LAKEWOOD, CO, Jan. 15, 2016 /CNW/ - Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE MKT:UUUU; TSX:EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), one of the top producers of uranium in the United States, is pleased to announce that Curtis H. Moore, Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Development, will present at NobleCon12 – Noble Financial Capital Markets' Twelfth Annual Investor Conference at Club Med in Sandpiper Bay, Florida on Monday, January 18, 2016 at 11:00 am Eastern Standard Time. 

Stephen P. Antony, President and CEO of Energy Fuels stated:  "Recently, many energy commodities have experienced considerable downward pressure.  But, uranium is an exception because of the unique nature of nuclear markets.  China is aggressively building new nuclear power plants, Japan's nuclear fleet is returning to service, South Korea continues to expand its global leadership in the nuclear sector, the U.S. is starting its first new reactor in over 20 years, and nuclear played a prominent role at the recent COP21 climate talks in Paris.  As a result, uranium – the fuel for nuclear energy – enjoys compelling long-term market fundamentals that point to potentially higher prices in 2016 and beyond." 

Mr. Moore will discuss these fundamentals, and how Energy Fuels expects to benefit from increasing uranium prices through its U.S.-based conventional and in-situ recovery ("ISR") uranium production platform, large-scale mine projects, and industry-leading uranium resource portfolio.

Following the Conference on January 22, 2016, a high-definition video webcast of Energy Fuels' presentation and a copy of the presentation materials will be available on the Company's website (www.energyfuels.com), or as a part of a complete catalog of presentations available at Noble Financial websites: www.noblefcm.com, or www.nobleconference.com.  You will require a Microsoft SilverLight viewer (a free download from the presentation link) to participate.  The webcast and presentation will be archived on the Company's website and on the Noble website for 90 days following the event.
