The growth in resources reported in these updated technical reports came
primarily from adjoining property acquisitions. Significant pounds were added at
San Rafael that became accessible as a result of the Hollie Claims acquisition
from Titan Uranium. There was also new drilling at San Rafael since the earlier
43-101 technical reports were filed. 


So far in the 2011 calendar year, Energy Fuels has increased measured and
indicated U3O8 resources by more than 2.4 million lbs. U3O8, including the
acquisition of the Hollie claims from Titan Uranium. Titan's Hollie resources
were already estimated in accordance with NI 43-101 as a result of earlier work
by Magnum Uranium before it was merged into Energy Fuels. Inferred resources
have increased by about 666,000 lbs. These resource contributions come from the
following sources:

Steve Antony, President and CEO of Energy Fuels stated, "These additional
resource pounds are a direct result of our consolidation initiative in Colorado
and Utah. We think this is just the beginning of what we can accomplish with a
clear focus and the new investment capital that we are raising."
