Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ:URRE) reported its results for the third quarter. Loss narrowed to $2.8 million (loss of 3 cents per diluted share) from $3.7 million (loss of 4 cents per share) in the same quarter a year earlier.

Don Ewigleben, President and CEO of URI, commented, “Challenging drilling conditions, coupled with higher equipment costs due to increased industry demand, caused Phase I expenses to be higher than anticipated. This resulted in fewer than desired drilled holes and about two additional months of exploration time. Nonetheless, we remain encouraged with the properties potential and we are currently in discussions with CTI on the potential start date of Phase II work.”
