As quoted in the press release:
Mr. Joo-Soo Park was appointed to Energy Fuels’ Board of Directors (the “Board”) on January 28, 2015 to serve as the representative of Korea Electric Power Corporation (NYSE: KEP) (“KEPCO”). Mr. Park is currently the Team Leader and General Manager for the Project Management Team in KEPCO’s Overseas Resources Project Department, having served in this position since 2012. Mr. Park has been with KEPCO for 25 years holding increasingly senior positions, including as the head of the Korea Electric Power Research Institute and a Senior Manager in the construction division for the Kum-ho nuclear power plant. He holds a Masters of Business Administration degree from the Helsinki School of Economics in Helsinki, Finland and a Business Administration degree from Chungnam National University in Daejeon, South Korea. Mr. Park was appointed as a director of the Company to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Tae Hwan Kim on January 6, 2015. Mr. Kim served as a director of the Company from January 2014 to January 2015, and has recently been assigned to other duties at KEPCO.
Energy Fuels president and CEO, Stephen P. Antony, said:
We are pleased that KEPCO continues to be closely involved with Energy Fuels, and we look forward to maintaining our strong bonds with South Korea’s electric power company in the years to come. On a personal level, the Board and I thank Mr. Kim for his contributions as a director of the Company, and we look forward to working collaboratively with Mr. Park, as we guide Energy Fuels through these exciting times in the U.S. uranium industry, including our pending acquisition of Uranerz Energy Corporation (NYSE MKT: URZ; TSX: URZ). Energy Fuels is clearly emerging as the dominant uranium mining company in the United States, and we appreciate Mr. Park’s willingness serve as an active director of the Company.
