Energy Fuels is a leading U.S.-based uranium mining company, supplying U3O8 to major nuclear utilities. Energy Fuels also produces vanadium from certain of its projects, as market conditions warrant, and is ramping up commercial-scale production of REE carbonate. Its corporate offices are in Lakewood, Colorado, near Denver, and all its assets and employees are in the United States. Energy Fuels holds three of America’s key uranium production centers: the White Mesa Mill in Utah, the Nichols Ranch in-situ recovery (“ISR”) Project in Wyoming, and the Alta Mesa ISR Project in Texas. The White Mesa Mill is the only conventional uranium mill operating in the U.S. today, has a licensed capacity of over 8 million pounds of U3O8 per year, has the ability to produce vanadium when market conditions warrant, as well as REE carbonate from various uranium-bearing ores. The Nichols Ranch ISR Project is on standby and has a licensed capacity of 2 million pounds of U3O8 per year. The Alta Mesa ISR Project is also on standby and has a licensed capacity of 1.5 million pounds of U3O8 per year. In addition to the above production facilities, Energy Fuels also has one of the largest NI 43-101 compliant uranium resource portfolios in the U.S. and several uranium and uranium/vanadium mining projects on standby and in various stages of permitting and development. The primary trading market for Energy Fuels’ common shares is the NYSE American under the trading symbol “UUUU,” and the Company’s common shares are also listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “EFR.” Energy Fuels’ website is www.energyfuels.com.

Energy Fuels agreed to acquire Base Resources (ASX: BSE) for $242 million. Payment would consist of 0.0260 shares of UUUU stock and $0.042 in cash for each BSE share. UUUU management believes the acquisition will be immediately accretive and significantly add to Energy Fuel’s value given BSE assets with a PV10 estimated value close to $2 billion.
BSE’s Toliara project in Madagascar is the key to the purchase. Toliara is a world-class, advanced-stage, low-cost, and large-scale heavy sands project with large quantities of Monazite sand. The monazite will be shipped to UUUU’s White Mesa Mill for processing. Along with other monazite projects (Chemours, Donald, Bahia) Energy Fuels will now have enough monazite to proceed with the mill’s phase II expansion, which will increase capacity 5-6 times and begin separating heavy REEs.
