Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), an
advanced uranium and vanadium development company, earlier
announced that Sheep Mountain Alliance based in Telluride, Colorado
had filed suit in District Court, City and County of Denver,
Colorado, naming the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE) as Defendant, and Energy Fuels' Colorado
subsidiary, Energy Fuels Resources Corp. as an Indispensible Party.
Late yesterday, CDPHE filed a comprehensive Motion to Dismiss
Sheep Mountain Alliance's lawsuit (Sheep Mountain Alliance vs.
CDPHE) challenging CDPHE's license approval granted on January 5,
to Energy Fuels Resources to construct and operate the Pinon Ridge
uranium mill near Naturita, Colorado. In its Motion to Dismiss,
CDPHE argues that Sheep Mountain's complaint fails to state any
claim over which the Denver District Court has jurisdiction to
grant relief. Moreover, CDPHE argues that Sheep Mountain lacks
standing to sue the State regarding this license decision because
SMA has failed to show an injury in fact to any interest protected
by law.
Steve Antony, President and CEO of Energy Fuels stated, "We are
pleased to see the confirmation by the legal team at CDPHE that,
like Energy Fuels, they believe that this claim by the Sheep
Mountain Alliance has no legal basis."
