Haven't found an official press release on this but Yahoo has an article up about a few newly discovered rings of Uranus:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051222/ap_on_sc/uranus_rings

These rings were found between the Epsilon ring and Miranda's orbit. One apparently was found at around 97,000 km, near the orbit of Mab, suggesting that Mab supplies material for the ring. These rings are apparently quite faint, probably why VGR2 missed them.
