Energy Fuels Announces Independent Report Confirming Ample Uranium Resource in Region to Supply the Pinon Ridge Mill

Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company") today announced
the release of a favorable independent report prepared for Montrose County that
supports and confirms Energy Fuels' estimates of sufficient economically minable
uranium resource in the region to supply the Pinon Ridge Uranium and Vanadium
Mill. The report confirms there is sufficient resource, both at current mill
design capacity and potential future expanded mill capacity. The report was
prepared by Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. ("EPS"), a national economics
consulting firm with offices in Denver, Colorado and Sacramento and Berkeley,
California.


Energy Fuels' proposed Pinon Ridge Mill and several of the Company's mine
properties are located in Montrose County, Colorado. In addition, a large
portion of the Uravan Mineral Belt is located in Montrose County. Historically,
the Uravan Mineral Belt was the most significant uranium-producing region in the
United States.


The EPS report is entitled "Montrose County Review of Market Conditions Related
to Uranium Mining and Milling." It was prepared at the request of Montrose
County in order to determine the feasibility and magnitude of regional uranium
operations given supply, demand, and competitive constraints. Energy Fuels and
the Mill are featured prominently in the report. EPS concluded the following:




--  World uranium demand is expected to double, assuming the planned and
    proposed reactors are built. Uranium production in the United States,
    including production in Montrose County, will increase to satisfy future
    levels of demand and fill the gap from dwindling stockpiles. 
    
--  The Four Corners Region (Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona)
    includes the Uravan Mineral Belt, one of the richest uranium deposits in
    the United States. The region is estimated to contain between 31% and
    36% of the nation's uranium resource. 
    
--  The White Mesa Mill in Blanding, Utah, represents only minor competition
    to the Pinon Ridge Mill and Montrose County uranium production. 
    
--  Montrose County uranium resource has the market advantage of containing
    high-grade uranium and large quantities of vanadium that adds
    significant value to area mining properties. 
    
--  The uranium resource available to supply for a mill in Montrose County
    is as much as 2,667 tons per day at a uranium price of $50/lb and as
    much as 4,333 tons per day at a uranium price of $100/lb. 



Energy Fuels' Pinon Ridge Mill is currently licensed for a capacity of 500 tons
per day, with the potential to expand to 1,000 tons per day through additional
permitting, well within the available resource supply identified by EPS. The
Pinon Ridge Mill will also have a vanadium circuit to produce significant
quantities of this strategic metal.


According to Energy Fuels' President and CEO, Steve Antony, "It is very positive
to obtain independent 3rd Party verification of our projections. The bottom line
is that there are considerable quantities of uranium and vanadium resource that
can potentially be mined economically in this region - by us and by others. This
report highlights that there is little milling capacity to bring that resource
to market. These factors, combined with uranium demand projections, give further
justification for the construction of the Pinon Ridge Mill."
