Certain of the information contained in this presentation constitutes "forward-looking information" (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario) and "forward-looking statements" (as
defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that are based on expectations, estimates and projections of management of Energy Fuels Inc. ("Energy Fuels“
or “EFR”) as of today's date. Such forward-looking information and forward-looking statements include but are not limited to: expected synergies resulting from the completion of
the transaction with Denison Mines Corp (the “Transaction”); expected effects on value and opportunities resulting from the Transaction; the proposed business strategy for Energy
Fuels following the Transaction; business plans; outlook; objectives; expectations as to the prices of U3O8 and V2O5; expectations as to reserves, resources, results of exploration
and related expenses; estimated future production and costs; changes in project parameters; and the expected permitting and production time lines.
All statements contained herein which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information and forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing include: risks that the synergies and effects on value described herein may not be achieved; risks inherent in exploration, development and production
activities; volatility in market prices for uranium and vanadium; the impact of the sales volume of uranium and vanadium; the ability to sustain production from mines and the mill;
competition; the impact of change in foreign currency exchange; imprecision in mineral resource and reserve estimates; environmental and safety risks including increased
regulatory burdens; changes to reclamation requirements; unexpected geological or hydrological conditions; a possible deterioration in political support for nuclear energy; changes
in government regulations and policies, including trade laws and policies; demand for nuclear power; replacement of production and failure to obtain necessary permits and
approvals from government authorities; weather and other natural phenomena; ability to maintain and further improve positive labour relations; operating performance of the
facilities; success of planned development projects; and other development and operating risks. Although Energy Fuels believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-
looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on these statements, which only apply as of the date of this presentation. Energy Fuels does not undertake
any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information or forward looking statements after the date of this presentation to conform such information to actual
results or to changes in Energy Fuels’ expectations except as otherwise required by applicable legislation.
Additional information about the material factors or assumptions on which forward looking information is based or the material risk factors that may affect results is contained under

ENERGY FUELS INC. American Uranium. Fueling Nuclear Energy. TSX | EFRNYSE MKT | UUUU
Why Uranium Supplies May Be Lower Than Expected:
HEU Agreement Expired | 24m lbs. /year secondary supply gone
Kazakhstan | Pol i t ica l r isk ; Ris ing product ion costs ; Future product ion increases quest ionable ; 2014 product ion f lat wi th 2013
Uranium One | Kazakh court inval idates subsoi l -use contracts for Akdala , South Inkai and Kharasan (March 2014)
Areva | Imouraren indef in i te ly on hold; Product ion threatened at Cominak & Somair (Niger)
Cameco | Reduced product ion forecasts ; No expansion at Inkai
Russia | Pol i t ica l r isk ; Hal t ing Honeymoon & Wil low Creek; Pr iargunsky , Khiada, & Dalur showing reduced product ion
BHP Bill i ton | Olympic Dam expansion indef in i te ly deferred
Rio Tinto | Ranger shutdown pending new government approvals
Paladin | Kayelekera on standby; Langer Heinr ich expansion deferred
Why Uranium Demand May Be Higher Than Expected:
Worldwide | 72 new nuclear reactors now under construct ion
Middle East | 4+ reactors to be bui l t in UAE with more l ike ly ; Turkey bui ld ing 4+ reactors ; Saudi Arabia bui ld ing 16 reactors
Japan | 17 reactors appl ied to restar t ; 6 expected to be “ fast - t racked” by Japanese NRA; Sendai 1 & 2 being inspected

ONLY 90 MILLION LBS. OF URANIUM CAN BE PRODUCED AT
TODAY’S SPOT PRICE
Source: Credit Suisse, Ux Consulting and New World Consulting
Uranium prices must rise in order to support the new production that will be needed
STRATEGIC POSITIONING IN THE U.S.
U.S. consumes 50+ million lbs. of
U3O8 per year … yet produces
only 4.5 million lbs.
World’s largest consumer of uranium
90%+ dependent on imported uranium
U.S. is a safe & politically stable
jurisdiction … yet has significant
barriers to entry.
