Energy Fuels has produced two-thirds of all U.S. uranium between 2017 and 2023 by both convential underground mining and in-situ uranium recovery. Fueled by uranium, nuclear energy is a significant source of clean energy, generating 20% of all electricity - and nearly 55% of U.S. carbon- and emission-free electricity.

Rare Earth Processing in the U.S.

Energy Fuels is working to onshore a critical part of the rare earth element supply chain, helping to produce in the U.S. the materials for many clean energy and advanced technologies.

Vanadium Production. Today.

Energy Fuels is a major U.S. producer of vanadium, a strategic mineral used in high-strength steel, titanium and other alloys, and in the batteries needed to store power from renewable energy.

Energy Fuels’ White Mesa Mill is becoming the nation’s clean energy hub, where certain critical materials needed for clean, reliable energy are produced. This includes uranium, rare earth elements, and vanadium. We recently hosted a special open house event where over 200 people learned about the products, the processes, and the people who are making our world a better place.

Energy Fuels' Preliminary Feasibility Study (Not a Pre-Feasibility Study intended to be compliant with NI-43-101 or S-K 1300 as yet)  describes a project to
design and build a rare earth processing facility at Energy Fuels Resources’ White Mesa Mill site in Blanding, Utah. Energy Fuels currently processes Uranium, Vanadium and Rare Earths at this facility and is the only operational conventional Uranium mill in the U.S. at this time. This Mill PFS addresses the design of a new facility to process Rare Earth bearing Uranium Ore at the White Mesa Mill and recover rare earth oxides prior to uranium recovery with the existing facility.

This Mill PFS provides an engineering evaluation of the proposed hydrometallurgical process for Energy Fuels Resources (EFR). WSP undertook the Mill PFS from December 2022 through May 2023. WSP (including Wood Canada Ltd. as a subcontractor) and Energy Fuels optimized the project scope and design over the course of the project.

This report was prepared to summarize the results from the review meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah on May 15-17th 2023. The project scope includes a standalone Rare Earth (RE) oxide processing facility to treat 30,000 metric tonnes of Rare Earth-bearing Uranium ore per year, producing a high purity separated NdPr oxide product.

The estimated output of the process facility is approximately 3,000 metric tonnes of NdPr oxide product per year (more).
