Section 1 REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Uranerz Energy Corporation (“We” or the “Company”) has entered into subscription agreements with an aggregate of eighty-one investors for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of 5,245,000 units (the “units”) at a price of $0.40 per unit for total gross proceeds of $2,098,000. Each unit is comprised of one share of the Corporation’s common stock (each a “share”) and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each a “warrant”). Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share for a period of one year from the date of issue. We have paid a commission equal to 6% on a portion of the funds raised from the sale of the units. Details of the sales of the Units are provided in Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

SECTION 3 SECURITIES AND TRADING MARKETS

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

We have completed the following sales of equity securities in transactions that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and that have not been reported on our previously filed periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”):

1.

On October 17, 2005, we completed a private placement with fifteen investors of 1,132,500 Units at a price of $0.40 per Share for total proceeds of $453,000 pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Act. We will pay a commission equal to 6% of some of the funds raised in connection with the completion of the offering. The sales were completed pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Act on the basis that each investor is an “accredited investor”, as defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Act. Each investor represented to us their intent to acquire the securities for investment purposes for their own account. No general solicitation or general advertising was undertaken in connection with the offering. All securities issued were endorsed with a restrictive legend confirming that the securities could not be resold without registration under the Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.
  
2.

On October 17, 2005, we completed a private placement with sixty-six investors of 4,112,500 Units at a price of $0.40 per Unit for total proceeds of $1,645,000 pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Act. We will pay a commission equal to 6% of some of the funds raised in connection with the completion of the offering. We completed the offering of the Units pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Act on the basis that the sale of the Units was completed in an “offshore transaction”, as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. We did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as defined in Regulation S, in the United States in connection with the sale of the Units. The investors represented to us that the investors were not U.S. persons, as defined in Regulation S, and were not acquiring the Units for the account or benefit of a U.S. person. The subscription agreements executed between us and the investors included statements that the securities had not been registered pursuant to the Act and that the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States unless the securities are registered under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from the Act. The investors agreed by execution of the subscription agreement for the Units: (i) to resell the securities purchased only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act; (ii) that we are required to refuse to register any sale of the securities purchased unless the transfer is in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act; and (iii) not to


  engage in hedging transactions with regards to the securities purchased unless in compliance with the Act. All securities issued were endorsed with a restrictive legend confirming that the securities had been issued pursuant to Regulation S of the Act and could not be resold without registration under the Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.

In aggregate we issued a total of 5,245,000 shares and 2,622,500 warrants, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share until October 17, 2006.
