LAKEWOOD, Colo., June 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), the number one U.S. producer of uranium and an emerging U.S. producer of rare earth elements, is pleased to announce that it will be a Hall of Fame Presenter at the upcoming LD Micro Invitational XI virtual event on Tuesday, June 8 at 11:00 AM ET.

Mark S. Chalmers, President and CEO of Energy Fuels, will discuss the Company's growing, monazite-based rare earth element ("REE") business under which Energy Fuels recently began ramping up U.S. production of an intermediate REE product, called a mixed REE carbonate, at its White Mesa Mill in Utah. Upon successful ramp-up, this will be a product ready for separation into individual REE oxides. The Company expects to sell this product to a processing facility owned by Neo Performance Materials in Europe. At that point, Energy Fuels and Neo will have integrated a U.S.-Europe rare earth supply chain decoupled from China. The Company is also advancing toward building its own REE separation capabilities at the mill in the coming years, in addition to potentially metal-making and alloying, thereby fully integrating a U.S.-centric rare earth supply chain available to supply growing clean energy markets, including electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy systems.

Chris Lahiji, Founder of LD Micro stated: "The Hall of Fame not only highlights companies that have achieved a high rate of return but have also been beneficial to society. I think the world of Energy Fuels and its management, and I'm very proud of what they have achieved. We are looking forward to hosting them at the invitational."
