Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) CEO Mark
Chalmers recently voiced his concerns regarding the United States’ dependence
on uranium imports during a corporate presentation (http://ibn.fm/ByKCn). An article
further discussing the concerns reads, “‘Similarly, we are also dependent on
imports of rare earth elements from China,’ he said, referring to China’s 90% control
of global markets for rare earth elements (http://ibn.fm/Jfjn6). . . . This dilemma has spurred
several initiatives by the Trump administration, including the president
issuing determinations that declare rare earth elements essential to national
security, the U.S. Department of Interior declaring uranium and vanadium
(another metal produced by Energy Fuels) critical to America’s security and
economic prosperity, and the pursuit of $1.5 billion in funds to purchase
uranium directly from domestic producers to create a strategic U.S. uranium
reserve. In addition, the President’s Nuclear Fuel Working Group released its
report on April 23, 2020, which represents the strongest commitment since the
1970s by the U.S. government to support domestic uranium miners.”
