Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), an industry leader in uranium and rare earth elements (“REE”) production for the energy transition, is announcing the acquisition of RadTran LLC, a private company specializing in the separation of critical radioisotopes. Completed on August 16, 2024, the acquisition aims to further Energy Fuel’s plans to develop and produce medical isotopes used in cancer treatments. It is expected to significantly enhance the company’s planned capabilities to address the global shortage of radium-226 and radium-228, essential isotopes used in emerging targeted alpha therapies (“TAT”) for cancer treatment. RadTran’s expertise includes separation of these isotopes from uranium and thorium process streams.
“With this acquisition, we will be combining our unique processing capabilities at the White Mesa Mill, the only permitted and operating uranium mill in the United States, with over 40 years of chemical and metal separations experience, with RadTran’s intellectual property and medical isotope experience in radionuclide separation and concentration, which we believe will position Energy Fuels to be a leader in this developing industry,” said Mark Chalmers, President and CEO of Energy Fuels.

About Energy Fuels Inc.
Energy Fuels is a leading U.S.-based critical minerals company. The company, as the leading producer of uranium in the United States, mines uranium and produces natural concentrates that are sold to major nuclear utilities for the production of carbon-free nuclear energy. Energy Fuels recently began production of advanced rare earth element (“REE”) materials, including mixed REE carbonate in 2021, and commenced production of commercial quantities of separated REEs in 2024. Energy Fuels also produces vanadium from certain of its projects, as market conditions warrant, and is evaluating the recovery of radionuclides needed for emerging cancer treatments. Its corporate offices are in Lakewood, Colorado, near Denver, and substantially all its assets and employees are in the United States. Energy Fuels holds two of America’s key uranium production centers: the White Mesa Mill in Utah, the Nichols Ranch ISR Project in Wyoming, and the Alta Mesa ISR Project in Texas. The White Mesa Mill is the only conventional uranium mill operating in the U.S. today, has a licensed capacity of over 8 million pounds of U3O8 per year, and has the ability to produce vanadium when market conditions warrant, as well as RE Carbonate from various uranium-bearing ores. The Nichols Ranch ISR Project is currently on standby and has a licensed capacity of 2 million pounds of U3O8 per year. The Alta Mesa ISR Project is also currently on standby and has a licensed capacity of 1.5 million pounds of U3O8 per year. The company recently acquired the Bahia Project in Brazil, which is believed to have significant quantities of titanium (ilmenite and rutile), zirconium (zircon) and REE (monazite) minerals. In addition to the above production facilities, Energy Fuels also has one of the largest NI 43-101 compliant uranium resource portfolios in the U.S. and several uranium and uranium/vanadium mining projects on standby and in various stages of permitting and development.
