Energy Fuels Moves to Dismiss Suit Opposing Mill License

Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), an advanced
uranium and vanadium development company, earlier announced that Sheep Mountain
Alliance based in Telluride, Colorado had filed suit in District Court, City and
County of Denver, Colorado, naming the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE) as Defendant.


On February 23, 2011, CDPHE filed a Motion to Dismiss Sheep Mountain Alliance's
lawsuit (Sheep Mountain Alliance vs. CDPHE) which challenged CDPHE's license
approval granted on January 5, to Energy Fuels Resources to construct and
operate the Pinon Ridge uranium mill near Naturita, Colorado. In its Motion,
CDPHE argues that the Denver District Court does not have jurisdiction to grant
Sheep Mountain relief, and that Sheep Mountain lacks standing to sue the State
regarding this license decision.


Yesterday, Energy Fuels filed its own Motion to Dismiss Sheep Mountain
Alliance's lawsuit. Energy Fuels' Motion joins in the arguments presented in
CDPHE's Motion. It also specifically asks the Court to dismiss Sheep Mountain's
First Claim for Relief, which alleges that CDPHE issued Energy Fuels'
radioactive materials license without conducting the necessary administrative
procedures. Energy Fuels' Motion to Dismiss argues that Sheep Mountain's
interpretation of the applicable statutes, as set forth in its First Claim for
Relief, is legally incorrect, and that, as a result, the Court must dismiss that
claim.
