1.0 SUMMARY

1.1 Executive Summary

This Independent Technical Report (Technical Report) was prepared by Grant A. Malensek, M.Eng., P. Eng., Mark B. Mathisen, C.P.G., Jeremy Scott Collyard, PMP, MMSA QP, Jeffrey L. Woods, MMSA QP and Phillip E. Brown, C.P.G., R.P.G. of SLR International Corporation (SLR), for Energy Fuels Inc. (Energy Fuels), the parent company of Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. (EFR), with respect to the Nichols Ranch Project (Nichols Ranch or the Project), located in eastern Wyoming, USA. EFR owns 100% of the Project, with the exception of the Jane Dough area, over which EFR holds an 81% interest.

EFR's parent company, Energy Fuels, is incorporated in Ontario, Canada. EFR is a US-based uranium and vanadium exploration and mine development company with projects located in the states of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Texas, and New Mexico. Energy Fuels is listed on the NYSE American Stock Exchange (symbol: UUUU) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (symbol: EFR).

This Technical Report satisfies the requirements of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Modernized Property Disclosure Requirements for Mining Registrants as described in Subpart 229.1300 of Regulation S-K, Disclosure by Registrants Engaged in Mining Operations (S-K 1300) and Item 601(b)(96) Technical Report Summary. The purpose of this Technical Report is to disclose the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Project. The term PEA is used throughout this Technical Report and is consistent with an Initial Assessment (IA) under S-K 1300. Grant A. Malensek, M.Eng., P. Eng., Mark B. Mathisen, C.P.G., Jeremy Scott Collyard, PMP, MMSA QP, Jeffrey L. Woods, MMSA QP and Phillip E. Brown, C.P.G., R.P.G. are all Qualified Persons (QPs) within the meaning of both S-K 1300 and NI 43-101 (SLR QPs).

This Technical Report has been amended to add the parameters related to cut-off grade calculations and to correct typographical errors. The effective date of the Mineral Resource, December 31, 2021, remains unchanged. The SLR QPs have not reviewed any additional information on the Project

Resource estimates completed over Nichols Ranch in 2015 (Beahm and Goranson, 2015) and North Rolling Pin in 2010 (Graves, 2010) have been superseded by the Mineral Resource estimates of this Technical Report which includes additional new information and analysis.

The Project includes the Nichols Ranch Uranium Complex (the Complex) near the city of Caspar, Wyoming, and the White Mesa Mill (the Mill) near the city of Blanding, Utah. The Complex is currently on care and maintenance and the Mill is on a reduced operating schedule while processing materials as they become available. When in full operation, the Project is expected to produce uranium concentrate known internationally as yellowcake. A site visit was carried out to the Complex on October 28, 2021, and the Mill on November 11, 2021.

The Mill was developed in the late 1970s by Energy Fuels Nuclear, Inc. (EFNI) as a processing option for the many small mines that are located in the Colorado Plateau region. After approximately two and a half years, the Mill ceased ore processing operations altogether due to low uranium prices. Since 1984, majority ownership interest has alternated between EFNI, Union Carbide Corporation, and Denison Mines Corporation (Denison, previously International Uranium Corporation). EFR acquired the Complex in 2015. EFR has controlled 100% of the Mill's assets and liabilities since August 2012.

The Complex includes the Nichols Ranch Mining Unit, which is comprised of the Nichols Ranch wellfield (Nichols Ranch Wellfield), Nichols Ranch plant (Nichols Ranch Plant), Jane Dough area, and Hank area, and several satellite properties. The production scenario reviewed for this Technical Report assumes that the Nichols Ranch Mining Unit will be developed as an in situ recovery (ISR) mining operation with an onsite processing plant and based on the current resource, an expected 11 year mine life. The Project will produce an average of 366 thousand pounds (klb) of U₃O₈per year on-site, which will then be trucked to the Mill for final drying and upgrading before delivery to end-users.

1.1.1 Conclusions

The SLR QPs offer the following conclusions by area.

1.1.1.1 Geology and Mineral Resources

The effective date of the Mineral Resource estimate is December 31, 2021. Estimated uranium grades are based on radiometric probe grades using Grade-Thickness (GT) contour methodology.
Mineral Resources for the Complex are reported at a GT cut-off grade of 0.20 %-ft and have been depleted as of December 31, 2021.
The total production from Nichols Ranch is 1,276,589 lb eU₃O₈ as of December 31, 2021.
Total Measured + Indicated Resources for the Complex are 3.29 million tons (Mst) at an average grade of 0.106% eU₃O₈ containing 6.99 million pounds (Mlb) eU₃O₈. Additional Inferred Resources total 650,000 tons at an average grade of 0.097% eU₃O₈ containing 1.25 Mlb eU₃O₈.
There is a low risk of depletion of chemical uranium compared to radiometrically determined uranium at the Complex. Furthermore, there is no evidence that radiometric disequilibrium would be expected to negatively affect the uranium resource estimates of the deposits. Prompt Fission Neutron (PFN) geophysical logging provides direct analysis of the in situ chemical uranium content and is considered by the SLR QP as reliable for the purposes of assessing radiometric equilibrium
The SLR QP is of the opinion the historical radiometric logging, analysis, and security procedures at the Complex were adequate for use in the estimation of the Mineral Resources. The SLR QP also opines that, based on the information available, the original gamma log data and subsequent conversion to % eU₃O₈ values are reliable.
The sampling, sample preparation, and sample analysis programs are appropriate and to industry standards for the style of mineralization.
Although continuity of mineralization is variable, drilling to date confirms that local continuity exists within individual sandstone units.
No significant discrepancies were identified with the drilling and radiometric logging data and GT interpretations in Nichols Ranch Mining Unit.

Nichols Ranch had near-continuous production for over five years beginning in 2014. There has been adequate drilling to develop the Mineral Resource models that have been used in the GT contour models and for successful mine planning. The Mineral Resource models at Nichols Ranch performed well during production, and the SLR QP is of the opinion that the database verification procedures for the remaining properties included in the Mineral Resource estimate (Nichols Ranch, Jane Dough, Hank, and North Rolling Pin) comply with industry best practices and standards and are deemed suitable for use in mineralized material estimation.

Significant discrepancies were identified with the coordinated location and GT contour interpretations for West North Butte, East North Butte, and Willow Creek.


Energy Fuels Inc. \| Nichols Ranch Project, SLR Project No: 138.02544.00001
Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	1-2

EFR has not completed a thorough verification of drilling data reported on the West North Butte, East North Butte, and Willow Creek deposits. The SLR QP opines that although the resource estimate completed in 2008 adhered to industry best practices and standards at the time, the inability for EFR or the SLR QP to validate the model excludes it from the current resource estimate discussed in Section 14.0 of this Technical Report. The resource estimate should be regarded as historic and not relied upon until EFR completes validation of the historic drilling.

Descriptions of recent drilling programs, logging, and sampling procedures have been well documented by EFR, with no significant discrepancies identified.
The QA/QC procedures undertaken support the integrity of the database used for Mineral Resource estimation.

The resource database is valid and suitable for Mineral Resource estimation under S-K 1300 and NI 43-101 standards.
In the SLR QP's opinion, the assumptions, parameters, and methodology used for the Nichols Ranch Mining Unit and North Rolling Pin Mineral Resource estimate are appropriate for the style of mineralization and mining methods.
The SLR QP is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socioeconomic, marketing, political, or other relevant factors that could materially affect the current resource estimate.

1.1.1.2 Mining Methods

The Complex is currently on care and maintenance status.

1.1.1.3 Mineral Processing

The Nichols Ranch Plant is licensed and designed to have four major solution circuits: 1) the recovery circuit, 2) the elution circuit, 3) the precipitation and filtration circuit, 4) the drying and packaging circuit. The Nichols Ranch Unit processing plant is currently constructed and operated with the first three solution circuit installed.

Due to the absence of the on-site drying and packaging circuit, the Project proposes to truck the U₃O₈ produced on-site 643 road miles to the Mill near Blanding, Utah, for drying and drumming for final delivery to end users.
The Mill has been in operation since 1981 and is equipped with the required equipment using a proven process for the production of uranium oxide (U₃O₈) product, called "yellowcake". In addition, although it is not part of the production schedule in this Technical Report, the Mill also has the capacity to produce vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅).
The Mill is currently on a reduced operating schedule processing materials as they become available. The Mill is currently processing Rare Earth Element (REE) materials in part of the circuit, functioning essentially as a pilot plant, therefore the facility is sufficiently staffed to initiate U₃O₈ production relatively quickly.

Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	1-3

1.1.1.4 Infrastructure

The Complex and the Mill are in historically important, uranium-producing regions of eastern Wyoming and southeastern Utah, respectively. All the regional infrastructure necessary to mine and process commercial quantities of U₃O₈ is in place.
EFR has operated the Mill tailings cells since 1981, under the requirements of the Utah Department of Environmental Quality Radioactive Materials License.

1.1.1.5 Environment

Nichols Ranch, Jane Dough, and the Hank Unit are fully licensed and permitted for ISR mining by major licenses and permits issued by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Land Quality Division (WDEQ/LQD), and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Air Quality Division (WDEQ/AQD). The Hank Unit is also permitted for operation by a Decision Record issued by the Bureau of Land management (BLM).
EFR has strong relationships with state and federal regulatory agencies and has a positive record of environmental performance at Nichols Ranch.
The SLR QP is not aware of environmental, permitting, or social/community factors which would materially affect the Mineral Resource estimates.

1.1.2 Recommendations

The SLR QPs offer the following recommendations by area:

1.1.2.1 Geology and Mineral Resources

The SLR QP offers the following recommendations regarding the data supporting the drillhole database at the Project:

1. Transition from a Microsoft Excel database to acQuire or a similar database.

2. Verify all drilling data collar coordinates as Wyoming NAD27 UTM zone 13 coordinates. EFR should also consider moving to an updated coordinate system, such as WGS 84, for use in online graphic programs.

3. Create 3D geologic models of the Wasatch Formation and individual Sand Units for use in verifying and auditing uranium mineralization.

4. Use a handheld X-ray diffraction (XRF) tool to replace the scintillometer reading in order to obtain more precise mineralogical information.

5. Resume using PFN as a QA/QC tool to confirm disequilibrium within the Satellite Properties not yet exposed to ISR mining.

In addition, the SLR QP provides the following deposit specific recommendations:

1.1.2.1.1 Nichols Ranch Mining Unit

1.1.2.1.1.1 Nichols Ranch

The SLR QP makes the following recommendations regarding advancing the Project with Production Planning and Development for Production Area 2 (PA2):


Energy Fuels Inc. \| Nichols Ranch Project, SLR Project No: 138.02544.00001
Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	1-4

1. Conduct drilling of 55 delineation to better define the mineralized trends in PA2 to meet a minimum 100 ft grid spacing.

2. Based on the results of the 55 delineation holes, drill and install 120 development wells, associated header houses and manifold to main production pipeline for the remaining four wellfields.

Additional plant upgrades are not required to put PA2 into production. The proposed budget for bringing PA2 into production is shown in Table 1-1.

1.2 Economic Analysis

An economic analysis was performed using the assumptions presented in this Technical Report. The SLR QP notes that, unlike Mineral Reserves, Mineral Resources do not have demonstrated economic viability. This PEA is preliminary in nature, and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too geologically speculative to have modifying factors applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that this economic assessment will be realized.

The Nichols Ranch base case cash flow is based on Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resources (the latter being 17% of the total). An alternative case with only Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources is also presented in this Technical Report.

Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	1-6

1.2.1 Base Case (Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resources)

1.2.1.1 Economic Criteria

An after-tax cash flow projection for the base case has been generated from the life of mine (LOM) schedule and capital and operating cost estimates in this Technical Report for the Nichols Ranch Mining Unit (Nichols Ranch, Jane Dough, and Hank areas), and is summarized in the Section 1.2.1.2. A summary of the key criteria is provided below.

1.2.1.1.1 Revenue

Mineral Resource used for LOM planning: 3.3 Mst at 0.114% eU₃O₈ with 7.54 Mlb contained U₃O₈ (6.66 Mlb contained U₃O₈ attributable to EFR)
Project areas mined (with % ownership): Nichols Ranch (100%), Jane Dough (81%), and Hank (100%) for net attributable basis of 88.3%
An estimated 85% of the Mineral Resource will be under pattern with 71% U₃O₈ recovery, equating to an effective resource recovery of 60.4%, or 4.02 Mlb recovered U₃O₈ attributable to EFR
A total of 17% of the LOM tonnage is Inferred Mineral Resource
Average LOM flow rate: 3,016 gallons per minute (gpm)
Average LOM pregnant leach solution (PLS) concentration: 33 milligrams U₃O₈ per liter (mg/L)
Sold U₃O₈: 4.02 Mlb attributable to EFR
Avg annual U₃O₈ sales: 393 klb/y
Metal price: US$65.00/lb U₃O₈
Concentrate shipping cost from the Mill to customer: $760/ton U₃O₈ or $0.38/lb U₃O₈

1.2.1.1.2 Capital and Operating Costs

One year of preproduction for wellfield development before production in Year 1. All other infrastructure necessary to resume operations at the Complex is already constructed.
Mine life of 11 years
LOM sustaining capital costs of $81.4 million in Q1 2021 US dollar basis
LOM site operating cost (including preproduction wellfield and G&A costs but excluding product transport to market cost, royalties, Ad Valorem tax, and Wyoming severance tax) of $76.1 million, or $19.28/lb U₃O₈produced, on Q1 2021 US dollar basis
LOM Restoration/decommissioning costs of $20.7 million in Q1 2021 US dollar basis.

1.2.1.1.3 Royalties and Severance Taxes

Royalties for the Project are applicable to approximately 30% of the Nichols Ranch and Jane Dough Mineral Resources in the production schedule. Royalties are estimated using a rate of 8% of gross revenue generated over these areas.
The Ad Valorem (or Gross Products) tax varies by county and is exclusively a volume based assessment.


Energy Fuels Inc. \| Nichols Ranch Project, SLR Project No: 138.02544.00001
Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	1-7

The current Wyoming state severance tax for the privilege of extracting uranium is 4% of Gross Product value above $60.00/lb U₃O₈. However, after the allowable wellhead deduction the effective severance tax rate can range from 0% to 5% of gross revenue, depending on the price paid. For the Project, it is estimated at approximately 2.45% of gross revenue over LOM.

1.2.1.1.4 Income Taxes

The economic analysis includes the following assumptions for corporate income taxes (CIT):

Unit of Production depreciation method was used with total allowance of $81.4 million taken during LOM
Percentage depletion method was used with total allowance of $31.0 million taken during LOM
Loss Carry Forwards - Income tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely but may not be used for prior tax years
Federal tax rate of 21%
Wyoming has no corporate income tax

1.2.1.2 Cash Flow Analysis

Table 1-2 presents a summary of the Nichols Ranch base case economics at an U₃O₈ price of $65.00/lb and production schedule with 17% Inferred Mineral Resources and 83% combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources. The SLR QP notes that, unlike Mineral Reserves, Mineral Resources do not have demonstrated economic viability. The economic analysis for the base case contained in this Technical Report is based, in part, on Inferred Resources, and is preliminary in nature. Inferred Resources are considered too geologically speculative to have modifying factors applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that this economic assessment will be realized. The SLR QP notes that with the future exploration drilling planned at the Complex, it would be reasonable to expect a significant amount of Inferred Mineral Resources to become converted into the Indicated category through a subsequent resource model.

On an after-tax basis for the base case, the undiscounted cash flow totals $41.1 million over the mine life. The after-tax Net Present Value (NPV) at 5% discount rate is $31.5 million. The SLR QP notes that after-tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is not applicable as the Nichols Ranch Plant at the Complex is already constructed and already operated for a number of years. Capital identified in the economics is for sustaining operations and plant rebuilds as necessary.

The average annual U₃O₈ sales for the base case during the 11 years of operation (and one year of preproduction expense) is 393 klb U₃O₈ per year at an average All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) of $50.43/lb U₃O₈ (or $45.30/lb U₃O₈ excluding Restoration/ Decommissioning costs).

1.2.1.3 Sensitivity Analysis

The Project is most sensitive to uranium price and recovery, and only less sensitive to operating cost and capital cost at an American Association of Cost Engineers (AACE) International Class 4 level of accuracy (15% to -30% to +20% to +50%). The sensitivities to pounds of U₃O₈ and metal price are nearly identical. The SLR QP notes that head grade variations in ISR mining are difficult to measure at this PEA stage and thus were not included in this sensitivity analysis.

1.2.2 Alternate Case (Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources Only)

The SLR QP also undertook an analysis of an alternative case, considering only combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources (83% of the base case production schedule). The SLR QP notes that while the alternate case does not contain Inferred Mineral Resources, Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that economic forecasts on which this PEA is based will be realized.

Using the same cost parameters and ISR mining and processing assumptions as the base case, the alternate case production schedule generates 3.3 Mlb U₃O₈ over a nine year mine life.

Table 1-3 presents a summary of the Nichols Ranch alternate case economics at an U₃O₈ price of $65.00/lb. On an after-tax basis, the undiscounted cash flow totals $27.4 million over the mine life. The after-tax NPV at 5% discount rate is $23.7 million.

1.3.4 Geology and Mineralization

1.3.4.1 Geologic Setting

The Complex is located in the Powder River Basin, which is a large structural and topographic depression sub-parallel to the trend of the Rocky Mountains. The Basin is bounded on the south by the Hartville Uplift and the Laramie Range, on the east by the Black Hills, and on the west by the Big Horn Mountains and the Casper Arch. The Miles City Arch in southeastern Montana forms the northern boundary of the Basin.

Uranium mineralization at the Complex deposits is hosted by the Eocene Wasatch Formation. The Wasatch Formation was deposited in a multi-channel fluvial and flood plain environment. The climate at the time of deposition was wet tropical to subtropical with medium stream and river sediment load depositing most medium grained materials. The source of the sediments, as evidenced by abundant feldspar grains in the sandstones, was the nearby Laramie and Granite Mountains.

Within the Complex, there is a repetitive transgressive/regressive sequence of sandstones separated by fine-grained horizons composed of siltstone, mudstone, carbonaceous shale, and poorly developed thin coal seams. The fine-grained materials were deposited in flood plain, shallow lake (lacustrine), and swamp environments. Ultimately, deposition of the Wasatch Formation was a function of stream bed load entering the basin and subsidence from within the basin. However, in the central part of the Powder River Basin, long periods of balanced stability occurred. During these periods the stream gradients were relatively low and allowed for development of broad (0.5 mi to 6.0 mi wide) meander belt systems, associated over-bank deposits, and finer grained materials in flood plains, swamps, and shallow bodies of water.

Meander belts in the Wasatch Formation are generally 5 ft to 30 ft thick. The A Sand at Nichols Ranch area is made up of three to four stacked meander belts and the F Sand at Hank area has two to three stacked meander belts. Individual meander belt layers will rarely terminate at the same location twice. Meanders have been noted to frequently terminate in the interior of a belt system but are more likely to terminate somewhere closer to the edge of the meander stream valley. The net effect for fluvial sands is to generally thin away from the main axis of the meander belt system. The A Sand meander belt system at Nichols Ranch area is approximately four miles wide. At Hank, the F Sand meander belt system is smaller than Nichols Ranch at approximately one and a half miles wide.

The mineralized sand horizons occur within the lower part of the Wasatch Formation, at an approximate depth from surface ranging from 482 ft to 1,012 ft at West North Butte, 540 ft to 660 ft at East North Butte, and 172 ft to 567 ft at Willow Creek. The host sands are primarily arkosic in composition, friable, and contain trace carbonaceous material and organic debris. There are local sandy mudstone/siltstone intervals with the sandstones, and the sands may thicken or pinch-out in some locations. Mineral resources are located in the Eocene age Wasatch Formation in what is identified as the A, B, C and F host sand units of the WNB area, the A and B host sands of the ENB area and in the A and F host sand units of the WC area.

Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	1-12

1.3.4.2 Mineralization

The uranium mineralization is composed of amorphous uranium oxide, sooty pitchblende, and coffinite, and is deposited in void spaces between detrital sand grains and within minor authigenic clays. The host sandstone is composed of quartz, feldspar, accessory biotite and muscovite mica, and locally occurring carbon fragments. Grain size ranges from very fine to very coarse sand but is medium-grained overall. The sandstones are weakly to moderately cemented and friable. Pyrite and calcite are associated with the sands in the reduced facies. Hematite or limonite stain from pyrite are common oxidation products in the oxidized facies. Montmorillonite and kaolinite clays from oxidized feldspars are also present in the oxidized facies (Uranerz, 2010a). The uranium being extracted is hosted in a sandstone, roll front deposit at a depth ranging from 400 ft to 800 ft.

1.3.4.3 Deposit

Wyoming uranium deposits are typically sandstone roll front uranium deposits as defined in the "World Distribution of Uranium Deposits (UDEPO) with Uranium Deposit Classification", (IAEA, 2009). The key components in the formation of roll front type mineralization include:

A permeable host formation:

Sandstone units of the Wasatch Formation.

A source of soluble uranium:

Volcanic ash flows coincidental with Wasatch deposition containing elevated concentration of uranium is the probable source of uranium deposits for the Pumpkin Buttes Uranium District.

Oxidizing groundwaters to leach and transport the uranium:

Groundwaters regionally tend to be oxidizing and slightly alkaline.

Adequate reductant within the host formation:

Conditions resulting from periodic hydrogen sulfide (H₂S gas) migrating along faults and subsequent iron sulfide (pyrite) precipitation created local reducing conditions.

Time sufficient to concentrate the uranium at the oxidation/reduction interface.

Uranium precipitates from solution at the oxidation/reduction boundary (REDOX) as uraninite (UO₂, Uranium oxide), which is dominant, or coffinite (USiO₄, uranium silicate).
The geohydrologic regime of the region has been stable over millions of years with groundwater movement controlled primarily by high-permeability channels within the predominantly sandstone formations of the Tertiary.

1.3.5 Exploration Status

On October 15, 1951, J. D. Love discovered uranium mineralization in the Pumpkin Buttes Mining District in the Wasatch Formation on the south side of North Pumpkin Butte in the west central portion of the Powder River Basin. The mineralization was one of eight areas recommended in April 1950 for investigation in the search for uranium bearing lignites and volcanic tuffs. In response to this recommendation, an airborne radiometric reconnaissance of most of these areas was undertaken by the USGS in October 1950. The uranium mineralization discovered by J. D. Love was in the vicinity of an aerial radiometric anomaly identified from this survey (Love, 1952).

Early mining focused on shallow oxidized areas using small open pit mines. Primary exploration methods included geologic mapping and ground radiometric surveys. Modern exploration and mining in the district have focused on deeper reduced mineralization.

Rotary drilling on the Complex is the principal method of exploration and delineation of uranium mineralization. Drilling can generally be conducted year-round on the Project.

As of the effective date of this Technical Report, EFR and its predecessor companies have completed a total of 3,942 drillholes across the Complex over the course of several drilling programs that began in 1960. Of the 3,942 drillholes recorded, EFR drilling database contains 3,504 drillholes totaling 2,363,890 ft drilled of which 449 totaling 281,126 ft have been completed by EFR since acquiring the Project in 2015. The drill record includes both Rotary and Diamond Drill (DD) drilling, monitor wells, and injection and production wells. No drilling has occurred across the properties since December 5, 2016.

1.3.6 Mineral Resources

Mineral Resources have been classified in accordance with the definitions for Mineral Resources in S-K 1300, which are consistent with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves dated May 10, 2014 (CIM, 2014) definitions which are incorporated by reference in NI43-101.

The SLR QP has reviewed and accepted the Mineral Resource estimate prepared by EFR for the Complex. Resource estimates were completed with the following effective dates using the GT contour method and audited by the SLR QP for accuracy and completeness:

Nichols Ranch Mining Unit:

Nichols Ranch by EFR in 2021
Jane Dough and Hank by Uranerz in 2015

Satellite Properties:

North Rolling Pin by TREC in 2010

The effective date of this Mineral Resource estimate is December 31, 2021. The U₃O₈ Mineral Resource for the Complex is reported at a GT cut-off grade of 0.20 %-ft and have been depleted as of December 31, 2021. The total production from Nichols Ranch is now 1,276,589 pounds eU₃O₈.as of December 31, 2021.

Total Measured + Indicated Resources for the Complex are 3.294 Mst at an average grade of 0.106% eU₃O₈ containing 6.988 Mlb eU₃O₈. Additional Inferred Resources total 0.65 Mst at an average grade of 0.097% eU₃O₈ containing 1.256 Mlb eU₃O₈, of which 1.176 Mlb is attributable to EFR. A summary of the Mineral Resource estimate is presented in Table 1-4..

The SLR QP is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political, or other relevant factors that could materially affect the Mineral Resource estimate.

1.3.7 Mineral Reserves

There are no current Mineral Reserves at the Complex.

1.3.8 Mining Method

The production schedule in this Technical Report is based on ISR mining of the uranium mineralization at the Nichols Ranch Mining Unit section of the Complex (Nichols Ranch, Jane Dough, and Hank areas). ISR is an injected-solution mining process that reverses the natural processes that originally deposited the uranium in the sandstones. On-site ground water is being fortified with gaseous oxygen and introduced to the zones of uranium mineralization through a pattern of injection wells. The solution dissolves the uranium from the sandstone host.

The uranium-bearing solution is brought back to surface through production wells where the uranium is concentrated at a central processing plant and dried into yellowcake for market.

ISR mining and milling utilizes the five steps described below. The first three steps describe the mining process while steps 4 and 5 describe the milling (i.e., processing and refinement).

1. A solution called lixiviant (typically containing water mixed with oxygen and/or hydrogen peroxide, as well as sodium bicarbonate or carbon dioxide) is injected through a series of wells into the mineralized zones to dissolve and to complex the uranium.

2. The lixiviant with uranium in solution is then collected in a series of recovery wells, through which it is pumped to a processing plant, where the uranium is extracted from the solution through an ion-exchange process.

3. Once the uranium has been extracted, the lixiviant is fortified and reused in the wellfield. Typically, 99% of the solution is reused. The remaining percentage is waste which is disposed of in deep injection wells within EPA exempted aquifers.

4. The uranium extract is then further purified, concentrated, and dried to produce a material, which is called "yellowcake" because of its yellowish color.

5. Finally, the yellowcake is packed in 55-gallon drums to be transported to a uranium conversion facility, where it is processed through the stages of the nuclear fuel cycle to produce fuel for use in nuclear power reactors.

Due to the absence of the on-site drying and packaging circuit, the U₃O₈ slurry produced on-site will be trucked 643 road miles to the Mill near Blanding, Utah, for drying and drumming for final delivery to end users.

A production schedule has been developed for this Technical Report with a mine life of 11 years producing an average of 366 klb of U₃O₈ per year.

1.3.9 Mineral Processing

1.3.9.1 Nichols Ranch Plant

The Nichols Ranch Plant is licensed and designed to have four major solution circuits: 1) the recovery circuit, 2) the elution circuit, 3) the precipitation and filtration circuit, 4) the drying and packaging circuit. The first three solution circuits are constructed and operated from 2014 to 2019. Due to the absence of the on-site drying and packaging circuit, the Project proposes to truck the U₃O₈produced on-site 643 road miles to the Mill near Blanding, Utah, for drying and drumming for final delivery to end users.


Energy Fuels Inc. \| Nichols Ranch Project, SLR Project No: 138.02544.00001
Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	1-16

The Nichols Ranch Plant's recovery circuit includes the flow of lixiviant from the wellfield to the sand filters, or directly to the ion exchange (IX) columns, and back to the wellfield. The uranium that is liberated underground is extracted in the ion exchange system of the process plant. The bleed from the circuit is permanently removed from the lixiviant flow to create a "cone of depression" in the wellfield's static water level and ensure that the lixiviant is contained by the inward movement of groundwater within the designated recovery area. The bleed is disposed of by means of injection into two deep, approved, Class I - Non Hazardous disposal wells. The volume of the concentrated bleed is approximately 0.5% to 1.5% of the circulating lixiviant flow for the Nichols Ranch area and projected to be 2.5% to 3.5% for the Hank area.

The elution circuit consists of transferring the uranium loaded resin bed contained in an IX column into an elution column and to circulate a briny-carbonated solution through the resin bed to remove the uranium from the ion exchange resin until it is completely stripped. The barren or eluted ion exchange resin is then transferred back from the elution column to the IX column.

The uranium concentration in the eluate will be built up at a controlled concentration range of between 20 g/L to 40 g/L. This uranium rich eluate is ready for the de-carbonation process that occurs in the uranium precipitation circuit.

The precipitation and filtration circuit starts when the eluate is treated with acid to destroy the carbonate portion of the dissolved uranium complex. In addition to adding the acid slowly, a common defoamer may be used to reduce the foaming activity. The precipitation reagents, hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide, are added to the eluate to start precipitating uranium yellowcake. The yellowcake slurry is then filtered, washed, and loaded into a slurry trailer. When full, the yellowcake slurry trailer is transported by road to the Mill in Blanding, Utah, where it will be unloaded, dried, and drummed for final delivery to end users.

1.3.9.2 White Mesa Mill

Yellowcake produced at the Nichols Ranch Plant will only be dried and packaged at the Mill.

The Mill is currently on a reduced operating schedule processing materials as they become available. The Mill is currently processing Rare Earth Element (REE) materials in part of the circuit, functioning essentially as a pilot plant, therefore the facility is sufficiently staffed to initiate U₃O₈ production relatively quickly.

1.3.10 Project Infrastructure

The Complex previously operated from 2014 to 2019 and is located within uranium-producing regions of central Wyoming. All the infrastructure necessary to mine and process significant commercial quantities of U₃O₈ is in place.

The Infrastructure items include:

The Complex, near Casper, Wyoming , and Mill near Blanding, Utah
A power line is reaching the Complex from a substation located 15 miles away on HI 50.
The Complex water is non potable and comes from 2 of on-site water wells.
Propane gas is used for heating and is delivered by vendors to the Complex.
Property access by maintained dirt roads, paved roads, and highways
Finished U₃O₈ yellowcake can be transported by truck to customer facilities nationwide
Accommodations for employees

Local and State infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, airports, equipment suppliers, fuel suppliers, and communication systems

1.3.11 Market Studies

The majority of uranium is traded via long-term supply contracts, negotiated privately without disclosing prices and terms. Spot prices are generally driven by current inventories and speculative short-term buying. Monthly long-term industry average uranium prices based on the month-end prices are published by Ux Consulting, LLC, and Trade Tech, LLC. An accepted mining industry practice is to use "Consensus Forecast Prices" obtained by collating commodity price forecasts from credible sources, with the long-term forecast price used for estimating Mineral Reserves, and 10% to 20% higher prices used for estimating Mineral Resources.

For Mineral Resource estimation and cash flow projections, EFR selected a U₃O₈ price of $65.00/lb, on a Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) basis to customer facility, based on independent forecasts. The SLR QP considers this price to be reasonable and consistent with industry practice.

1.3.12 Environmental, Permitting and Social Considerations

Nichols Ranch, Jane Dough, and the Hank areas are fully licensed and permitted for ISR mining and processing by major licenses and permits issued by the NRC, the WDEQ/LQD, Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Water Quality Division (WDEQ/WQD), and the WDEQ/AQD. Portions of the Hank area, totaling 280 acres, are on public lands managed by the BLM. This area is permitted for operation by the BLM and a FONSI and Decision Record were issued in July 2015. Nichols Ranch and the Hank areas consist of 3,370 acres and Jane Dough has approximately an additional 3,680 acres which have been approved and amended to the permitted Project boundary.

EFR has strong relationships with state and federal regulatory agencies and has a positive record of environmental performance at Nichols Ranch. The SLR QP is not aware of environmental, permitting, or social/community, factors which would materially affect the mineral resource estimates.

1.3.13 Capital and Operating Cost Estimates

The base case capital cost estimate summarized in Table 1-5 covers the life of the Project and includes sustaining capital and restoration/decommissioning capital in Q1 2021 US dollar basis. These cost estimates are based on 2015 estimates for a 6.3 Mlb production schedule that has been adjusted by the SLR QP to 4.0 Mlb for this Technical Report and escalated to a Q1 2021 US dollar basis using subscription-based Mining Cost Services (MCS) cost indices (Infomine, 2021). The SLR QP is of the opinion that the inflationary indices since Q1 2021 are too volatile to apply against a long lived asset.

Table 1-5: Base Case Capital Cost Estimate

Energy Fuels Inc. - Nichols Ranch Project

Capital Cost Area	Cost (US$ 000)
Wellfield Development	61,327

Grand Total	102,105

The average LOM operating cost of $24.5568/lb U₃O₈ produced for the base case is summarized in Table 1-6 in Q1 US dollar basis. The production cost estimate of $18.91/lb U₃O₈ is based on 2015 estimates for a 6.3 Mlb production schedule that has been adjusted by the SLR QP to 4.0 Mlb for this Technical Report and escalated to a Q1 2021 US dollar basis using the MCS cost indices. The SLR QP is of the opinion that the inflationary indices since Q1 2021 are too volatile to apply against a long lived asset.

Willow Creek (WC) Area is located in Section 35, T44N, R76W, Campbell County, Wyoming, in the Powder River Basin. The location is approximately 43°44' N and 105°57' W. Mining claims cover approximately 220 acres. This area is located 4.5 mi northeast of Nichols Ranch.

4.1.2 White Mesa Mill

The Mill is located on 4,816 acres of private land owned by EFR. This land is located in Township 37 South and 38 South, Range 22 East, Salt Lake Principal Meridian. The Mill is located approximately six miles south of Blanding, Utah, along US Highway 191. EFR also holds 253 acres of mill site claims and a 320 acre Utah state lease. No facilities are planned on the claims or leased land, which will be used as a buffer surrounding the operations (Figure 4-3).

Figure 4-3 shows the relative locations of the Complex and the Mill, and the proposed haul route for the Nichols Ranch U₃O₈ production to the Mill. The Complex and the Mill are located approximately 643 road miles apart. Each operation would be considered as a "stand-alone" operation, i.e., each would have its own administration, warehouse, accounting, environmental, and safety staff.

4.2 Land Tenure

4.2.1 Nichols Ranch Uranium Complex

4.2.1.1 Nichols Ranch Mining Unit

4.2.1.1.1 Nichols Ranch Area

The permit boundary for the Nichols Ranch area, located in Sections 7, 8, 17, and 18, T43N, R76W, encompasses 1,120.00 acres. Within the Nichols Ranch permit boundary, EFR has 38 unpatented lode-mining claims, two fee mineral leases and three Surface Use Agreements (SUAs). The claims and fee leases encompass approximately 920 acres. The mineral fee leases and SUA have a 10 year term. Provisions are set by the SUA for reimbursement to the surface owner for damages resulting from operations.

Claims do not have an expiration date, however, affidavits must be filed annually with the federal U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and respective county recorder's offices in order to maintain the claims' validity. In addition, most of the unpatented lode claims are located on Stock Raising Homestead land where the U.S. government has issued a patent for the surface to an individual and reserved the minerals to the U.S. government subject to the location rights by claimants as set forth in the 1872 Mining Law.

Table 4-1 presents the Nichols Ranch lode mining claims. The Nichols Ranch lode mining claims are held by Uranerz, which is 100% owned by EFR.

4.2.1.1.2 Jane Dough Area

The permit boundary for the Jane Dough area encompasses approximately 3,680 acres. Within the Jane Dough permit boundary, EFR controls 117 unpatented lode-mining claims, three SUAs, and 16 fee mineral leases. The fee mineral leases and claims encompass approximately 3,121.43 acres. The fee mineral leases and SUAs have terms of 10 years, which can be extended indefinitely. The SUAs have set provisions for reimbursement to the surface owner for damages resulting from EFR operations. In the south half of Section 28, T43N, R76W, EFR controls 59.29% of the fee mineral estate under various fee mineral leases mentioned above.

Portions of the Jane Dough area were formerly held separately by EFR and the joint venture (JV) on the Arkose project (Arkose Project). These holdings have been combined. EFR retains 100% of the mineral rights for the portion it originally held and 81% of the mineral rights for the Arkose Mining Venture portion of Jane Dough. Mineral Resources for Jane Dough reflect this partition of mineral ownership.

Table 4-2 presents the Jane Dough lode mining claims. The Jane Dough lode mining claims are held by Uranerz, which is 100% owned by EFR.

4.3 Required Permits and Status

All of the unpatented lode mining claims have annual filing requirements with the BLM, to be paid on or before September 1 of each year. Mining claims are subject to the Mining Law of 1872. Changes in the mining law could affect the mineral tenure. The unpatented lode mining claims will remain the property of EFR provided they adhere to required filing and annual payment requirements with Johnson and Campbell Counties and the BLM. The SUAs will remain in force so long as the mining claims are maintained.

4.3.1 Exploration

EFR has conducted exploration drilling at Nichols Ranch but has not conducted any exploration drilling at Jane Dough, Hank, or the Satellite Properties since acquiring the properties in 2015. EFR has in place a Drilling Notification (DN), issued for exploration drilling, from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Land Quality Division (WDEQ/LQD).

4.3.2 Production

The Nichols Ranch, Jane Dough, and Hank areas are fully licensed and permitted for ISR mining and processing by major licenses and permits issued by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ). Portions of the Hank area, totaling 280 acres, are on public lands managed by the BLM. This area is permitted for operation by the BLM and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Decision Record was issued in July 2015. The permitted Project boundary includes the Nichols Ranch and Hank areas, consisting of 3,370 acres, and was amended to include the Jane Dough area, approximately an additional 3,680 acres.

4.4 Encumbrances

To the SLR QP's knowledge there are no environmental liabilities which are not included in current bonds held by the jurisdictional regulatory agencies. Financial assurance instruments are held by the State for drilling, ISR mining, and uranium processing. The bonds are required to insure reclamation and restoration of the affected lands and aquifers in accordance with federal and state regulations and permit requirements. The WDEQ regulations require an annual review of the bonding, and bonds may be adjusted annually to reflect changes in conditions at the mine. The current approved closure cost estimate for the Complex is provided in Table 4-8.

In the southern half of Section 28 and northern half of section 32, five fee mineral leases have royalties ranging from 2% to 10% depending on the sale price of uranium. In the west half of Section 29, two mineral leases have a royalty of 6% or 8% depending on the sale price of uranium. Surface owners have a set rate for reimbursement of any land taken out of service for mining activities and two of the Surface Owners could receive an extraction fee on production with a burden of 1% or 2%, depending on the sale price of uranium.

The unpatented lode mining claims will remain the property of EFR provided it adheres to required filing and annual payment requirements with Campbell County and the BLM. The SUAs will remain in force so long as the mining claims are maintained. Legal surveys of unpatented lode mining claims are not required and are not known to have been completed.

All of the unpatented lode mining claims have annual filing requirements with the BLM, to be paid on or before September 1 of each year.

4.5.1.3 Hank Area

All claims were located or acquired by EFR and a portion of the claims were subject to a 6% to 8% royalty which has since been extinguished. Four claims may be subject to a 5% overriding royalty vested in Brown Land Company and its successors. The claims will remain the property of EFR provided they adhere to required filing and annual payment requirements with Campbell County and the BLM. All of the unpatented lode claims have annual filing requirements with the BLM, to be paid on or before September 1 of each year.

The claims were acquired by Uranerz and none of the unpatented lode claims in the WC area are subject to a royalty. There are no fee leases associated with Willow Creek.

4.6 Other Significant Factors and Risks

The SLR QP is not aware of any environmental liabilities on the Project. EFR has all required permits to conduct the proposed work on the Project. The SLR QP is not aware of any other significant factors and risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform the proposed work program on the Project.

From the time of construction to the effective date of this Technical Report the Complex has experienced two minor compliance issues. Both issues pertained to the Permit to Mine issued by WDEQ/LQD and were resolved quickly under normal regulatory procedures.

4.6.1 Mine Closure Plans and Bonds

A reclamation plan is in place for the Complex which includes groundwater restoration, site decontamination and decommissioning, and surface reclamation and decommissioning. A general reclamation schedule and a reclamation cost estimate are provided in the reclamation plan. WDEQ regulations require an annual review of the bonding, and bonds may be adjusted annually to reflect changes in conditions at the mine.

Detailed reclamation plans, including site decommissioning, will be provided to the WDEQ/LQD for approval prior to initiation.

5.0 ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY

5.1 Accessibility

5.1.1 Nichols Ranch Uranium Complex

The site is 80 mi northeast of Casper, Wyoming and accessible via two-wheel drive on existing county and/or private gravel and dirt roads by proceeding north approximately 10 mi from Wyoming Highway 387 on the IDT Road and approximately 12 mi northwest of the junction of Wyoming Highway 387 and Wyoming Highway 50.

5.1.2 Satellite Properties

5.1.2.1 North Rolling Pin

The NRP property is accessible via two-wheel drive on existing private gravel and dirt roads, many of which have been improved by coal bed methane (CBM) development. The approximate center of the NRP property is approximately nine miles north of Wyoming Highway 387. Some road development and improvements may be required at a later time to facilitate future development of wellfields or satellite facilities.

5.1.2.2 West North Butte, East North Butte and Willow Creek

WNB, ENB, and WC are accessible via two-wheel drive on existing county and/or private gravel and dirt roads. The approximate center of the Satellite Properties is roughly 8 mi to 11 mi west of Wyoming Highway 50, and the southern edge of the Satellite Properties is approximately 12 mi to 15 mi north of Wyoming Highway 387. Road development and improvements may be required at a later time to facilitate future development of wellfields and processing facilities. The north-northwest half of the WNB area is located in an area of significant topographical relief and would likely require significant excavation to construct roads to potential wellfields or require the use of directional drilling to develop the resource.

5.2 Vegetation

Vegetation and wildlife surveys of the Complex area were completed as part of the environmental baseline studies required for permitting and licensing. Vegetation communities consist primarily of sagebrush shrub-land and mixed grasslands, with limited juniper, greasewood, and wetland communities. The Complex area has the potential to provide habitat for mule deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, jackrabbit, cottontail rabbit, coyote, bobcat, mountain lion, red fox, badger, raccoon, skunk, chipmunk, rodents, songbirds, waterfowl, eagles, hawks, owls, sage grouse, chukar, wild turkey, Hungarian partridge, mourning dove, magpie, and crow. Most species are yearlong residents, however, some species such as elk, eagles, songbirds, and waterfowl are more abundant during migration periods.

Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	5-1

5.3 Climate

In the vicinity of the Complex, the climate is semi-arid and receives an annual precipitation of approximately 13 in., the majority of which falls from February to April as snow. Cold, wind, and snow/blizzards may occasionally present challenges for winter exploration and construction work in this area however operations can take place year round. The summer months are typically hot, dry, and clear, except for infrequent high-intensity, short-duration storm events.

5.4 Local Resources

The Complex is located in Johnson and Campbell Counties. These counties are generally rural; according to the 2010 United States Census, there were 8,569 people living in Johnson County and 46,133 people living in Campbell County. Most of the workers at the Complex are from the local area and nearby communities such as Casper, Wyoming, approximately 80 mi southwest of the Complex. Casper is the county seat of Natrona County and, as of the 2010 census, has a population of 55,316. Casper has numerous industrial supply and service companies to support mining operations. EFR maintains an office in Casper to support its Wyoming mining operations.

The SLR QP concludes that EFR either has in place or can obtain the necessary permits and/or agreements, and local resources are sufficient for current and future ISR operations within the Complex.

5.5 Infrastructure

EFR has secured sufficient surface access rights for exploration and development of the Complex. The Nichols Ranch Mining Unit is a fully licensed, operable facility with sufficient sources of power, water, and waste disposal facilities for operations and aquifer restoration.

The basic infrastructure (power, water, and transportation) necessary to support an ISR mining operation has been established at the Nichols Ranch Mining Unit and is located within reasonable proximity of all satellite properties within this Technical Report . Existing infrastructure is associated with local oil, gas, and CBM development.

Non-potable water is and/or will be supplied by wells developed at or near the sites. Water extracted as part of ISR operations will be recycled for reinjection. Typical ISR mining operations also require a disposal well for limited quantities of fluids that cannot be returned to the production aquifers. Two deep disposal wells have been permitted and are operational at the Nichols Ranch Plant

The proximity of the Complex to paved roads will facilitate transportation of equipment, supplies, personnel, and product to and from the properties. Although the population within 50 mi of the subject properties consists mainly of rural ranch residences, personnel required for exploration, construction, and operation are available in the nearby towns of Wright, Midwest, Edgerton, Gillette, Buffalo, and Casper, Wyoming.

Power transmission lines are located on or near parts of the Project. EFR has secured power from the local electrical service provider to accommodate all operational needs.

Tailing storage areas, waste disposal areas, heap leach pad(s) are not part of the required infrastructure for the Complex, as ISR operations do not require these types of facilities. Waste disposal is accomplished via deep well injection. EFR has two such wells permitted and in operation at Nichols Ranch.

5.6 Physiography

The Complex is located within the Wyoming Basin physiographic province in the western portion of the Powder River Basin, within the Pumpkin Buttes Mining District. The Pumpkin Buttes are a series of small buttes rising up to nearly 6,000 feet above sea level (ft ASL) in elevation and approximately 1,000 ft above the surrounding plains. The rock capping the top of the buttes is the Oligocene age White River Formation erosional remnant, which is believed to have overlain the majority of the Powder River Basin. The volcanic tuffs in the White River Formation have been cited as the source of uranium in the basin (Davis, 1969). Historic and current land use in the Pumpkin Buttes Mining District includes livestock grazing, mineral development, and oil and gas development.

5.6.1 Nichols Ranch Mining Unit

The Nichols Ranch Mining Unit is situated in a low-lying plain with elevations ranging from roughly 4,600 ft ASL to 4,900 ft ASL. There are two main ephemeral drainages at the site. Both are tributaries of Cottonwood Creek, which drains to the Cheyenne River.

5.6.2 Satellite Properties

5.6.2.1 North Rolling Pin

The North Rolling Pin area consists of sagebrush and native grasses, covering rolling hills, steep walled gullies, and ephemeral streams. Elevations range from approximately 4,800 ft ASL to 5,180 ft ASL.

5.6.2.2 West North Butte, East North Butte and Willow Creek

The West North Butte and East North Butte areas are located on the west and southeast flanks of the North Pumpkin Butte, respectively. The Willow Creek area is located approximately two miles south of the West North Butte deposit.

These areas consist of sagebrush and native grasses, covering rolling hills, steep walled gullies, and flat-topped North Butte. Elevations range from approximately 4,900 ft ASL to 5,800 ft ASL, and generally slope from northeast to southwest.

6.0 HISTORY

The Complex was originally part of a large exploration area encompassing Townships 33 through 50 North of Ranges 69 through 79 West, on the Sixth Principal Meridian. In 1966, Mountain West Mines Inc. (MWM - now Excalibur Industries) began a drilling exploration program in this area. In 1967, MWM entered into an agreement with Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company (CCI) for further exploration and option if suitable resources were found. CCI exercised its option in 1976 with plans to begin underground mining operations near North Butte, approximately six and a half miles northeast of Nichols Ranch. As economic conditions changed, and with the development of ISR mining technology, CCI's interest in the area waned. By the late 1980s, it began selling select properties or allowing them to revert back to MWM.

6.1 Prior Ownership

Uranerz acquired six uranium properties in the Powder River Basin from a third party in 2005, including the Complex.

In June 2015, EFR acquired all of the outstanding shares of Uranerz. Under that transaction, EFR acquired the Project, the Hank Project, the Reno Creek Property, the West North Butte Property, the North Rolling Pin Property, and the Arkose Mining Venture (a joint venture of ISR mining properties held 81% by Uranerz and 19% by United Nuclear Corp.), uranium sales contracts, and other assets, as well as the shares of Uranerz, which holds those assets. In May 2018, EFR sold its non-core Reno Creek Property to Uranium Energy Corp. In August 2018, EFR acquired royalties on the Project, along with royalties on several operating, standby, and advanced-stage ISR projects in Wyoming owned and operated by Power Resources, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cameco Corporation.

6.1.1 Nichols Ranch Mining Unit

The Nichols Ranch Mining Unit includes: (i) the Nichols Ranch Plant; (ii) the Nichols Ranch Wellfield; (iii) the Jane Dough area; and (iv) the Hank area, which includes the permitted but not constructed Hank satellite plant and the Hank deposit. A portion of the Jane Dough area is held through the Arkose Mining Venture, in which the EFR has an 81% interest.

6.1.2 Satellite Properties

6.1.2.1 North Rolling Pin

The North Rolling Pin area is located within a large exploration area encompassing Townships 33 through 50 North of Ranges 69 through 79 West, on the Sixth Principal Meridian. In 1966, MWM (now Excalibur Industries) began a successful drilling exploration program in a portion of the larger area. In 1967, MWM entered into an agreement with CCI for further exploration and option if suitable resources were found. CCI exercised its option in 1976 with plans to begin underground mining operations in the vicinity of North Butte. Changing economic conditions and the development of ISR mining technology reportedly ended much of CCI's interest in the area.

In addition to CCI, other uranium exploration companies during the last forty years have controlled property either within or near the North Rolling Pin Property. These included Kerr McGee, Conoco, Texaco, American Nuclear, Tennessee Valley Authority, Rio Algom Mining Corporation (Rio Algom), and Uranerz. The mining claims and leases originally controlled by most of these companies were let go over the years due to market conditions. These property abandonments continued into 2004.


Energy Fuels Inc. \| Nichols Ranch Project, SLR Project No: 138.02544.00001
Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	6-1

In February 2007, Uranerz purchased the North Rolling Pin claims group from Robert Shook as part of a larger 138 Federal mining claims acquisition. Uranerz subsequently expanded the properties by staking additional claims in the immediate area.

6.1.2.2 West North Butte, East North Butte and Willow Creek

The West North Butte, East North Butte, and Willow Creek areas were originally part of a large exploration area encompassing Townships 33 through 50 North of Ranges 69 through 79 West, on the 6th principal meridian. In 1966, MWM (now Excalibur Industries) began a successful drilling exploration program in a portion of this area. In 1967, MWM entered into an agreement with CCI for further exploration and option if suitable resources were found. CCI exercised its option in 1976 with plans to begin underground mining operations in the vicinity of North Butte. Changing economic conditions and the development of ISR mining technology reportedly ended much of CCI's interest in the area.

In addition to CCI, other uranium exploration companies during the last forty years have controlled property either within or near the Satellite Properties. These included Kerr McGee, Conoco, Texaco, American Nuclear, Tennessee Valley Authority, and Uranerz U.S.A., Inc. Areva NC, via subsidiary Cogema Resources Inc. (Cogema), and Power Resources Inc. (a subsidiary of Cameco Corporation) have retained portions of their original land positions in the area. The mining claims and leases originally controlled by most of these companies were let go over the years due to market conditions. These property abandonments continued into 2004.

WNB, ENB, and WC cover an area of land located on the west, east and south flank of North Butte in Campbell County, Wyoming. Detailed disclosure pertaining to the chain of title of the properties comprising these areas is not known to the Authors or Uranerz representatives and is beyond the scope of this Technical Report. The following is a brief description of what is known about ownership history of these areas.

The locators of the claims acquired rights to the properties comprising the West North Butte area in 1987. In January 2007, Uranerz completed an acquisition of an undivided one-hundred percent interest in the claims comprising the West North Butte area.

The locators of the claims acquired rights to the properties comprising the East North Butte Area in 1987. In January 2007, Uranerz completed an acquisition of an undivided 100% interest in the claims comprising the East North Butte area.

The locators of the claims acquired rights to the properties comprising the Willow Creek area in the 1960s. In December 2005, Uranerz entered into an option agreement to acquire an undivided one-hundred percent interest in the claims comprising the Willow Creek area. The terms of the option agreement were satisfied in 2007 and the transfer of the claims to Uranerz was completed.

6.2 Exploration and Development History

On October 15, 1951, J. D. Love discovered uranium mineralization in the Pumpkin Buttes districts in the Wasatch Formation on the south side of North Pumpkin Butte in the west-central portion of the Powder River Basin. The mineralization was one of eight areas recommended by the U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) in April 1950 for investigation in the search for uranium bearing lignites and volcanic tuffs. In response to this recommendation, an airborne radiometric reconnaissance of most of these areas was undertaken by the USGS in October 1950. The uranium mineralization discovered by J. D. Love was near an aerial radiometric anomaly identified from this survey (Love, 1952).

6.2.1 Nichols Ranch Uranium Complex

Exploration drilling was conducted in the Jane Dough area, Section 21 and 28, T43N, R76W, between the late 1960s and late 1970s by CCI. Little interest was generated by the completion of 46 holes from this drilling. Between 1968 and 1980 CCI drilled 150 holes and installed 3 water wells on the Nichols Ranch and Jane Dough areas. Texas Eastern Nuclear Inc. completed limited drilling and exploration on Nichols Ranch in 1985. In the early 1990s, Rio Algom also completed limited drilling in the area. In December 2005, Uranerz purchased the Nichols Ranch, Jane Dough, and Hank claims groups as part of a six-property agreement to option from Excalibur Industries. Uranerz then expanded the properties by staking additional claims in the immediate and surrounding areas.

Uranerz Energy Corporation began exploration drilling began on the Nichols Ranch area on July 11, 2006, and continued to June 6, 2015. A total of 1,098 holes (253 exploration holes, 105 monitor wells, and 740 production wells) were drilled during that time. A total of 51 exploration holes were drilled on the Hank area in 2008.

Uranerz received the Source Material License SUA-1597 in July of 2011. Nichols Ranch ISR operations began on April 15, 2014, after completion of a pre-operational inspection by the NRC Region IV office. There were two planned Production Areas (PA1 and PA2) in the Nichols Ranch area. Five header houses and their respective wellfields were installed and in operation in June 2015, when EFR acquired Uranerz, in Production Area #1. Header house #6 was commissioned in November 2015. In 2016, the EFR completed drilling 12 delineation holes and drilling and casing of 86 extraction wells in Header Houses #7 and #8 in Production Area #1. Header House #7 was turned on in March 2016 and Header House #8 was turned on in June 2016. In Production Area #2, 133 extraction and injection wells were drilled and cased. Header House #9 was completed and turned on in March 2017. No drilling or other development activities have been performed since 2017.

In January 2008, Uranerz entered into a JV on the Arkose Project, resulting in an 81% undivided interest in the mineral rights controlled by the JV. Uranerz commenced exploration on the Arkose Project in 2008. A total of 1,971 exploration holes were drilled on the Arkose Mining Venture from April 2008 to August 2012. A portion of the Arkose Mining Venture holdings were subsequently incorporated into the Jane Dough portion of the Nichols Ranch Mining Unit and remain subject to the 81% ownership, as discussed in Section 4.0 of this Technical Report.

6.2.2 Satellite Properties

6.2.2.1 North Rolling Pin

Mining claims were first staked in the North Rolling Pin area by MWM sometime before 1968. Exploration drilling was conducted in the North Rolling Pin area Sections 11, 14 and 15, T43N, R76W, between 1968 and 1982 by CCI. A total of 476 exploration holes were drilled including 10 core holes. CCI was reported to be investigating the NRP area for open pit mining potential but never carried those plans past the exploration phase. In 2008 and 2009, Uranerz drilled 18 exploration holes in Sections 11 and 14. This drilling was performed to evaluate the potential for mineralization below the zones explored by CCI and for confirmation of the previously identified mineralization in the F Sand.

6.2.2.2 West North Butte, East North Butte and Willow Creek

Between 1968 and 1985, CCI drilled approximately 380 exploratory holes within the West North Butte, East North Butte, and Willow Creek areas. From 1983 to 1985, Texas Eastern Nuclear drilled approximately 12 exploratory holes in these areas. From approximately 1990 to 1992, Rio Algom drilled approximately 5 exploratory holes. In 2006, Uranerz completed an acquisition of these areas, and in 2007 and 2008, drilled approximately 127 exploratory holes.

6.3 Historical Resource Estimates

Mineral resource estimates were reported using the Grade-Tonnage (GT) Contour method for the Nichols Ranch Mining Unit in 2015 (Beahm and Goranson, 2015), and Satellite Properties, North Rolling Pin in 2010 (Graves, 2010), and West North Butte, East North Butte and Willow Creek in 2008 (Graves and Woody, 2008) The primary data used in all the evaluation is equivalent uranium values as quantified by downhole geophysical logging reported as % eU₃O₈. Radiometric equilibrium was evaluated and a disequilibrium factor (DEF) of 1 was used. The minimum uranium grade included in the estimate was 0.02% eU₃O₈. Mineral resources were reported at a cut-off of 0.20 GT, which is the cut-off applied at the Nichols Ranch operation during this time.

The SLR QP and EFR do not consider the historical resource estimates completed over West North Butte, East North Butte, and Willow Creek to be current Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves as defined in S-K 1300 or NI 43-101, nor has EFR or the SLR QP completed sufficient work to confirm these estimates. These estimates (Graves and Woody, 2008) are historical and obsolete and only included here as an indication of mineralization and should not be relied upon (Table 6-1). This resource estimate has been excluded from the current Mineral Resource Estimate.

Resource estimates completed over Nichols Ranch in 2015 (Beahm and Goranson, 2015) and North Rolling Pin in 2010 (Graves, 2010) have been superseded by the Mineral Resource estimates in Section 14.0 of this Technical Report which includes additional new information and analysis.

Resource estimates for the Jane Dough and Hank properties were also completed in 2015 (Beahm and Goranson, 2015). EFR and the SLR QP reviewed these estimates and found them acceptable for reporting Mineral Resources as described in Section 14.0 of this Technical Report.

6.4 Past Production

6.4.1 Nichols Ranch Mining Unit

6.4.1.1 Nichols Ranch Area

The Nichols Ranch area includes a formerly operating ISR plant and wellfields, licensed to operate by the NRC and WDEQ. Construction of the Nichols Ranch Plant began in 2011. Plant construction and initial wellfield installation were competed in 2014 and operations were initiated on April 15, 2014. Production of 302,359 lb of uranium oxide was reported from initiation of production through June 2015, prior to EFR acquisition. The Nichols Ranch area is licensed at an annual capacity of two million pounds uranium oxide.

EFR completed construction of an elution and precipitation circuit at the Nichols Ranch Plant in early February 2016. Yellowcake slurry was then transported from the Nichols Ranch Plant to the Mill for drying and packaging. The Nichols Ranch Plant is currently licensed to allow for the construction and operation of a drying and packaging circuit should conditions warrant.

Operations at Nichols Ranch area ceased in 2019 and it is currently on care and maintenance.

6.4.1.2 Jane Dough and Hank

The Jane Dough and Hank areas are included in the Nichols Ranch permit, however, no production has occurred at either area.

6.4.2 Satellite Properties

In the early 1970s there was limited production on the North Rolling Pin property, however no production has occurred on the remaining Satellite Properties.

Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	6-5

6.4.2.1 North Rolling Pin

In the early 1970s CCI and Wyoming Mineral Corporation (WMC) conducted research and development (R&D) activities at an ISR test site located in the North Rolling Pin area, including production of an unknown amount of granular yellowcake. It should be noted that production of granular yellowcake at the North Rolling Pin pilot plant did not exceed 500 lb as dictated by the limitation set forth in the Source Material License granted to CCI by the NRC.

Records indicate that CCI applied for a Source Materials License on December 26, 1973, and approval was granted on May 23, 1974 (SUA-1199). Research and development permitting was not required by the State of Wyoming at the time of the operation. The North Rolling Pin pilot plant was located in the northwest corner of Section 14, T43N, R76W. The plant was portable, mounted on two 45-foot mobile trailers and had a rated capacity of 25 gpm. The wellfield consisted of twelve wells: eight were used for the injection and recovery and four were utilized as monitor wells. The lixiviant used in the tests was a low strength ammonium carbonate/bicarbonate solution with a hydrogen peroxide oxidant. The stripping of the uranium from the resin was affected with a chloride elution and the precipitation process utilized hydrochloric acid and ammonia (In-Situ Consulting, 1979). On June 19, 1974, two 5-spot tests were conducted at the site by WMC. The tests ended November 1, 1974, and WMC concluded that the test work demonstrated that the confinement generated by injecting water into wells outside the system that provides leaching agent to the host is possible.

Poor weather in late fall of 1974 cut short the restoration efforts by WMC. CCI hoped the reclamation work already conducted by WMC would satisfy the restoration liability, but post assaying data confirmed above background concentrations in most of the wells and did not show adequate restoration. CCI contracted In-Situ Consulting for technical assistance and continued with groundwater restoration efforts. CCI began field preparation for their restoration efforts in June 1978, which involved the installation of a piping system to all wells, setting pumps, locating generators, fuel tanks, an evaporation pond and bladder tanks (In-Situ Consulting, 1979). In July 1980, CCI was authorized to begin the comprehensive site restoration scheme and on November 5, 1982, the Source Material License (SUA-1199) was terminated based on successful completion of final site restoration and an NRC closeout inspection.

6.4.2.2 West North Butte, East North Butte and Willow Creek

No past production has occurred on these areas.

7.0 GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MINERALIZATION

7.1 Regional Geology

The Powder River Basin is an asymmetrical syncline with its axis closely paralleling the western basin margin. During sedimentary deposition, the structural axis (the line of greatest material accumulation) shifted westward resulting in the Basin's asymmetrical shape (Figure 7-1). On the eastern flank of the Powder River Basin, sedimentary rock strata dip gently to the west at approximately 0.5° to 3.0°. On the western flank, the strata dip more steeply, 0.5° to 15° to the east with the dip increasing as distance increases westward from the axis. The general surficial geology of this portion of the Powder River Basin is shown on Figure 7-2.

Figure 7-1: Cross Section of Local Geology

The Powder River Basin hosts a sedimentary rock sequence that has a maximum approximate thickness of 15,000 ft along the synclinal axis. The sediments range in age from Recent (Holocene) to early Paleozoic (Cambrian - 500 million to 600 million years ago) and overlie a basement complex of Precambrian-age (more than a billion years old) igneous and metamorphic rocks. Geologically, the Powder River Basin is a closed depression in what was, for a long geologic time period, a large basin extending from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico. During the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, the configuration of this expansive basin changed as the result of uplift on its margins. By the late Tertiary Paleocene time, marked uplift of inland masses surrounding the Powder River Basin resulted in accelerated subsidence in the southern portion of the basin with thick sequences of arkosic (containing feldspar) sediments being deposited. Arkosic sediments were derived from the granitic cores of the Laramie and Granite Mountains exposed to weathering and erosion by the Laramide uplift. Near the end of Eocene time, northward tilting and deep weathering with minor erosion took place in the basin. Subsidence resumed in the late Oligocene and continued through the Miocene and into the Pliocene. A great thickness of tuffaceous sediments was deposited in the basin during at least a part of this period of subsidence. By the late Pliocene, regional uplift was taking place, leading to a general rise in elevation of several thousand feet. The massive erosional pattern that characterizes much of the Powder River Basin began with the Pliocene uplift and continues to the present.

The White River Formation is the youngest Tertiary unit that still exists in the Powder River Basin. Locally, its only known remnants are found on top of the Pumpkin Buttes. Elsewhere the unit consists of thick sequences of buff-colored tuffaceous sediments interspersed with lenses of fine sand and siltstone. A basal conglomerate forms the resistant cap rock on top of the buttes. This formation is not known to contain significant uranium mineralization in this area.

The Wasatch Formation is the next underlying unit and consists of interbedded mudstones, carbonaceous shales, silty sandstones, and relatively clean sandstones. Near the Pumpkin Buttes, the Wasatch Formation is known to be 1,575 ft thick (Sharp and Gibbons, 1964). The interbedded mudstones, siltstones, and relatively clean sandstones in the Wasatch vary in degree of lithification from uncemented to moderately well-cemented sandstones, and from weakly compacted and cemented mudstones to fissile shales. The Wasatch Formation hosts significant uranium mineralization.

The next underlying unit is the Fort Union Formation. In the Powder River Basin this unit is lithologically similar to the Wasatch Formation. The Fort Union includes interbedded silty claystones, sandy siltstones, relatively clean sandstones, claystones, and coal. The degree of lithification is quite variable, ranging from virtually uncemented sands to moderately well-cemented siltstones and sandstones. The total thickness of the Fort Union in this area is approximately 3,000 ft. The Fort Union hosts significant uranium mineralization at various locations in the basin.

7.2 Local Geology

7.2.1 Depositional Environment

In a fluvial meandering stream process, the flow channel is sinuous in plan view with the highest flow energy concentrated on the outside edge of the channel as it turns through a meander. This results in cutting into the outside channel wall and caving material into the channel especially during flooding. In cross section view, the outside edge of a meander is the steepest and the inside of the meander is sloped more gently. The inside edge of a meander is where deposition takes place. Finer materials are deposited in the shallower (upper) slow flow region of the inside slope and coarser materials are deposited in the lower region. The major fraction of sand in the Wasatch Formation in the Pumpkin Buttes Mining District is medium grained with lesser fractions of coarse and fine grains (Figure 7-3). This is accompanied with mostly medium scale festoon cross bedding and current lamented cross bedding. These features can only be seen in cores.

The meandering stream environment is a process of cut and fill. Each time a cut occurs, the inside slope fills with sand and sediment. A single increment of this process results in a structure called a point bar. In a typical point bar sedimentation process, grain size and sediment structure are fining upwards in the upstream portion of the single point bar accumulation (Visher, 1972). An accumulation of point bars is sometimes referred to as a meander belt. As the meander process progresses, meander loops eventually migrate down gradient in the direction of flow and can laterally spread out in almost any direction. The size of the complete meander belt system is a function of the size of the valley or basin and stream flow rate, load, and gradient. If the subsidence rate and stream load are in the proper proportion, successive layers of meander belts, or meander belt systems, may form as the stream channel wanders back and forth during subsidence.

7.3.1 Nichols Ranch Mining Unit

7.3.1.1 Nichols Ranch and Jane Dough

At Nichols Ranch and Jane Dough, the Eocene Wasatch Formation is exposed at the surface with limited areas of quaternary alluvial and colluvial deposits. Eight fluvial sandstone horizons or units have been identified at Nichols Ranch and Jane Dough. Beginning with the deepest unit, they are the 1, A, B, C, F, G and H Sand units shown on the regional stratigraphic column (Figure 7-4). Separating the sand units are horizons composed of siltstones, mudstones, carbonaceous shales, and poorly developed thin coals. The primary mineralized sandstone unit (A Sand) is in the lower part of the Wasatch Formation, at an approximate average depth from surface of 550 ft. At Nichols Ranch, additional mineralization occurs in the F sand of the Wasatch Formation at a depth of approximately 220 ft. The host sands are primarily arkosic in composition, friable, fine- to coarse-grained, and contain trace amounts of carbonaceous material and organic debris.

For the Mineral Resource estimate and ISR wellfield planning, development, and operations at Nichols Ranch, the A Sand has been divided into 10 sub-units with variable extents both laterally and vertically (Figure 7-5). On an electric log resistivity curve, the grading is apparent where the curve sharply deflects from low to higher resistance and then gradually returns to lower resistance in an upward direction. Other meander belt system sand features such as overbank and crevasse deposits are present as fingers of sand that taper out from a meander termination. These are thin sands without a lot of grain size sorting. Inter-meander channel sands occur between meanders that are migrating in different directions. These sands have more uniform grain size and show on the electric log as a semi-flat curve with only small variations. Tributary and meander cut-off channel sand features form where pre-existing sediments are scoured by a river or stream and subsequently fill with medium and coarse sediments. These channels may cut randomly into meander belts, flood plain or swamp sediments. On the electric resistivity log, channel fills have a massive semi-rounded signature

Hank is approximately six miles east-northeast of Nichols Ranch. Eocene Wasatch Formation is exposed at the surface with limited areas of quaternary alluvial and colluvial deposits. The mineralized sand horizon (F Sand) is in the lower part of the Wasatch Formation at an approximate average depth of 365 ft. The host sands are primarily arkosic in composition, friable, fine- to very coarse-grained, and contain trace amounts of carbonaceous material and organic debris.

7.3.2 Satellite Properties

7.3.2.1 North Rolling Pin

At the North Rolling Pin area, the mineralized sand horizon (F Sand) occurs within the Wasatch Formation at an approximate depth from surface ranging from 51 ft to 403 ft and averaging 282 ft to the top of the mineralization (Figure 7-6 and Figure 7-7). Generally, the depth of mineralization decreases from the northeast to the southwest due mainly to topography along which the surface elevation decreases from approximately 5,180 ft to approximately 4,800 ft. The F Sand ranges in thickness from approximately 30 ft to 60 ft, and generally increases in thickness in the southwest portion of Section 11 and thins toward the northeast and southwest in the area. The F Sand primarily consists of two stacked sand sets, termed the Upper and Lower F Sands that each average 20 ft to 25 ft thick. The nature of these sand sets, as described above, is a major control on the mineralization occurring at North Rolling Pin.

The host sand is primarily arkosic in composition, friable, and contains trace carbonaceous material and organic debris. There are local sandy mudstone/siltstone intervals with the sandstone, and the sand may thicken or pinch-out in some locations. The North Rolling Pin area lies east of the synclinal axis of the Powder River Basin, and the host Wasatch Formation dips approximately one degree to two degrees to the west.

Mineralization was also noted in 27 drillholes that occur in the shallower G Sand of the Wasatch Formation, however, there is limited exploration data in the G Sand. Based on the available data, mineralization in the G Sand is inconsistent and is not included in this Mineral Resource estimate.

7.3.2.2 West North Butte, East North Butte and Willow Creek

The mineralized sand horizons occur within the lower part of the Wasatch Formation, at an approximate depth from surface ranging from 482 ft to 1,012 ft at West North Butte, 540 ft to 660 ft at East North Butte, and 172 ft to 567 ft at Willow Creek. The host sands are primarily arkosic in composition, friable, and contain trace carbonaceous material and organic debris. There are local sandy mudstone/siltstone intervals with the sandstones, and the sands may thicken or pinch-out in some locations. In the WNB and WC area, the dip of the host formation is approximately at one degree to two degrees as the claims are on the east side of the synclinal axis (Berglund, 2006, 2007).

The stratigraphy of the Wasatch consists of alternating layers of sand and shale with lignite marker beds. At the Satellite Properties, there are four primary Wasatch Formation sand members (F, C, B, and A Sands). The F Sand unit is the shallowest, and the A Sand member is the deepest.

Mineral resources are located in the Eocene age Wasatch Formation in what is identified as the A, B, C and F host sand units of the WNB area, the A and B host sands of the ENB area and in the A and F host sand units of the WC area.

7.3.2.2.1 West North Butte

Roll fronts were identified in the F, C, B, Lower B, and A sands in the WNB area (Berglund, 2007). Data from mineralization identified in the F, C, B, Lower B, and A sands were used to develop the resource estimate presented herein. The Lower B sand resource estimate was combined with the B sand for this estimate. The average depth to the mineralization for the F, C, B, lower B, and A sands are approximately 482 ft, 898 ft, 985 ft, 741 ft, and 1,012 ft, respectively. Mineralized thickness ranges from 1 ft to 29 ft, with average grades greater than 0.03% eU₃O₈ and GT>0.2 for the area. Figure 7-8 provides a cross section that illustrates the relative position of the host sand in the WNB area.

7.3.2.2.2 East North Butte

Two roll fronts were identified in the ENB area: the B and A sands (Brown, 2005). Data from mineralization identified in the B and A sands were used to develop the Mineral Resource estimate presented in this Technical Report. The average depth to mineralization for the B and A sands are approximately 540 ft and 660 ft, respectively. Mineralized thickness ranges from one foot to three feet, with an average mineralization thickness greater than 0.03% eU₃O₈ and GT>0.2 of 5.7 ft (per log intercept) for the area. Figure 7-9 provides a cross section that illustrates the relative position of the host sand in the ENB area.

7.3.2.2.3 Willow Creek

Four roll fronts were identified in this WC area (Berglund, 2006): the F sand, the B sand, the Upper A sand, and the Lower A sand. The roll fronts were interpreted using gamma characteristics, the sand boundaries determined from the resistivity logs, and the alteration noted on the lithology logs. Mineralization identified in the F and Lower A sands (referred to as the A sand herein) were used in developing the Mineral Resource estimate presented in this Technical Summary. The average mineralization depths to the F and A sands are approximately 172 ft and 567 ft, respectively. Mineralized thickness ranges from 1 ft to 21.5 ft, with an average mineralization thickness greater than 0.03% eU₃O₈ and GT>0.2 of 9.3 ft (per log intercept) for the area. Figure 7-10 provides a cross section that illustrates the relative position of the host sands in the WC area.

7.4 Mineralization

There are two theories (Uranerz, 2014) as to the origin of uranium in the Powder River Basin and Pumpkin Buttes Mining District. The first theory places the source of uranium from the weathering of the mountain cores which have also been cited as the source for the arkosic host sandstones. The basement rocks of the Granite Mountains, for example, have been determined to have high concentrations of uranium (20 ppm to 30 ppm). It has also been estimated that the granites have lost 70% of their original uranium content. Emplacement of the uranium under this theory would have taken place beginning 40 million to 45 million years ago, shortly after the host sands were deposited in the basins. The second theory places the source of uranium as overlaying Oligocene and Miocene rhyolite volcanic tuffs with uranium leaching into the groundwater system as the volcanic tuffs weathered. The rhyolite volcanic tuffs were the result of volcanic activity to the west. Emplacement of the uranium has been cited as 20 million to 32 million years ago. Since both theories are plausible, some geologists subscribe to a dual theory where each possible source contributed some percentage to the overall uranium occurrence.

Regardless of the source of the uranium, both theories would require a climate with active chemical weathering to breakdown the rock matrix and put the uranium into groundwater solution. One suggested environment for this to occur is the modern-day savanna climate. Savanna climates are characterized by very wet, humid annual periods followed by hot and dry periods. This type of climate produces rapid chemical weathering and high oxidation potentials, which would have been needed to solubilize the uranium and keep it in solution until the groundwater system encountered a reducing, oxygen deficient environment such as the carbon trash rich sands in the Powder River Basin. When the uranium charged groundwater flowed into the reduced sandstone environment, the oxidized uranium precipitated out of solution along the interface between the two chemical environments. The uranium was deposited in 'C' shaped rolls, which are five feet to 30 ft thick, and in plan view may be a few feet to 500 ft wide and tens of miles in length. Along the length of the trace of the chemical roll, ore grade uranium may be found, however, ore is not likely along every mile of the front. During the time that uranium was emplaced, as is true today, the groundwater in the Powder River Basin generally flowed to the north and northwest. As the original uranium-charged groundwater flowed in the host sands, the chemical reductant was consumed and the roll fronts migrated down the hydrologic gradient, leaving in their wake a characteristic yellow to red to brown stain on the sandstone grains. As many as 11 separate roll front systems (Figure 7-11) have been identified in different horizons of the Wasatch Formation in the Powder River Basin area.

8.0 DEPOSIT TYPES

A permeable host formation:

Sandstone units of the Wasatch Formation.

A source of soluble uranium:

Volcanic ash flows coincidental with Wasatch deposition containing elevated concentration of uranium is the probable source of uranium deposits for the Pumpkin Buttes Uranium District.

Oxidizing groundwaters to leach and transport the uranium:

Groundwaters regionally tend to be oxidizing and slightly alkaline.

Adequate reductant within the host formation:

Conditions resulting from periodic hydrogen sulfide (H₂S gas) migrating along faults and subsequent iron sulfide (pyrite) precipitation created local reducing conditions.

Time sufficient to concentrate the uranium at the oxidation/reduction interface.

Uranium precipitates from solution at the oxidation/reduction boundary (REDOX) as uraninite (UO₂, Uranium oxide), which is dominant, or coffinite (USiO₄, uranium silicate).
The geohydrologic regime of the region has been stable over millions of years with groundwater movement controlled primarily by high-permeability channels within the predominantly sandstone formations of the Tertiary.

As depicted on Figure 8-1 and Figure 8-2, roll fronts are formed along an interface between oxidizing groundwater solutions which encounter reducing conditions within the host sandstone unit. This boundary between oxidizing and reducing conditions is often referred to as the REDOX interface or front.

Sandstone uranium deposits are typically of digenetic and/or epigenetic origin formed by low temperature oxygenated groundwater leaching uranium from the source rocks and transporting the uranium in low concentrations down gradient within the host formation where it is deposited along a REDOX interface. Parameters controlling the deposition and consequent thickness and grade of mineralization include the host rock lithology and permeability, available reducing agents, groundwater geochemistry, and time in that the groundwater/geochemical system responsible for leaching; transportation and re-deposition of uranium must be stable long enough to concentrate the uranium to potentially economic grades and thicknesses. Roll front mineralization is common to Wyoming uranium districts including the Powder River Basin, Gas Hills, Shirley Basin, Great Divide Basin, and others, as well as districts in South Texas and portions of the Grants, New Mexico District.

9.0 EXPLORATION

On October 15, 1951, J.D.Love discovered uranium mineralization in the Pumpkin Buttes Mining District in the Wasatch Formation on the south side of North Pumpkin Butte in the west central portion of the Powder River Basin. The mineralization was one of eight areas recommended in April 1950 for investigation in the search for uranium bearing lignites and volcanic tuffs. In response to this recommendation, an airborne radiometric reconnaissance of most of these areas was undertaken by the USGS in October 1950. The uranium mineralization discovered by J. D. Love was in the vicinity of an aerial radiometric anomaly identified from this survey (Love, 1952).

Rotary drilling on the Complex is the principal method of exploration and delineation of uranium mineralization. Drilling can generally be conducted year-round on the Project. Since acquiring the properties in 2015, EFR has conducted no additional exploration other than in-fill/delineation rotary drilling on the properties including wellfield installation at Nichols Ranch.

Hydrogeological and geotechnical information pertaining to the Project is described in Section 16.4 and Section 16.5 of this Technical Report.

10.0 DRILLING

As of the effective date of this Technical Report, EFR and its predecessor companies have completed a total of 3,942 drillholes (Table 10-1) across the Complex over the course of several drilling programs that began in 1960. Of the 3,942 drillholes recorded, EFR's drilling database contains 3,504 drillholes totaling 2,363,890 ft drilled of which 449 totaling 281,126 ft have been completed by EFR since acquiring the Project in 2015 (Figure 10-1 and Figure 10-2). The drill record includes both Rotary and Diamond Drill (DD) drilling, monitor wells, and injection and production wells. No drilling has occurred across the properties since December 5, 2016.

Drillhole collar locations are recorded on the original drill logs and radiometric logs created at the time of drilling, including easting and northing coordinates in local grid or modified NAD 1927 UTM Zone 13 and elevation of collar in feet above sea level. Due to the horizontally stratified nature of mineralization, downhole deviation surveys are not typically conducted as all drillholes are vertical.

10.1 Nichols Ranch Mining Unit

10.1.1 Historic Drilling 1960 to 2015

Drilling records indicated that between 1960 and 1985, CCI drilled approximately 143 exploratory holes within the Nichols Ranch Mining Unit area. Between 2005 and 2015, Uranerz completed approximately 1,185 exploratory holes which includes 11 DD holes. In total, EFR predecessors drilled 1,328 holes across the Nichols Ranch, Jane Dough and Hank areas.

10.1.2 EFR Drilling 2015 to 2016

EFR has conducted its own exploration of the properties with delineation drilling on the Nichols Ranch area. The drillhole data demonstrates that mineralization is present and is of sufficient quality and density to support mineral resource estimation. Drillhole data is dominantly based on interpretation of downhole geophysical logs typically consisting of natural gamma, resistivity, and SP (Spontaneous Potential). Resistivity and SP were utilized for defining lithology and correlating the logs. Geophysical logging was historically completed by commercial geophysical logging companies. Recent and current geophysical logging is being completed by EFR personnel using modern logging units owned by EFR.

Data in the possession of EFR includes nearly 100% of the total original geophysical and lithologic logs both historic and recent.

10.2 Satellite Properties

Available historical data were developed by previous owners of the Satellite Properties during several drilling programs conducted sporadically between 1968 to 2015. EFR is in possession of most of the historical geophysical and lithologic logs and drillhole location maps but has not conducted its own exploration of the Satellite Properties. Drilling data, comprised primarily of downhole geophysical logs (natural gamma, resistivity, and spontaneous potential), indicate that mineralization is present within the Satellite Properties and define its three-dimensional location. In addition, the historic information includes density and chemistry data from six core holes.

10.2.1 North Rolling Pin

Between 1968 to 2008, CCI and Uranerz completed 494 drillholes across the North Rolling Pin area. The geophysical and lithologic log data from 386 of the 494 drillholes were used in the evaluation of the North Rolling Pin area. It was noted that data from 108 CCI drillholes were missing, and it was concluded (Graves, 2010) that most of these drillholes were left out of the sequence and were not drilled.

The exploration drillholes were spaced approximately 25 ft to 50 ft apart in rows orientated perpendicular to the mineralization trend or in clusters of close spaced drilling. Additional fences were then drilled approximately every 400 to 600 feet along the length of the trend.

Of the data from 386 drillholes, 198 of the holes had mineralization with a GT of 0.2 or greater and were used for the mineral resource estimate completed in 2008 (Graves, 2010).

10.2.2 West North Butte, East North Butte and Willow Creek

Between 1968 and 1985, CCI drilled approximately 256 exploratory holes in West North Butte, 45 in East North Butte, and 131 in Willow Creek). From 1983 to 1985, Texas Eastern Nuclear drilled approximately 12 exploratory holes in the Willow Creek area. From approximately 1990 to 1992, Rio Algom drilled approximately five exploratory holes at Willow Creek. In 2006, Uranerz completed an acquisition of the WNB, ENB, and WC areas, and between 2007 to 2009, drilled 127 exploratory holes (29 in WNB, 82 in ENB, and 16 in WC). Of the 576 drillholes completed, 52 holes (45 in ENB, 7- in WC) were missing geophysical logs and were excluded from the mineral resource estimate completed in 2010 (Graves and Woody, 2010).

The holes were typically spaced approximately 25 feet apart perpendicular to the trend and approximately 400 feet apart parallel to the trend.

10.3 Procedures

10.3.1 Collar Coordinates and Surveying

Drillhole collar locations are recorded on the original drill logs created at the time of drilling, including easting and northing coordinates in local grid (Wyoming State Plane, NAD 27 datum) and elevation of collar in feet above sea level National Geodetic Datum of 1929 (NGVD29).

EFR is using an Astech GPS system for surveying drillhole and well locations. This instrument can measure horizontal coordinates within 0.25 m (0.8 ft). EFR uses on-site control points for static post-processing corrections of the GPS data which slightly increases the accuracy. The SLR QP is of the opinion that, for the deposit type, all survey methods used for the collar locations would be expected to provide adequate accuracy for the drillhole locations.

All drilling is vertical. The dip of the formation is relatively flat, two degrees to three degrees to the northeast. EFR drilling contracts include cost penalties for downhole deviation in excess of 1%. If the downhole deviation exceeds 2%, EFR can require the hole be re-drilled at the contractor's expense. Downhole deviation is measured as part of the geophysical logging and is available for all recent drilling. Given the flat formational dip and restrictions placed on downhole deviation, the variance in thickness measured by geophysical logging and true thickness (less than 1%) will not appreciably affect mineral resource estimation.

10.3.2 Drill Logging

EFR has established standard procedures for drillhole, lithologic, and geophysical logging of rotary drill and diamond drillholes.

10.3.2.1 Rotary Drilling (Rotary)

Drill cuttings are caught every five feet from surface to total depth.
These drill cuttings are described by the field geologist using the standard lithologic log developed in-house by EFR.
Adjusting cutting depths to match the geophysical logs noting sample lag.
The downhole log (including natural gamma and SP) is then scanned into the data system for future evaluation and record keeping.

The primary assay data used in calculating Mineral Resource estimates for the Complex are downhole geophysical logs. Additional data include limited core assays and Prompt Fission Neutron (PFN) geophysical logging.

Exploration drilling for uranium is unique in that core does not need to be recovered from a hole to determine the metal content. Due to the radioactive nature of uranium, probes that measure the decay products or "daughters" can be measured with a downhole gamma probe; this process is referred to as gamma logging. While gamma probes do not measure the direct uranium content, the data collected (in counts per second (CPS) can be used along with probe calibration data to determine an equivalent U₃O₈ grade in percent (% eU₃O₈). These grades are very reliable as long as there is not a disequilibrium problem in the area. Disequilibrium will be discussed below. Gamma logging is common in non-uranium drilling and is typically used to discern rock types.

The original downhole gamma logging of surface holes was done on the Bullfrog property by Century Geophysical Corp. (Century) and Professional Logging Services, Inc. (PLS) under contract to Exxon. Atlas also contracted Century for this service. Standard logging suites included radiometric gamma, resistivity, and self-potential measurements, supplemented by neutron-neutron surveys for dry holes. Deviation surveys were conducted for most of the holes. Century used its Compulog system consisting of truck-mounted radiometric logging equipment, including a digital computer. The natural gamma (counts per second, or cps), self potential (millivolts), and resistance (ohms) were recorded at 1/10th foot increments on magnetic tape and then processed by computer to graphically reproducible form. The data were transferred from the tape to computer for use in resource estimation.

Procedures followed by Exxon, Atlas, and Plateau, together with their contractors Century and PLS, were well documented and at the time followed best practices and standards of companies participating in uranium exploration and development. Onsite collection of the downhole gamma data and onsite data conversion limit the possibility of sample contamination or tampering.

11.1.1.1 Calibration

For the gamma probes to report accurate %eU₃O₈ values the gamma probes must be calibrated regularly. The probes are calibrated by running the probes in test pits maintained historically by the AEC and currently by the DOE. There are test pits in Grand Junction, Colorado, Grants, New Mexico, and Casper, Wyoming. The test pits have known %U₃O₈ values, which are measured by the probes. A dead time (DT) and K-factor can be calculated based on running the probes in the test pits. These values are necessary to convert CPS to %eU₃O₈. The dead time accounts for the size of the hole and the decay that occurs in the space between the probe and the wall rock. DT is measured in microseconds (μsec). The K-factor is simply a calibration coefficient used to convert the DT-corrected CPS to %eU₃O₈.

Quarterly or semi-annual calibration is usually sufficient. Calibration should be done more frequently if variations in data are observed or the probe is damaged.

11.1.1.2 Method

Following the completion of a rotary hole, a geophysical logging truck will be positioned over the open hole and a probe will be lowered to the hole's total depth. Typically, these probes take multiple different readings. In uranium deposits, the holes are usually logged for gamma, resistivity, standard potential, and hole deviation. Only gamma is used in the grade calculation. Once the probe is at the bottom of the hole, the probe begins recording as the probe is raised. The quality of the data is impacted by the speed the probe is removed from the hole. Experience shows a speed of 20 feet per minute is adequate to obtain data for resource modeling. Data is recorded in CPS, which is a measurement of uranium decay of uranium daughter products, specifically Bismuth-24. That data is then processed using the calibration factors to calculate a eU₃O₈ grade. Historically, eU₃O₈ grades were calculated using the AEC half amplitude method, which gives a grade over a thickness. Currently, the eU₃O₈ grades tend to be calculated on 0.5-foot intervals by software. Depending on the manufacturer of the probe truck and instrumentation, different methods are used to calculate the eU₃O₈ grade, but all, including the AEC method, are based on the two equations given below.

The first equation converts CPS to CPS corrected for the dead time (DT) determined as part of the calibration process

The second equation converts the Dead Time Corrected CPS (N) to %eU₃O₈ utilizing the K-factor (K)

Depending on the drilling and logging environment, additional multipliers can be added to correct for various environmental factors. Typically, these include a water factor for drill hole mud, a pipe factor if the logging is done in the drill steel, and a disequilibrium factor if the deposit is known to be in disequilibrium. Tables for water and pipe factors are readily available.

For all recent drilling Century's Compulog™ software is utilized to convert natural gamma measurement to equivalent % U₃O₈ grade (% eU₃O₈). The output data is provided both electronically and in hard copy by 0.5 ft intervals. This grade data is then summed for thickness and GT for the appropriate mineralized intervals. This procedure is the current industry standard method. Hard copies of all original drillhole data are maintained either at the Nichols Ranch facility or the Casper, Wyoming office. Both facilities are secure.

11.1.2 Prompt Fission Neutron Logging

Natural gamma is the traditional tool used to measure eU₃O₈ grade and evaluate resources but in some sandstone-hosted deposits, uranium is not in equilibrium with its daughters as they are too young, and uranium is still actively mobile. Typical gamma logging tools measure radioactive decay products which develop in the uranium decay chain rather than the uranium-238 (²³⁸U) of interest. After a long period of geologic time the decay products measured by gamma logging tools will be directly proportional to the uranium in the ore zone provided that geologic processes have not caused the uranium to be separated from the gamma emitters being measured, such as ²¹⁴Bi, ²²⁶Ra, ²²²Rn and others (Campbell et al., 2008). The uranium and decay products naturally separate down gradient, with a higher percent of the latter remaining behind in the tails of the roll front and the uranium (in higher percent than the decay products) moving ahead in the nose of the ore body, albeit slower than the groundwater flow rate (Figure 11-1). The gamma log does not indicate the correct grade (actual chemical content) neither up gradient nor down gradient of the ore zone. The grade calculation made from the gamma log can be either higher or lower than what is actually present in these areas (Figure 11-2).

Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	11-2

Due to biogeochemical processes, uranium may have moved into an area of low gamma, thus increasing the grade, or out of an area of high gamma, thus decreasing the grade. When this occurs over a wide area, the ore body, or a part thereof, is said to be in disequilibrium. In order to determine actual uranium grades, a representative number of core samples will need to be obtained for laboratory analysis and compared to the eU₃O₈ results for each core hole. This will determine the amount of disequilibrium in the ore zone of the deposit.

Figure 11-2: PFN versus Natural Gamma Trace Response

Prompt Fission Neutron (PFN) was invented by Sandia Laboratories & Mobil R&D in Texas during the 1970s to directly measure in situ ore grade uranium.

The PFN logging tool overcomes the problem of disequilibrium by measuring the uranium-235 (²³⁵U) in the formation. In the PFN tool, a pulsed neutron source electronically generates 10⁸ 14-MeV neutrons per second which ultimately cause fission of ²³⁵U in the formation. The thermal and epithermal neutrons returning to the tool from the formation are counted in separate detector channels to provide a measure of ²³⁵U free from variations in neutron output and borehole factors common with natural gamma measurements.

In this way PFN is essentially equivalent to other common uranium assay methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRF) completed in a laboratory or field environment and is thus considered to provide direct assay results. The tool has no electric logs (resistivity and self-potential) and so must be run after these logs have been run. The lowest practical grade measurement is approximately 0.02% eU₃O₈. Like the standard gamma tool, the PFN tool must be calibrated by taking measurements in test pits of known grade and porosity.

11.1.3 Core Sampling

There are two main purposes of collecting DD core:

1. Radiometric equilibrium (Section 0) - the condition in which a radioactive species and its successive radioactive products have attained such relative proportions that they all disintegrate at the same numerical rate and therefore maintain their proportions constant.

2. In situ leach amenability studies - intended to demonstrate that the uranium mineralization is capable of being leached using conventional ISR chemistry.

DD core is pulled from the hole by the drilling contractor and laid out in a core box. Core sampling is the primary responsibility of the EFR field geologist. The general process for core sampling is as follows:

The boxes are to be properly labeled with Hole number and interval contained within the box.
Measure the core down to the 1/10^th of a foot.
Describe and record the lithology in terms of lithology and oxidation/reduction indications.
A scintillometer reading is measured for at least every foot and smaller increments when required.
Cut the core into 2-foot lengths, bag in plastic sleeves, and place in cores boxes to be further processed or stored.
Split the core vertically on a foot-by-foot basis, retaining half of the core sample in the core box after re-sealing with plastic.
Complete appropriate Chain of Custody forms which identify the sample by hole number and depth and contain instructions as to the analysis requested as well as any special handling needed. Sign and date the chain of Custody form.
Deliver the samples to the laboratory and retain a copy of the Chain of Custody which has in turn been signed and dated by the lab.
Require the laboratory to return the sample results with a copy of the Chain of Custody form.
Require the laboratory to provide written quality control and assurance procedures (QA/QC) and specify the method and accuracy of the appropriate standard analytical methods and procedures used.
Check and confirm the analytical results when received to ensure all samples were assayed.
Select duplicate samples from the reserved core splits for confirmatory analysis if there are any anomalies in the analytical data.

Assays of samples from core drilling were collected by company geologists and submitted to various independent commercial laboratories for analysis prior to EFR ownership. Records and files indicate CCI used Hazen Research, Inc. in Golden, Colorado, in the early 1980s and Uranerz used Energy Laboratories, Inc. (ELI), in Casper, Wyoming in 2007 through 2009 for at least some of this analytical work. Results of these analyses were compared to eU₃O₈ values from gamma logs to evaluate logging tool performance, validity of gamma logging, radiometric equilibrium, and leach amenability studies.

Hazen Research holds certifications from various state regulatory agencies and from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). and ELI is NELAP accredited with certifications USEPA: WY00002; FL-DOH NELAC: E87641; Oregon: WY200001; Utah: WY00002; Washington: C1012.

No diamond drilling has been completed on the properties since 2009.

EFR and the SLR QP recommend that a handheld XRF tool should be considered to replace the scintillometer reading to obtain more precise mineralogical information.

11.1.4 Radiometric Equilibrium

Disequilibrium in uranium deposits is the difference between equivalent (eU₃O₈) grades and assayed U₃O₈ grades. Disequilibrium can be either positive, where the assayed grade is greater than the equivalent grades, or negative, where the assayed grade is less than the equivalent grade. A uranium deposit is in equilibrium when the daughter products of uranium decay accurately represent the uranium present. Equilibrium occurs after the uranium is deposited and has not been added to or removed by fluids after approximately one million years. Disequilibrium is determined during drilling when a piece of core is taken and measured by two different methods, a counting method (closed-can) and chemical assay.

By definition, radiometric equilibrium is radioactive isotopes decay until they reach a stable non-radioactive state. The radioactive decay chain isotopes are referred to as daughters. When all the decay products are maintained in close association with the primary uranium isotope uranium 238 (²³⁸U) for the order of a million years or more, the daughter isotopes will be in equilibrium with the parent isotope (McKay et al., 2007). Disequilibrium occurs when one or more decay products are dispersed as a result of differences in solubility between uranium and its daughters.

Disequilibrium is considered positive when there is a higher proportion of uranium present compared to daughters and negative where daughters are accumulated, and uranium is depleted. The disequilibrium factor (DEF) is determined by comparing radiometric equivalent uranium grade eU₃O₈ to chemical uranium grade. Radiometric equilibrium is represented by a DEF of 1, positive radiometric equilibrium by a factor greater than 1, and negative radiometric equilibrium by a factor of less than 1.

Except in cases where uranium mineralization is exposed to strongly oxidized conditions, most of the sandstone roll front deposits reasonably approximate radiometric equilibrium. The nose of a roll front deposit tends to have the most positive DEF and the tails of a roll front would tend to have the lowest DEF (Davis, 1969).

It was concluded in the 2015 Preliminary Economic Assessment (Beahm, 2015) that while the core data collection and assay procedures did follow industry standard procedures, the core data reflected higher GT portions of the deposit and as such were not necessarily representative of the mineralization as a whole. The available PFN data did provide a reasonable representation across the mineralized roll front from oxidized to reduced conditions and in the opinion of the author was more representative than core data for the evaluation of radiometric equilibrium. A comparison of chemical data vs probe data showed that no disequilibrium factor is needed for the Complex.

In previous Nichols Ranch Technical Reports, (Beahm and Anderson (2007), Brown (2009), and Graves (2010) have recommended a DEF factor of 1 based on the nature of the mineral deposit and limited core data. The Hank Technical Report (TREC, 2008) recommended a DEF factor of 1.18 based on limited core data.

In April 2012, Uranerz completed logging of 16 drillholes at Nichols Ranch utilizing PFN. PFN provides direct analysis of the in situ chemical uranium content and is considered by the SLR QP as reliable for the purposes of assessing radiometric equilibrium. Of the 16 PFN holes, 12 had sufficient mineralization for evaluation of radiometric equilibrium. These data are summarized in Table 11-1.

Since acquiring the Project, EFR has not conducted any PFN logging as past production and assaying have confirmed that radiometric equilibrium is nearly equal to one and not material to the resource estimate.

11.2 Sample Security

EFR has conducted no core sampling since acquiring the Project. All reported core sampling was performed by previous operators. The reported sample preparation, handling of the historic coring, and sample security cannot be confirmed.

11.3 In Situ Leach Amenability

Uranium leach amenability studies were conducted on Uranerz uranium core samples between April 22 to April 27, 2007, and January 9 to February 13, 2009. The tests were conducted at ELI's facility in Casper, Wyoming. Leach amenability studies are intended to demonstrate that the uranium mineralization is capable of being leached using conventional ISR chemistry. The tests are designed to present an indication of an ore's reaction rate and the potential uranium recovery.

Analysis of the resulting leach solution indicated leach efficiencies of 65% to 74%. Tails analysis indicated efficiencies of 76% to 79% (Garling, 2013).

The following excepts on the leach amenability procedures were extracted from documents from ELI (ELI, 2007, 2009a, 2009b)


Energy Fuels Inc. \| Nichols Ranch Project, SLR Project No: 138.02544.00001
Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	11-7

The leach solution was prepared using sodium bicarbonate (2 g/L NaHCO₃) as the source of the carbonate complexing agent (formation of uranyldicarbonate (UDC) or uranyltricarbonate ion (UTC)). Hydrogen peroxide is added as the uranium oxidizing agent as the tests are conducted at ambient pressure. A sequential leach "bottle roll" test was conducted on the core interval selected by Uranerz personnel. The tests are not designed to approximate in situ conditions (permeability, porosity, pressure) but are merely an indication of an ore's reaction rate and the potential uranium recovery

The core sample (designation U36-2l-l24C from depth of 467 ft to 473 ft) was dried at approximately 60°C for more than 16 hours in a convection oven and pulverized to less than 10 mesh. The processed core was then analyzed for uranium. Chemical analysis was conducted on a strong mineral acid digest of the dried and pulverized core samples. This digest consists of a 1-gram sub sample digested with 50% nitric acid heated in a water bath at 95°C for more than 16 hours. Following the heating period, the volume is adjusted to a known level, typically 50 mL. Uranium analysis is performed on the solution by Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma (ICP) emission spectroscopy against certified commercial standards.

The Leach Amenability Procedure was then performed. A 200-g sub sample of the dried and pulverized core was placed into a two-litre wide mouth plastic container and a lixiviate comprised of 2.0 g/L HCO₃ (NaHCO₃) and 0.5 g/L H₂O₂ was added at an approximate five pore volume liquid to solid ratio. Uranerz dictated the five pore volume charge of 1,000 mL of the lixiviate was added to the 200-gram sub sample. The reaction vessel was then rotated on a TCLP extractor for approximately 16 hours at 30 revolutions per minute (RPM). Then, the entire liquid portion of the leach was separated by filtration (centrifuged only if necessary). The solid portion was reintroduced to the reaction vessel, and a fresh charge of lixiviate was added. This was repeated six times to produce pore volumes 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, 21-25, and 26-30. All these pore volumes were analyzed on an ongoing basis for Dissolved Uranium.

Since 2009, no additional leach amenability studies have been conducted on the Project. The SLR QP is of the opinion that this is not material to the Mineral Resource estimate or future operations as actual recovery factors have been established from the previous ISR operations at the Complex. No additional work is required.

11.4 Bulk Density

Limited site-specific data was available for review of bulk density. Previous Technical Reports for the Complex have used bulk density factors ranging from 15.5 cubic feet per ton (ft³/ton) to 18.3 ft³/ton. A third-party consultant, BRS, recommended a density of 16 ft³/ton be used for Nichols Ranch, Jane Dough and Hank areas and another third-party consultant, TREC, recommended a density of 15.5 ft³/ton be used for North Rolling Pin and West North Butte areas. BRS has direct conventional mining experience within the same and/or very similar geologic settings in Wyoming and has direct knowledge of appropriate bulk density for this level of estimate.

EFR recommended a density of 15.5 ft³/ton or 16.0 ft³/ton be used for all Mineral Resource estimations, based on available data and its direct mining experience within the host formation. The difference in densities between 15.5 ft³/ton and 16 ft³/ton results in a calculation difference of 3% in the Mineral Resource estimate and is considered by the SLR QP as an acceptable variance.

11.5 Quality Assurance and Quality Control

The primary assay data used to calculate the Mineral Resource estimate for the Complex is downhole radiometric log data. Calibration data for both natural gamma and PFN geophysical logging units are available for both historical and recent drilling.

The SLR QP was not able to review QA/QC of field sampling performed by EFR personnel as the Project is currently under care and maintenance and no drilling activities are currently being conducted. However, examination of previous reports and files shows that EFR and its predecessors utilized training programs, and indicated that field personnel demonstrated basic geological abilities and management oversight operations met or exceeded industry best practices and standards at that time. Exploratory drillhole cutting samples are recovered in a wet or damp condition and soon after they are described by a field geologist. Down hole radiometric logging was checked against the driller's logs. The data are considered accurate and reliable for the purpose of completing a mineral resource estimate of the Project.

When drilling is active, both the natural gamma and PFN logging trucks are calibrated at least every three months. Natural gamma calibration is performed at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) standard calibration facilities located in Casper, Wyoming. Commercial logging services for both natural gamma and PFN logging are calibrated at the DOE standard facilities located in Casper, Wyoming, and/or Grand Junction, Colorado.

Calibration data for historical drill data was included in the geophysical log header information.

11.6 Conclusions

EFR has conducted no core sampling since acquiring the properties. All reported core sampling was performed by a previous operators CCI and Uranerz. The reported sample preparation and handling of the historic coring cannot be confirmed. The test results from the historical coring programs were not available for review, thus were not included in the calculation of resource quantities.

In the SLR QP's opinion, the historical radiometric logging, analysis, and security procedures at the Complex were adequate for use in the estimation of the Mineral Resources. The SLR QP also opines that, based on the information available, the original gamma log data and subsequent conversion to % eU₃O₈ values are reliable.

The SLR QP is of the opinion that the sample security, analytical procedures, and QA/QC procedures used by EFR meet industry best practices and are adequate to estimate Mineral Resources.

Furthermore, there is no evidence that radiometric disequilibrium would be expected to negatively affect the uranium resource estimates of the deposits however the SLR QP recommends that EFR resume using PFN as a QA/QC tool to confirm the disequilibrium factor within the Satellite Properties not yet exposed to ISR mining.

12.0 DATA VERIFICATION

Data verification is the process of confirming that data has been generated with proper procedures, is transcribed accurately from its original source into the project database and is suitable for use as described in this Technical Report.

As part of the resource estimation procedure drill data is spot checked by EFR personnel and audited by the SLR QP for completeness and validity. Specifically, any data which appears higher or lower than the surrounding data is confirmed by reviewing the original geophysical log. This data review includes confirming that the drill depth was adequate to reflect the mineralized horizon, that the geologic interpretation of host sand is correct, and that the thickness and grade of mineralization is correct.

The primary assay data used to calculate the Mineral Resource estimate for the Nichols Ranch Mining Unit and Satellite Properties is downhole geophysical log data. Calibration data for both natural gamma and PFN geophysical logging units are available for both historical and recent drilling.

The historical geophysical logs were interpreted by EFR using standard procedures for the interpretation of natural gamma logging employing the half amplitude method for the interpretation of historic analog data. The SLR QP reviewed and confirmed drill data contained in various electronic databases and constrained mineral resource estimates above a 0.2 GT.

12.1 Nichols Ranch Mining Unit

12.1.1 Nichols Ranch

The SLR QP visited the Complex on October 28 to 29, 2021. During the visit, the SLR QP reviewed historical plans and sections, geological reports, historical and recent drillhole logs, the digital drillhole database, historical drillhole summary radiometric logs and survey records, and property boundary surveys, and toured site facilities, locations of current installed wellfields, and associated header house complexes. Discussions were held with the EFR technical team who demonstrated a strong understanding of the mineralization types and their processing characteristics, and how the analytical results are tied to the results. The SLR QP did not visit EFR offices in Casper, Wyoming.

EFR maintains a complete set of drillhole data, as well as other exploration data, for the entire project in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and hard copy logs at the Nichols Ranch facility. Files at the EFR Nichols Ranch office and warehouses were contained in file cabinets, and map files covering the Nichols Ranch area as well as other areas were available for review. The files were generally complete and contained original data consisting of gamma-ray logs, mini logs, drillhole summaries, resource estimation sheets, copies of drillhole maps, "mine estimation" maps, reports of mine plans, survey documents, logging truck calibration records, and a few representative cross sections.

Certification of database integrity is accomplished by both visual and statistical inspections comparing geology, assay values, and survey locations cross-referenced to historical paper logs. Any discrepancies identified are corrected by the EFR resource geologist referring to hard copy assay information.

Records from the Microsoft Excel database including collar GT intercepts are then extracted for each target and imported into ArcGIS software for geologic modeling and resource estimation. Currently only data from the Nichols Ranch deposit has been imported into the ArcGIS software. All data for the remaining properties remain in Microsoft Excel format or hard copy format.

Technical Report - February 22, 2022, Amended February 8, 2023	12-1

As part of the data verification process the SLR QP conducted a series of independent verification tests on the drillhole database provided by EFR for the properties acquired from Uranerz in 2015. Verification tests were run to check drill collar coordinates and elevation, radiometric log intercept data, U₃O₈ conversion and calibrations factor, total GT calculations, and redox trend boundaries. The SLR QP did not encounter any significant discrepancies with the Nichols Ranch data in the vicinity of modeled mineralized zones but did identify drillholes with missing coordinates and/or elevations, improper total depth drilled compared to radiometric logs, and radiometric log data with no drill collar information.

The SLR QP did not identify any significant problems with the interpretations and U₃O₈ conversion and calculations and is of the opinion that the calibration factors are acceptable. The SLR QP conducted a review of grade continuity for each mineralized sandstone unit. The SLR QP reviewed 0.5 ft natural gamma radiometric (probe) data and related information to validate the reported grade and grade thickness (GT) values shown on the drillhole intercept maps. Results indicate continuity of mineralization within each sandstone unit in both plan and section in elongate tabular or irregular shapes. The SLR QP is of the opinion that, although continuity of mineralization is variable, drilling confirms that local continuity exists within individual sandstone units.

Of the total 1,777 drillholes reported drilled across the Nichols Ranch deposit, the EFR database is missing data from 96 records or roughly 5.7% (Table 12-1). The discrepancies and uncertainty identified by the SLR QP do not affect the Mineral Resource estimate. The SLR QP recommends that the missing data be corrected prior to the next in-fill drilling programs or resource updates.

12.1.2 Jane Dough and Hank (Beahm and Goranson, 2015)

During a site visit on February 19, 2015, Douglas Beaham, an independent qualified person, examined the original hard copy drillhole files for the Jane Dough and Hank deposits at the Uranerz office in Casper, Wyoming. Uranerz provided electronic scans of all geophysical and lithological logs for the drillholes used in the 2015 Technical Report along with electronic data summaries. The 2015 mineral resource estimate presented herein was developed based on geophysical data, grade calculations, lithological logs, and cross sections from 213 CCI and 857 Uranerz drillholes. The data was considered accurate and reliable for the purpose of completing a mineral resource estimate. A total of 1,075 drillholes (786 from the Jane Dough deposit and 289 from the Hank deposit) were spot checked. Specifically, any data which appeared higher or lower than the surrounding data was confirmed by reviewing the original geophysical log. This data review included confirming that the drill depth was adequate to reflect the mineralized horizon, that the geologic interpretation of host sand was correct, and that the thickness and grade of mineralization was correct. It was reported (Beahm and Goranson, 2015) that although some discrepancies were found in the data and were corrected prior to the mineral resource estimate, the data was generally found to be accurate and representative of the mineralization in the areas.

The SLR QP did not identify any significant problems with the interpretations and U₃O₈ conversion and calculations and is of the opinion that the calibration factors are acceptable. The SLR QP conducted a review of grade continuity for each mineralized sandstone unit. The SLR QP reviewed 0.5 ft natural gamma radiometric (probe) data and related information to validate the reported grade and grade times thickness (GT) values shown on the drillhole intercept maps. Results indicate continuity of mineralization within each sandstone unit in both plan and section in elongate tabular or irregular shapes. The SLR QP is of the opinion that although continuity of mineralization is variable, drilling confirms that local continuity exists within individual sandstone units.

Of the total 1,075 drillholes reported drilled across the Jane Dough and Hank deposits, the EFR database is missing data from 15 records from Jane Dough and has additional 10 holes at Hank, or less than 0.5% (Table 12-1). The discrepancies and uncertainty identified by the SLR QP with the EFR database do not affect the Mineral Resource estimate completed in 2015.

12.2 Satellite Properties

12.2.1 North Rolling Pin Data Verification (Graves, 2010)

The 2010 NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report of the North Rolling Pin deposit was authored by Douglas Graves, an independent qualified person. Graves, P.E., visited the site on November 19, 2008. Historic drilling records indicate that a total of approximately 494 rotary drillholes were completed across the NRP property. Geophysical and lithologic log data from 386 of the 494 drillholes were reviewed and audited by Graves. These data were used to identify the sand host, mineralization depth, and grade and thickness of mineralization. The grade calculation data were checked for accuracy of depth, thickness, grade, and host sandstone identification and were compared with the geophysical logs. Each geophysical log header was checked against the data summary sheet to confirm the drillhole number and location, and the material grade summaries presented on the geophysical logs were compared with the data summary sheets, and the data were confirmed. The drillhole locations were plotted and checked for accuracy by comparison with the original drillhole map, corrections were applied to some drillholes, and then confirmed.

Data was assumed to have been collected in a manner consistent with standard industry practices at the time. Logging of each drillhole utilized the same basic methodology that has been used for over 50 years in the uranium industry. The radiometric logs were generally run with analog equipment prior to 1980 and more recent logging utilizes digital equipment. It is assumed that the appropriate logging tool "k" factor was developed for the historic geophysical logging equipment. The radiometric logging information was considered accurate and reliable by the Douglas Graves (Graves, 2010) for the purpose of developing the resource estimate.

Of the 368 geophysical logs from CCI drilling and 18 logs from Uranerz drilling in North Rolling Pin, 198 had mineralization using a minimum 0.2 GT cutoff. The 2010 mineral resource estimate presented herein was developed based on geophysical data, grade calculations, lithological logs, and cross sections from 188 CCI and 10 Uranerz drillholes. The data was considered accurate and reliable for the purpose of completing a mineral resource estimate.

As part of the data verification process, the SLR QP conducted a series of independent verification tests on the drillhole database provided by EFR for the properties acquired from Uranerz in 2015. Verification tests were run to check drill collar coordinates and elevation, radiometric log intercept data, U₃O₈ conversion and calibrations factor, total GT calculations, and REDOX trend boundaries.

The SLR QP did not encounter any significant discrepancies with the North Rolling Pin database, agrees with previous verification work, and considers the data accurate and reliable for the purpose of reporting a mineral resource estimate

12.2.2 West North Butte, East North Butte and Willow Creek (Graves and Woody, 2008)

The 2008 NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report of the West North Butte, East North Butte, and Willow Creek deposits was authored by Douglas Graves and Donald Woody, both independent qualified persons. The Authors visited the site on November 19, 2008, to observe the on-going uranium exploration activities being conducted by Uranerz on the properties.

It is reported that both Graves and Woody conducted a detailed review of 573 (285 WNB, 127 ENB, and 164 WC) exploratory holes drilled within the area. These data were used to identify the sand host, mineralization depth, and grade and thickness of mineralization. Historically, six core samples were collected for density determination and chemical analyses (Hazen, 1980). Density testing indicated an average in-place density of 15.5 ft³/ton. U₃O₈testing indicated grades ranging from .050% to 0.235%, however, these test results could not be correlated to gamma logs.

Historical data were assumed to have been collected in a manner consistent with standard industry practices at the time, and the Authors considered the historical information accurate and reliable for the purposes of completing a mineral resource estimate. It is assumed that appropriate k factor calibration was performed for the geophysical logging equipment. Most historical electric and lithologic logs are available for review, but historical core and original drill cutting samples are no longer available.

The 2008 mineral resource estimate was developed based on all geophysical and lithological data from 573 exploratory holes drilled within the WNB, ENB, and WC areas.

Missing collar coordinate information from 202 of the 573 reported drillholes used in the 2008 resources estimate
Missing digital files of drillhole uranium intercept values and eU₃O₈ conversion calculations
Unassigned coordinates to GT contour maps and sand unit designations

The SLR QP consider the EFR database for the West North Butte, East North Butte, and Willow Creek deposits incomplete and unreliable for the purpose of auditing or validating the 2008 mineral resource estimate. The SLR QP is of the opinion that the although the resource estimate completed in 2008 adhered to industry best practices and standards at the time, the inability to validate the model excludes it from the current resource estimate discussed in Section 14.0 of this Technical Report . Until EFR validates and certifies the drilling database, the resource estimate should be regarded as historical and should not be relied upon.

12.3 Limitations

There were no limitations in place restricting the ability to perform an independent verification of the Project drillhole database.

12.3.1 Conclusions

Nichols Ranch had near-continuous production for over five years beginning in 2014. There has been adequate drilling to develop the Mineral Resource models that have been used in the GT contour models and for successful mine planning. The SLR QP is of the opinion that database verification procedures for the Project comply with industry standards and are adequate for the purposes of Mineral Resource estimation.

EFR has not completed a thorough verification of drilling data reported on the West North Butte, East North Butte, and Willow Creek areas. The SLR QP opines that, although the resource estimate completed in 2008 (Graves and Woody, 2008) adhered to industry best practices and standards at the time, the inability for EFR or the SLR QP to validate the model excludes it from the current resource estimate discussed in Section 14.0 of this Technical Report . The resource estimate should be regarded as historic and should not be relied upon until EFR completes validation of the historic drilling.

13.0 MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING

13.1 Metallurgical Testing

The ISR method used at the Complex is a standard method for uranium recovery in the Western United States. Pilot testing and actual production from other uranium deposits in the Powder River Basin indicated that the uranium located at the Complex would be amenable to ISR production. No site-specific metallurgical testing is available for the Complex, however, initial production began at the Nichols Ranch portion of the Complex in 2014, and uranium was successfully produced until the Complex was put on standby at the end of 2019.

After five years of commercial production (2014 to 2019) via ISR utilizing an alkaline lixiviant, the ISR factor based on actual production was 68%. This factor was derived from the estimated pounds under a production well pattern and how many pounds were produced from that pattern. For example, if 100,000 lb of U₃O₈ were estimated to be under pattern and 70,000 lb of U₃O₈ were produced, ISR factor would be 71%. Figure 13-1 shows the production history of uranium by ISR at Nichols Ranch since 2014.

Based on this historical production (Table 13-1 and Figure 13-1) a recovery factor on similar uranium deposits in the Wasatch Formation should use a recovery factor of 71%. This would include both the Jane Dough and Hank deposits as well as the Satellite Deposits described in this Technical Report.

13.2 Opinion of Adequacy

It is the SLR's QP opinion that the successful historical operation of the ISR supersedes any metallurgical testing program and the available operating data is more than adequate to support the stated recovery.
