Press Releases
State of Colorado Clears the Way for New License Decision on Energy Fuels' Piñon Ridge Mill
March 1, 2013


Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX : EFR) (“Energy Fuels” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”), Dr. Chris Urbina, affirmed the decision of an appointed hearing officer in an administrative process required for the reissuance of the radioactive materials license for the Company’s Piñon Ridge Mill. As was previously announced by the Company on January 15, 2013, a hearing officer concluded that the November 2012 administrative hearing on the Piñon Ridge Mill, held for the purpose of augmenting the administrative record, fully satisfied the requirements of Colorado law. A group of non-government organizations appealed the hearing officer’s decision. Dr. Urbina’s decision today denied their appeal, paving the way for CDPHE to issue a new license decision. Neither the hearing officer’s nor Dr. Urbina’s decision made any substantive recommendations regarding the approval or denial of the license.

A license for the Piñon Ridge Mill was issued by CDPHE in March 2011, but was set aside pending the completion of the November 2012 administrative hearing. Energy Fuels expects that CDPHE will issue a new license decision on the Piñon Ridge Mill by the end of April 2013.
