Section 8 Other Events
Item 8.01
Uranerz Energy Corporation announces the completion of an initial leasing
program of approximately 8000 acres in the State of Texas. 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.

Uranerz Acquires Texas Uranium Project
Casper, Wyoming, July 16, 2007 -- Uranerz Energy Corporation (AMEX:URZ) is
pleased to announce the completion of an initial leasing program of
approximately 8000 acres in the State of Texas. 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.
