Energy Fuels Retracts and Issues Revised News Release Announcing Compliant Uranium Resources With New NI 43-101 Technical Report

20/08/2008 12:28am

Marketwired Canada


Energy Fuels (TSX:EFR) wishes to retract the news release dated August 19, 2008
which contained a miscalculation of the measured and indicated resource totals
resulting in an overstatement of values. The news release should read as
follows:


The Company has completed four new NI 43-101 Technical Reports, and has
significantly increased the Company's NI 43-101 compliant U3O8 resource, in
Colorado and Utah. Measured and indicated resource has been increased to
2,717,000 lbs. and inferred resource increased to 3,550,000 lbs., a more than
four-fold increase in the uranium resource reported in two separate 43-101
filings during 2007. The 43-101 compliant V2O5 measured and indicated resource
has also been increased to 11,000,000 lbs. and inferred resource increased to
12,900,000 lbs., a six-fold increase in the vanadium resource reported in 2007.


The measured and indicated resource table following the body of this release
summarizes the 2007 resource estimates for each property and illustrates the
impact of the revisions and new reports on 2008 measured and indicated
resources. The 2008 measured and indicated U3O8 resource increased 140% to 2.7
million lbs. from the 1.1 million lbs. reported in 2007. The 2008 measured and
indicated V2O5 resource increased 177% to 11.0 million pounds from 4 million
pounds reported in 2007.


These additional resources are presented in an updated technical report, for the
Energy Queen Mine, and three new reports for the Farmer Girl, Willhunt and
Torbyn properties. These reports were all prepared in accordance with National
Instrument 43-101 - "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects". The Energy
Queen and Willhunt reports were prepared by Peters Geosciences of Golden,
Colorado. The Farmer Girl and Torbyn Reports were prepared by Alinco GeoServices
of Lakewood, Colorado. Concurrent with this release, the four new reports have
been filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com), and they will be posted on the Energy Fuels
website (www.energyfuels.com).


As in prior technical reports, resource calculations were performed using the
polygonal method at a nominal spacing of 100 feet, and therefore many polygons
enclose approximately 10,000 square feet of area. Of course, the polygons are
smaller in areas where the drill spacing is closer. Vanadium grades are based on
actual assays when available, or the respective intercepts were assigned a value
based on the historical district average V2O5:U3O8 ratio for each property, an
accepted industry standard approach in the Uravan Mineral Belt.


In addition, investigations of outcrops, new drill data, and historic maps have
led to the inclusion of geologic inferred resources of 3.55 million lbs. U3O8
and 12.9 million pounds V2O5 on the combined properties, over half of which is
on the Whirlwind Mine property block as released earlier this year. These
inferred resources listed by property are:




Inferred
--------
Resources Only      Lbs. U3O8       Lbs. V2O5
--------------       --------       ---------
Whirlwind         2.2 million     6.8 million
Energy Queen      0.4 million     1.9 million
Willhunt          0.5 million     2.5 million
Torbyn            0.3 million     0.9 million
Farmer Girl      0.15 million     0.8 million
                 ------------    ------------
 Total           3.55 million    12.9 million



According to Energy Fuels' President & CEO, George Glasier, "In one year, with
the addition of 84 completed drill holes to the 28 already drilled at Whirlwind,
Energy Fuels has multiplied its compliant uranium resource base by four times,
and its compliant vanadium resource by six times. With the approval of the US
BLM plan of operations anticipated this month, we are ready to mine in an area
of significant mineralization. Once we are producing and routinely exploring
with long-hole drilling from within the mineralized zones, the probability for
identifying additional resource is excellent."


The Qualified Person, as defined by NI 43-101 responsible for the Energy Queen
and Willhunt technical information contained in this release is Douglas C.
Peters, CPG. For the Farmer Girl and Torbyn technical information, the Qualified
Person is M. Hassan Alief, CPG. Both Mr. Peters and Mr. Alief are independent of
the Company as defined by NI 43-101.


Stephen P. Antony, P.E., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument
43-101, has reviewed and approved the content of this press release.
