EPA Approves Construction of Energy Fuels’ Pinon Ridge Mill

Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) announced that the construction of facilities for the Piñon Ridge Uranium and Vanadium Mill were approved by the EPA.

As quoted in the press release:

This is the only EPA approval required to construct and operate the Piñon Ridge Mill and follows Energy Fuels’ receipt of a Radioactive Materials License for the Mill from the State of Colorado in March of 2011.

Energy Fuels’ President and CEO, Stephen P. Antony said:

“This is significant for Energy Fuels and the domestic uranium industry, as it is the first EPA approval of a conventional mill tailings facility since the NESHAP regulations were revised. Achieving this milestone brings Energy Fuels one big step closer to production of American uranium and vanadium.”
