Based on geologic reports and more than 90 drill holes, these 8000 acres are believed to cover a northeast-southwest uranium mineralization trend. Plans are being made to begin drilling this property next winter after the Wyoming drilling season is completed. Initial drilling programs will be designed to confirm the presence of the uranium mineralization and to obtain core samples for extraction testing procedures to determine the potential for in-situ recovery mining possibilities. Uranerz Energy has made the decision to widen its operations into the State of Texas given the possibility of in-situ recovery mining as evidenced by the existence of at least two successful uranium mines currently operating there now and the permitting activities of additional production facilities at this time. This land acquisition program is part of Uranerz Energy?s ongoing plans to acquire property with high potential for recoverable uranium in the not too distant time frame. Land activities continue both in Wyoming, especially the Powder River Basin area, as well as Texas and other areas of interest. Section 9 ? Financial Statements and Exhibits Item 9.01 ?

Based on geologic reports and more than 90 drill holes, these 8000 acres are believed to cover a northeast-southwest uranium mineralization trend. Plans are being made to begin drilling this property next winter after the Wyoming drilling season is completed. Initial drilling programs will be designed to confirm the presence of the uranium mineralization and to obtain core samples for extraction testing procedures to determine the potential for in-situ recovery mining possibilities. Uranerz Energy has made the decision to widen its operations into the State of Texas given the possibility of in-situ recovery mining as evidenced by the existence of at least two successful uranium mines currently operating there now and the permitting activities of additional production facilities at this time. ?We have reason to believe that this property may show significant uranium mineralization,? stated Kurtis Brown, Senior Vice President of Exploration, ?With the State of Texas proving to be very uranium friendly, both past and present, in time we may be able to initiate an in-situ recovery operation.? This land acquisition program is part of Uranerz Energy?s ongoing plans to acquire property with high potential for recoverable uranium in the not too distant time frame. Land activities continue both in Wyoming, especially the Powder River Basin area, as well as Texas and other areas of interest. Uranerz Energy Corporation has expertise in in-situ recovery uranium mining and holds a number of properties in Wyoming with uranium-mineralized sandstone. Several of the Powder River Basin uranium properties are advanced, and the Company has initiated environmental licensing and mine planning for the development of two of these properties, the Hank and Nichols Ranch projects.
