This document provides information about Uranerz Energy Corporation, a uranium development company with projects located in Wyoming. It discusses Uranerz's management team and properties, including resource estimates. It also summarizes the in-situ recovery mining process, the permitting status of Uranerz's projects, and preliminary economic assessments that indicate the projects could have strong economics. Analyst commentary is provided supporting Uranerz as an investment opportunity to gain exposure to a near-term, low-cost uranium producer.

NYSE Amex Exchange Toronto Stock Exchange Frankfurt Exchange U9EURZ2 Cautionary Statements This presentation may contain or refer to "forward-looking information" and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable United States and Canadian securities laws, which may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to future production, future pursuit of uranium sales contracts, anticipated exposure to uranium market price fluctuations and pricing diversification, planned development, capital and operating cost and other projections, resource estimates, permitting and development activities, our planned exploration and drilling programs and results, commodity recovery rates, the availability of future financing for acquisitions or exploration, the regulatory approval of our planned operations, the expected advantages of in-situ mining in relation to capital costs, operating costs and environmental impact and other plans, transactions, projections, estimates and expectations. Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, the risks and uncertainties outlined in our most recent financial statements and reports and registration statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (available at www.sec.gov) and with Canadian securities administrators (available at www.sedar.com). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Cautionary Statement for US Investors concerning estimates of mineral resources and potential target mineral resources: Mineral resources disclosed in this presentation and in the NI 43-101 technical reports referenced herein have been estimated in accordance with the definition standards on mineral resources and mineral reserves of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in National Instrument 43-101, commonly referred to as "NI 43-101". The NI 43-101 technical report on the Arkose property dated February 27, 2008 includes estimations of potential mineral resources for further targeted exploration by the issuer, disclosed pursuant to the applicable provisions of NI 43-101.The NI 43-101 technical reports referenced herein are a requirement of NI 43-101 and includes estimations of mineral resources and potential mineral resources for further targeted exploration by the issuer disclosed pursuant to the applicable provisions of NI 43-101. As a company listed on the TSX, we are required by Canadian law to provide disclosure in accordance with NI 43-101. US reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and included in the SEC's Securities Act Industry Guide 7 entitled "Description of Property by Issuers Engaged or to be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations" ("Guide 7"). NI 43-101 and Guide 7 standards are substantially different. For example, the terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101. These definitions differ from the definitions in Guide 7. The NI 43-101 technical reports and this presentation use or may use the terms "mineral resource“, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource”, “Inferred mineral resource”, "potential uranium exploration target", "potential mineral resource", "potential mineral deposit" and "potential target mineral resource". US Investors are advised that these terms and concepts are set out in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101 as information material to the issuer; however, these terms and concepts are not recognized by the SEC or included in Guide 7, and these terms and concepts are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. US Investors should be aware that the issuer has no "reserves" as defined by Guide 7 and are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an inferred mineral resource or potential target mineral resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category or confirmed or converted into Guide 7 compliant "reserves". US Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a potential target mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
