Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), a leading U.S.-based uranium mining company that supplies U3O8 to major nuclear utilities, is ideally positioned to make the most of the anticipated growth in the nuclear energy sector. The World Nuclear Association’s Annual Nuclear Fuel Report projects that the demand for uranium fuel will increase over the next two decades. Nuclear power is expected to play an increasingly important role in the future because of its near-zero emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants, its on-demand, reliable and secure nature, and its long-term cost competitiveness. Energy Fuels holds three of America’s key uranium production centers. The company is also producing rare earth elements, opening up a new line of business with the potential to drive significant cash flow in the coming years. “Energy Fuels also owns and operates the Alta Mesa ISR Project in Texas, which is on standby and has a licensed capacity of 1.5 million pounds of U308 per year,” reads a recent article. “In addition, Energy Fuels has one of the nation’s largest NI 43-101 compliant uranium resource portfolios and several uranium and uranium/vanadium mining projects on standby.”
