at revitalizing U.S. nuclear fuel and uranium industries

strategy prioritizes strengthening uranium mining industry with $150
million earmarked for direct government purchases

Fuels is largest U.S. uranium producer with more production assets,

The Trump administration recently declared its plan to
revitalize the U.S. nuclear energy industry, including supporting uranium
production, as outlined in a recent strategy report released by the U.S.
Nuclear Fuel Working Group (http://ibn.fm/mvTrl). Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), the
leading U.S. producer of uranium, is well-positioned to take a prominent role in
the president’s plans due to having more assets, in-ground resources and
production capacity than any other uranium producer in the United States.
With the goal of having the United States regain its
international standing as a world leader in nuclear energy and nuclear fuel,
the report outlines a strategy aimed to preserve and grow the U.S. nuclear fuel
industry. Serving as a road map for regaining U.S. nuclear energy leadership,
the three-pronged strategy begins with bold action to revive and strengthen the
uranium mining and conversion industries, followed by investments in innovative
nuclear designs and technology. The ultimate goal of these strategies is to
reassert the United States into global nuclear markets currently being
dominated by Russian and Chinese state-owned enterprises.
“It is within our power to pull America’s nuclear industrial
base from the brink of collapse and restore our place as the global leader in
nuclear technology, ensuring a strong national security position and
buttressing our strength for generations to come,” states the report. Congress
is expected to provided broad bipartisan support for these initiatives, which
are designed to counter Russian and Chinese efforts to project power using
their nuclear energy industries.
Strengthening the uranium mining industry – the first
priority of the strategic plan – aims to end America’s near 100% reliance on
foreign uranium through direct action taken to revitalize the industry. With
the goal of leveling the playing field, so the U.S. can compete on the
international market, the directives include purchases of natural uranium from
companies such as Energy Fuels, sustaining conversion services, supporting the
current fleet of nuclear reactors, removing strategic vulnerabilities across the
nuclear fuel cycle and restoring the workforce.
Trump’s proposal to spend $150 million on a strategic U.S.
uranium reserve will purchase uranium from domestic uranium producers that
include Energy Fuels, the largest producer of uranium in the United States in
recent years, and with assets that have accounted for over one-third of the
nation’s natural uranium supply since 2006. With a licensed capacity of more
than 8 million pounds of uranium per year, the company’s White Mesa Mill in
Utah is the only conventional uranium mill in the country. Energy Fuels also
owns and operates two ISR uranium facilities with an additional 3.5 million
pounds of annual licensed capacity.
“Energy Fuels is the leading U.S. uranium producer, because
we have proven assets with exceptional track records of production and
environmental protection,” UUUU CEO Mark Chalmers said in a recent corporate
presentation (http://ibn.fm/L9sCM).“Energy
Fuels has been the largest producer of uranium over the last few years, and we
have more uranium production assets and capacity to increase production quicker
and on a greater scale than any other producer in the United States, by far.”
Headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, Energy Fuels is the
largest producer of uranium, and the leading conventional producer of vanadium,
in the United States. The company’s asset portfolio boasts the most uranium
production facilities and in-ground resources in the U.S., enabling the company
to outproduce the domestic competition. With government plans currently in
motion aimed at revitalizing the nuclear energy industry, UUUU is uniquely
positioned to keep its role as the uranium production leader in the United
States.
