U.S. ENERGY CORP. & SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1) Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2007, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, have been prepared by the Company without audit. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2006 was derived from financial statements audited by Moss Adams, LLP, independent public accountants, as indicated on their report for the year ended December 31, 2006, (which report is not included in this Form 10-Q Report). In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 2006 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates based on certain assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

2) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries at September 30, 2007 include the accounts of the Company, the accounts of its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries Crested Corp. (“Crested”) (70.1%), USECC Joint Venture ("USECC"), a consolidated joint venture which is equally owned by the Company and Crested, through which the bulk of their operations are conducted, Sutter Gold Mining Inc. (“Sutter”) (54.4%) and Plateau Resources Limited, Inc. (“Plateau”) (100%). The consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and the Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 also included the accounts of two additional controlled subsidiaries Four Nines Gold, Inc. ("FNG") (50.9%) and Yellow Stone Fuels, Inc. (“YSFI”) (35.9%). Both Four Nines Gold Inc. and Yellow Stone Fuels, Inc. were dissolved during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The Company received $198,400 cash, carried as an account receivable at September 30, 2007, as a result of the dissolution of Four Nines Gold and $44,600 in cash, which also was carried as an account receivable at September 30, 2007, as a result of the dissolution of YSFI. The Company also purchased 21,868 shares of it’s common stock valued at a five day Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") of $4.40 per share from YSFI prior to YSFI being dissolved and three pieces of equipment from FNG that were appraised by a third party and valued at $59,000.

Investments in joint ventures and 20% to 50% owned companies are accounted for using the equity method. Because of management control and debt to the Company which may be converted to equity, YSFI was consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. Investments of less than 20% are accounted for by the cost method. All material inter-company profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated.

3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FIN 48 In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a model recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements, the impact of an uncertain tax position, if it is not more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, goodwill, deferred income taxes and income taxes payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of FIN 48 had no significant impact on the financial statements of the Company at September 30, 2007.

FAS 157 In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions for FAS 157 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We do not believe the adoption of this statement will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

FAS 159 In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on our financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations when adopted.

4) Stock Based Compensation

Stock Options - The Company accounts for all stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123R, “Share Based Payment” which requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation in operations. Stock-based compensation primarily consists of stock options. Stock options are granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the dates of grant.

Historically, options vested fully at time of grant and expire 90 days after the employee voluntarily terminates their employment with the Company and twelve months after retirement, disability or death. During the most recent 12 months the Company has altered the vesting plans for new option grants to have them vest over three to seven years. The Company recognizes the stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. The Company provides newly issued shares to satisfy stock option exercises. See Note 13.

Forfeitable Shares – In connection with the retirement of an officer of the Company in January 2007, 112,680 previously forfeitable shares were released to the former officer pursuant to the Stock Bonus Plan. On June 22, 2007 the shareholders of the Company voted to release the remaining 180,060 similar forfeitable shares to various officers and employees. The Board of Directors cancelled an additional 4,800 shares of previously forfeitable shares which had been issued to an employee who left the employment of the Company. The shareholders additionally authorized the payment of taxes on the forfeitable shares distributed. See Note 20.

5) Properties and Equipment

The components of Properties and Equipment at September 30, 2007, consist of land, buildings and equipment.

The Company evaluates assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that recorded values may not be recoverable. There were no impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

6) Marketable Securities

The Company accounts for its marketable securities as (1) held-to-maturity, (2) available-for-sale and (3) trading. The Company holds short-term securities which have maturities of greater than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase. These securities are classified as held-to-maturity based on the Company's intent to hold such securities to the maturity date. All held-to-maturity securities are U.S. Government securities and are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Income related to these securities is reported as a component of interest income. The Company's available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized gain or (loss) recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity. If a decline in fair value of held-to-maturity securities is determined to be other than temporary, the investment is written down to fair value. Based on the Company's intent to sell the securities, its equity securities are reported as trading securities.

The components of deferred taxes as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2007		2006
Deferred tax assets:
Deferred compensation	$	468,900	$	589,000
Accrued reclamation		37,900		879,100
Allowances for bad debts				-
Tax basis in excess of book		202,000		-

Non-deductible reserves and other		253,500		2,900
Total deferred tax assets		962,300		16,040,300

Deferred tax liabilities:

Book basis in excess of tax basis		251,100		179,900
Accrued reclamation				926,400
Non-deductible reserves and other				2,200
Total deferred tax liabilities		251,100		1,108,500

Net deferred tax assets		711,200		14,931,800
Valuation allowance
Net deferred tax assets	$	711,200		14,931,800

A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is required when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No valuation allowance is provided at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be utilized.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net current deferred tax assets decreased by $14,068,100 and net non-current deferred tax assets decreased by $152,500. The total net change in deferred tax assets was a decrease of $14,220,600 The Company also recognized other comprehensive income of $292,100 resulting from the tax benefit related to the mark to market of assets held for resale. Accordingly the total deferred income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $14,512,700. The decrease in net deferred tax assets was largely the result of the utilization of net operating losses and the relief of accrued reclamation liabilities resulting from the Uranium One sale.

On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). Pursuant to FIN 48, the Company identified and evaluated any potential uncertain tax positions. The Company has concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrued interest or penalties at September 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.

10) Earnings Per Share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock, if dilutive. These options and warrants totaled 5,867,729 and 5,763,711 at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

11) Long term debt

At September 30, 2007 long term debt consists of debt for the purchase of equipment and insurance policies at various interest rates and due dates:

Current Portion of Long Term Debt	$	78,600

Long Term Portion of Debt		228,400
	$	307,000

12) Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company accounts for the reclamation of its mineral properties pursuant to SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation.” Under the provisions of this statement, the Company records the estimated fair value of the reclamation liability on its mineral properties as of the date that the liability is incurred with a corresponding increase in the property’s book value. Actual costs could differ from those estimates. The Company deducts any actual funds expended for reclamation from the asset retirement obligations during the quarter in which it occurs. The reclamation liabilities are reviewed each quarter to determine whether estimates for the total asset retirement obligation are sufficient to complete the reclamation work required.

13) Shareholders’ Equity

Stock Option Plans

In December 2001, the Board of Directors adopted (and the shareholders approved) the U.S. Energy Corp. 2001 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "2001 ISOP") for the benefit of USE's key employees. The 2001 ISOP reserves for issuance shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 25% of the Company’s shares of common stock issued and outstanding at any time. The 2001 ISOP has a term of 10 years.

On July 27, 2007 the Compensation Committee of the Company granted 1,558,000 stock options to employees and officers of the Company under the 2001 ISOP. These options vest over three years (358,000) and five years (1,200,000) and are exercisable at the closing price on July 27, 2007 or $4.97 per share.

The weighted average remaining contractual term and aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at September 30, 2007 was 7.05 years and $3,581,200, respectively. At September 30, 2007, 1,558,000 of the options granted were not vested. During the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2007, the Company recognized $326,000 and $334,900, respectively in compensation expense related to employee options and will recognize an additional $4,768,100 over the remaining vesting period of five years. The Company computes the fair values of its options granted using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The options issued in 2007 were valued under Black Scholes using a risk free interest rate of 4.82%, expected life of 10 years and expected volatility of 48.8%. To estimate expected lives of options for this valuation, it was assumed options will be exercised at the end of their expected lives. All options are initially assumed to vest. Cumulative compensation cost recognized in pro forma net income or loss with respect to options that are forfeited prior to vesting is adjusted as a reduction of pro forma compensation expense in the period of forfeiture.

Warrants to Others

From time to time the Company issues stock purchase warrants to non-employees for services.

Common Stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company issued 1,502,214 shares of common stock and released 292,740 previously forfeitable shares of its common stock. Issued shares consist of 3,812 shares issued to independent directors, 42,500 shares issued to officers of the Company pursuant to the 2001 Stock Compensation Plan, 977,015 net shares issued as a result of the exercise of employee options, 186,147 shares issued as the result of the exercise of warrants. The 292,740 previously forfeitable shares were released due to the retirement of an officer and a vote by the shareholders on June 22, 2007 to release all remaining forfeitable shares. An additional 4,800 forfeitable shares were cancelled due to the cessation of employment of an employee prior to his retirement, disability or death. The forfeitable shares are expensed at the trading value of the shares on the date of issuance. At the time of release of the forfeitable shares any additional expense is recorded using the market price at the time of release and the initial grant price.

The 2001 Incentive Stock Ownership Plan allows employees to exercise options by surrendering shares he or she owns for the exercise of options. Employees exercised a total of 689,590 options by surrendering 282,527 shares which resulted in a net 407,063 shares being issued as a result of employee exercise of options through the surrender of previously owned shares. Additionally, employees, a retired officer and the estate of a deceased officer exercised 569,952 options by paying $1,646,100 cash. The net number of shares issued through the surrender of previously owned shares, 407,063, and the cash exercise of 569,952 options resulted in the issuance of 977,015 shares as a result of the exercise of employee options.

(Continued)

On August 31, 2007 the Company obtained construction financing from a commercial bank in the amount of $18.5 million. The construction loan matures on March 1, 2009, bears interest at 2.25% over 30 day LIBOR and required a 0.75% origination fee. The Company can make a one time extension election under the terms of the promissory note to extend the due date to September 1, 2009. Collateral for the promissory note is the Remington property, a guarantee by USE and a deposit of an additional $4.7 million with the commercial bank, held in an interest bearing account, that is to be released to the Company upon obtaining permanent financing.

The equity contribution by the Company for the construction loan is $7.5 million or approximately 29% of the total build cost. At the closing of the construction financing the Company received an equity credit on the property for previously paid costs of $3.0 million and was required to place $4.5 million in escrow with the commercial bank. At September 30, 2007, a total of $981,700 had been drawn from this account. During September 2007, the Company had $3,129,400 recorded as an accounts payable relating to the construction of Remington. Under the terms of the USECC Joint Venture, Crested will be responsible to USE for one-half of all development expense.

Our real estate investment in multi-family housing is subject to market changes in the housing industry as well as market prices for natural gas and coal. As the multi-family housing project currently under construction is not yet complete, an assessment of the significance of the market risk for rental properties and minerals cannot be assessed at September 30, 2007. It is projected that the property will begin to be occupied during the first quarter of 2008 and completed during the fourth quarter of 2008. At that time, the market risk for rental properties as well as the forecast for natural gas and coal production will be analyzed to determine if there will be an impact on the value of the constructed multi-family housing.

15) Crested Acquisition

On January 23, 2007, the Company and Crested entered into a plan and agreement of merger (the “merger agreement”) for the proposed acquisition of the minority shares of Crested (approximately 29.1% was not owned by the Company at the time of the acquisition proposal was made which had changed to 29.9% as of September 30, 2007 due to the exercise of some Crested options) and the subsequent merger of Crested into the Company. The merger agreement was approved by all directors of both companies. The exchange ratio of 1 of the Company’s shares for each 2 Crested shares (not owned by the Company) was negotiated between the special committees of independent directors of both companies, and approved by the full boards of both companies on December 20, 2006. On October 25, 2007 the Company’s Form S-4 for the merger was cleared for mailing to the shareholders of Crested. The annual meeting for the vote of Crested shareholders is set for November 26, 2007.

Management believes that the merger of Crested into the Company will enhance shareholder value due to consolidation of assets, simplification of reporting requirements and the application of all resources to one company. It is anticipated that the merger will occur during the fourth quarter of 2007.

On August 7, 2007, the Town of Crested Butte issued a temporary moratorium on development activities within its watershed that were not ongoing at the effective date of the moratorium. Company management believes that the Lucky Jack Project should not be affected by this moratorium and they are continuing all ongoing activities while reviewing and evaluating the matter. The Company, Crested, and Kobex intend to work with the Town to proceed with necessary rehabilitation activities, in a manner which will be consistent with Ordinance 23 and other applicable rules, regulations, and statutes. However, the timing of expected revisions to the Watershed Protection District Ordinance, and the nature of such revisions, are not predicted. As a result, it is possible that unexpected delays, and/or increased costs, may be encountered in developing a new mine plan for the Lucky Jack property.

22) Oil and Gas Exploration Activities

U.S. Energy Corp. has signed an Exploration and Area of Mutual Interest agreement with a Gulf Coast (United States) oil and gas exploration and production company. U.S. Energy Corp. anticipates it will participate as a 20% working interest partner in potentially numerous wells that could be drilled over the next three to five years. Approximately $3 million has been paid under the agreement to date. Two prospects have already been leased, and exploration and development activities are expected to commence in the later part of the fourth quarter 2007 or the first quarter of 2008.

U.S. Energy Corp. believes that numerous prospects could be generated, leased and drilled potentially resulting in $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 in exploration and development expenditures for its working interest over the course of the anticipated three to five year program.

23) Subsequent Event

On October 25, 2007 the Company sold its commercial real estate operations in southern Utah to Uranium One for $2.7 million and recognized approximately $840,000 in profit from the sale. After the sale of these properties the Company has no further holdings of real estate or commercial operations in Utah. The Company agreed to indemnify Uranium One on certain title issues not covered by the Title Insurance Policy that may arise in the future until a new lease is signed between the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration of Utah and Uranium One.

Overview of Business

U.S. Energy Corp. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries historically have been involved in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of properties prospective for hard rock minerals including lead, zinc, silver, molybdenum, gold, uranium, and oil and gas. The Company also has been engaged in the past in commercial real estate, on a limited basis, in connection with acquiring mineral properties which included commercial real estate.

The Company manages its operations through a joint venture, the USECC Joint Venture ("USECC"), with one of its subsidiary companies, Crested Corp. ("Crested") of which it owns a consolidated 70.1% interest. The narrative discussion of this MD&A refers only to the Company but includes the consolidated financial statements of Crested, USECC, Sutter Gold Mining, Inc. ("Sutter") and Plateau Resources Limited, Inc. ("Plateau"). The Company has entered into partnerships through which it either joint ventured or leased properties with non-related parties for the development and production of certain of its mineral properties. The Company had no production from any of its mineral properties during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Recent Developments

Sale of Uranium Assets

On April 30, 2007, the Company sold all of its uranium assets, with the exception of a 4% Net Profits Royalty on the Green Mountain uranium property in Wyoming, to sxr Uranium One Inc. (“Uranium One”). Uranium One is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Johannesburg Stock Exchange under the symbol “UUU”. At closing, the Company received (a) $1,585,100 in reimbursable costs relating to work performed on the uranium properties, (b) $5,020,900 as a result of Uranium One purchasing of the Uranium Power Corp. (“UPC”) position in the properties and (c) 6,607,605 shares of Uranium One common stock valued at the date of closing at $99,400,600. The Company sold all of the Uranium One shares during the second and third quarters of 2007 for which it received $90,724,000. The Company also received the cash and collateral bonds posted for asset retirement obligations relating to the uranium properties.

-24-

Pursuant to the terms of the Uranium One contract, the Company will also receive $20,000,000 when commercial production begins at the uranium mill the Company sold to Uranium One; $7,500,000 when the first delivery of ore, after commercial production commences, from any of the uranium properties the Company sold to Uranium One; and a production royalty of up to $12,500,000. The Company also retained a 4% Net Profits Royalty on the Green Mountain uranium property in central Wyoming; this property is owned and operated by Rio Tinto, Inc.

Acquisition of Crested

The boards of directors of the Company and Crested have approved a recommendation of the Special Committees of both boards, consisting of outside directors of both companies, to merge Crested into the Company. The exchange ratio is one share of the Company’s common stock for every two shares of Crested. It is anticipated that the merger will be concluded, if approved by the Crested shareholders, during the fourth quarter of 2007. (See Note 15 above)

On July 31, 2007, U.S. Energy Corp. (“USE”) and its majority owned subsidiary Crested Corp. (“Crested”) signed an amendment to the plan and agreement of merger (the “merger agreement”) for the proposed acquisition of the minority shares of Crested (approximately 29.1% at the time of the acquisition proposal was made which changed to 29.9% as of September 30, 2007 due to the exercise of some Crested options) not owned by USE (approximately 71%), and the subsequent merger of Crested into USE.

The amendment (i) extends the deadline for merger approval to December 31, 2007; and (ii) provides that Crested will pay the income tax which will be owed by each holder of a non-qualified stock option upon exercise thereof, and forfeitable shares, provided that each such holder executes and delivers to USE an agreement (a “lockup agreement”) not to sell (until retirement, death or disability) any of the USE stock they receive in the merger, in exchange for the Crested stock acquired on exercise of the Crested non-qualified stock option. USE has agreed to vote the shares of the Company it owns with the majority of the minority of the Company shareholders. Officers and directors of the Company and USE have agreed to vote in favor of the merger.

Stock Buy Back Plan

The Board of Directors of the Company approved a share buy back program for up to $5 million in common stock. The buy back program is being administered exclusively through an individual brokerage firm and is subject to blackout periods. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had purchased 228,000 shares of its common stock under the terms of this plan at an average purchase price of $4.54 per share.

Dividend

On July 16, 2007, the Company paid a one time cash dividend to all common shareholders of record on July 6, 2007. The total amount paid out for the dividend was $2,108,300.

Lucky Jack Molybdenum Property – Kobex Resources, Ltd.

On April 3, 2007, the Company and Kobex Resources Ltd. (“Kobex”) (a British Columbia company traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “KBX”) signed a formal Exploration Development and Mine Operating Agreement for the permitting and development of the Mt. Emmons, “Lucky Jack”, molybdenum property.

-25-

Pursuant to the April 3, 2007 agreement, Kobex is required to expend $16,000,000 in expenditures on the property through December 2010. On July 6, 2007, Kobex announced its budget for its first year of operations through April of 2008 would be $14,200,000. Kobex will not own an interest in the Lucky Jack property until it has expended $15,000,000 at which time it will own 15%. After spending an additional $35,000,000, the ownership interest for Kobex will be 50%. At the Company’s sole discretion, Kobex also may acquire an additional 15% at the Company’s option after it obtains a 50% interest if certain terms and conditions are met. As of September 30, 2007, Kobex had expended $5,435,300 since it began participating in the costs of the project.

Historical records filed by predecessor owners of the property with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the 1990’s for the application of patented mineral claims, referenced identification of mineral resources of some 220 million tons of 0.366% molybdic disulfide (MoS₂) mineralization. A high grade section of the mineralization containing some 22.5 million tons at a grade of 0.701% MoS₂ was also reported. No assurance can be given that these quantities of MoS₂exist. The average market price for MoS₂at September 30, 2007 was $31.75 per pound.

On August 7, 2007, the Town of Crested Butte issued a temporary moratorium on development activities within its watershed that were not ongoing at the effective date of the moratorium. Company management believes that the Lucky Jack Project should not be affected by this moratorium and they are continuing all ongoing activities while reviewing and evaluating the matter. The Company, Crested, and Kobex intend to work with the Town to proceed with necessary rehabilitation activities, in a manner which will be consistent with Ordinance 23 and other applicable rules, regulations, and statutes. However, the timing of expected revisions to the Watershed Protection District Ordinance, and the nature of such revisions are not predicted. As a result, it is possible that unexpected delays, and/or increased costs, may be encountered in developing a new mine plan for the Lucky Jack property.

Oil and Gas Development

The Company has signed an Exploration and Area of Mutual Interest agreement with a Gulf Coast (United States) oil and gas exploration and production company. As a result of this agreement, the Company anticipates it will participate as a 20% working interest partner in potentially numerous wells that could be drilled over the next three to five years. Approximately $3 million has been paid under the agreement to date. Two prospects have already been leased, and exploration and development activities are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2008.

The Company believes that numerous prospects could be generated, leased and drilled, potentially resulting in $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 in exploration and development expenditures for its working interest over the course of the anticipated three to five year program.

Remington Village

On May 10, 2007, the Company through its subsidiary, Remington Village, LLC (“Remington”) acquired approximately 10.15 acres of land located in Gillette, Wyoming. The Company is in the process of constructing 216 multi-family housing units on the property. Construction costs to completion are budgeted to be $26,011,000. Under the terms of the USECC Joint Venture, Crested will be responsible to USE for one-half of all development expense. See Note 14 above.

Results of Operations

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 compared with the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

The sale of uranium assets to Uranium One resulted in net income before minority interest and income taxes of $93,916,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This is an increase in earnings before taxes of $104,272,400 from the reported loss of $10,356,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007 the Company recognized a loss before income taxes of $3,271,600 as compared to a loss of $2,933,700 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Net earnings after taxes for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 were $57,227,200 and a loss of $750,000 respectively or a gain of $2.86 per share basic, $2.61 diluted per share, for the nine months and a loss of $0.04 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Operating revenues for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 increased by approximately $325,900 over the comparative periods ended September 30, 2006. The reason for the increase during the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2007 was primarily due to the Company selling residential lots at the Company’s commercial real estate property in southern Utah for $663,400. This increase in operating revenues was offset by reductions in non-recurring fees earned from mineral companies for due diligence work which was completed during September 2006 in the amount of $250,000. The Company projects an increase in future periods, beginning during the first quarter of 2008, from real estate operations. The Company likewise expects commencement of revenues during the fourth quarter of 2008 from oil and gas wells it expects to drill during the first quarter of 2008.

Operating costs and expenses increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 by $1,784,200 over those recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase came as a result of increased activity on the Company’s mineral claims, $107,500, the vast majority of which were sold to Uranium One and General and Administrative expenses which increased by $1,647,800 primarily as a result of employee compensation. Components of that compensation are (1) a cash bonus of $4,887,000 gross cash bonus to all employees for extraordinary service related to the April 30, 2007 sale of uranium assets to Uranium One; (2) each outside director was paid a one time bonus of $40,000 at the closing of the Uranium One sale, and (3) on June 22, 2007, the shareholders of the Company approved the payment of $649,500 in taxes owed by officers and employees, upon the release to them of forfeitable shares of the Company’s common stock. These shares had been issued to individuals in the early 1990s, and have been recorded at issue dates on the books as compensation expense, but the stock was held by the Company; recognition of income by the recipients was deferred pending vesting upon retirement, total disability or death.

Operating Costs and Expenses for the Quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006 decreased by $3,768,600. Converse to the nine months ended September 30, 2007 both mineral holding costs and general and administrative costs decreased during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Mineral property costs and expenses decreased during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 due primarily to the uranium mineral properties being sold to Uranium One in April of 2007. General and Administrative costs and expenses decreased during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006 due to a bonus being paid to employees during the quarter in 2006 of $3,013,000 while no similar bonus was paid during the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

-27-

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded $1,962,000 from the gain on the sale of assets as compared to a gain on the sale of assets of $3,063,500 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This reduction of $1,001,500 was as a result of a reduction in the payments received from UPC during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period of the previous year. The reduction in payments from UPC is as a result of the sale of the uranium assets to Uranium One. The Company will receive no additional payments in the future from UPC. An offset to the reduction of UPC payments was the receipt of 285,632 shares of Kobex common stock valued at $750,000. These shares were delivered pursuant to the agreement with Kobex as option payments. As a result of the signing of the Exploration, Development and Mine Operating Agreement on April 3, 2007, this option payment of $750,000 and the $50,000 cash earnest money deposit paid in 2006 were recorded as sale of asset revenues.

The shares of Uranium One were recorded at April 30, 2007 at the then market price for Uranium One common shares of $15.04 per share. The sale of all of the Uranium One shares (6,607,605 shares) at an average net sales price of $13.68 per share resulted in a loss of $8,997,600 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of. Included in this net loss are commissions and a bulk discount of $2,568,800. The balance is due to a reduction in the market price of the Uranium One shares.

Along with the sale of the Uranium One common stock, the Company sold its remaining shares of UPC common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As a result of the sale of these 1,500,000 shares of common stock of UPC, the Company recognized a net gain of $774,700. The Company also recorded a $95,500 loss on the sale of units of Enterra Energy Trust (“Enterra”) by one of its subsidiaries. The sales of the shares of Uranium One, and UPC and the Enterra units resulted in a net loss from the sale of marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $8,318,400. Sales of marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 consisted of the sale of Enterra Energy Trust units and resulted in a net loss of $860,500.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 the Company recorded gain based on foreign exchange rates of $430,000 and a loss of $86,600 during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The nine month gain was as a result of the sale of the sale of Uranium One common stock, $321,000; the receipt of additional shares of Sutter common stock in payment of debt to USECC, $109,000.

The sale of the Company’s uranium assets to Uranium One resulted in a net gain before taxes of $111,728,200 during nine months ended September 30, 2007. (See Note 17 above) Interest income increased by $1,643,800 and $1,026,700 during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 respectively over the comparative periods of the prior year. The increase is due to larger amounts of cash invested in interest bearing accounts and securities.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 the Company recorded a gain from the sale of its investment in Pinnacle Gas Resources, Ltd. of $10,842,300. The Company also settled a litigation expense relating to the return of the Lucky Jack property from Phelps Dodge in the amount of $7,000,000. There were no similar revenues or expensed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

-28-

The Company recorded a minority interest in the loss of consolidated subsidiaries of $147,200 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. This amount of minority interest in the loss of consolidated subsidiaries during the quarter came as a result of the reduction of the Company’s ownership of Crested during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Previously the Company’s ownership of Crested for year to date earnings had been reported at a higher ownership percentage. The Company reported minority interest in the gain of consolidated subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $3,551,400. The minority interest gain in consolidated subsidiaries recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily the minority interest gain of $3,555,900 of Crested. This amount was offset by a net minority loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $4,500 from two small consolidated subsidiaries. On a consolidated basis, all previous minority interest losses of Crested that were absorbed by the Company in consolidation have been fully reinstated through September 30, 2007.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 the Company recorded losses from the valuation of derivatives and the exchange of the Enterra units. The Enterra units were sold prior to the nine months ended September 30, 2007 so there was no similar activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

The net gain of $57,227,200 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 resulted in positive retained earnings for the Company of $16,017,000 from a accumulated deficit at December 31, 2006 of $39,101,900.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The liquidity position of the Company is the best it has ever been during its forty year history. At September 30, 2007, the Company had $78,095,600 in cash on hand and Government Treasury Bills. Current assets at September 30, 2007 were $83,099,700 as compared to current liabilities of $6,005,400. The Company therefore had working capital at September 30, 2007 of $77,094,300 and a current ratio of 13.8 to 1.

The Company reported two assets held for sale as of September 30, 2007. Those assets were the Ticaboo town site in southern Utah in the amount of $1,819,700 and a used corporate aircraft with a net book value of $1,112,500. The Ticaboo town site was sold on October 25, 2007 to Uranium One for $2,700,000 and the proceeds from this transaction have been placed in a 1031 exchange escrow account. Although a firm price cannot be established as of the date of this report for the corporate aircraft, management of the Company believes that it will be sold within the next twelve months.

Current liabilities at September 30, 2007 consisted primarily of income taxes payable of $1,569,700, accounts payable of $3,367,200 and accrued compensation of $761,800. The current portion of long term debt was $78,600. This debt, along with the long term portion of the Company’s debt at September 30, 2007 of $228,400, result in total debt owed by the Company of $307,000. All accounts payable at September 30, 2007 were current under the payment terms of the Company. The accounts payable balance primarly consists of amounts due to the general contractor for capital construction expenses related to the Company’s real estate development project, Remington Village (“Remington”), in the amount of $3,129,400.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $10,151,900 as a result of the Company investing cash proceeds from the sale of Uranium One shares into Government Treasury Bills which are classified as marketable securities; the payment of a cash dividend, the purchase of treasury shares; the purchase of oil and gas properties; the Remington real estate development property; the purchase of a corporate aircraft and other equipment; and the payment of income taxes. The Company held $71,274,000 in Government Treasury Bills at September 30, 2007 and considers them very liquid. These investments are considered Marketable Securities and are not cash equivalents as they have maturity dates, from date of purchase, in excess of 90 days.

-29-

Operations and Financing Activities consumed $28,101,100 and $4,764,200 respectively during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 while Investing Activities provided $22,713,400. Cash consumed in operations was expended on General and Administrative expenses, the payment of $15,640,300 of income tax estimates and the bonus paid to employees at the close of the Uranium One sale discussed above in Note 20.

Cash provided by investing activities came primarily as a result of the sale of uranium assets in the amount of $14,022,700; the sale of marketable securities of $92,250,700 (shares of Uranium One); the sale of property and equipment, $1,294,200; and the collection of a note receivable of $560,500 that related to a short term real estate loan during the fourth quarter of 2006. The sale of uranium assets relates to cash received from UPC for their interest in a joint contract with the Company; a payment received from Uranium One to purchase UPC’s contract obligations to the Company and the return of bond deposits as a result of the sale of uranium assets to Uranium One. These increases in cash from investing activities are offset by the purchase of Government Treasury Bills, $70,00,000; the purchase of unproven oil and gas properties, $2,894,100; the purchase of Remington, $6,595,200; and the purchase of property, plant and equipment, $5,586,700, which included a corporate aircraft. The Company also purchased certain mining claims for $259,200 which were ultimately sold to Uranium One.

Cash provided by financing activities came as a result of the issuance of common stock for which the Company received $2,284,100. The issuance of these shares was the result of the exercise of 569,952 options held by employees and 186,147 warrants held by third parties. One of the Company’s subsidiaries, Crested, received $342,000 as the result of the exercise of 200,000 options. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company retired $1,089,200 in long term debt which primarily related to a corporate aircraft. The Company also used $2,108,300 to pay a $0.10 per share dividend during the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2007. The payment of this dividend was a one time dividend and it is not known when or if another dividend will be paid. Under the terms of a stock buy back program the Company purchased 228,000 shares of its common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2007 for a net purchase price of $1,047,300. The Company was required by the commercial bank providing the construction financing for Remington to deposit $4,725,000 in an interest bearing account as additional collateral for the construction loan. Upon the retirement of the construction loan the deposit will be returned to the Company.

Capital Resources

Kobex Resources Ltd. Agreement

On April 3, 2007, the Company signed a formal Exploration, Development and Mine Operating Agreement providing Kobex an option to acquire up to a 50% interest in the Lucky Jack molybdenum property. Prior to Kobex expending $15 million it will not own an interest in the Lucky Jack property. At such time as Kobex sends $15 million it will own a 15% interest and after it expends a total of $50 million it will own a 50% interest in the Lucky Jack property. In the event that Kobex is able to deliver a bankable feasibility study on the Lucky Jack property prior to spending the $50 million it can pay the reminder of the $50 million directly to the Company to obtain its 50% interest. As a result of the Kobex agreement, it is not anticipated that any of the Company’s cash reserves will be consumed in permitting, development and maintenance of the property during the balance of 2007 and into the near term. As of September 30, 2007, Kobex had expended $5,435,300 on the project.

-30-

The principal financial benefit to be realized in 2007 and thereafter by the Company (if Kobex meets its contractual obligations) is that Kobex will fund substantially all costs and expenses which otherwise would have to be funded by the Company (including paying for the water treatment plant, obtain necessary permits, and have a bankable feasibility study prepared in advance of mining the property). In addition to the payment of operating, permitting and development costs, the contract also calls for option payments in the aggregate amount of $3,950,000 payable to the Company over five years payable in either cash or common shares of Kobex. These option payments began in 2007 and continue through December 2011. The first payment of $750,000 in Kobex common stock was made on May 23, 2007.

Cash on Hand

As discussed above, the Company has monetized certain of its assets which have provided significant amounts of cash that will continue to be used to fund general and administrative expenses, and possible exploration and development of new mineral properties as well as further real estate acquisitions and developments. The Company has invested its cash surplus in interest bearing accounts and U.S. Government Treasury Bills which will provide working capital to fund the Company’s projects.

Commercial Bank Line of Credit

The Company has a line of credit with a commercial bank in the amount of $5,000,000. The full line of credit was available to the Company at the time of this report. The line of credit has a variable interest rate which is tied to a national market rate. At the time of signing the line of credit, the rate of interest per annum was 7.75%. The line of credit is available until October 1, 2008 at which time it may be renewed depending on the financial strength and needs of the Company. The Company has pledged its corporate headquarters and one of its corporate aircraft as collateral for the line of credit.

Other

Due to the current levels of the market prices for gold and molybdenum, management of the Company believes that sufficient capital will be available to develop its mineral properties from strategic industry partners, debt financing, cash on hand, and the sale of equity or a combination thereof.

Capital Requirements

The Company believes that the current market prices for gold and molybdenum are at levels that warrant further exploration and development of the Company’s mineral properties. The successful development and production of these properties could enhance the liquidity and financial position of the Company. It is not possible to predict the future price of minerals and the ultimate economic liability of our projects.

The direct capital requirements of the Company during the fourth quarter of 2007 are its general and administrative costs, the balance of a $1,000,000 letter of credit to Sutter (see note 16 above), development of the Company’s interest in recently acquired oil and gas properties, the development of the Remington property, a stock buyback program, and the potential purchase of other assets.

Lucky Jack Molybdenum Property

As a result of the Exploration, Development and Mine Operating agreement entered into on April 3, 2007 with Kobex, it is not anticipated that the Company will have to expend its capital resources on the Lucky Jack project during the balance of 2007. Budgeted cash outlays by the Company to fund operations at Lucky Jack are reimbursed by Kobex. At September 30, 2007, Kobex owed the Company $781,500. Kobex has paid all the amounts due to the Company within 30 days of being invoiced and at the time of this report is current on its obligations to the Company. There have been no billing or operation disputes between Kobex and the Company.

Oil and Gas Development

The Company signed an Exploration and Area of Mutual Interest agreement with a Gulf Coast (United States) oil and gas exploration and production company. The Company anticipates it will participate as a 20% working interest partner in potentially numerous wells that could be drilled over the next three to five years. Through September 30, 2007, $2,894,100 had been paid under the agreement. Two prospects have already been leased, and exploration and development activities are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2008.

The Company believes that numerous prospects could be generated, leased and drilled potentially resulting in $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 in exploration and development expenditures for its working interest over the course of the anticipated three to five year program.

Sutter Gold Mining Inc. Properties

The Company and has agreed to provide Sutter with a $1,000,000 credit facility at 12% interest for a term of two years. The credit facility will be able to be drawn down over time in $50,000 increments and is repayable at the option of the Company either in cash or common stock of Sutter. The grant of the line of credit was subject to the approval of the TSX for the issuance of 7,621,868 shares of Sutter’s common stock to repay the Company and Crested for an existing $2,025,700 in debt as of December 31, 2006. Approval of the issuance of the shares was received on May 4, 2007 at which time the credit facility became available to Sutter. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had extended $363,500 to Sutter under the credit facility. The balance under the line of credit to Sutter as of September 30, 2007 was $636,500. The Company may elect, at its sole option, to receive payment of the line of credit in cash, common stock of Sutter or by the return of the Company’s and Crested’s common stock that Sutter owns. Management of the Company does not anticipate extending any further credit to Sutter. To fund its additional development and capital infrastructure commitments, Sutter will have to locate an industry partner, sell a portion or all of its position in the gold properties or seek equity or commercial financing.

Real Estate

On January 8, 2007, the Company, through its wholly owned limited liability company, Remington Village, LLC, signed a Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate to purchase approximately 10.15 acres of land located in Gillette, Wyoming for $1,247,700. The Company closed on the property on May 10, 2007. The Company also signed a Development Agreement with P.E.G. Development, LLC to obtain the entitlements and oversee the development of the property. Total land purchase and construction costs is estimated to be $26.1 million. At September 30, 2007 the Company had expended $6,595,200 on the project.

Reclamation Costs

At the close of the sale of the uranium properties to Uranium One, all asset retirement obligations relating to those assets were transferred to Uranium One. With the relief of those obligations, the Company only has obligations relating to the Sutter and Lucky Jack properties.

The asset retirement obligation for Sutter at September 30, 2007 is $23,500 which is covered by a cash bond. It is not anticipated that any cash resources will be used for asset retirement obligations at Sutter during the year ending December 31, 2007.

The asset retirement obligation for the Lucky Jack molybdenum property at September 30, 2007 is $108,100. It is not anticipated that this reclamation work will occur in the near term.

Equity Transactions

Stock Buy Back Program. The Board of Directors of the Company approved a share buy back program for up to $5 million in common stock. The buy back program became effective June 22, 2007, is being administered exclusively through an individual brokerage firm and is subject to blackout periods. Through September 30, 2007, the Company had repurchased 228,000 shares of its common stock for $1,047,300 leaving an additional $3,952,700 for the purchase of shares of the Company under the plan.

Other

The Company is evaluating several mineral and real estate projects in which it may invest. Additionally, the Company is researching several other opportunities to deploy its capital outside of the minerals business. At September 30, 2007 none of these acquisition targets had advanced past the evaluation stage.

Contractual Obligations

Contractual obligations at September 30, 2007 consist of debt to third parties of $307,000 and asset retirement obligations of $131,300. The debt will be paid over a period of five years and the asset retirement obligations will be satisfied during the next 34 years. The following table shows the scheduled debt payment and expenditures for budgeted asset retirement obligations:

Critical Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries at September 30, 2007 include the accounts of the Company, the accounts of its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, Crested (70.1%), USECC Joint Venture ("USECC"), a consolidated joint venture which is equally owned by the Company and Crested, through which the bulk of their operations are conducted Sutter (54.4%), and Plateau (100%). During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, Four Nines Gold, Inc. ("FNG") (50.9%) and Yellow Stone Fuels, Inc. (“YSFI”) (35.9%) were dissolved. These subsidiary or controlled companies were previously consolidated. The Company’s ownership of FNG and YSFI prior to dissolution was 50.9% and 35.9%, respectively.

Investments in joint ventures and 20% to 50% owned companies are accounted for using the equity method. Because of management control and debt to the Company which may be converted to equity, investments of less than 20% are accounted for by the cost method. All material inter-company profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its operating cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts which exceed federally insured limits. The Company invests its non operating cash in Federal Treasury Bills. At September 30, 2007, the Company had its cash and cash equivalents with several financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts and Notes Receivable - The majority of the Company's accounts receivable are due from industry partners for work related to its Lucky Jack project which the Company has paid, real estate rentals and management fees. The Company determines any required allowance by considering a number of factors including length of time trade accounts receivable are past due and the Company's previous loss history. The Company provides allowances for account and note receivable balances when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables and notes are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. At September 30, 2007 there was no provision for doubtful accounts.

Marketable Securities - The Company accounts for its marketable securities as (1) trading, (2) available-for-sale or (3) held-to-maturity. Based on the Company's intent to sell the securities, its equity securities are reported as a trading security. The Company's available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized gain or (loss) recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity. If a decline in fair value of held-to-maturity securities is determined to be other than temporary, the investment is written down to fair value.

Mineral Claims and Oil and Gas Properties - We follow the full cost method of accounting for all mineral properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, development and capital equipment as well as construction of plant relating to mineral properties are capitalized and are subject to ceiling tests to ensure the carrying value does not exceed the fair market value. All associated general and administrative as well as exploration costs and expenses associated with mineral properties are expensed when incurred.

All capitalized costs of mineral properties subject to amortization and the estimated future costs to develop proved and probable reserves are amortized by applying the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved and probable reserves. Investments in unproven properties and major construction and development projects are not amortized until proven reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs.

-34-

If the sum of estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is less than the carrying amount of the related asset, an asset impairment is considered to exist. The related impairment loss is measured by comparing estimated future cash flows on a discounted basis to the carrying amount of the asset. Changes in significant assumptions underlying future cash flow estimates may have a material effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. An uneconomic commodity market price, if sustained for an extended period of time, or an inability to obtain financing necessary to develop mineral interests, may result in asset impairment. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the capitalized cost of the property is expensed.

Asset Retirement Obligations - The Company records the fair value of the reclamation liability on its shut down mining properties as of the date that the liability is incurred. The Company reviews the liability each quarter and determines if a change in estimate is required as well as accretes the total liability on a quarterly basis for the future liability. Final determinations are made during the fourth quarter of each year. The Company deducts any actual funds expended for reclamation during the quarter in which it occurs.

Real Estate Held for Sale - The Company classifies Real Estate Held for Sale as assets that are not in production and management has made the decision to dispose of the assets.

The Company re-acquired by foreclosure sale the Ticaboo town site (“Ticaboo”) located in southern Utah near Lake Powell during 2006. Ticaboo includes a motel, restaurant and lounge, convenience store, recreational boat storage and service facility, and improved residential and mobile home lots. Most of these properties were acquired when the Shootaring Mill was acquired in 1993.

The Company has classified Ticaboo as a current asset, Real Estate Held for Sale. The carrying value of $1.8 million represents the cost basis of the asset after the re-acquisition and the write off of the corresponding note receivable. Ticaboo is under contract to be sold to Uranium One and management has made the determination that it is more likely than not that the property will be sold during the fourth quarter of 2007. Please see Note 23 above.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues are reported on a gross revenue basis and are recorded at the time services are provided or the commodity is sold. Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in income.

Income Taxes - The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets, liabilities and carry forwards. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets for the expected future effects of all deductible temporary differences, loss carry forwards and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits which, based on current circumstances, are not expected to be realized.

Use of Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the operating results, financial position, or liquidity of the Company due to adverse changes in market prices and rates. We are not exposed to material market risk due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold investments in debt securities nor do we hold assets or transact business in foreign currencies.

Our cash equivalents and Government Treasury Bills are exposed to financial market risk, including changes in interest rates. We typically do not attempt to reduce or eliminate our market exposures on these investment securities because of their short-term duration. We believe that the fair value of our investment portfolio or related income would not be significantly impacted by either a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of the major portion of our investment portfolio.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 240.13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There was no change in the Company’s internal controls that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

Material legal proceedings pending at September 30, 2007, and developments in those proceedings from that date to the date this Quarterly Report is filed, are summarized below. The status of the legal proceedings, which were pending during the year has either not changed, been settled or is otherwise immaterial. Except for matters involving water rights, the Company and Crested are not parties to any pending legal proceeding. SGMI is defending a quite title action to which the Company and Crested are not parties.

Water Rights Litigation – Lucky Jack Molybdenum Property

Prior to the transfer of the Lucky Jack molybdenum property (formerly the Mount Emmons property) from Phelps Dodge Corporation (“PD”) and Mount Emmons Mining Company (“MEMCO”) to the Company on February 28, 2006, MEMCO filed a number of Statements of Opposition in the Water Court, Water Division No. 4, State of Colorado to protect its existing water rights against applications filed by other parties seeking to appropriate or change water rights or perfect conditional water rights. Subsequent to transfer of the mine property, Motions for Substitution of Parties (from MEMCO to the Company) were filed and approved by the Water Court. These cases are as follows:

Concerning the Application for Water Rights of Virgil and Lee Spann Ranches, Inc., Case No. 03CW033, 03CW034, 03CW035, 03CW036 and 03CW037. These related cases involve the Spann Ranches, Inc.’s Water Court applications to change the point of diversion through alternative points for the purpose of rotating a portion of their senior water rights between ditches to maximize beneficial use in the event of a major downstream senior call. MEMCO filed Statements of Opposition to ensure that the final decrees to be issued by the Water Court contain terms and conditions sufficient to protect MEMCO’s water rights from material injury. These cases are pending, and the Company is awaiting proposed decrees from Applicant Spann Ranches, Inc. for consideration.

Concerning the Application for Water Rights of the Town of Crested Butte,Case No. 02CW63. This case involved an application filed by the Town of Crested Butte to provide for an alternative point of diversion. MEMCO filed a Statement of Opposition to ensure that the final decree to be issued by the Water Court contains terms and conditions sufficient to protect MEMCO’s water rights from material injury. The Town of Crested Butte and USECC reached a settlement and signed a Stipulation to protect USECC’s water rights pursuant to a proposed final decree. This Stipulation has been signed by the Water Referee and was approved by the Water Court on September 5, 2007. This case is now closed.

Concerning the Application of the United States of America in the Gunnison River, Gunnison County, Case No. 99CW267. This case involves an application filed by the United States of America to appropriate 0.033 cubic feet per second of water for wildlife use and for incidental irrigation of riparian vegetation at the Mt. Emmons Iron Bog Spring, located in the vicinity of the Lucky Jack property. MEMCO filed a Statement of Opposition to protect proposed mining operations against any adverse impacts by the water requirements of the Iron Bog on such operations. This case is pending while the parties attempt to reach a settlement on the proposed decree terms and conditions.

-37-

Concerning the Application for Water Rights of the United States of America for Quantification of Reserved Right for Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park, Case No. 01CW05. This case involves an application filed by the United States of America to make absolute conditional water rights claimed in the Gunnison River in relation to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park for, and to quantify in-stream flows for the protection and reproduction of fish and to preserve the recreational, scenic and aesthetic conditions. MEMCO and over 350 other parties filed Statements of Opposition to protect their existing water rights. On August 3, 2007, the Parties signed a Stipulation recognizing USECC and most other Opposers position is that the flows claimed by the United States should be subordinated to the historical operations of the federally owned and operated Aspinall Unit, and are subject to the provisions contained in the Aspinall Unit Subordination Agreement between the federal government and water districts which protect junior water users in the Upper Gunnison River Basin. This Stipulation has been submitted to the Water Court for approval. USECC’s water rights will be protected by this Stipulation and there is no need for USECC to be an active participant in future proceedings in this case, which will involve quantification of the in-stream flows claimed the United States of America for the Black Canyon Park.

Sutter Gold Mining Inc. - Quiet Title Litigation

In 2004, USECC Gold Limited Liability Company (a predecessor of Sutter) as plaintiff filed an action (USECC Gold Limited Liability Company vs. Nevada-Wabash Mining Company, et al, Case No. 04CV3419) in Superior Court of California, County of Amador) seeking to quiet title as vested in plaintiff to two patented mining claims at the Sutter Gold project. All but one of the approximately 54 defendants (dissolved private corporations and other entities, their stockholders and/or estates of deceased stockholders) has defaulted. Plaintiff and the remaining defendant continue to have settlement discussions. If a settlement is not reached, a trial on this mater is tentatively scheduled for November, 2007.

Sutter is confident that plaintiff would prevail on the merits in the event of trial. The subject property includes a portion of the existing decline prior to intercepting the mineralized resource at the Sutter Gold project. The remaining defendant claims a one-fifth interest in one of the two patented mining claims. If settlement discussions are not successful, and if plaintiff does not prevail at trial, defendant may be entitled to seek remedies related to the property, possibly including filing a partition action. The outcome of such post-trial proceedings (if commenced by defendant following an outcome adverse to plaintiff at trial) after filing a petition action cannot be predicted, but management does not expect any outcome to ultimately adversely affect Sutter’s plan of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors should be considered in evaluating the information in this Form 10-Q. The reader should also consider risk factors discussed in our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed on Form 10-K.

Risks Associated with Entry into New Areas of Business. The Company is entering into the multifamily housing business which has risks associated with it relating to a future decline in available renters and fluctuations in the local real estate market as well as local employment which is tied to the market price for natural gas and coal. As the multifamily housing unit has not yet been built, and a down turn in the real estate market in Gillette, Wyoming is not foreseen, management believes that the risk during the construction and initial occupation phase of the project will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. However, significant risk from a cash flow (and therefore debt service) perspective may develop in this sector after the initial occupation phase is completed, depending on occupancy and rent rates.

-38-

The Company is re-entering the oil and gas exploration business as of September 30, 2007. The cost of drilling, availability of take away capacity and oil and gas prices are risks that the Company will be exposed to. At the time of the filing of this report the Company is not able to assess the risk due to the early stage of the project.

Possible Need for Added Capital. Historically, working capital needs have been primarily met from receipt of funds from liquidating investments, selling partial interests in mineral properties and selling equity. Although the Company received significant cash proceeds from the sale of the uranium properties in April 2007, and has received additional cash from selling the Uranium One shares, the development and production of mineral properties is very capital intensive. The Luck Jack Property will take significant amounts of capital to place it into production. We may seek equity and/or debt financing for this purpose, which may result in dilution to current shareholders.

No recurring business revenues and uncertainties associated with transaction-based revenues. Presently the Company does not have an operating business with recurring revenues. Receipt of funds from selling interests in mineral properties, or liquidating investments in mineral properties (or the subsidiaries which hold properties) is unpredictable as to timing, structure, and profitability. For example, we began activities in the coalbed methane sector in 1999 by starting up RMG. RMG used, rather than provided, capital until it was sold to Enterra Energy Trust in June 2005. In 2003, we acquired stock in Pinnacle by RMG’s contribution of properties into Pinnacle, but we did not realize a return on the transaction until September 2006.

Working capital on hand is expected to be sufficient to fund general and administrative expenses, and conduct exploration and a limited amount of development work on the mineral properties as well as other business ventures we are pursuing, including multifamily housing. Although the Company currently has working capital, it will need to continue to seek funding from industry partners or sell equity or debt to develop all the projects. Also, it is anticipated the necessary capital for developing the Lucky Jack Molybdenum Property will be available through Kobex to obtain mining and other permits, further delineate the mineral resources underground, and plan the mining and processing operation. However, additional capital (the costs of which would be shared by the Company and Kobex) will be necessary to put the property into production.

The interest retained by the Company in the Lucky Jack molybdenum property is not expected to generate recurring revenues for several years. In addition, the mine plan of Phelps Dodge Corporation (from whom we received the property) and its predecessor companies encountered opposition from local and environmental groups, as well as municipal and county government agencies. That opposition will likely continue, and may result in unexpected delays and increased costs to get a new mine plan approved.

Uncertainties in the value of the mineral properties. While we believe that the mineral properties are valuable, substantial work and capital will be needed to establish whether they are in fact valuable.

The profitable mining and processing of gold by SGMI will also depend on many factors, including: receipt of permits and keeping in compliance with permit conditions; delineation through extensive drilling and sampling of sufficient volumes of mineralized material with sufficient grades to make mining and processing economic over time; continued sustained high prices for gold, and obtaining the capital required to initiate and sustain mining operations and build and operate a gold processing mill.

The Lucky Jack Property has been analyzed and explored by its prior owners. This data will have to be updated to the level of a current feasibility study to determine the viability of starting mining operations. Obtaining mining and other permits to begin mining the molybdenum property may be difficult, even with the assistance of Kobex. Capital requirements for a molybdenum mining operation will be substantial.

-39-

We have not yet obtained final feasibility studies on any of the mineral properties. These studies would establish the potential economic viability of the different properties based on extensive drilling and sampling; the design and costs to build and operate mills, the cost of capital, and other factors. Feasibility studies can take many months to complete. These studies are conducted by professional third-party consulting and engineering firms, and will have to be completed, at considerable cost, to determine if the deposits contain proved reserves (i.e., amounts of minerals in sufficient grades that can be extracted profitably under current commodity pricing assumptions and estimated for development and operating costs). A feasibility study usually, but not always, must be completed in order to raise the substantial capital needed to put a mineral property into production. We have not established any reserves (i.e., economic deposits of mineralized materials) on any of its properties, and future studies may indicate that some or all of the properties will not be economic to put into production.

Compliance with environmental regulations may be costly. Our business is regulated by government agencies. Permits are required to explore for minerals, operate mines and build and operate processing plants. The regulations under which permits are issued change from time to time to reflect changes in public policy or scientific understanding of issues. If the economics of a project cannot withstand the cost of complying with changed regulations, the Company might decide not to move forward with the project.

We must comply with numerous environmental regulations on a continuous basis, to comply with United States environmental laws, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”). For example, water and dust discharged from mines and tailings from prior mining or milling operations must be monitored and contained and reports filed with federal, state and county regulatory authorities. Additional monitoring and reporting is required by state and local regulatory agencies. The Abandoned Mine Reclamation Act in Wyoming and similar laws in other states (for examples, California for SGMI’s gold property and Colorado for the Lucky Jack project) impose reclamation obligations on abandoned mining properties, in addition to or in conjunction with federal statutes. Environmental regulatory programs create potential liability for operations, and may result in requirements to perform environmental investigations or corrective actions under federal and state laws and federal and state Superfund requirements.

Failure to comply with these regulations could result in substantial fines, environmental remediation orders and/or potential shut down of the project until compliance is achieved. Failure to timely obtain required permits to start operations at a project could cause delay and/or the failure of the project resulting in a potential write-off of the investments therein.

We depend on key personnel. We have a very limited staff and executive group. These persons are knowledgeable of our mineral properties and have experience in dealing with the exploration of mineral properties as well as the financing of them. The loss of key employees would adversely impact our business, as finding replacements is difficult as a result of competition for experienced personnel in the minerals industry.

We will seek additional business activities. Our interests in SGMI and the Lucky Jack Property are the primary mineral properties owned by us (indirect in the case of SGMI) after the sale of the uranium assets to Uranium One. We intend to acquire other mineral interests, and pursue other business activities such as real estate development and oil and gas exploration. Other than real estate investment opportunities and a contract to explore for gas and oil with a major industry partner, we don’t currently have any agreements in place for other business opportunities.

-40-

We may be classified as an inadvertent investment company. We are not engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, and we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged in those activities. However, under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940, a company may fall within the scope of being an “inadvertent investment company” under section 3(a)(1)(C) of the 1940 Act if the value of its investment securities is more than 40% of its total assets (exclusive of government securities and cash items).

As a result of the April 30, 2007 sale of our uranium assets to Uranium One, we received investment securities (our stock in Uranium One) with a value in excess of 40% of the value of our total assets.

An inadvertent investment company can avoid being classified as an investment company if it can rely on one of the exclusions under the 1940 Act. One such exclusion, Rule 3a-2 under the 1940 Act, allows an inadvertent investment company (as a “transient investment company”) a grace period of one year from the date of classification (in our case, April 30, 2008), to seek to comply with the 40% limit, or with any other available exclusion. Accordingly, we are taking actions to comply with this 40% limit from the present time through April 30, 2008. These actions may include liquidating investment securities as necessary to stay within the 40% limit.

As Rule 3a-2 is available to a company no more than once every three years, and assuming no other exclusion were available to us, we would have to keep within the 40% limit through April 30, 2010. In any event, we would not intend to become an intentional investment company (i.e. engaging in investment and trading activities in investment securities), even after April 30, 2010.

Classification as an investment company under the 1940 Act requires registration with the SEC. If an investment company fails to register, it would have to stop doing almost all business, and its contracts would become voidable. Registration is time consuming and restrictive, and we would be very constrained in the kind of business we could do as a registered investment company.

Proposed Federal Legislation

The U.S. Congress from time to time has considered proposed revisions to the General Mining Law, including as recently as in 2007. If these proposed revisions were enacted, payment of royalties on production of minerals from federal lands could be required as well as additional procedural measures, new requirements for reclamation of mined land, and other environmental control measures. The effect of any revision of the General Mining Law on operations cannot be determined until enactment, however, it is possible that revisions would materially increase the carrying and operating costs of mineral properties located on federal unpatented mining claims.

ITEM 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company issued 1,502,214 shares of common stock and released 292,740 previously forfeitable shares of its common stock. Issued shares consist of 3,812 shares issued to independent directors, 42,500 shares issued to officers of the Company pursuant to the 2001 Stock Compensation Plan, 977,015 net shares issued as a result of the exercise of employee options, 186,147 shares as the result of the exercise of warrants. 292,740 previously forfeitable shares were released due to the retirement of an officer and a vote by the shareholders on June 22, 2007 to release all remaining forfeitable shares. An additional 4,800 forfeitable shares were cancelled due to the cessation of employment of an employee prior to his retirement, disability or death.

-41-

The 2001 Incentive Stock Ownership Plan allows employees to exercise options by surrendering shares he or she owns for the exercise of options. Employees exercised a total of 1,259,542 options by surrendering 282,527 shares they owned which resulted in the issuance of 689,590 shares of stock or a net amount of 407,063 shares being issued from the exercise of options through the surrender of owned shares. Employees and the estate of a deceased officer also exercised 569,952 options by paying $1,646,100.

On June 22, 2007 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a share buy back program for up to $5 million in common stock. The following table sets forth the activity under the stock buy back plan during the quarter ended September 30, 2007:

	Number		Average		Total shares		Maximum
	of shares		per share		purchased		value of shares
