    • Lost Creek optimization included bringing a sand filtration system online to increase flow rates and submitting a regulatory package for a new mine unit.
  • Market and Competitive Landscape:

    • Ur-Energy is identified as America's largest and fastest-growing domestic ISR uranium producer.
    • The Company operates a multi-asset strategy with the Lost Creek processing hub and mine, and the Shirley Basin mine, transitioning to a dual-hub model to maximize optionality in the Great Divide Basin.
    • Shirley Basin is currently operated as a spoke of the Lost Creek hub to optimize capital efficiency while permitted as a future independent production and processing hub.
  • Risks and Challenges:

    • Production activity at Shirley Basin was limited to a small area of the first mine unit during the quarter to improve operating parameters and optimize ISR operations.
    • Pounds drummed at Lost Creek decreased in Q3 2026 due to planned feed and wastewater treatment upgrades and the ramp-up of the Shirley Basin mine.
    • The Company faces risks related to the timing of construction activities, regulatory approvals, and the ability to meet sales projections if production and inventory are insufficient.
    • Forward-looking statements note risks including capital cost variances, failure to establish resources, grade and recovery variations, production rate delays, and changes in governmental policies or market conditions.
  • Management Commentary and Tone:

    • President & CEO Matt Gili described the quarter as "busy and productive," highlighting a large year-over-year increase in captured pounds and sustained low production costs.
    • Management emphasized the acceleration of the multi-asset growth strategy, including exploration at Lost Creek South and the technical report for Lost Soldier.
    • The tone reflects confidence in the ramp-up of processing hubs and mines, noting that production costs have remained low throughout the period.
  • Other Key Points:

    • The Company proactively entered into transactions to defer deliveries of 150,000 pounds to 2027 and 150,000 pounds to 2029, and extended the maturity date of its 250,000-pound inventory loan from November 2026 to November 2027.
    • In October 2026, the Company deferred an additional 300,000 pounds of deliveries from Q4 2026 to 2029.
    • These deferral transactions are designed to provide time to advance ramp-up at Lost Creek and Shirley Basin while enabling the Company to meet near-term delivery commitments from existing inventory.
    • The Company completed the third of three planned aquifer tests at Lost Soldier during the quarter.
    • Maintenance of elution and ion exchange (IX) systems at the Lost Creek plant was completed to increase processing and drumming capacity.
