EFR Energy Fuels Inc

Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), continues to
advance its Pinon Ridge uranium/vanadium milling project toward construction by
filing a Radioactive Material License Application (the Application) and
Environmental Report (the ER) with the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment, Radiation Management Program (CDPHE) on November 18, 2009. 


George Glasier, President and CEO of Energy Fuels, stated, "I am confident that
the Energy Fuels technical team has prepared a thorough and accurate license
application that meets all regulations administered by CDPHE. In progressing to
this final stage of approvals, Energy Fuels is clearly moving forward on its
plan to construct the first new uranium mill in the US in more than 25 years".


The Application completes a detailed process started in August of 2007 when site
characterization data collection was initiated at the Pinon Ridge Mill site
selected by the Company and located 12 miles west of Naturita in western
Montrose County, Colorado.


The license review process could take as few as ten months, but no more than
fourteen months, under Colorado law. Upon issuance of the mill license, Energy
Fuels will have the right to construct and operate the Pinon Ridge Mill.


CDPHE's review process includes a review of the Application for completeness
within thirty days of submittal. Once the Application is found to be
substantially complete, Energy Fuels must arrange two public meetings in
Montrose County; the first meeting within forty-five days of the finding of
completeness and the second within thirty days of the first meeting. Public
testimony will be taken at both public meetings. 


The Montrose Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will have ninety days after
the first public meeting to provide comments to CDPHE on the Application. CDPHE
is required by Colorado statute to render a decision on the Application within
270 days after receipt of the county's comments, or within 365 days after the
second public meeting, if a timely response is not received from the BOCC.


Many of the supporting documents for the Application were filed with CDPHE as
completed. These documents along with the filed Application and ER can be viewed

Additionally, Energy Fuels is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors
has appointed Stephen P. Antony, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer, as a Director of the Company. Mr. Antony has been in his current
management role since the fall of 2006.
