Liquidity Risk
 
The Company has financed its operations from its inception primarily through the issuance of equity securities and debt instruments. Construction and development of the Lost Creek Project commenced in October 2012 after receiving the Record of Decision from the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”).  Production began in August 2013 after receiving final operational clearance from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”). The Company made its first deliveries and related sales in December 2013.
 
On October 23, 2013, the Company closed a $34 million Sweetwater County, State of Wyoming, Taxable Industrial Development Revenue Bond financing program (“State Bond Loan”). The repayment terms of the State Bond Loan call for interest only payments for the first year of the loan.
 
On December 19, 2013, the Company drew down $5 million from RMB Australia Holdings (“RMBAH”) on its First Loan Facility (see note 13). On the same date, the Company closed a private placement for gross proceeds of $5.1 million from the sale of 4.7 million units at $1.10 per unit (see note 18). Together, the funds were used to purchase Pathfinder Mines Corporation on December 18, 2013.
 
Based upon its current working capital balances and the expected timing of product sales, possible additional funding might be sought. Although the Company has been successful in raising debt and equity financing in the past, there can be no guarantee that such funding will be available in the future.
