Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Files Motion to Dismiss Sheep Mountain Alliance Lawsuit Challenging License

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."
