BillionDollarBreaks – Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) to Contribute to Domestic Energy Security, Supply U308 to US Uranium Reserve

Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), a leading U.S. producer of uranium and rare earth elements (“REE”), today announced that it has been awarded a contract to sell $18.5 million of natural uranium concentrates (“U3O8”) to the U.S. government for the establishment of a strategic “Uranium Reserve.” The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (“NNSA”), an office within the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”), is tasked with purchasing domestic U3O8 and conversion services for the Uranium Reserve, intended as a backup source of supply for domestic nuclear power plants in the event of a significant market disruption. “Energy Fuels is pleased to contribute to U.S. energy security by supplying U.S.-origin uranium to the U.S. Uranium Reserve,” said Mark S. Chalmers, president and CEO of Energy Fuels. “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has highlighted America’s troubling dependence on Russia and its allies for our nuclear fuel and uranium supply, and the need for the U.S. to rebuild its uranium and nuclear fuel capabilities. Today, nuclear energy provides the U.S. with roughly 20% of all electricity, and 50% of our clean, carbon-free electricity. U.S. and European nuclear industries are actively working to shift away from Russian uranium supply, but the process will be difficult and lengthy. The U.S. can rely on supply from allies like Canada, Australia and others for a large proportion of our uranium and nuclear fuel supply, but we must also restore our own capabilities. For the past several years, U.S. uranium production has been near-zero and our only uranium conversion facility has been shut-down. The Uranium Reserve is a small, but important, step toward resolving this untenable situation.”
