Uranium exploration, mine development and production company Uranium Resources Inc.(URRE) has watched its stock value skyrocket 179% in the past 12 months -- and it is still trading for less than $2 per share! This is even more impressive when you consider that investors fled the sector in March after the nuclear power plant crisis in Japan, causing URRE to lose close to 50%. Since its March 16 low, shares have climbed 38% to $1.92. With a 52-week trading range of 38 cents to $3.98, look for shares to make their way higher as the sector continues to rebound.
