In addition, members of Energy Fuels’ management team, including Mr. Stephen P.

Energy Fuels President & CEO, Stephen P. Antony, stated:

The Company appreciates Mr. Brown’s strong vote of confidence in Energy Fuels’ uranium production assets, finances and management.  There are a number of key developments in the uranium sector occurring right now that provide us with substantial optimism as we head into 2016.  China continues its aggressive investment in nuclear energy.  The U.S., which already consumes more uranium than any other nation, is in the process of starting its first new nuclear reactor in over 20 years.  And, Japan is continuing to restart its large reactor fleet.  While worldwide uranium demand is growing, the low uranium prices of the past few years have slowed new investment in exploration and mine development.  We believe these and similar factors are likely to create substantial future supply constraints resulting in rising uranium prices.  Energy Fuels is continually improving our ISR and conventional production, development and permitting activities to take advantage of today’s low uranium prices, while we position the Company for a uranium market recovery.
