Energy Fuels Inc. (UUUU) Investment Analysis – June 2025

Strategic Position & Catalysts
UUUU is transitioning from a uranium/vanadium producer to a diversified critical minerals company, leveraging its White Mesa Mill (Utah) to process rare earth elements (REEs) and align with U.S. policy shifts under Trump. Key advantages:
-
REE Production Breakthrough: Successfully produces six of seven REEs targeted by China’s export controls (April 2025), positioning it as a strategic U.S. supplier.
-
Partnerships: Collaboration with Neo Performance Materials establishes a U.S.-European REE supply chain, with first shipments to Estonia in 2025.
-
Policy Tailwinds: Trump’s focus on domestic critical minerals and fast-tracked permits under the "Big Beautiful Bill" benefits UUUU’s expansion.

Federal Contracts: Likely beneficiary of Defense Production Act funding for critical minerals.
Key Risks
-
Execution Delays: Scaling REE refining and securing monazite supply (currently reliant on Chemours).
