Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company") announced today that the State of Colorado sent a strongly worded letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") on Friday March 16, 2012. In the letter, the State defends the Pinon Ridge Uranium Mill License ("License") against charges that the process that resulted in the March 7, 2011 issuance of the License to Energy Fuels was flawed. The letter to the NRC upholds the validity of the license and was signed by Dr. Christopher Urbina M.D., Executive Director and Chief Medical Officer for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ("CDPHE"). Dr. Urbina is a key cabinet member in the administration of Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper.

Energy Fuels' President and CEO, Steve Antony, commented, "We are happy to see the highest levels of Colorado state government defending the Pinon Ridge Mill license. We firmly believe that all applicable state and federal laws were followed meticulously. We hope this issue is resolved quickly and amenably, not only for Energy Fuels but for the people on Colorado's West Slope who support this important project."
