MiningNewsBreaks – Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), Astron Corporation Ink Definitive Agreements to Develop Australian Project

Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earth elements (“REEs”) and vanadium, has executed binding agreements with Astron Corporation Limited. The agreements create a joint venture between the two companies to develop and operate the Donald Rare Earth and Mineral Sands Project; the project is located in Wimmera Region, Victoria, Australia. A world-class, world-scale, REE and heavy mineral sand (“HMS”) deposit, the Donald Project has the potential to supply anywhere from 7,000–14,000 tonnes of monazite sand in an REEconcentrate to Energy Fuels’ Utah-based White Mesa Mill. Australian-based Astron has been involved in mineral sands processing, downstream product development, and the marketing and sales of zirconium and titanium-related products for more than three decades. “Energy Fuels is truly excited to embark on this joint venture with Astron on the development and operation of the Donald Project in Australia,” said Energy Fuels president and CEO Mark Chalmers in the press release. “We have enjoyed working with the Astron team, and we look forward to making this world-class rare earth and critical mineral deposit a reality in Australia, which is one of the closest allies of the U.S. I’ll add that the sequencing of our uranium, rare earth and mineral sand production ramp-ups is proceeding extremely well in relation to commodity markets, while maximizing operating capacity and workforce allocation at our White Mesa Mill. Uranium markets are currently gaining strength, and we have long-term supply contracts to fulfill, so 2024 is a good year to ramp-up our low-cost uranium production.”

About Energy Fuels Inc.

Energy Fuels is a leading U.S.-based critical minerals company. As the leading producer of uranium in the United States, Energy Fuels mines uranium and produces natural uranium concentrates that are sold to major nuclear utilities for the production of carbon-free nuclear energy. Energy Fuels recently began production of advanced rare earth element (“REE”) materials, including mixed REE carbonate, and plans to produce commercial quantities of separated REE oxides commencing in 2024. Energy Fuels also produces vanadium from certain of its projects, as market conditions warrant, and is evaluating the recovery of radionuclides needed for emerging cancer treatments. Its corporate offices are in Lakewood, Colorado, and substantially all assets and employees are in the United States. Energy Fuels holds two of America’s key uranium production centers: the White Mesa Mill in Utah and the Nichols Ranch in-situ recovery (“ISR”) project in Wyoming. The White Mesa Mill is the only conventional uranium mill operating in the country today, has a licensed capacity of more than 8 million pounds of U3O8per year, and has the ability to produce vanadium when market conditions warrant, as well as REE products, from various uranium-bearing ores. The Nichols Ranch ISR project is on standby and has a licensed capacity of 2 million pounds of U3O8per year. The company recently acquired the Bahia Project in Brazil, which is believed to have significant quantities of titanium (ilmenite and rutile), zirconium (zircon) and REE (monazite) minerals. In addition, Energy Fuels also has one of the largest NI 43-101-compliant uranium resource portfolios in the United States and several uranium and uranium/vanadium mining projects on standby and in various stages of permitting and development.
