“Energy Fuels continued to make excellent progress on all aspects of our core uranium and rare earth businesses during Q2 2023,” said Energy Fuels president and CEO Mark S. Chalmers in the press release. “We completed the sale of 80,000 pounds of uranium to one of our utility customers under one of our long-term contracts. We expect to make another sale of 180,000 pounds of uranium under another long-term contract later this year. . . . Energy Fuels also remains on schedule to complete ‘phase 1’ of our rare earth project at the White Mesa Mill in Utah, which involves modifications and enhancements to the mill’s existing SX building that are expected to have the capacity to produce approximately 800–1,000 metric tons of separated NdPr oxide per annum. . . .Later this year, we expect to begin pilot work on ‘heavy’ rare earth separation, including the production of separated dysprosium and terbium oxides. At the same time, we continue to move our Bahia Rare Earth Project in Brazil forward toward production and to secure additional sources of monazite supply to process at the Mill for rare earth production. . . . To say Energy Fuels continues to make rapid and extraordinary progress on creating a ‘critical mineral hub’ in Utah to help the United States ‘reshore’ critical mineral capabilities required for many advanced clean energy, defense and other technologies is truly an understatement.”

About Energy Fuels Inc.
Energy Fuels is a leading U.S.-based critical minerals company. As the leading producer of uranium in the United States, Energy Fuels mines uranium and produces natural uranium concentrates that are sold to major nuclear utilities for the production of carbon-free nuclear energy. Energy Fuels recently began production of advanced rare earth element (“REE”) materials, including mixed REE carbonate, and plans to produce commercial quantities of separated REE oxides in the future. Energy Fuels also produces vanadium from certain of its projects, as market conditions warrant, and is evaluating the recovery of radionuclides needed for emerging cancer treatments. Its corporate offices are in Lakewood, Colorado, and substantially all its assets and employees are in the United States. Energy Fuels holds two of America’s key uranium production centers: the White Mesa Mill in Utah and the Nichols Ranch in-situ recovery (“ISR”) project in Wyoming. The White Mesa Mill is the only conventional uranium mill operating in the country today, has a licensed capacity of more than 8 million pounds of U3O8per year, has the ability to produce vanadium when market conditions warrant, as well as REE products, from various uranium-bearing ores. The Nichols Ranch ISR project is on standby and has a licensed capacity of 2 million pounds of U3O8per year. The company recently acquired the Bahia Project in Brazil, which is believed to have significant quantities of titanium (ilmenite and rutile), zirconium (zircon) and REE (monazite) minerals. In addition to the above production facilities, Energy Fuels also has one of the largest NI 43-101-compliant uranium resource portfolios in the United States and several uranium and uranium/vanadium mining projects on standby and in various stages of permitting and development.
