Energy Fuels' Pinon Ridge Uranium Mill County Special Use Permit Upheld by Colorado District Court in Montrose County

Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), an advanced
uranium and vanadium development company, learned that today, February 4, 2010,
Judge James Schum of the State of Colorado District Court in Montrose County
denied the legal challenge by Sheep Mountain Alliance of the decision by the
Montrose County Board of County Commissioners (Board) to approve the Special Use
Permit for the Company's Pinon Ridge Mill, originally approved on September
30,2009. This ruling will allow for construction to proceed on the mill once all
remaining state and federal permits are obtained and a reclamation bond is
posted with the State of Colorado. 


Energy Fuels received approval from the Colorado Department of Public Health
(CDPHE) and Environment for its Radioactive Material License on January 5, 2011.
This is the primary permit needed to operate a uranium mill in Colorado. The
mill is designed to process 500 tons per day (tpd) of uranium and vanadium ore.


Energy Fuels submitted its application for the Pinon Ridge Mill Special Use
Permit in July 2008 for an 880 acre parcel in Paradox Valley on the west end of
Montrose County. The county permitting process was extensive and extended over a
period of one year and included six public meetings held by the Planning
Commission and Board. The project received unanimous approval from all levels of
the Montrose County review process including the West End Planning Advisory
Committee, the Planning Commission and the Board. 


The Sheep Mountain Alliance is a non-governmental organization based in
Telluride Colorado, which is located about 55 miles (90 kilometers) from the
mill site in San Miguel County. The organization filed an appeal of the Board's
Decision on October 30, 2009 contending that the Montrose County Zoning
Resolution prohibits issuance of a special use permit for a uranium mill in an
area zoned for General Agriculture and that the county abused its discretion
when it approved a 500 tpd mill, as the mill is designed to allow for future
expansion to 1,000 tpd. Legal briefs were subsequently filed with the District
Court in the fall of 2010. The Court, in its February 4, 2011 order stated "that
the recording of the resolution conditionally approving the mill was not an
abuse of discretion or unlawful" and "that the Board properly applied the
procedural and substantive provisions of the Zoning Resolution."


Steve Antony, President and CEO of Energy Fuels stated that, "We could not be
more pleased with this decision. The Energy Fuels team continues to meet its
milestones and deliver on our commitments as we move toward the responsible and
safe production of uranium and vanadium in western Colorado."
