Ur-Energy Commends President Trump's Bold Executive Orders for the Reinvigoration of the U.S. Nuclear Industry and U.S. Energy Security
Ur-Energy (NYSE: URG) commends President Trump's issuance of four Executive Orders aimed at expanding U.S. nuclear power capacity. The orders set an ambitious goal of quadrupling American nuclear energy capacity from 100 GW to 400 GW by 2050. Key directives include adding 5 gigawatt of power uprates to existing reactors and initiating construction of 10 new large reactors by 2030.
Ur-Energy, a U.S. uranium miner, is well-positioned to benefit from these developments with its Lost Creek mine currently ramping up production and Shirley Basin project set to commence production in early 2026. The company has $66M in cash resources and a licensed annual production capacity of 2.2 million pounds. The company plans additional delineation and exploration drilling on several Wyoming projects this summer to expand its uranium resource base.
Ur-Energy (NYSE: URG) accoglie con favore l'emissione da parte del Presidente Trump di quattro Ordini Esecutivi volti a espandere la capacità nucleare degli Stati Uniti. Gli ordini fissano un ambizioso obiettivo di quadruplicare la capacità energetica nucleare americana da 100 GW a 400 GW entro il 2050.

Ur-Energy, un producteur d'uranium américain, est bien placé pour tirer parti de ces développements avec sa mine Lost Creek qui augmente actuellement sa production et le projet Shirley Basin dont la production débutera début 2026. La société dispose de 66 millions de dollars de liquidités et d'une capacité de production annuelle autorisée de 2,2 millions de livres. Cet été, elle prévoit des forages supplémentaires de délimitation et d'exploration sur plusieurs projets dans le Wyoming afin d'élargir sa base de ressources en uranium.
Ur-Energy (NYSE: URG) begrüßt die von Präsident Trump erlassenen vier Exekutivverordnungen zur Erweiterung der US-Kernenergiekapazität. Die Verordnungen setzen sich das ehrgeizige Ziel, die amerikanische Kernenergiekapazität bis 2050 von 100 GW auf 400 GW zu vervierfachen. Zu den wichtigsten Vorgaben gehören die Steigerung der Leistung bestehender Reaktoren um 5 Gigawatt und der Baubeginn von 10 neuen Großreaktoren bis 2030.
Ur-Energy, ein US-amerikanischer Uranproduzent, ist gut positioniert, um von diesen Entwicklungen zu profitieren. Die Lost Creek Mine steigert derzeit ihre Produktion, und das Shirley Basin-Projekt soll Anfang 2026 mit der Produktion beginnen. Das Unternehmen verfügt über 66 Millionen US-Dollar an liquiden Mitteln und eine lizenzierte jährliche Produktionskapazität von 2,2 Millionen Pfund. Für diesen Sommer sind zusätzliche Erkundungs- und Bohrarbeiten an mehreren Projekten in Wyoming geplant, um die Uranressourcenbasis zu erweitern.

Insights
Trump's nuclear expansion orders create substantial long-term demand for uranium miners like Ur-Energy, boosting their growth prospects.
The executive orders issued by President Trump represent a fundamental shift in U.S. energy policy with significant implications for the domestic uranium industry. The ambitious target to quadruple nuclear capacity from 100 GW to 400 GW by 2050 would require massive uranium supply chain development. The directive to add 5 GW of power uprates and begin construction on 10 new large reactors by 2030 creates near-term catalysts for companies like Ur-Energy.
What makes these orders particularly consequential is their comprehensive approach - addressing workforce development, domestic conversion and enrichment services, advanced reactor deployment, and regulatory reform. This holistic strategy tackles the major bottlenecks that have historically constrained nuclear growth.
For Ur-Energy specifically, the timing couldn't be better. The company is currently ramping up production at Lost Creek, has received final approvals for expansion, has
The global context further strengthens the investment case, as growing electricity demand from AI and quantum computing, combined with energy security concerns, has fundamentally altered the demand outlook for nuclear power. The bipartisan support mentioned suggests these initiatives may have staying power beyond a single administration.
LITTLETON, CO / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2025 / Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSE American:URG)(TSX:URE) ("Ur-Energy"), a long-term leading U.S. uranium miner, commends the Trump Administration on its bold action of issuing four Executive Orders making the expansion of nuclear power a national priority.
On May 23, 2025, President Trump issued four Executive Orders with the objective of taking "swift and decisive action" to rapidly advance U.S. nuclear power generation and global nuclear influence in the interest of America's national security.
President Trump called for quadrupling American nuclear energy capacity from 100 GW in 2024 to 400 GW by 2050 and laid out a clear path to achieve that ambitious goal, including workforce development; expansion of domestic conversion and enrichment services; development and deployment of advanced nuclear reactors; and regulatory reform.
The Department of Energy was directed to prioritize work with the U.S. nuclear industry to add 5 gigawatt of power uprates to existing nuclear reactors and have 10 new large reactors under construction by 2030.
Notably, the directives accelerate efforts to enhance the efficiency and focus of the NRC while emphasizing that the U.S. maintains its leading reputation for nuclear safety.
Ur-Energy commends President Trump's initiative through the issuance of the four Executive Orders. The actions taken will accelerate the development of the nuclear industrial base domestically and reposition the U.S. as a commercial nuclear leader globally. The Executive Orders complement other recent bipartisan Congressional actions to advance the domestic nuclear fuel cycle.
The shift to nuclear power is global, resulting from the desire of many nations for energy security and reliable carbon-free baseload power, and from the immense growth in electricity demand from AI and quantum computing. Based on these sustaining needs, we believe the demand for nuclear power has fundamentally and irreversibly changed.
The President's actions support long-term uranium demand and therefore production from Ur-Energy's Lost Creek and Shirley Basin mines. Ur-Energy continues to ramp up production at Lost Creek and will start uranium production at Shirley Basin in the near-term, leading to a licensed 2.2 million pound annual production capacity.
Ur-Energy is one of only a few established U.S. miners positioned to supply uranium into the domestic market. Our Lost Creek Mine is fully permitted, staffed and ramping up production. We recently received the final approvals to expand Lost Creek, allowing for many additional years of uranium recovery. We are constructing Shirley Basin, our second Wyoming recovery site, with production planned to commence in early 2026.
In addition to Lost Creek and Shirley Basin, we have planned delineation and exploration drilling on several of our other Wyoming projects this summer to expand our uranium resource base. As of May 2, 2025, we were in the enviable position of having
We are excited by the rapid growth potential of the U.S. and global commercial nuclear industry and applaud President Trump's bold action last week to return the U.S. to its leadership role in the nuclear sector. The Executive Orders' mandate of rapid action will result in the expansion of the domestic reactor fleet and resulting demand for uranium. Ur-Energy has the people, projects and experience to deliver into this national priority.
