Energy Fuels: Creating a Stronger Company for Shareholders

Energy Fuels (TSX:EFR,NYSEMKT:UUUU) has been making headlines since it announced on January 5 that it will be acquiring Uranerz Energy (TSX:URZ,NYSEMKT:URZ). The combined entity will be the largest integrated uranium producer focused on the United States.

To find out more about the deal and how it benefits both companies, Resource Investing News spoke with Curtis Moore, director of marketing and corporate development at Energy Fuels. He explained, “what really was the impetus for this transaction is the fact that we’re going to create a larger, stronger uranium mining company in the United States. We’re going to be able to cut costs because we’re going to reduce our general and administrative, and also our corporate costs. We’re also going to diversify our production centers.”
