TO THE HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES:

Notice is hereby given that an annual and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders of common shares of Energy Fuels Inc. (the “Corporation”) will be held at the offices of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, 44th Floor, Scotia Plaza, 40 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 3Y4 on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 at 2:00 pm (Toronto time) for the following purposes:

1.

to receive the audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the fifteen months ended December 31, 2013, together with the report of the auditors thereon;

   
2.

to elect directors of the Corporation;

   
3.

to appoint the auditors of the Corporation and to authorize the directors to fix the remuneration of the auditors;

   
4.

to consider and, if deemed appropriate, pass an ordinary resolution ratifying By-Law No. 2 of the Corporation, as more particularly described under “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meeting – Approval of By-Law No. 2 of the Corporation” in the accompanying management information circular (the “Circular”);

   
5.

to consider and, if deemed appropriate, pass an ordinary resolution ratifying an amendment to the By-laws of the Corporation to add an advance notice requirement for nominations of directors by shareholders in certain circumstances, as more particularly described under “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meeting – Ratification of Advance Notice Amendment to By- Laws” in the Circular; and

   
6.

to transact such other business as may properly be brought before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The accompanying Circular provides additional information relating to the matters to be dealt with at the Meeting and forms part of this Notice.

The Corporation has elected to use the notice-and-access provisions under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (the "Notice-and-Access Provisions") for the Meeting. The Notice-and-Access Provisions are a new set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that reduce the volume of materials that must be physically mailed to shareholders by allowing the Corporation to post the Circular and any additional materials online. Shareholders will still receive this Notice of Meeting and a form of proxy and may choose to receive a paper copy of the Circular. The Corporation will not use the procedure known as 'stratification' in relation to the use of Notice-and-Access Provisions. Stratification occurs when a reporting issuer using the Notice-and-Access Provisions provides a paper copy of the Circular to some shareholders with this notice package. In relation to the Meeting, all shareholders will receive the required documentation under the Notice-and-Access Provisions, which will not include a paper copy of the Circular.

1


Please review the Circular carefully and in full prior to voting as the Circular has been prepared to help you make an informed decision on the matters to be acted upon. The Circular is available on the website of the Corporation’s transfer agent, CST Trust Company, Inc. at www.meetingdocuments.com/cst/EFR. and under the Corporation’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Any shareholder who wishes to receive a paper copy of the Circular, should contact CST Trust Company, Inc., at 1-888-433-6443 or fulfilment@canstockta.com by May 7, 2014.

Shareholders who cannot attend the Meeting in person may vote by proxy. Instructions on how to complete and return the proxy are provided with the proxy form and are described in the Circular. To be valid, proxies must be received by CST Trust Company, Inc. by mail at c/o Cover-All, P. O. Box 721, Agincourt, Ontario, Canada, M1S 0A1 or by fax to 1-866-781-3111 (toll free) or 416-368-2502 or by email to proxy@canstockta.com, no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on May 19, 2014, or if the Meeting is adjourned, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the last business day preceding the day to which the Meeting is adjourned.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

The information contained in this management information circular (“Circular) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be used at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of Energy Fuels Inc. (“EFI” or the “Corporation”) to be held at the offices of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, 44th Floor, Scotia Plaza, 40 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 3Y4 on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 at 2:00 pm (Toronto time) (the “Meeting), and at all adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. It is expected that the solicitation will be made primarily by mail but proxies may also be solicited personally by directors, officers or regular employees of EFI.The solicitation of proxies by this Circular is being made by or on behalf of the management of EFI. The total cost of the solicitation will be borne by EFI.

Except as otherwise indicated, information in this Circular is given as of March 26, 2014.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the form of proxy accompanying this Circular are officers and/or directors of EFI. A shareholder of EFI has the right to appoint a person other than the persons specified in such form of proxy and who need not be a shareholder of EFI to attend and act for him and on his behalf at the Meeting. Such right may be exercised by striking out the names of the persons specified in the proxy, inserting the name of the person to be appointed in the blank space provided in the proxy, signing the proxy and returning it in the reply envelope in the manner set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

A shareholder of EFI who has given a proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing, including another completed form of proxy, executed by him or his attorney authorized in writing, deposited at the registered office of EFI, or at the offices of CST Trust Company, Inc. by mail at c/o Cover-All, P.O. Box 721, Agincourt, Ontario, Canada, M1S 0A1 or by fax to 1-866-781-3111 (toll free) or 416-368-2502 or by email to proxy@canstockta.com, up to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the Chair of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or in any other manner permitted by law.

VOTING OF SHARES REPRESENTED BY MANAGEMENT PROXIES

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed by proxy on any ballot that may be called for in accordance with the instructions thereon. If a shareholder of EFI specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of such instructions, such shares will be voted in favour of each of the matters referred to herein.

1


The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters, if any, which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, the management of EFI knows of no such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgement of the named proxy holder.

VOTING BY NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

Only registered shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, common shares owned by a person (a “non-registered owner”) are registered either (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the non-registered owner deals with in respect of the common shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered registered savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“CDS”)) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

In accordance with the notice and access requirements of National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), non-registered owners who have advised their Intermediary that they do not object to the Intermediary providing their ownership information to issuers whose securities they beneficially own (“NOBOs”) will receive by mail: (i) a voting information form which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the non-registered holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “Voting Instruction Form”); (ii) a letter from EFI with respect to the notice and access procedure; and (iii) the request for financial statements form (collectively, the “Notice and Access Package”). The Circular and the Notice of Meeting may be found at and downloaded from www.meetingdocuments.com/cst/EFR.

NOBOs who have standing instructions with the Intermediary for physical copies of the Circular will receive by mail the Notice and Access Package, the Circular and the Notice of Meeting.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Notice and Access Package to non-registered owners who have advised their Intermediary that they object to the Intermediary providing their ownership information (“OBOs”) unless an OBO has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward proxy-related materials to OBOs. Generally, OBOs who have not waived the right to receive proxy-related materials will either:

(a)

be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number and class of securities beneficially owned by the OBO but which is not otherwise completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the non-registered owner when submitting the proxy. In this case, the OBO who wishes to vote by proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it as specified; or

   
(b)

be given a Voting Instruction Form which the Intermediary must follow. The OBO should properly complete and sign the Voting Instruction Form and submit it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit non-registered owners to direct the voting of the common shares they beneficially own. Should a non-registered owner who receives either form of proxy wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the non-registered owner should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the non-registered owner’s name in the blank space provided. Non-registered owners should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary including those regarding when and where the form of proxy or Voting Instruction Form is to be delivered.

2


Management of EFI does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward the Notice and Access Package to OBOs. An OBO will not receive the Notice and Access Package unless the Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

DISTRIBUTION OF MEETING MATERIALS TO NON-OBJECTING BENEFICIAL OWNERS

The Notice and Access Package is being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities using notice and access pursuant to NI 54-101. Electronic copies of the Circular and the Notice of Meeting may be found and downloaded from www.meetingdocuments.com/cst/EFR. If you are a NOBO, and EFI or its agent has sent the Notice and Access Package directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf.

EFI (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering the Notice and Access Package to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The authorized capital of EFI consists of an unlimited number of common shares, an unlimited number of preferred shares issuable in series, and an unlimited number of Series A preferred shares. On November 5, 2013, EFI consolidated the then outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation share for every fifty pre-consolidation shares (the “Consolidation”). No fractional common shares were issued pursuant to the Consolidation. As of March 24, 2014, the Corporation had issued and outstanding 19,683,472 common shares (“EFI Common Shares”) and no preferred shares.

The Corporation made a list of all persons who are registered holders of EFI Common Shares as of the close of business on March 24, 2014 (the “Record Date”) and the number of EFI Common Shares registered in the name of each person on that date. Each shareholder as of the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each EFI Common Share registered in his or her name as it appears on the list on all matters which come before the Meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Corporation, as of March 24, 2014, no shareholder beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to any class of outstanding voting securities of the Corporation entitled to be voted at the Meeting.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

Election of Directors

The board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board") may consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of fifteen directors, who are elected annually. The Board is currently composed of eleven directors. At its meeting on March 26, 2014, the Board considered the appropriate size of the Board with a view to facilitating effective decision-making, and has determined that the size of the Board should be reduced from eleven directors, to nine directors. Accordingly, nine directors will be elected at the Meeting. As a result of this determination and change in the size of the Board, Messrs. W. Robert Dengler and Steven N. Khan have decided not to stand for re-election as directors, and will therefore not be nominated for re-election at the Meeting.

3


When determining nominees for election, the Board also considers its strategic relationship with Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”). KEPCO is the primary utility in South Korea and an international supplier of nuclear reactors worldwide. KEPCO has its head office in Seoul, South Korea, and currently owns approximately 8.7% of the outstanding EFI Common Shares. Energy Fuels and KEPCO entered into a strategic relationship agreement in 2013, which provides for a long-term collaborative business relationship. Under this agreement, the Corporation agreed to nominate one person designated by KEPCO for election as a director at any shareholder meeting where directors are to be elected, so long as KEPCO holds more than 5% of the outstanding EFI Common Shares. KEPCO has designated Mr. Tae Hwan Kim as its nominee.

As further discussed below, on January 23, 2014, the Board approved certain amendments to the Corporation’s By-Law No. 1 to add an advance notice requirement for nominations of directors by shareholders. As of the date hereof, the Corporation has not received notice of any director nominations in connection with this year’s Meeting.

Shareholders will vote for the election of each individual director separately. The Corporation has adopted a majority voting policy for the election of directors whereby any nominee (in an uncontested election) who receives a greater number of shares withheld from voting than shares voted in favour of his or her election is expected to tender his or her resignation to the Board, to take effect upon acceptance by the Board. The Board will, within 90 days of the Meeting, determine whether to accept any such offer to resign. See Schedule “A” Corporate Governance Disclosure.

The following table provides the names of and information for the nominees for election as directors of the Corporation (the “Nominees”). The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote for the election of each of the Nominees. Management does not contemplate that any of the Nominees will be unable to serve as a director. All directors so elected will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed, unless his office is vacated earlier in accordance with the by-laws of EFI or with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

Except as set out below, to the knowledge of the Corporation, no director of the Corporation is, or has been in the last 10 years, (a) a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of a company that (i) while that person was acting in that capacity, was the subject of a cease trade order or similar order (including a management cease trade order) or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemptions under Canadian securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, or (ii) after that person ceased to act in that capacity, was the subject of a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the issuer access to any exemption under Canadian securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, which resulted from an event that occurred while that person acted in such capacity, or (b) a director or executive officer of a company that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or (c) become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold his assets.

Mr. Bovaird was a director of HMZ Metals Inc. (“HMZ) at the time a management cease trade order was issued on September 6, 2005 requiring the directors, officers and insiders of HMZ to cease all trading in, or acquisition of, the securities of HMZ due to HMZ’s failure to file its interim financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The management cease trade order issued on September 6, 2005 expired on October 20, 2005. The management cease trade order issued on April 3, 2006 expired and was replaced with a permanent management cease trade order dated April 17, 2006, which was allowed to expire on June 2, 2008. Mr. Bovaird was also an independent director of Fort Chimo Minerals Inc. (“Fort Chimo”) at the time a management cease trade order was issued on June 5, 2007 requiring the directors, officers and insiders of Fort Chimo to cease all trading in, or acquisition of, the securities of Fort Chimo due to Fort Chimo’s failure to file its interim financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. The management cease trade order was allowed to expire on July 9, 2007 after Fort Chimo remedied the filing default.

Mr. Carroll is a director and President and Chief Executive Officer of World Wide Minerals Ltd., a Canadian public company which is subject to an issuer cease trade order issued by the Ontario Securities Commission on May 9, 2011 for failure to file financial statements and has not been revoked. Mr. Carroll was an independent director of Argus Corporation Limited (“Argus”) from April 2004 to November 2004 and of Hollinger from August 2004 to July 2005. In those capacities, he was subject to a management cease trade order issued by the Ontario Securities Commission on June 3, 2004, as varied, in respect of Argus, and June 1, 2004, as varied, in respect of Hollinger. Both management cease trade orders were issued because of Argus’ and Hollinger’s failure to file their respective financial statements and other requisite reports and have not expired. Argus and Hollinger were not able to file such financial statements and reports as a result of the non-filing of financial statements by their subsidiary Hollinger International, Inc. (now Sun-Times Media Group, Inc.).

Appointment of Auditors

The auditors of EFI are KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, who were first appointed auditors of EFI on April 12, 2007. The persons named in the form of proxy accompanying this Circular intend to vote for the reappointment of KPMG LLP as the auditors of EFI for the ensuing year or until their successors are appointed and to authorize the directors of EFI to fix the remuneration of the auditors, unless the shareholder has specified in the form of proxy that the EFI Common Shares represented by such proxy are to be withheld from voting in respect thereof.

Approval of By-Law No. 2 of the Corporation

The Corporation originally adopted its general By-Law No. 1 (the “Existing By-Law”) on April 15, 2005, which was ratified by shareholders on June 13, 2005. On January 23, 2014, the Board approved By-Law No. 2 (the “Proposed By-Law”), which updates the Existing By-Law to meet current industry practices and replaces and repeals the Existing By-Law. The Proposed By-Law became effective upon its approval by the Board. However, pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Act”), the Proposed By-Law will cease to be effective unless confirmed by a resolution adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast by shareholders at the Meeting. The full text of the Proposed By-Law is set forth in Schedule “B” to this Management Information Circular.

Summary of Notable Differences between the Proposed By-Laws and the Existing By-Laws

A copy of the Proposed By-Law is attached as Schedule “B” to this Circular. A summary of the notable differences between the Proposed By-Law and the Existing By-Law is provided below.

9



Subject Matter
Proposed By-
Law Section
Discussion
Execution of Instruments 2.2

The Existing By-Law provides that the default requirement for execution of instruments is any two of the chairman, president or secretary. This default requirement in the Proposed By-Law is any one director or officer.

Canadian Majority directors 4.2

The Existing By-Law requires that a majority of the directors holding office, a majority of the directors participating in a Board meeting, and a majority of each committee of the Board, be resident Canadians. Since the Existing By-Law was enacted, the Canadian resident requirement in the Act was reduced to 25%. The Proposed By-Law reflects the 25% requirement.

Calling of Board Meetings 4.10

The Existing By-Law provides that Board meetings shall be held at such time and place as the Chairman of the Board, the Managing Director, the President, or any director may determine. The Proposed By-Law provides that Board meetings shall be held at such time and place as the Board, the Chair of the Board, the CEO, the President, a Vice-President who is a director, or any two directors may determine.

Audit Committee 5.1

The Existing By-Law specifies that the Audit Committee shall have the powers and duties provided in the Act. The Proposed By-Law is more general, as the requirements of the Corporation’s Audit Committee are prescribed not just in the Act, but also in the Securities Act (Ontario) and in various rules adopted under the Securities Act (Ontario).

Treasurer 6.1

The Existing By-Law refers to the appointment of a Treasurer, while the Proposed By-Law refers to the appointment of a Chief Financial Officer.

Dividend Cheques 9.2

The Existing By-Law requires that dividends by paid by cheque. The Proposed By-Law provides more flexibility in the manner in which dividends may be paid.

Method of Giving Notice 11.1

The Existing By-Law requires that notices be mailed, personally delivered, or sent by any means of transmitted or recorded communication. The Proposed By-Law specifically permits delivery of notices by electronic means in accordance with the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (Ontario).

Ratification of the Proposed By-Law

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to ratify the Proposed By-Law as adopted by the Board on January 23, 2014, in replacement of the Existing By-Law. A copy of the Proposed By-Law is attached as Schedule “B” to this Circular, and a summary of the material differences between the Proposed By-Law and the Existing By-Law is set out above.

Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve, with or without amendment, the following resolution (the “Proposed By-Law Approval Resolution”):

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

  1.

By-Law No. 2 of the Corporation, substantially in the form set out in the management information circular of the Corporation dated March 26, 2014, be and is hereby approved, ratified and confirmed;

     
  2.

By-Law No. 1 of the Corporation is hereby repealed; and

     
  3.

any one director or officer of the Corporation, be, and each of them is hereby, authorized and directed for and on behalf and in the name of the Corporation, to execute or cause to be executed and to deliver or cause to be delivered all such documents, and to do or cause to be done all such acts and things, as in the opinion of such director or officer may be necessary or desirable in order to give effect to this resolution.

10


To be effective, the Proposed By-Law Approval Resolution must be approved by not less than a majority of the votes cast by the holders of EFI Common Shares present in person, or represented by proxy, at the Meeting.

The Board believes that approval of the Proposed By-Law and repeal of the Existing By-Law is in the best interests of the Corporation and therefore unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the Proposed By-Law Approval Resolution. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy, if not expressly directed to the contrary in such form of proxy, to vote the proxy in favor of the Proposed By-Law Approval Resolution at the Meeting.”

Ratification of Advance Notice Amendment to By-Laws

On January 23, 2014, the Board approved an amendment to By-Law No. 2 of the Corporation (or, if the repeal of By-law No. 1A and the making of By-law No. 2 is not ratified by shareholders at the Meeting, By-law No. 1A) (the “By-Law Amendment”) to add an advance notice requirement (the “Advance Notice Requirement”) in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by shareholders other than pursuant to: (a) a requisition to call a shareholders meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Act; or (b) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the Act.

The By-Law Amendment became effective upon its approval by the Board. However, pursuant to the provisions of the Act, the By-Law Amendment will cease to be effective unless confirmed by a resolution adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast by shareholders at the Meeting. The full text of the By-Law Amendment is set forth in Schedule “C” to this Management Information Circular.

Among other things, the Advance Notice Requirement fixes a deadline by which shareholders must submit a notice of director nominations to the Corporation prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders where directors are to be elected, and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice for it to be valid.

In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Corporation must be given not less than 35 and not more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.

In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting), notice to the Corporation must be given not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.

The Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement of the Advance Notice Requirement.

The Corporation and the Board believe that the Advance Notice Requirement provides a clear process for shareholders to follow to nominate directors and sets out a reasonable time frame for nominee submissions along with a requirement for accompanying information, allowing the Corporation and the shareholders to evaluate all nominees’ qualifications and suitability as a director of the Corporation. The purpose of the Advance Notice Requirement is to treat all shareholders fairly by ensuring that all shareholders, including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person, receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and sufficient information with respect to all nominees and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. In addition, the Advance Notice Requirement should assist in facilitating an orderly and efficient meeting process.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to adopt a resolution in substantially the form set out below (the “By-Law Amendment Resolution”), approving, ratifying and confirming the By-Law Amendment:

11


BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

  1.

the amendment to By-Law No. 2 of the Corporation (or, if the repeal of By-law No. 1A and the making of By-law No. 2 is not ratified by shareholders at this Meeting, By-law No. 1A), substantially in the form set out in the management information circular of the Corporation dated March 26, 2014, be and is hereby approved, ratified and confirmed;

     
  2.

the restatement of By-Law No. 2 of the Corporation (or, if the repeal of By-law No. 1A and the making of By-law No. 2 is not ratified by shareholders at this Meeting, By-law No. 1A) to reflect the foregoing amendment be and is hereby authorized; and

     
  3.

any one director or officer of the Corporation, be, and each of them is hereby, authorized and directed for and on behalf and in the name of the Corporation, to execute or cause to be executed and to deliver or cause to be delivered all such documents, and to do or cause to be done all such acts and things, as in the opinion of such director or officer may be necessary or desirable in order to give effect to this resolution.

To be effective, the By-Law Amendment Resolution must be approved by not less than a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person, or represented by proxy, at the Meeting.

The Board believes that the By-Law Amendment is in the best interests of the Corporation and therefore unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the By-Law Amendment Resolution. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy, if not expressly directed to the contrary in such form of proxy, to vote the proxy in favor of the By-Law Amendment Resolution at the Meeting.”

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Governance

During the most recently completed financial year, EFI's compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”), was made up of four directors, being J. Birks Bovaird, W. Robert Dengler, Bruce D. Hansen, and Richard J. Patricio, each of whom is independent. Each of Messrs. Bovaird, Dengler, Hansen and Patricio has direct educational and work experience that is relevant to his responsibilities in executive compensation. The Compensation Committee has been delegated the task of reviewing and recommending to the Board the Corporation’s compensation policies, and reviewing such policies on a periodic basis to ensure they remain current, competitive and consistent with the Corporation’s overall goals.

The Compensation Committee also has the authority and responsibility to review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), evaluating the CEO’s performance in light of those corporate goals and objectives, and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the CEO’s compensation level (including salary incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans) based on this evaluation, as well as making recommendations to the Board with respect to any employment, severance or change of control agreements for the CEO. The ultimate decision relating to the CEO’s compensation rests with the Board, taking into consideration the Compensation Committee’s recommendations, corporate and individual performance, and industry standards.

12


The Compensation Committee has also been delegated the task of reviewing and approving for executive officers, other than the CEO, all compensation (including salary, incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans) and any employment, severance or change of control agreements, although the ultimate decision relating to any stock option or other equity grants rests with the Board. The experience of Board and committee members who are also involved as management of, or board members or advisors to, other companies also factors into decisions concerning compensation.

In September 2013, the Corporation engaged the Harlon Group, a compensation consulting company, to conduct a compensation study for employees, the executive team and the Board. The Harlon Group produced reports for each of these three groups during the fall of 2013 and was then asked, in January 2014, to provide data on stock option practices in the industry for the executive team and the Board. These reports were considered by the Compensation Committee in making its determinations and recommendations to the Board. The compensation survey data utilized in the Harlon Group’s review is from: (a) the Harlon Group proprietary salary survey data base containing over 6,000 titles of executive jobs in all industries for all sized organizations in the continental US, Canada, UK, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand, including the Coopers Mining Salary Survey – 2011; and (b) a benchmark analysis of the following publicly held companies, considered to be a peer group for the Corporation, utilizing 2012 data from their respective 2013 proxy statements:

Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE MKT: UEC) a US-based uranium mining and exploration company
Powertech Uranium Corp. (TSX: PWE) a uranium company with advanced properties in South Dakota and Colorado
UR-Energy Inc. – (NYSE MKT: URG) a junior uranium mining company
General Moly Inc. – (NYSE MKT: GMO) a US-based mineral company engaged in the exploration, development and mining of molybdenum
Uranerz Energy Corp. – (NYSE MKT: URZ) - a US mining company focused on near term commercial in-situ recovery uranium production
Uranium Resources Inc. - (NASDAQ MKT: URRE) - exploring, developing and mining uranium
Denison Mines Corp. - (NYSE MKT: DNN) - engaging in the exploration, development, mining, and milling of uranium in Canada, Zambia, and Mongolia
Hallador Energy Inc. – (NASDAQ MKT: HNRG) - primary focus in coal and oil and gas production
Peninsula Energy Ltd. – (ASX MKT: PEN) - an emerging uranium company with assets in Wyoming, USA and Karoo, South Africa
Aura Energy Ltd. – (ASX MKT: AEE) - Australian based uranium company that has advanced projects with large resources in Europe, Africa and Australia.

The following table sets forth the fees paid to consultants and advisors related to determining compensation for Named Executive Officers (NEOs) and directors for each of the two most recently completed financial years.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Objectives of the Compensation Program

The objectives of EFI’s compensation programs are to attract and retain the best possible executives and to motivate the executives to achieve goals consistent with EFI’s business strategy. The compensation program is designed to reward executives for achieving these goals.

Elements of Compensation

The compensation practices are flexible, entrepreneurial and geared to meeting the requirements of the individual and hence securing the best possible talent to manage EFI. During fiscal 2013, the three key elements used to compensate the NEOs of the Corporation were: (i) base salary; (ii) bonuses; and (iii) long-term incentives in the form of stock options. The Corporation had five NEOs during fiscal 2013: Stephen P. Antony; Graham G. Moylan; Harold R. Roberts; David C. Frydenlund and Gary R. Steele.

Determination of Compensation

Base Salaries

Base salary is a fixed component of pay that compensates executives for fulfilling their roles and responsibilities and aids in attracting and retaining qualified executives.

Base compensation for the CEO is generally fixed by the Board at its regularly scheduled meeting in January of each year for that year, based on recommendations from the Compensation Committee. In making its recommendations to the Board, the Compensation Committee evaluates the CEO’s performance in light of the corporate goals and objectives set by the Compensation Committee for the CEO for the previous year, as well as levels of compensation provided by industry competitors. Increases or decreases in base salary on a year-over-year basis are dependent on the Compensation Committee’s recommendation to the Board and the Board’s assessment of the performance of EFI overall, EFI’s projects and the CEO’s individual contribution.

Base compensation for the NEOs, other than the CEO, is generally fixed by the Compensation Committee at its regularly scheduled meeting in January of each year for that year, based on recommendations from the CEO. In making his recommendations to the Compensation Committee, the CEO evaluates the NEO’s performance in light of the corporate goals and objectives set by the CEO for the NEOs for the previous year, as well as levels of compensation provided by industry competitors. Increases or decreases in base salary on a year-over-year basis are dependent on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the performance of EFI overall, EFI’s projects and the particular individual’s contributions.

14


Bonuses

Along with the establishment of competitive base salaries and long-term incentives, one of the objectives of the executive compensation strategy is to encourage and recognize strong levels of performance by linking achievement by EFI of such specific objectives and the overall performance of the NEO, and in particular the contribution of the NEO, to the objective of maximizing value for EFI’s shareholders.

The bonus for the CEO for each financial year is approved by the Board, based on the overall financial performance of the Corporation, the achievement of objective measures and individual performance of the CEO as described under “Performance Goals”, and levels of bonuses provided by benchmark companies. The bonus for the CEO is determined in the sole discretion of the Board, based on recommendations from the Compensation Committee.

The bonus for the NEOs, other than the CEO, for each financial year are approved by the Compensation Committee, based on the overall financial performance of the Corporation, the achievement of objective measures and individual performance of the NEO as described under “Performance Goals”, and levels of bonuses provided by benchmark companies. Bonuses for the NEOs other than the CEO are determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, based on recommendations from the CEO, and the overall bonus pool approved by the Board in the budget for the year.

The bonus in respect of each financial year of EFI may be paid in one or more instalments, as determined by the Board, or the Compensation Committee, as the case may be.

Long-Term Incentives - Stock Options

EFI relies on the grant of stock options (“EFI Options”) to align management’s interests with shareholder value. Grant ranges are established independently each time grants of EFI Options are made, to provide competitive long-term incentive value, with significant recognition of the contribution and potential of the individual. The EFI Options generally have a five year term and, under the 2013 amended and restated stock option plan (the “EFI Option Plan”), an exercise price not less than the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. For more information on the EFI Option Plan see “Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans” below.

All grants of EFI Options are approved by the Board, based on recommendations from the Compensation Committee. When recommending to the Board the number of EFI Options to be granted to an NEO, the Compensation Committee takes into account recommendations from the CEO. The Compensation Committee also considers the number and terms of EFI Options previously granted to the NEO, and considers option compensation granted by benchmark companies to executives with similar responsibilities, comparing such grants on the basis of the percentage they represent of base salary rather than the absolute number of such options. EFI Options granted to NEOs may be made subject to specific vesting requirements which may include vesting over a particular period.

Performance Goals

Performance goals apply in determining base salary increases, bonus awards, and the number of stock option awards for each NEO. These goals are subjective and, therefore, subject to discretion by the Compensation Committee and the Board. The following are summaries of the key performance goals and expectations applicable to the NEOs during 2013:

17


The Compensation Committee considers the implications of risks associated with compensation policies and practices by working closely with the CEO. The CEO is tasked with ensuring that: (i) fair and competitive practices are followed regarding employee compensation at all levels of the Corporation; (ii) the compensation practices do not encourage an NEO or individual at a principal business unit or division to take inappropriate or excessive risk or that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on EFI; and (iii) compensation policies and practices include regulatory, environmental compliance and sustainability as part of the performance metrics used in determining compensation. The CEO’s recommendations on these matters are taken into consideration by the Compensation Committee when reviewing and recommending to the Board the Corporation’s compensation policies.

EFI has in place a policy that restricts NEOs and directors from purchasing financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, which are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director.

Performance Graph

The following graph compares the total cumulative shareholder return for C$100 invested in EFI Common Shares on October 1, 2008 with the total return of the S&P/TSX Composite GIC (Diversified Metals and Mining) Index for the five most recently completed financial years (assuming reinvestment of dividends) and reflects the Consolidation which occurred on November 5, 2013. EFI Common Shares are listed for trading on the TSX under the symbol “EFR” and on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “UUUU”.

(2) Reflects the Consolidation of common shares of the Corporation.

EFI’s compensation to executive officers has generally increased during the five most recently completed financial years. The total cumulative shareholder return for an investment in EFI Common Shares has decreased over the same period, commencing in 2011, due in part to the Fukushima natural disaster which occurred in March 2011 and the resulting decrease in uranium prices since that time. Executive compensation has increased during that period, in part due to the competition among organizations operating in the natural resources sector to attract and retain the best possible executives.

19


Option-Based Awards

The EFI Option Plan has been and will be used to provide share purchase options which are granted in consideration of the level of responsibility of the executive as well as his or her impact or contribution to the longer-term operating performance of EFI. In determining the number of EFI Options to be granted to the executive officers, the Board takes into account the number of EFI Options, if any, previously granted to each executive officer, and the exercise price of any outstanding such options to ensure that such grants are in accordance with the policies of the TSX, and closely align the interests of the executive officers with the interests of shareholders.

All option-based awards are approved by the Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee.

Summary Compensation Table

In November 2013 the Corporation changed its financial year end from September 30 to December 31, which resulted in the most recent financial year being a 15-month financial period ended December 31, 2013. With the exception of Mr. Moylan whose compensation was paid in Canadian dollars, the compensation of the NEOs is paid and reported in United States dollars.

Notes:
   
(1)

The year 2013 represents the 15-month financial period ended December 31, 2013, which period resulted from the change of year-end from September 30 to December 31. The years 2012 and 2011 represent the 12-month financial years ended on September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

 

(2)

The fair value of each option award granted at the time of the grant was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For the assumptions made in calculating the fair value of these options, see “Note 20 – Share-Based Payments” to EFI’s financial statements for the 15-month period ended December 31, 2013. Option fair values were calculated in Canadian dollars and converted into US dollars using an average annual exchange rate of: (i) Cdn$1 to US$0.9782 for the financial period ended December 31, 2013; (ii) Cdn$1 to US$1.0074 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012; and (iii) Cdn$1 to US$0.9867 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

 

(3)

These amounts represent retirement savings benefits contributed by the Corporation.

Pension Plan Benefits and Deferred Compensation Plans

EFI does not provide defined pension plan benefits or any other pension plans that provide for payments or benefits at, following or in connection with retirement to its directors or officers.

EFI does not have any deferred compensation plans relating to its NEOs.

Termination and Change of Control Benefits

The events that trigger payment to an NEO on account of a change of control are negotiated and documented in each employment contract or letter of understanding. These benefits attempt to balance the protection of the employee upon a change of control with the preservation of the executive base in the event such a change of control occurs. As noted below, there are certain circumstances that trigger payment, vesting of stock options, or the provision of other benefits to an NEO upon termination and change of control.

EFI has employment agreements or letters of understanding with each of the NEOs.

Stephen P. Antony

In the event of the termination of Mr. Antony’s employment without cause or upon a change of control of EFI, Mr. Antony will be entitled to receive all outstanding base salary and vacation accrued to the date of termination and a lump sum payment equal to two and one-half times his base salary, plus two and one-half times the amount of his highest annual performance bonus paid for any fiscal year beginning October 1, 2007. In the event of death or disability, Mr. Antony is entitled to receive all outstanding base salary and vacation accrued, plus payment of his base salary, either in a lump sum payment in the event of death or, in the event of a disability, over a period of twelve months thereafter. The effective term of Mr. Antony’s employment agreement is October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2015.

The estimated additional payment to Mr. Antony in the case of termination without cause, or upon a change of control, assuming that the triggering event took place on December 31, 2013 is US$1,525,000.

Graham G. Moylan

In the event Mr. Moylan’s employment was terminated without just cause, Mr. Moylan was entitled to termination pay in an amount equivalent to what he would have received in compensation and benefits for the twelve months following the date on which he was given written notification of termination, on the basis that Mr. Moylan’s bonus entitlement during such twelve month period shall be the greater of (a) the average of the annual bonus payments provided to him during his three preceding years of employment, and (b) 15% of his base salary. The estimated additional payment to Mr. Moylan in the case of such a termination, assuming that the termination took place on December 31, 2013, was $283,001 (based on an exchange rate of C$1.00 to US$0.9402 as of December 31, 2013).

22


Further, in the event of a change of control, Mr. Moylan may have elected to terminate his employment with EFI unilaterally within thirty days of the occurrence of the change of control. In such case, EFI would have paid Mr. Moylan all outstanding base salary and vacation pay accrued to the effective date of termination and provided a lump sum payment equal to two times his base salary plus two times the amount of the highest annual performance bonus paid to him. The estimated additional payment to Mr. Moylan in the case of termination upon a change of control, assuming that the triggering event took place on December 31, 2013, was $498,308 (based on an exchange rate of C$1.00 to US$0.9402 as of December 31, 2013).

It should be noted that Mr. Moylan resigned as CFO of the Corporation effective February 15, 2014, and, as a result, none of the foregoing amounts are payable to Mr. Moylan.

Harold R. Roberts

In the event Mr. Roberts is laid off, he will be entitled to severance pay in an amount equal to twelve months of his base salary at the time of layoff plus the greater of (a) one times any bonus received between July 1, 2012 and the time of layoff, or (b) 15% of his current base salary at the time of layoff. The estimated additional payment to Mr. Roberts in the case of a layoff, assuming that the triggering event took place on December 31, 2013 is $272,100.

Further, in the event that within six months after a change of control, Mr. Roberts is terminated by EFI or its successor, or elects to resign for Good Reason (defined to include a material reduction or diminution in the level of responsibility, a reduction in the compensation level of more than 15% or a proposed, forced relocation to another geographic region), EFI will pay Mr. Roberts all outstanding base salary and vacation pay accrued to the effective date of termination and will provide a lump sum payment equal to one and one-half times his base salary plus one and one-half times the amount of the highest annual performance bonus paid to him. The estimated additional payment to Mr. Roberts in the case of termination upon a change of control, assuming that the triggering event took place on the last business day of the 15-month period ended December 31, 2013, is US$423,150.

David C. Frydenlund

In the event Mr. Frydenlund is laid off, he will be entitled to severance pay in an amount equal to three months of his base salary at the time of layoff. The estimated additional payment to Mr. Frydenlund in the case of a layoff, assuming that the layoff took place on December 31, 2013, is US$57,500. In addition, the Corporation will reimburse all direct costs of relocating Mr. Frydenlund and his family to Canada, provided such relocation occurs within 14 months from the date of termination. Such reimbursement will not apply to the extent the costs contemplated are paid by another employer.

Further, in the event that within six months after a change of control, Mr. Frydenlund is terminated by EFI or its successor, or elects to resign for Good Reason (defined to include a material reduction or diminution in the level of responsibility, a reduction in the compensation level of more than 15% or a proposed, forced relocation to another geographic region), EFI will pay Mr. Frydenlund all outstanding base salary and vacation pay accrued to the effective date of termination and will provide a lump sum payment equal to one times his base salary plus one times the amount of the highest annual performance bonus paid to him since 2010. The estimated additional payment to Mr. Frydenlund in the case of termination upon a change of control, assuming that the triggering event took place on December 31, 2013, is US$289,600.

23


Gary R. Steele

In the event of a change of control, Mr. Steele may elect to terminate his employment with EFI unilaterally within thirty days of the occurrence of the change of control. If his employment is so terminated, EFI will pay Mr. Steele all outstanding base salary and vacation pay accrued to the effective date of termination and will provide a lump sum payment equal to one and one-half times his base salary plus one and one-half times the amount of the highest annual performance bonus paid to him. The estimated additional payment to Mr. Steele in the case of termination upon a change of control, assuming that the triggering event took place on December 31, 2013, is US$322,500.

Director Compensation

Director Compensation Table

EFI’s policy with respect to directors’ compensation was developed by the Board, on recommendation of the Compensation Committee. As noted above, during 2013 the Corporation changed its financial year-end from September 30 to December 31, which resulted in the most recent financial year being the 15-month period ended December 31, 2013. The following table sets forth the compensation awarded, paid to or earned by the directors of EFI during the most recently completed financial year. Directors of EFI who are also officers or employees of EFI are not compensated for service on the Board; therefore no fees are payable to Stephen P. Antony for his service as a director of EFI.

Retainer and Meeting Fees

EFI’s director compensation program is designed to enable EFI to attract and retain highly qualified individuals to serve as directors. In fiscal 2013, directors’ compensation, which is paid only to non-employee directors, consisted of: For the period October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013:

  annual retainer for Board Member of C$20,000;
     
  annual retainer for committee (other than Audit Committee) Chairs of C$25,000;
     
  annual retainer for audit committee Chair of C$40,000;
     
  annual retainer for Chair of the Board of C$50,000;
     
meeting fee of C$1,500 per meeting for any and all Board and committee meetings if attended in person or telephonically; and
     
  reimbursement of related travel and out-of-pocket expenses.

Effective October 1, 2013, the Board reduced by 25% all compensation of the members of the Board, including all annual base compensation for Board members, Chairs of Committees, the Audit Chair and the Chairman of the Board, and all meeting fees for Board and Committee meetings. This reduction does not apply to reimbursement of expenses. As a result of this reduction, effective October 1, 2013, the directors’ compensation, which is paid only to non-employee directors, consisted of:

For the period October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013:

  annual retainer for Board Member of C$15,000;
     
  annual retainer for committee (other than Audit Committee) Chairs of C$18,750;
     
  annual retainer for audit committee Chair of C$30,000;

Share Ownership Requirement

At its meeting held on January 23, 2014, the Board adopted a share ownership requirement for Board members. It provides that all non-employee directors must own a requisite number of EFI Common Shares by the later of five years from the commencement of their directorship or the date on which the EFI Common Share ownership requirement was adopted. Under this requirement, non-employee directors are required to own EFI Common Shares with a value equal to twice the value of their annual director retainers. EFI Common Shares are valued at the higher of the price they were acquired or the year-end closing price of the Corporation’s shares on the TSX for the previous year. Further, until such time as a non-employee director reaches his or her share ownership requirement, the non-employee director is required to hold 50% of all EFI Common Shares received upon exercise of stock options (net of any EFI Common Shares utilized to pay for the exercise price of the option and tax withholding), and shall not otherwise sell or transfer any EFI Common Shares. This requirement does not apply to a nominee of a shareholder of the Corporation pursuant to a contractual right of the shareholder to nominate one or more directors to the Board. As a result, these requirements do not apply to Mr. Kim, as the nominee of KEPCO, which has a contractual right to designate a nominee for election as a director.

EFI Option Plan

The stock option plan of the Corporation was established by the directors on February 24, 2003 and first approved by shareholders on July 8, 2003. The stock option plan was re-approved by shareholders on June 13, 2005, and again on May 26, 2006. At an annual and special meeting of shareholders held on May 16, 2007, the 2007 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan was approved, which reflected certain amendments to the stock option plan of EFI so as to remove provisions that were required when EFI was listed on the TSX-V, but were no longer required after EFI became listed on the TSX in March 2007. The 2007 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan was again ratified by shareholders at the annual and special meeting of shareholders on March 10, 2010. On January 25, 2013, the Board approved the EFI Option Plan, which incorporates amendments and updates to the 2007 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, to update the plan to meet current industry practices. The EFI Option Plan was ratified by shareholders at the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on March 6, 2013.

Strathmore Replacement Options

The Corporation issued 292,971 stock options of the Corporation (adjusted for the Consolidation) to the holders of options granted pursuant to the Strathmore Option Plan in connection with the acquisition of Strathmore on August 31, 2013. These options are exercisable for EFI Common Shares. No further stock options will be granted pursuant to the Strathmore Option Plan. The options have varying expiry dates with the last options expiring in October 2022.

SCHEDULE A

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

The board of directors (the “Board”) of Energy Fuels Inc. (“EFI”) is currently comprised of eleven directors.

The Board is responsible for determining whether or not each director is independent. This assessment is made in accordance with standards of the Canadian Securities Administrators in National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”) and the Corporation’s corporate governance policies. Under NI 52-110, a director is considered to be unrelated and independent by the Board if the Board determines that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with EFI. A material relationship is a relationship that could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the director’s judgment independent of management. With the assistance of the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Board reviews each director’s independence annually and upon the appointment or election of a new director. The Board last considered this matter at its meeting on March 26, 2014.

Nine of the eleven directors are considered by the Board to be independent within the meaning of NI 52-110. Stephen P. Antony is not an independent director as he is the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of EFI. Mr. Kim is regarded as having an indirect material relationship which could reasonably be expected to interfere with his exercise of independent judgment, considering the Corporation’s strategic relationship with KEPCO, KEPCO’s significant shareholding in the Corporation and his position with KEPCO. However, each of the remaining directors, namely, J. Birks Bovaird, Paul A. Carroll, W. Robert Dengler, Lawrence A. Goldberg, Mark E. Goodman, Bruce D. Hansen, Ron F. Hochstein, Steven N. Khan and Richard Patricio are independent directors of EFI. A majority of the directors of EFI are therefore independent within the meaning of NI 52-101. Messrs. Dengler and Khan are not standing for re-election at the meeting.

A number of directors of EFI are also directors of other reporting issuers. See “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meeting Election of Directors” in EFI’s Management Information Circular dated March 26, 2014.

The Chair of the Board of EFI, J. Birks Bovaird, is not a member of management and is an unrelated and independent director. One of his principal responsibilities is to oversee the Board processes so that it operates efficiently and effectively in carrying out its duties and to act as a liaison between the Board and management.

The independent directors of the Board are encouraged by the Board to hold private sessions as such independent directors deem necessary in the circumstances. In the 15-month period ended December 31, 2013, the independent directors held separate in camera sessions following 12 Board meetings, and had informal discussions from time to time.

The Board held a total of 15 meetings during the financial year ended December 31, 2013, which was a 15-month period. The following table shows the number of Board meetings each director attended during that period.

Board Mandate

The Board’s mandate is set out in EFI’s Corporate Governance Manual as approved by the Board. The Board is responsible, directly and through its committees, for the supervision of the management of the business and affairs of EFI. The Board seeks to ensure the viability and long-term financial strength of EFI and the creation of enduring shareholder value. In pursuing these objectives, the Board will have regard to the best interests of shareholders and EFI and to the needs of its other stakeholders, including the needs of the communities in which EFI conducts its business and the needs of its employees and suppliers.

To assist the Board in the implementation of its mandate, it delegates some of its responsibility to committees. The Board reviews and approves the structure, mandate and composition of its committees. It also receives and reviews periodic reports of the activities and findings of those committees.

The Board selects and appoints EFI’s President and CEO and, through him, other officers and senior management to whom the Board delegates certain of its power of management. The Board approves strategy, sets targets, performance standards and policies to guide them; monitors and advises management; sets their compensation and, if necessary, replaces them.

The Board reviews and approves, for release to shareholders, quarterly and annual reports on the performance of EFI, and certain other material public communications. The Board has implemented a Corporate Disclosure Policy, which it reviews annually, to ensure effective communication between EFI, its shareholders, respective investors, the public and other stakeholders, including the dissemination of information on a regular and timely basis. The CEO has dedicated a portion of his time to communicate with shareholders and prospective investors. Through its officers, EFI responds to questions and provides information to individual shareholders, institutional investors, financial analysts and the media.

A-2


The Board ensures that mechanisms are in place to guide the organization in its activities. The Board reviews and approves a broad range of internal control and management systems, including expenditure approvals and financial controls. Management is required by the Board to comply with legal and regulatory requirements with respect to all of EFI’s activities.

Position Descriptions

The Board has adopted a written position description for the CEO of EFI. The primary role of the CEO is to develop and recommend to the Board a long-term strategy and vision for the Corporation that leads to the creation of shareholder value, to develop and recommend to the Board annual business plans and budgets that support EFI’s long term strategy, and to ensure that the day-to day business affairs of EFI are appropriately managed, including evaluation of EFI’s operating performance and initiating appropriate action where required. In order to fulfill this role, the CEO is expected to ensure that EFI has an effective management team and to have an active plan for its development and succession, and to foster a corporate culture that promotes ethical practices, encourages individual integrity and fulfills social responsibility, including ensuring that EFI is in compliance with its Corporate Disclosure Policy and Environment, Health and Safety Policy and internal controls and procedures. Finally, the CEO is expected to ensure that EFI builds and maintains strong, positive relationships with its investors, employees and the corporate and public community.

The position description for the Chair of the Board is set out in EFI’s Corporate Governance Manual. The primary role of the Chair is to provide leadership to the Board, to ensure that the Board can function independently of management and fully discharges its duties. This involves acting as a liaison between the Board and management, working with management to schedule Board meetings and with committee chairs to coordinate scheduling committee meetings, ensuring the appropriate agendas for meetings, ensuring the proper flow of information to the Board, and reviewing the adequacy and timing of documented material in support of management’s proposals. The Chair of the Board also works with the Governance and Nominating Committee to ensure proper committee structure, including assignments of members and committee Chairs, as well as chairs all meetings of the Board, and when requested by the CEO, meetings of shareholders.

The Board has developed written position descriptions for the Chair of each committee. The primary responsibilities of the Chair of each committee are to: develop the agenda for each meeting of the committee, preside over committee meetings; oversee the committee’s compliance with its Charter or Terms of Reference and Mandate; work with management to develop the committee’s annual work plan; together with management, identify, review and evaluate matters of concern to the committee; and report regularly to the Board.

Orientation and Continuing Education

New directors are provided with a comprehensive information package on EFI and its management and are fully briefed by senior management on the corporate organization and key current issues. The information package includes contact information, EFI’s organizational chart, the Articles and By-Laws of EFI, EFI’s Corporate Governance Manual and certain key documents and plans such as EFI’s Stock Option Plan, Shareholder Rights Plan, Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance Policy and Indemnity Agreement. EFI’s Corporate Governance Manual describes the roles, responsibilities and mandates of the Board, its committees, its directors, the Chair of the Board, the Chairs of each committee and the CEO, and includes copies of all of EFI’s adopted codes and policies. In addition, new directors are introduced to EFI’s website, which includes EFI’s most recent Annual Information Form, Form 40-F, Management Information Circulars, press releases, material change reports and other continuous disclosure documents, all of which provide the information necessary for a new director to become familiar with the nature and operation of EFI’s business. Management is also available to answer any questions from or to provide any additional orientation for new directors that may be required. Visits to key operations may also be arranged for new directors.

A-3


Although EFI does not generally provide formal training programs for its directors, the Board encourages directors to participate in continuing education programs. One director has successfully completed a director certification program offered by a major Canadian university. In addition, Board members are often provided with notices and other correspondence from counsel and other advisors, which report on developments affecting corporate and securities law matters and governance generally. Any material developments affecting the ability of directors to meet their obligations as directors are brought to the attention of the Governance Committee by management, and appropriate actions are taken by the Governance and Nominating Committee to ensure that directors maintain the skill and knowledge necessary to meet their obligations.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) for the directors, officers, and employees of EFI, which is contained in EFI’s Corporate Governance Manual. The Corporate Governance Manual is provided to each new director, and a copy of the Code is provided to each new employee. The Code is also published on EFI’s website. In addition, at the time of each annual meeting of shareholders, the directors and officers of EFI are required to affirm their compliance with the Code in writing.

The Code sets out in detail the core values and the principles by which EFI is governed, and addresses topics such as: conflicts of interest, including transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest; protection and proper use of corporate assets and opportunities; confidentiality of corporate information; fair dealing with the Corporation’s security holders, customers, suppliers, competitors and employees; compliance with laws, rules and regulations; and reporting of any illegal or unethical behaviour. Under the Code and applicable law, any director or officer who has a material interest in a transaction or agreement is required to disclose his or her interest and refrain from voting or participating in any decision relating to the transaction or agreement.

The management of EFI is committed to fostering and maintaining a culture of high ethical standards and compliance that ensures a work environment that encourages employees to raise concerns to the attention of management and that promptly addresses any employee compliance concerns. Under the Code, all directors, officers, and employees must take all reasonable steps to prevent contraventions of the Code, to identify and raise issues before they lead to problems, and to seek additional guidance when necessary. If breaches of the Code occur, they must be reported promptly. EFI maintains appropriate records evidencing compliance with the Code. It is ultimately the Board’s responsibility for monitoring compliance with the Code. The Board will review the Code periodically and review management’s monitoring of compliance with the Code, and if necessary, consult with members of EFI’s senior management team and audit committee (the “Audit Committee”), as appropriate, to resolve any reported violations of the Code. Any waivers from the Code that are granted for the benefit of EFI’s directors or executive officers shall be granted by the Board. Violations of the Code by a director, officer or employee are grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination and possible legal prosecution.

Where a material departure from the Code by a director or executive officer constitutes a material change, EFI will file a material change report disclosing the date of the departure, the parties involved in the departure, the reason why the Board has or has not sanctioned the departure, and any measures the Board has taken to address or remedy the departure. No material change reports have been filed since the beginning of the financial year ended December 31, 2013 that pertain to any conduct of a director or executive officer that constitutes a departure from the Code.

A-4


EFI also expects all agents, consultants and contractors to comply with the Code.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has a Governance and Nominating Committee (the “GN Committee”), which is composed entirely of independent directors. The GN Committee has the general responsibility for developing and monitoring EFI’s approach to corporate governance issues and for identifying and recommending to the Board nominees for appointment or election as directors. The GN Committee’s responsibilities include the following: assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the Chair of the Board, the committees of the Board and the contribution of individual directors on a periodic basis; ensuring that, where necessary, appropriate structures and procedures are in place to ensure that the Board can function independently of management; periodically examining the size of the Board, with a view to determining the impact of the number of directors upon effectiveness; identifying individuals qualified to become new Board members and recommending to the Board all director nominees for election or appointment to the Board; assessing directors on an ongoing basis; and recommending to the Board the members to serve on the various committees. In addition, the GN Committee reviews EFI’s disclosure of its corporate governance practices in EFI’s Circular each year.

During the financial year ended December 31, 2013, the GN Committee was responsible for proposing new candidates for Board nomination. In making its recommendations to the Board, the GN Committee considers what competencies and skills the Board, as a whole, should possess, the competencies and skills each existing director possesses, and the competencies and skills each new nominee will bring to the boardroom. The GN Committee also considers whether or not each new nominee can devote sufficient time and resources to his or her duties as a Board member.

Majority Voting Policy

On January 25, 2013, the Board adopted a majority voting policy. Pursuant to the majority voting policy, forms of proxy for meetings of the shareholders of EFI at which directors are to be elected provide the option of voting in favour, or withholding from voting, for each individual nominee to the Board. If, with respect to any particular nominee, the number of shares withheld from voting exceeds the number of shares voted in favour of the nominee, then the nominee will be considered to have not received the support of the shareholders, and such nominee is expected to submit his or her resignation to the Board, to take effect on acceptance by the Board. The GN Committee and the compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) will review any such resignation and make a recommendation to the Board regarding whether or not such resignation should be accepted. The Board will determine whether to accept the resignation within 90 days following the shareholders’ meeting. If the resignation is accepted, subject to any corporate law restrictions, the Board may (i) leave the resultant vacancy in the Board unfilled until the next annual meeting of shareholders of EFI, (ii) fill the vacancy by appointing a director whom the Board considers to merit the confidence of the shareholders, or (iii) call a special meeting of the shareholders of EFI to consider the election of a nominee recommended by the Board to fill the vacant position. The majority voting policy applies only in the case of an uncontested shareholders’ meeting.

Compensation

EFI has a Compensation Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors. The Compensation Committee has been delegated the task of reviewing and recommending to the Board EFI’s compensation policies, and reviewing such policies on a periodic basis to ensure they remain current, competitive and consistent with EFI’s overall goals. The Compensation Committee also has the authority and responsibility to review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the CEO’s compensation, evaluating the CEO’s performance in light of those corporate goals and objectives, and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the CEO’s compensation level (including salary incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans) based on this evaluation, as well as making recommendations to the Board with respect to any employment, severance or change of control agreements for the CEO. The ultimate decision relating to the CEO’s compensation issues rests with the Board, taking into consideration the Compensation Committee’s recommendations, corporate and individual performance, and industry standards. The Compensation Committee has also been delegated the task of reviewing and approving for executive officers, other than the CEO, all compensation (including salary, incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans) and any employment, severance or change in control agreements, although the ultimate decision relating to any stock option or other equity grants rests with the Board. The experience of Board and committee members who are also involved as management of, or board members or advisors to, other companies also factors into decisions concerning compensation; however no formal objectives, criteria or analysis are used.

A-5


The Compensation Committee is also responsible for making recommendations to the Board with respect to the adequacy and form of compensation payable to and benefits of directors in their capacity as directors (including Board and committee retainers, meeting and committee fees, incentive compensation plans, and equity-based plans), so as to ensure that such compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective director. Additional responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include: (i) considering the implications of the risks associated with EFI’s compensation policies and practices and the steps that may be taken to mitigate any identified risks; (ii) reviewing executive compensation disclosure before EFI publicly discloses such information; and (iii) reviewing, and approving periodically management’s succession plans for executive management, including specific development plans and career planning for potential successors, and recommending them to the Board.

During the financial year ended December 31, 2013, the Compensation Committee was responsible for administering the executive compensation program of EFI. For further information regarding how the Board determines the compensation for EFI’s directors and officers please see “Executive Compensation” in the Management Information Circular.

Other Board Committees

In addition to the GN Committee and Compensation Committee, EFI has an Audit Committee and an Environment, Health and Safety Committee (“EHS Committee”).

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is a committee established and appointed by and among the Board to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the Corporation. In so doing, the Audit Committee provides an avenue of communication among the external auditor, management, and the Board. The Committee’s purpose is to ensure the integrity of financial reporting and the audit process, and that sound risk management and internal control systems are developed and maintained. In pursuing these objectives, the Audit Committee oversees relations with the external auditor, reviews the effectiveness of the internal audit function, and oversees the accounting and financial reporting processes of EFI and audits of financial statements of EFI.

EHS Committee

The mining industry, by its very nature, can have an impact on the natural environment. As a result, environmental planning and compliance must play a very important part in the operations of any company engaged in these activities. EFI takes these issues very seriously and has established the EHS Committee to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for environmental, health and safety matters. The mandate of the EHS Committee is to oversee the development and implementation of policies and best practices relating to environmental, health and safety issues in order to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations and policies in the jurisdictions in which EFI carries on business. Due to the complexity of uranium exploration, mining and milling, the Board determined that it was appropriate that a member of management sit on the EHS Committee to ensure that technical expertise is properly brought before the EHS Committee. The fact that all of the members of the EHS Committee are not independent is balanced by the fact that a majority of the members of the EHS Committee and the Chair of the EHS Committee are independent, and that the key recommendations of the EHS Committee are considered by the full Board.

A-6


Assessments

In January each year the GN Committee distributes, receives and reviews the results of written Board effectiveness assessments. The assessments question members of the Board as to their level of satisfaction with the functioning of the Board, its interaction with management and the performance of the standing committees of the Board. The assessments also include peer reviews of all other directors and a self-assessment as to each director’s effectiveness and contribution as a Board member. After the assessments are reviewed, the GN Committee reports the results to the Board and makes any recommendations to the Board to improve EFI’s corporate governance practices. This process occurs prior to the consideration by the GN Committee of nominations for Board member elections at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders each year.

Proxies - Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may appoint a proxyholder, or one or more alternate proxyholders, who need not be shareholders, to attend and act at the meeting in the manner and to the extent authorized and with the authority conferred by the proxy. A proxy shall be in writing executed by the shareholder or such shareholder's attorney and shall conform with the Act. Every such shareholder which is a body corporate or association may by resolution of its directors or governing body authorize an individual who need not be a shareholder to represent it at a meeting of shareholders and such individual may exercise on the shareholder's behalf all the powers it could exercise if it were an individual shareholder.

10.16

Votes to Govern - At any meeting of shareholders every question shall, unless otherwise required by the articles or by-laws or by law, be determined by a majority of the votes cast on the question.

Show of Hands - Subject to the Act, any question at a meeting of shareholders shall be decided by a show of hands unless a ballot thereon is required or demanded as hereinafter provided. On a show of hands every person who is present and entitled to vote shall have one vote. Whenever a vote by show of hands shall have been taken on a question, unless a ballot thereon is so required or demanded, a declaration by the chair of the meeting that the vote on the question has been carried or carried by a particular majority or not carried and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting shall be prima facie evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against any resolution or other proceeding in respect of the question, and the result of the vote so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders on the question.

   
10.18

Ballots - On any question proposed for consideration at a meeting of shareholders, and whether or not a show of hands has been taken thereon, the chair may require a ballot of any person present or any shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote on such question at the meeting may demand a ballot.

If a ballot is taken each person present shall be entitled, in respect of the shares which such person is entitled to vote at the meeting on the question, to that number of votes provided by the Act or the articles, and the result of the ballot so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders on the question.

10.20

Resolution in Writing - A resolution in writing signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of shareholders is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the shareholders unless a written statement with respect to the subject matter of the resolution is submitted by a director or the auditors in accordance with the Act.

   
10.21

Only One Shareholder - Where the Corporation has only one shareholder or only one holder of any class or series of shares, the shareholder present in person or by proxy constitutes a meeting.

advance notice requirements for the nomination of directors of
Energy Fuels Inc. (the “Corporation”)

By-Law No. 2 of the Corporation (or, if the repeal of By-law No. 1A and the making of By-law No. 2 is not confirmed by shareholders, By-law No. 1A) is hereby amended by adding the following Section 10A:

Section Ten A

NOMINATIONS OF DIRECTORS

10A.01

Subject only to the Act and the articles, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation. Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors of the Corporation may be made at any annual meeting of shareholders, or at any special meeting of shareholders if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of directors. Such nominations may be made in the following manner:


  (a)

by or at the direction of the board, including pursuant to a notice of meeting;

     
  (b)

by or at the direction or request of one or more shareholders of the Corporation pursuant to a proposal made in accordance with the provisions of the Act, or a requisition of meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation made in accordance with the provisions of the Act; or

     
  (c)

by any person (a “Nominating Shareholder”): (i) who, at the close of business on the date of the giving of the notice provided below in this Section 10A and on the record date for notice of such meeting, is entered in the securities register of the Corporation as a holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote at such meeting or who beneficially owns shares that are entitled to be voted at such meeting; and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 10A.


10A.02

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a Nominating Shareholder, the Nominating Shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal corporate office of the Corporation.

   
10A.03 To be timely, a Nominating Shareholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation must be made:

C-1



  (a)

in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not less than 35 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of shareholders is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement (the “Notice Date”) of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice by the Nominating Shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the Notice Date; and

     
  (b)

in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made.

     
  (c)

In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a meeting of shareholders or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a Nominating Shareholder’s notice as described above.


10A.04 To be in proper written form, a Nominating Shareholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation must set forth:

  (a)

as to each person whom the Nominating Shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director: (i) the name, age, business address and residential address of the person; (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person; (iii) the class or series and number of shares in the capital of the Corporation which are controlled or which are owned beneficially or of record by the person as of the record date for the meeting of shareholders (if such date shall then have been made publicly available and shall have occurred) and as of the date of such notice; and (iv) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a dissident’s proxy circular in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to the Act and Applicable Securities Laws (as defined below); and

     
  (b)

as to the Nominating Shareholder giving the notice, any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such Nominating Shareholder has a right to vote any shares of the Corporation and any other information relating to such Nominating Shareholder that would be required to be made in a dissident’s proxy circular in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to the Act and Applicable Securities Laws (as defined below).

The Corporation may require any proposed director nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed director nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder of the Corporation’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed director nominee.

10A.05

No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10A; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10A shall be deemed to preclude discussion by a shareholder (as distinct from the nomination of directors) at a meeting of shareholders of the Corporation of any matter in respect of which it would have been entitled to submit a proposal pursuant to the provisions of the Act. The chair of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the foregoing provisions and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance with such foregoing provisions, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10A, notice given to the Secretary of the Corporation may only be given by personal delivery, facsimile transmission or by email (at such email address as is stipulated from time to time by the Secretary of the Corporation for purposes of this notice), and shall be deemed to have been given and made only at the time it is served by personal delivery, email (at the aforesaid address) or sent by facsimile transmission (provided that receipt of confirmation of such transmission has been received) to the Secretary of the Corporation at the address of the principal executive offices of the Corporation; provided that if such delivery or electronic communication is made on a day which is not a business day or later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on a day which is a business day, then such delivery or electronic communication shall be deemed to have been made on the next subsequent day that is a business day.

   
10A.08 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement in this Section 10A.

This By-Law Amendment is enacted by the directors of the Corporation on January 23, 2014 and is effective on such date.
