in rows or fences of drill holes, with each end of the fence being drilled until barren sand was found. This drilling technique typically results in two or more barren holes per fence.

The drilling results Uranerz has achieved at the Arkose South Doughstick, North Jane, and South Doughstick Extension properties is encouraging. The full extent of the uranium resources on the South Doughstick project area was virtually unknown prior to the Uranerz drilling program last season. Considering that the proposed Nichols Ranch ISR uranium facility site is only 2 to 3 miles away, additional mineralization should further enhance Uranerz’ position in this area of the Powder River Basin. Looking to the remainder of our summer drilling activities, after North Jane has been delineated, we plan to move to the Little Butte area where mineralization was found in 2008. Drilling at Little Butte will concentrate on the 90 Sand and a trend nose structure we believe is contained there.

We have applied for mine operating permits on two of our properties in the Powder River Basin area of Wyoming that we feel have the potential, based on data in our possession, of being developed into commercial in-situ recovery uranium mines. We plan to use the low cost mining process of in-situ recovery mining (which we refer to as “ISR”), a process that uses a ‘leaching’ solution to extract uranium from underground ore bodies. The ‘leaching’ agent, which contains an oxidant such as oxygen with sodium bicarbonate (commonly known as baking soda), is added to the native groundwater and injected through wells into the ore body in a sandstone aquifer to dissolve the uranium. This solution is then pumped via other wells to the surface for processing — resulting in a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly mining process.

The ISR mining process differs dramatically from conventional mining techniques in that ISR mining leaves the rock matrix in place. The ISR technique avoids the movement and milling of rock and ore does not produce mill tailing waste associated with more traditional mining methods.

Applications for a Permit to Mine and a Source Material License for the Nichols Ranch ISR Uranium Project were submitted to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality — Land Quality Division (“WDEQ”) and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) in December of 2007. Both the NRC and WDEQ applications were deemed complete for further technical and environmental review in April 2008 and August 2008, respectively. In the fall of 2008, Uranerz received Requests for Additional Information (“RAI”) for the technical review from the NRC. Uranerz submitted responses to the RAI, consisting of answers with supporting data, to the NRC during March 2009. This return of information and data will allow the NRC to progress with the review, which should ultimately lead to the issuance of the required Source Materials License that allows Uranerz to receive, possess, use, transfer, and deliver radioactive materials. Uranerz also received an RAI from the NRC for the environmental portion of the application review on March 12, 2009. Uranerz submitted responses to the environmental RAI in May 2009. The WDEQ is currently


conducting their detailed review of the Permit to Mine application and both the NRC and WDEQ applications are progressing through the regulatory review process. Approval of the permit applications is expected to allow us to proceed with commercial advancement of the two properties leading to production of yellowcake using the ISR method of uranium mining.

The mine plan for the Nichols Ranch ISR Uranium Project includes a central processing facility at our Nichols Ranch property and a satellite ion exchange facility at our Hank property. The ultimate production level from these two properties is planned to be in the range of 600,000 to 800,000 pounds per year (as U3O8). The central processing facility is planned for a licensed capacity of 2 million pounds per year of uranium (as U3O8) and it is intended that it will process uranium-bearing well-field solutions from Nichols Ranch, as well as uranium-loaded resin transported from the Hank satellite facility, plus uranium-loaded resin from any additional satellite deposits that may be developed on our other Powder River Basin properties. This centralized design enhances the economics of our potential additional satellite projects by maximizing production capacity while minimizing further capital expenditures on processing facilities. The project is progressing through detailed engineering and design. On June 6, 2009, we announced and released a technical report on the Nichols Ranch property. See Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 6, 2009.

In anticipation of receiving all the approvals necessary to mine in 2010, we have commenced a marketing program for conditional sales of uranium from our Nichols Ranch ISR Uranium Project. On July 23, 2009, we announced that we entered into a sales agreement with Exelon Generation Company, LLC for the sale of uranium over a five year period for defined pricing.

Financial Position

The Company’s overall financial position is disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2009 and the unaudited Financial Statements at June 30, 2009 as provided herein under the section heading “Financial Statements” above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are carrying out an exploration, environmental and mine design program with a budget of approximately $5,900,000 in 2009. This plan, plus general and administrative expenses of approximately $3,600,000 amounts to cash requirements of approximately $9,500,000 for the year ending December 31, 2009 as reported in Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the heading “Description of Properties”, previously filed with the SEC on March 12, 2009. Mineral property acquisitions, dependent upon opportunities that may arise, and equipment acquisitions of approximately $1,500,000 are expected be additional expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, mineral property expenditures incurred were $1,540,684, including minor acquisitions.

At June 30, 2009, we had cash and short term securities of $18,673,255 and working capital of $18,262,867, as compared to the ending near cash balance of $21,253,277 and working capital of $21,405,022 as at December 31, 2008. Our working capital at June 30, 2009 includes $9,371,630 of short term marketable securities compared to $20,432,035 as at December 31, 2008, which are equivalent to cash for operational purposes.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,569,201 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $7,604,033 for the corresponding period in 2008. The decrease in net cash used in operations of $5,034,832 resulted primarily from a decrease in mineral property cash expenditures of $4,772,450 from 2008 when substantial properties were acquired. Net cash from investing activities was $11,028,778 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $15,980,285 used in the corresponding period in 2008; the variance derived primarily from the investment in short term marketable securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $20,806 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $22,765,841 provided in the corresponding period in 2008 when common shares were issued for proceeds of $24,168,475..

During the twelve-month period following the date of this quarterly report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. We anticipate that any additional funding may be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock and the exercise of share purchase warrants. Our exploration plans will be continually evaluated and modified as exploration and environmental results become available. General and administrative expenses, planning and environmental expenses are incurred throughout the year; most of our exploration expenditures are incurred during the nine-month period of March through November. Modifications to our plans will be based on many factors including results of exploration, assessment of data, weather conditions, exploration costs, the price of uranium and available capital. Further, the extent of exploration programs that we undertake will be dependent upon the amount of financing available to us. We believe we have sufficient cash to continue our exploration and planning and to meet on-going operating expenses for the next twelve months, and beyond as we scale our operations to the resources we have available.


To date, our primary source of funds has been equity investments, and this trend is expected to continue together with production related financing when our mine development permitting is complete. Recently, the poor conditions in the U.S. housing market and the subsequent credit restrictions which caused a loss of confidence in the broader U.S. and global credit are working their way through the financial system. These disruptions in the credit and financial markets have had a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. Our access to additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If, when additional funding is required, we are unable to obtain financing through equity investments on terms suitable to us, we will seek multiple solutions including, but not limited to, credit facilities or debenture issuances, or, if necessary, selling off property interests, either by selling production interests, royalty interests or properties.

On July 10, 2009, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a preliminary prospectus in Canada under which, when effective, we may issue up to $50 million in common stock, debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts or other such securities.

Our current short term investments have not been affected by the current stock market disruptions as these investments are primarily in low risk bearer deposit notes issued and guaranteed by Canadian Chartered banks. At the end of the investment period of these securities, we plan on reinvesting the securities in similar short term instruments. Management and the board of directors periodically meet to review the status of these investments and determine investment strategies, taking into account current market conditions and the short and long term capital needs of the Company.

Results of Operations

Three-month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to three-month period ended June 30, 2008

Revenue and Operating Expenses

We have not earned any revenues to date and we anticipate that we will not generate any revenues during the twelve-month period following the date of this quarterly report.

We incurred total operating expenses of approximately $2,135,848 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $2,350,166 for the corresponding period in 2008. The decrease of operating expenses in the amount of $214,318 was primarily attributable to a $166,268 decrease in general and administrative expenses.

We had no significant financing expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. We earned $55,248 of interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $144,819 for the corresponding period in 2008. This income resulted from short term investments.

Net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $1,886,980, as compared to approximately $1,451,759 for the corresponding period in 2008, primarily due to the reduction of interest income and an increase in mineral property expenditures.

Six-month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to six-month period ended June 30, 2008

We incurred total operating expenses of approximately $4,257,423 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $30,729,745 for the corresponding period in 2008. The decrease of operating expenses in the amount of $26,472,322 was primarily attributable to a $23,862,450 decrease in mineral property expenditures and a $1,749,540 decrease in general and administrative expenses. Our $24,617,796 acquisition of NAMMCO properties is included in the mineral property expenditures for six-month period ended June 30, 2008.

We had no significant financing expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. We earned $113,994 of interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $207,115 for the corresponding period in 2008. This income resulted from short term investments. A gain on sale of approximately $753,557 for 60% of former subsidiary, Rolling Hills LLP, was realized during the six month period ended June 30, 2008.

Net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $3,874,249, as compared to approximately $29,770,962 for the corresponding period in 2008, a decrease of $25,896,713. The net loss was abnormally affected by the acquisition of properties in the 2008 period and results of operations can be more expected to reflect historical levels for the remainder of 2009, unless other significant acquisitions are identified and concluded.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders except as disclosed in the unaudited Financial Statements at June 30, 2009. The Company has had no material changes to its off-balance sheet arrangements as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2009 and the unaudited Financial Statements at June 30, 2009 as provided herein under the section heading “Financial Statements” above.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.

We believe the following critical accounting policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Mineral Property Costs

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with EITF 04-2 “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets” when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met. In the event that a mineral property is acquired through the issuance of the Company’s shares, the mineral property will be recorded at the fair value of the respective property or the fair value of common shares, whichever is more readily determinable.

When mineral properties are acquired under option agreements with future acquisition payments to be made at the sole discretion of the Company, those future payments, whether in cash or shares, are recorded only when the Company has made or is obliged to make the payment or issue the shares. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves and pre-feasibility, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for all share-based awards, made to employees and directors, including stock options. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the vesting period.

No tax benefits were attributed to stock-based compensation expense because a full valuation allowance was maintained for all net deferred tax assets.

Contractual Obligations

The Company has had no material changes to its contractual obligations as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2009 and the unaudited Financial Statements at June 30, 2009 as provided herein under the section heading “Financial Statements” above.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our operations are not yet exposed to risks associated with commodity prices, interest rates and credit. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential loss that we may incur as a result of changes in the fair value of uranium. Interest rate risk results from our debt and equity instruments that we issue to provide financing and liquidity for our business. Credit risk would arise from the extension of credit throughout all aspects of our business but is not yet significant. Industry-wide risks can, however, affect our general ability to finance exploration, and development of exploitable resources; such effects are not predictable or quantifiable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Glenn Catchpole, and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Benjamin Leboe, of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During our most recently completed fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

(a)

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;

  
(b)

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and

  
(c)

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



PART II- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We currently are not a party to any material legal proceedings and, to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except for the risk factor as provided below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2009

Recent market events and conditions, including disruptions in the U.S. and international credit markets and other financial systems and the deterioration of the U.S. and global economic conditions, could, among other things, impede access to capital or increase the cost of capital, which would have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our working capital and other capital requirements.

In 2007, 2008 and into 2009, the U.S. credit markets began to experience serious disruption due to a deterioration in residential property values, defaults and delinquencies in the residential mortgage market (particularly, sub-prime and non-prime mortgages) and a decline in the credit quality of mortgage backed securities. These problems led to a slow-down in residential housing market transactions, declining housing prices, delinquencies in non-mortgage consumer credit and a general decline in consumer confidence. These conditions continued and worsened in 2008 and into 2009, causing a loss of confidence in the broader U.S. and global credit and financial markets and resulting in the collapse of, and government intervention in, major banks, financial institutions and insurers and creating a climate of greater volatility, less liquidity, widening of credit spreads, a lack of price transparency, increased credit losses and tighter credit conditions. Notwithstanding various actions by the U.S. and foreign governments, concerns about the general condition of the capital markets, financial instruments, banks, investment banks, insurers and other financial institutions caused the broader credit markets to further deteriorate and stock markets to decline substantially. In addition, general economic indicators deteriorated, including declining consumer sentiment, increased unemployment and declining economic growth and uncertainty about corporate earnings.

Although there are indications that the worst disruptions are over, these disruptions in the credit and financial markets have had a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. These disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for us to obtain, or increase our cost of obtaining, capital and financing for our operations. Our access to additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us.
