Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), the leading uranium producer in the United States, hit a critical mineral “trifecta” this month, making commercial shipments of uranium, vanadium and advanced rare earth materials — all in a single week. According to the announcement, the company shipped natural uranium concentrates (“U308”) to the Metropolis Works uranium conversion facility in Metropolis, Illinois; vanadium pentoxide (“V205”) to the Bear Metallurgical Company in Butler, Pennsylvania; and high-purity mixed rare earth element (“REE”) carbonate to the Neo Performance Materials facility in Estonia. “I believe the week of April 4, 2022, will go down as one of the most important weeks in company history,” said Energy Fuels CEO and president Mark Chalmers in the press release. “This week, our vision of Energy Fuels as ‘America’s Critical Mineral and Clean Energy Hub’ tangibly advanced, as our White Mesa Mill in Utah sent three shipments of advanced materials containing a total of 15 critical elements, including the rare earth elements cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, dysprosium, terbium, holmium, yttrium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium, along with uranium and vanadium, to downstream processing facilities. We sent a shipment of high-purity rare earth carbonate containing 32%–34% NdPr to Silmet in Estonia, where it will be refined and processed into various advanced materials for use in permanent magnets used in electric vehicle motors and wind generation, batteries, electronics, defense applications, and other technologies. We sent a shipment of uranium concentrates to ConverDyn in Illinois for sale to U.S. nuclear utilities for the production of carbon-free nuclear energy, and further adding to Energy Fuels’ industry-leading finished U.S.-origin uranium inventory. And we sent another truckload of vanadium to Bear Met in Pennsylvania for conversion into ferrovanadium for use in high-strength steel and other advanced and specialty alloys. I could not be more proud of what our team is doing at the White Mesa Mill on rare earths.”
