Energy Fuels Acquires Calliham Uranium/Vanadium Mine in Sage Plain Area of Utah

Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), an advanced uranium and vanadium development company announced today that the Company has acquired a mining lease (the Calliham lease) consisting of approximately 320 acres in San Juan County, Utah, from Nuvemco, LLC for consideration of 1,064,895 shares of Energy Fuels common stock. There is a historical mineral resource estimate on the property of 520,000 lbs. U3O8 and 3.5 million lbs. V2O5 based on drilling done by Atlas Minerals and Umetco Minerals in the late 1970s and 1980s (which pre-dates the adoption of NI 43-101). These drilling results were documented by Umetco Minerals Corp. (successor to Union Carbide Corp.) in a report prepared in 1991 and in the Company's possession. In the opinion of Energy Fuels' geologists, these estimates are relevant because of the proximity of the property to the Company's proposed Pinon Ridge Mill and very reliable, given that Umetco was a highly professional and successful producer in the region, actually producing from the Calliham Mine for several years.
