Toronto, Ontario – Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX.V: EFR) (“Energy Fuels” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received a technical report, prepared in accordance with National
Instrument 43-101 – “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”, on its Whirlwind Uranium Property which covers property in both Mesa County, Colorado and Grand County, Utah, from FGM Consulting Group, Inc. of Golden Colorado. Concurrent with this release, the report will be filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). The report details an indicated resource of 164,000 tons at a grade of 0.20% U3O8 and 0.66% V2O5 on a diluted basis for a total contained metal of 657,000 lbs U3O8 and 2.17 million lbs V2O5, based on historical data. No grade cut-off or gradethickness cut-off was employed in the estimate, and dilution has assumed waste material at a zero grade. It is conservative to use waste at zero grade for the dilution, since there is often lower grade material adjacent to the target mineralized zones. The resource calculation was performed using the polygonal method based on 69 drill holes at a nominal spacing of 100 feet, and therefore many polygons enclose approximately 10,000 square feet of area. Vanadium assay information was available for only a few of the drill holes. Where no vanadium data existed, the respective intercept was assigned a value based on the historical district average V2O5:U3O8 ratio of 3.24:1.

The report recommends undertaking a drilling program on the property and states that the potential, unidentified resource on this claim group is believed to be significant. The Company has received its drill permit and has contracted 19,500 feet of drilling, anticipated to be completed in 2007. Having completed an initial resource estimate, Energy Fuels intends to proceed with mine rehabilitation of the historical mine access decline, a program that is expected to take less than six months.

The report also suggests several next steps, including expanding the lease area, negotiating a tolling arrangement and preparing an economic analysis (pre-feasibility) at an appropriate time to convert resources into reserves. Energy Fuels has undertaken to execute these recommended steps in order to bring the Whirlwind Mine into production.

Energy Fuels’ President & CEO, George Glasier commented “We are very pleased to have completed the first of several planned technical reports on our property portfolio in 2007. We intend to grow our uranium portfolio through an aggressive $2.5 million drilling program in 2007, as well as through strategic acquisitions in our geographic area of expertise. In addition, we are actively rehabilitating historical mines on the Uravan Mineral Belt with the goal of being one of the next American uranium producers.”

Separately, the Company also wishes to clarify a statement made in the press release dated January 2, 2007, in respect of Mr. Bruce Hansen’s appointment as a Director of the Company. The Press Release should have read that Mr. Hansen was “until November, 2006” Senior Vice President, Operations Services and Development of Newmont Mining Corporation.

Energy Fuels Inc. is a Toronto-based mineral exploration and development company with uranium and vanadium projects located in the States of Colorado, Utah and Arizona, through its wholly owned Colorado subsidiary Energy Fuels Resources Corporation, and with gold, base metals and platinum group properties located in Newfoundland and Quebec and the Roberts property in Northern Ontario, which is prospective for uranium.

Mr. Stinnett is independent of the Company as defined by NI 43-101. The technical and scientific information contained in this release is based upon historical data that have not been verified due to the unavailability of the core samples, the geologic downhole logs, and downhole radiometric logs.
