Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) (OTCQX:EFRFD) (“Energy Fuels” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that today the Company submitted its application to be listed on a recognized US stock exchange.  A listing on a recognized U.S. stock exchange, in conjunction with the recently implemented consolidation of the Company’s common shares, advances the Company’s strategy of making its common shares more accessible to a broader range of investors, particularly U.S. institutional and retail investors.  Energy Fuels will provide regular updates on this listing process.

In addition, as a result of the Company’s shares trading on a consolidated basis today, for a period of twenty (20) trading days, Energy Fuels’ common shares will trade on the OTCQX under the symbol “EFRFD”.  The letter “D” was added to the end of the Company’s ticker symbol by the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) for the purpose of designating Energy Fuels as having recently implemented a share consolidation.  After twenty trading days, the Company’s trading symbol is expected to revert back to “EFRFF”.

Today, the Company also agreed to temporarily place shaft-sinking operations at its Canyon mine in Arizona on standby due to market conditions, and to simplify and lessen the expense of current litigation at the mine.

The Canyon mine is a uranium project owned by the Company in northern Arizona, which is currently under development pursuant to a Plan of Operations that has been approved by the United States Forest Service (“USFS”).  To date, the shaft at the Canyon mine has advanced to a depth of approximately 300 feet, out of the approximately 1,500 feet required to access the ore body.  In addition, all surface development on the project has been completed, including the head-frame, the hoist, evaporation ponds, environmental monitoring facilities, and all buildings.

Recent USFS actions and decisions regarding the mine have been challenged by several environmental groups and a local tribe (the “Plaintiffs”).  The validity of the approved Plan of Operations has not been challenged by the Plaintiffs.  That litigation is ongoing in front of the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (the “District Court”).  Recently, the Plaintiffs appealed to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”) the District Court’s order denying Plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction and applied to the Court of Appeals for an emergency injunction pending appeal.

Today, the parties to the litigation entered into a stipulated agreement (the “Agreement”) and filed a joint motion with the District Court for the purpose of staying the Plaintiff’s appeal of the District Court’s decision denying the preliminary injunction and the request for an emergency injunction.  In return, the Company committed to temporarily place shaft-sinking operations at the Canyon mine on standby until the earlier of a District Court decision on the merits of the case, or December 31, 2014.  During this period of standby, Energy Fuels will continue to conduct all non-shaft sinking operations and maintenance activities pursuant to applicable USFS regulations and the approved Plan of Operations.

Proceedings on the merits of the case will now be able to advance in a more efficient manner, and Energy Fuels and the USFS intend to vigorously defend USFS’s actions and decisions regarding the project.  After the District Court renders its decision on the merits (or after December 31, 2014), the Company will evaluate re-initiating shaft-sinking activities.

Stephen P. Antony, President and CEO of Energy Fuels stated: “We believe today’s agreement to temporarily place shaft-sinking activities at the Canyon mine on standby is beneficial on a number of fronts.  The agreement allows the Company to defer substantial capital expenditures until a later date.  In addition, the agreement will reduce the cost of pursuing procedural aspects of the litigation and allow the parties to focus on the merits of the case.  In the current uranium market, Energy Fuels is seeking to reduce and defer costs.  In my opinion, today’s agreement accomplishes this goal without substantially affecting our overall business strategy.  The Canyon mine remains an important aspect of our medium-term plans, and we will continue to work with the U.S. Forest Service to energetically defend the project’s approvals.”

Finally, the Company has decided to change its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31.  The reason for this change is to better align the Company’s year-end with the year-ends of its major customers, certain material subsidiaries and industry peers.  The Company expects to report its interim results for the quarter-ended September 30, 2013 on or before November 14, 2013, and to report its annual results for the year-ended December 31, 2013 on or before March 31, 2014.  The Company’s 2013 annual results will include the period beginning on October 1, 2012 and ending on December 31, 2013.
