Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) (OTCQX:EFRFF) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that Korea Electric Power Corporation ("KEPCO") has signed
two support agreements supporting Energy Fuels' proposed acquisition of
Strathmore Minerals Corp. ("Strathmore") (TSX:STM) (OTCQX:STHJF). As was
previously announced on June 11, 2013, Energy Fuels and Strathmore have entered
into a definitive arrangement agreement whereby Energy Fuels will acquire all of
the issued and outstanding shares of Strathmore by way of a plan of arrangement
(the "Transaction"). The shareholders of Energy Fuels and Strathmore will be
asked to approve the Transaction at their special meetings to be held on August
13, 2013 and August 20, 2013, respectively.


KEPCO is the largest shareholder of both Energy Fuels and Strathmore, owning
8.5% and 11.7% of the common shares of each respective company. In addition, an
affiliate of KEPCO is Energy Fuels largest uranium customer based on expected
FY-2013 deliveries. KEPCO also has a right to enter into a joint venture with
Strathmore on the Gas Hills Project in central Wyoming. Energy Fuels expects to
evaluate potential synergies that might be realized by combining the Gas Hills
Project with the Company's Sheep Mountain Project, located only 28 miles away.
Potential synergies include opportunities for savings through co-development
capital and targeting a larger combined annual production profile in excess of
the 1.5 million lbs. per year currently outlined in the Sheep Mountain
Prefeasibility Study.


KEPCO is the largest electric utility in South Korea, involved in the
generation, transmission and distribution of electric power. KEPCO is
responsible for 93% of all of South Korea's electricity generation. In addition,
KEPCO operates and develops nuclear power projects in South Korea and worldwide.


As a result of signing the support agreements, KEPCO has irrevocably agreed to
vote their shares of both companies in favour of the Transaction. In addition,
each director and senior officer of both Energy Fuels and Strathmore have agreed
to vote in favour of the Transaction.


Assuming the acquisition is completed, KEPCO will hold approximately 9.1% of the
common shares of Energy Fuels. Upon completion of the Transaction, Energy Fuels
will appoint a director, nominated by KEPCO, to join the Company's board of
directors.


Stephen P. Antony, President and CEO of Energy Fuels stated: "We are very
pleased that KEPCO supports Energy Fuels' acquisition of Strathmore. KEPCO is
recognized as a world-leader in nuclear power development. We look forward to
expanding our relationship with this high-quality organization."
