Energy Fuels Completes Transaction With Uranium One for Acquisition of Key Uranium Resource Acreage at Whirlwind Mine; Adds 6600

Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) -

Whirlwind Mine Resource Acquisition from Uranium One

Energy Fuels (TSX:EFR) has completed the acquisition from Uranium One of a Utah
State uranium lease consisting of 320 acres in Grand County, Utah ("Section
16"). Section 16, surrounded on all sides by acreage currently controlled by
Energy Fuels as part of the Whirlwind mining property, is a strategic fit with
the Whirlwind mining plan. This lease brings the total acreage at Whirlwind
owned or controlled by Energy Fuels to 4,750 contiguous acres.


Significant potential resource is indicated on Section 16 by the many historic
mine workings on the adjoining Whirlwind claims heading directly toward it. The
Whirlwind Mine is currently developed to less than 400 ft. from the Section 16
boundary. Energy Fuels included 200,000 lbs. of U3O8 and 648,000 lbs. of V2O5
from Section 16 in the total inferred resource reported in the March 26, 2008,
NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Whirlwind Mine property. In addition, there
are more than 130,000 lbs. of U3O8 and 416,000 of V2O5 resource indicated by
historical (but not 43-101 compliant) drilling on Section 16. Energy Fuels will
drill at least 6 resource verification holes on Section 16 as part of the 28-30
hole Whirlwind drilling program planned for this upcoming drilling season.

C-G-26       4000 North of and contiguous with our claim blocks on Calamity
                   Mesa (approx. 2,227 acres held before DOE lease auction)

These resource properties increase Energy Fuels' uranium resource acreage to
more than 46,000 acres. There has been a large amount of drilling and
exploration work completed on the DOE leases under the Atomic Energy Commission
(predecessor to the DOE). The four tracts are located in very close proximity to
areas held by Energy Fuels and about which the Company has significant data and
knowledge.
