EFR Energy Fuels Inc

Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), has successfully
completed what is probably the most significant step on the critical path to
constructing the Pinon Ridge Mill which will process uranium and vanadium ore in
the Paradox Valley of western Montrose County, Colorado. The three person
Montrose County Board of County Commissioners today unanimously approved the
Company's Special Use Permit Application; the third unanimous approval in the
County's permitting procedures. This clears the way for Energy Fuels to
aggressively pursue the next important step in the permitting process which is
obtaining the Radioactive Source Material License ("Mill License") from the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ("CDPHE"). Upon issuance of
the mill license, Energy Fuels will have the right to construct and operate the
mill.


The approval of this Special Use Permit moves the Company forward significantly
in its strategic development. Energy Fuels is:





--  well on the way to constructing the first new uranium mill in the US in
    more than 25 years
--  continuing to acquire resources and assets, and is moving to consolidate
    hard rock uranium mining in the US
--  a lower risk alternative to in-situ recovery methods for uranium
    production in the US




The Montrose County permitting process was initiated over 13 months ago on July
22, 2008, when Energy Fuels formally applied for a Special Use Permit to change
the land use designation for the Company's 880 acre mill site located 12 miles
west of Naturita, Colorado from "General Agricultural" to "Mineral Resource
Operation Facility." Working closely with the County's Land Use Department,
Energy Fuels has addressed the concerns of the citizens of Montrose County, and
agreed to 19 stipulated conditions adopted after the original permit
application. These conditions address issues including groundwater impacts,
truck transportation, lighting, and others, all adopted to assure the mill will
be a good and responsible neighbor in the Paradox Valley.


This permitting process has stepped through three levels of County regulation
which include the West End Planning Advisory Committee, the Montrose County
Planning Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners. There have been a
total of 6 public meetings with three separate project presentations and more
than 30 hours of testimony from over 300 interested parties, including residents
of Montrose County, and many from outside the County."


According to George Glasier, President and CEO of Energy Fuels, "Our team has
worked diligently on this permit for over a year, responding to objections with
appropriate modifications to our original plan. From this point, the process
moves into the technically based mill licensing arena, in which the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment will evaluate our plans in
accordance with the rules and regulations for building and operating a uranium
mill. The Energy Fuels team is well prepared to demonstrate full compliance with
CDPHE's regulations. The overwhelming support of the community in western
Montrose County has made the difference in the Company's ability to prove to the
Commissioners that this project is good for the County."
