The Company and Description of Business | THE COMPANY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Energy Fuels Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta and was continued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Energy Fuels Inc. and its subsidiary companies (collectively “the Company” or “Energy Fuels”) are engaged in uranium extraction, recovery and sales of uranium from mineral properties and the recycling of uranium-bearing materials generated by third parties. As a part of these activities, the Company also acquires, explores, evaluates and, if warranted, permits uranium properties. The Company’s final uranium product, uranium oxide concentrate (“U 3 O 8” or “uranium concentrate”), known more commonly as “yellowcake,” is sold to customers for further processing into fuel for nuclear reactors. The Company also produces vanadium pentoxide (“V 2 O 5”), along with uranium at its White Mesa Mill (the “White Mesa Mill” or the “Mill”), from certain of its Colorado Plateau properties as market conditions warrant and at times from solutions in its Mill tailings impoundment system. The Mill is also currently ramping up to commercial production of rare earth element (“REE”) carbonate (“RE Carbonate”) from various uranium- and REE-bearing materials acquired from third parties and is additionally evaluating the potential to recover radioisotopes from its existing process streams for use in targeted alpha therapy (“TAT”) therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. With its uranium, vanadium, REE and potential radioisotope production, the Mill is quickly becoming a critical minerals hub for the United States (“U.S.”). Uranium is the fuel for carbon-free, emission-free baseload nuclear power – one of the cleanest forms of energy in the world. The REEs we are now producing are used for the manufacture of permanent magnets for electric vehicles, wind turbines and other clean energy and modern technologies. The very heart of our business – uranium and REE production and recycling – helps us play a big part in addressing global climate change and reducing air pollution, and the radioisotopes we are evaluating for recovery from our REE and uranium processing streams have the potential to provide the isotopes needed for emerging TAT cancer-fighting therapeutics. The Company is a “development stage issuer,” as defined by S-K 1300, as it is engaged in the preparation of Mineral Reserves for extraction on at least one material property.
