Energy Fuels Inc. announced that the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona denied a challenge, including claims alleging non-compliance with certain environmental and cultural procedural laws, by non-government organizations and a Native American tribe to the EF ability to operate its Canyon mine. Judge David G. Campbell ordered the plaintiffs action terminated and granted summary judgment in favor of the U.S. Forest Service and Energy Fuels.
The court decision affirms the Company right to continue with mine development and uranium production at the Canyon mine in accordance with previously obtained rights and regulatory approvals. In his order, Judge Campbell granted summary judgment in favor of the U.S. Forest Service and Energy Fuels, and ordered the plaintiffs action terminated. The court rejected all of the plaintiffs claims, including claims alleging non-compliance with certain environmental and cultural procedural laws. The court also found that USFS properly consulted with the Native American tribe when the Company decided to resume active mining operations. No substantive environmental, health or safety issues were asserted by the plaintiffs.
