Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), a leading producer of uranium and critical minerals in the United States, today announced that the first shipments of natural monazite ore arrived this past weekend at the company’s White Mesa Mill in Blanding, Utah. According to the update, the material was separated by The Chemours Company at its Offerman Mineral Sand Plant in Georgia and transported by truck to the White Mesa Mill. In the coming weeks, Energy Fuels expects to gradually ramp-up production of an intermediate rare earth element (“REE”) product, called a “mixed REE carbonate,” which will then advance to REE separation, the next stage in the REE value chain. Energy Fuels also expects to recover the uranium in the ore, which will be used as fuel for the generation of clean, carbon-free nuclear energy. “Over the past few months, Energy Fuels, Neo and Chemours have quietly worked to create something very significant: a new, fully-integrated, U.S.- Europe rare earth supply chain. This weekend’s shipments of monazite ore from Chemours to Energy Fuels marks the beginning of operations for what we believe will become a burgeoning supply chain,” said Mark S. Chalmers, president and CEO of Energy Fuels. “There is a lot of excitement building for rare earths, because they make many clean energy and advanced technologies possible, including electric vehicles, wind generation, batteries and advanced electronics. Today’s announcement is a key milestone as our companies create, refine and grow a sustainable rare earth supply chain capable of supplying growing demand for clean technologies in the U.S. and Europe.”
