Positive Decision Issued on Energy Fuels' Pinon Ridge Mill

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/15/13 -- Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that an appointed hearing officer issued a decision confirming that the Company's Pinon Ridge Mill will continue to move forward in the State of Colorado's licensing process. An administrative hearing for the Pinon Ridge Mill took place between November 7, 2012 and November 12, 2012 in Nucla, Colorado (as ordered by Denver District Court in June 2012) for the purpose of augmenting the administrative record that the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ("CDPHE") will consider in deciding whether to reissue a new license for the Pinon Ridge Mill.

Judge Richard Dana, who presided over the administrative hearing, concluded in his January 14, 2013 decision that the hearing fully satisfied the requirements of Colorado law and that CDPHE must consider any new evidence presented at the hearing. It is the Company's belief that little new evidence was presented. As this hearing was an intermediate procedural step in the re-licensing process of the Pinon Ridge Mill, the judge made no recommendations regarding the approval or denial of the license. CDPHE is now required to issue a new license decision by April 27, 2013.
