2007July 19, 2007Uranerz Stakes More Powder River Basin ClaimsCasper, Wyoming, July 19, 2007 - Uranerz Energy Corporation (AMEX:URZ) is pleased to announce the staking of an additional 123 claims in the Pumpkin Buttes mining district of the Powder River Basin, Wyoming. These new claims are all located in the Uranerz Powder River ISR Complex area. Ten of these claims are located in our North Nichols project area where drilling information indicated the presence of ore grade uranium mineralization. This property is in close proximity (approximately 3 miles) from the Nichols Ranch project which is currently being permitted for production, including a processing facility complete with drying and packaging circuits for finished yellowcake product.

Forty-four additional claims were staked in the vicinity of the East Nichols project covering reduction oxidation geochemical roll fronts which are commonly associated with uranium mineralization in this area. An additional sixty-nine claims were also staked in the Southern corner of our Powder River ISR Complex between our C -- Line and Willow Creek projects. The staking of these claims was based on the projection of geochemical oxidation/reduction fronts between the two projects. This area is approximately 1 mile west of the of the Hank satellite uranium concentration project which is also being permitted at this time.

"The Powder River Basin has proven to be a major area for uranium mineralization," stated Kurtis Brown, Senior Vice President of Exploration, "Using current and historical data, we will continually pursue claim staking and land acquisition in this area on property we feel has the potential for economic uranium in-situ recovery mining."

Uranerz Energy Corporation has expertise in in-situ recovery uranium mining and holds a number of properties in Wyoming with uranium-mineralized sandstone. Several of the Powder River Basin uranium properties are advanced, and the Company has initiated environmental licensing and mine planning for the development of two of these properties, the Hank and Nichols Ranch projects.
