Energy Fuels Repays and Retires Wyoming Debt

12.09.2018  |  CNW

LAKEWOOD, Sept. 12, 2018 - Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU; TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), a leading producer of uranium and vanadium in the United States, is pleased to announce that it has repaid and retired the entire outstanding principal balance of its Wyoming Industrial Development Revenue Bond ("Wyoming Debt"). As of June 30, 2018, the Company reported approximately $55.25 million of working capital, including cash and cash equivalents of $43.2 million, and the Company previously announced its intent to use a portion of its working capital to repay debt, including the Wyoming Debt. The Wyoming Debt, which was secured by the Company's Nichols Ranch Project, had a principal balance of $8.3 million. Repayment of this loan will reduce the Company's short- and long-term debt and avoid significant future interest.

Mark S. Chalmers, President and CEO of Energy Fuels stated: "Energy Fuels is proud to be in a position to repay and retire the entire principal balance of our Wyoming debt. We believe reducing debt and avoiding future interest payments is particularly advantageous for the Company and our shareholders, especially as a number of significant opportunities come into view for Energy Fuels, including the ongoing U.S. government probe into uranium imports, generally improving global uranium market conditions, consolidating and eliminating royalties on certain of our properties, and the Company's commencement of vanadium production in Q4-2018 which should coincide nicely with today's elevated vanadium prices.  Step by step, the Company has substantially improved our balance sheet over the past several months, and the near-term planned significant vanadium production, if successful, will hopefully continue this trend."
