This letter responds to the comment of the staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) set forth in the May 3, 2016 letter (the “Comment Letter”) regarding the above-referenced Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “S-3”) of Energy Fuels Inc. (the "Company”). For your convenience, the Staff’s comment is included below and we have numbered our responses accordingly.

Concurrently with the filing of this response to the Comment Letter, the Company has filed an Amendment No. 2 to the S-3 (the “Amendment”).

Our response is as follows:

Staff Comment No. 1.

We note that the legality opinion in Exhibit 5.1 now states that the Shares, Preferred Shares, and Warrant Shares will be legally issued as fully paid and non-assessable. Please file a revised legality opinion that opines on whether such shares will be legally issued, fully paid, and non-assessable, as those terms are understood under U.S. law. For guidance, refer to Section II.B.1.c of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.

The Company’s Response No. 1:

In response to Staff Comment No. 1, the Amendment includes a revised Exhibit 5.1 legal opinion which states that the Shares, Preferred Shares and Warrant Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
