Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSE American: URG; TSX: URE) is a single-commodity uranium producer operating entirely in Wyoming under a Canadian corporate charter. Its producing asset is the Lost Creek in-situ recovery (ISR) project in the Great Divide Basin, run through its Wyoming subsidiary Lost Creek ISR, LLC and in operation since 2013.
The Lost Creek plant "was designed to generate approximately one million pounds of production per year at certain flow rates and uranium concentrations subject to regulatory and license conditions." Its second flagship, Shirley Basin, was acquired as part of the 2013 Pathfinder acquisition; as of the FY2025 10-K all major authorisations to construct and operate have been received, construction of the satellite plant is "well advanced", and the company plans to commence production and commission the operation in 2026. Lost Creek and Shirley Basin are, in the 10-K's words, "the only two mineral properties that we deem to be individually material." Output has roughly tripled over three years but remains well under plant design. Captured U3O8 was 103,487 lb in 2023, 265,746 lb in 2024 and 370,893 lb in 2025; drummed and packaged product was 249,209 lb in 2024 and 410,440 lb in 2025. Sales — drawn from both produced and purchased inventory — were 280,000 lb (2023), 570,000 lb (2024) and 440,000 lb (2025), against multi-year sales contracts with eight customers. One disclosure that materially qualifies all of the above: despite thirteen years of recovery at Lost Creek, Ur-Energy states it "remain[s] classified as an exploration stage issuer" under S-K 1300 because it has not established proven or probable mineral reserves through a pre-feasibility or feasibility study for any project, and that its properties "do not contain mineral reserves as defined under SEC Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K ... or Canadian National Instrument 43-101". The published figures are *resources*, not reserves. That is the company's own characterisation and is repeated here rather than smoothed over.
Verbatim from the dossier's “What they do” section — sources on the company profile.
This is where Ur-Energy Inc. produces — approximate output shares from its dossier — not where it sells. Sales geography is not yet in our corpus for any company, so we cannot compute exposure to measures that bite on where products ship: an extraterritorial re-export rule follows the shipment and its material content, not the factory. Where such a measure touches its materials, the policy sections below flag it — but its sales-side incidence is not computable yet, and we say so rather than substitute the production map for it.
Of everything in its products, we track the critical inputs — the materials whose supply is concentrated in few countries, policy-exposed, or hard to substitute — because those are the ones a single measure can move. Each carries its role in the product, quoted from the dossier's own exposure note.
Uranium — *bulk input, and the company's only product*. No engineering inference is required: Ur-Energy mines, recovers, processes and sells U3O8 and nothing else, which is the basis for the `high` magnitude band.
Scope. The non-critical remainder of the bill of materials — structural steel, polymers, glass and the like — is not tracked here because it is not supply-constrained: this section covers the constrained inputs, which is where policy risk concentrates, not a full bill of materials.
The top 4 are ranked mechanically — what the instrument does (its transmission class: an export ban is not a reporting duty), × how close to law (stage-derived likelihood band, never a probability) × how much of your tracked bill of materials it touches. Each unfolds as a chain: trigger → what it hits → the response the instrument actually calls for. A measure touching a material you produce can be an opportunity, not a threat.

Senate-approved package of amendments to Kazakhstan's Code on Subsoil and Subsoil Use (No. 125-VI ZRK): (1) raises the mandatory local (domestic) content share in works and services from 50% to 70% during exploration and extraction of solid minerals INCLUDING URANIUM — a material new in-country-value obligation on the world's #1 uranium producer (Kazatomprom) and its JV partners (Cameco, Orano, CGN/CNNC, Uranium One); (2) digitises geological data and expands electronic auctions for granting subsoil-use rights; (3) grants strategic investors implementing large industrial/innovation projects (>14. 5M MCI) a priority right to explore and extract solid minerals. Re-prices the cost base and access regime for Kazakh uranium, copper, chromium and the country's emerging rare-earth deposits.

If adopted, creates a unified mining regulatory framework across Cameroon, CAR, Congo-Brazzaville, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Chad — harmonising licensing regimes, fiscal terms, transparency obligations (EITI, KP, ICGLR), and environmental standards; would affect Eramet/Comilog manganese operations (Gabon), Sundance Resources iron ore (CAR), Chinese mining JVs (Congo-Brazzaville, CAR), and uranium projects across the region; if enacted, creates a regional investment-guarantee architecture that could facilitate cross-border mining finance and reduce individual-country treaty risk; structural precedent for pooled resource sovereignty in a region where individual states are renegotiating contracts (Gabon post-coup Décret 0276/2024 sovereign-equity mandate, CAR post-KP-readmission, Congo-Brazzaville mining-code review)

This is a reporting / disclosure obligation — it does not prohibit importing from anywhere, so there is no supplier to switch and we list none. What you must do is what the measure's own text above describes: map the supply chain it covers, run the audit, and file. Its text states no filing deadline — we don't invent one.
Mapping your supply chain is exactly the work this obligation requires — your MacroLens exposure report is that map's starting point.

For a material it buys, a restriction tightens supply and raises input cost — a headwind. For the 1 it produces, the same restriction supports pricing — a tailwind. Scores are footprint-adjusted and buyer-relative (0–100, higher = more exposed).
Its customers sit in ev batteries, permanent magnets, ev motors, wind turbines, defence… — read via the graph's critical minerals node, the nearest equivalent of its sector. A measure supporting those sectors supports demand for this company's products; one restricting them puts that demand at risk. The sign shown is the mechanical read — click through to judge whether a measure protects or constrains the customer.
Every tracked material is on the supply side — the strategy here is positioning, not substitution.
This company sits on the supply side of uranium. Restrictions by 🇷🇺 RU push buyers toward ex-RU producers — the strategy is to be visible where those buyers look: the uranium chokepoint page and the watchlist.
lib/policy-transmission.ts): an export prohibition in the measure's name/text → supply restriction; a raw/unprocessed-export limit or local-processing mandate → beneficiation (form change, not unavailability); reporting/disclosure/due-diligence language → compliance obligation; tariff/trade-remedy language → import cost; subsidy/fast-track/relaxation language → support; investment-screening/M&A language → investment control. When the text carries no signal we fall back to the action-type default and label the chip inferred; when neither exists the card says so and derives no response — we never assert a class the evidence doesn't support.lib/iptm-material-country-production.ts; mining stage preferred, refining as fallback — the stage and source year are in each figure's hover text). Ex-issuer supply removes the ISSUING country and renormalises the remaining listed shares (so they sum to 100% of what's left) — alternatives to the country making the rule, never a default ex-China list. Where the issuer holds no measurable share, the card says so plainly instead of implying supply loss.lib/alternative-viability.ts): each named alternative carries a deployment status — operating / ramping / restarting / development / unknown — derived from word-boundary signal phrases in its own dossier (“operating since 1896”, “restarting the … mine”, “FID taken”), and the verbatim matched phrase is shown as the basis so the claim is auditable; a dossier with no signal stays unknown, never guessed. Any evidenced production date is quoted verbatim (“first production targeted H2 2029” → “no tonnes before 2029”) — we never synthesize one. A measure whose own text claims extraterritorial / re-export / de-minimis / foreign-direct-product / percentage-of-value scope triggers the origin-switching warning above the list: such a rule follows the material, not the seller, so a foreign-made alternative can still be captured. Same-issuer register actions targeting an alternative's country and material mark it may be captured, with the entries linked. “Capacity partly committed” lines quote the dossier verbatim — we hold no structured free-capacity numbers and never imply a utilisation figure.How MacroLens tracks this for you.
