Exhibit 99.1

Ur-Energy Provides 2014 Q3 Operational Results

Littleton, Colorado (PR Newswire – October 08, 2014) Ur-Energy Inc. (TSX:URE, NYSE MKT:URG) (“Ur-Energy” or the “Company”) provides the following report of operational results for third quarter 2014.

Operational Highlights for Lost Creek

Lost Creek Uranium Production and Sales

During Q3 2014, production rates at the Lost Creek Project were increased over the previous quarter and maintained at levels that allowed the Company to fulfill its contractual sales requirements. The quarter included contractual product sales at 100,000 pounds U3O8. The product was sold at an average price of $59. 96 per pound. Quarterly product sales revenues totaled $6.0 million.

Production flow was sourced from six header houses in the first mine unit. Header house number six was the only new production area activated during the quarter. Plant head grades continued to be significantly higher than projected while production flow rates were deliberately curtailed to manage uranium production rates and waste water generation. For the quarter, 131,331 pounds of U3O8 were captured within the Lost Creek plant. Plant operations matched the wellfield productivity as 125,915 pounds U3O8 were packaged in drums and 126,500 pounds U3O8 of drummed inventory were shipped out of the Lost Creek processing plant.

Upon the successful completion of the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Company’s wholly owned Shirley Basin Project, the Company became eligible to draw an additional $3.5 million from our debt facility with RMBAH. The funds were received in September 2014.

Guidance for Q4 2014

The Q4 2014 production target for Lost Creek is 150,000 pounds U3O8 dried and drummed. The Company anticipates completing contractual deliveries of 100,000 pounds during Q4 for gross revenues of approximately $6.5 million. The production rate may be adjusted upward or downward based on the then-current uranium spot market pricing and other factors.
