Both Pressey and Dyke bring extensive industry experience and expertise to the company's Board. Pressey has worked with numerous publicly traded companies, while Dyke's career spans commercial, government, and international security programs related to the nuclear industry. Their addition to the Board is part of Ur-Energy's broader strategy as the world increasingly turns to nuclear power.
