ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

         Uranium Resources, Inc. (the "Company") announced that it entered into
a definitive agreement with Texas regulatory authorities and the Company's
bonding company that provides the Company access to up to $2.3 million of
Company funds pledged to secure the Company's restoration bonds. The funds are
being used by the Company to perform restoration at the Company's Kingsville
Dome and Rosita mine sites in South Texas. The term of the agreement extends
through the end of 2001.

         The Company also announced that it has received notification that the
Company does not meet the eligibility rules for quotation on the OTC Bulletin
Board. The Company's non-compliance results from the filing of its Annual Report
Form on 10-K for 1999 with unaudited financial statements (as previously
reported on March 30, 2000).

         Beginning with trading on October 16, 2000 the Company's trading symbol
on the OTCBB was changed to URIXE and its common stock will continue to be
eligible for trading on the OTCBB under this symbol through November 13, 2000.
The Company is reviewing the alternatives for its trading markets beyond such
date, which may include the option of requesting the Company's market makers to
offer quotations for trading the Company's common stock in the "Pink Sheets".

         Uranium Resources, Inc. is a Dallas based uranium-mining company, whose
shares trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol URIX. The Company
specializes in in-situ solution mining and holds substantial uranium resources
in South Texas and New Mexico.
