Re Request to Amend State of Utah Groundwater Discharge Permit No, UGW370004 for the
White Mesa Uranium Mill (the "Mill") to change the name of Denison Mines (USA) Corp to
Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc
Dear Mr Lundberg
This letter constitutes Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc's ("EFR's") request to amend the Mill's
Groundwater Discharge Permit No UGW370004 (the "Permit") to change the name of the Permittee
from Denison Mines (USA) Corp to Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc
Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc (previously named Denison Mines (USA) Corp) (the "Permittee")
operates the Mill, located approximately six miles south of Blanding, Utah The Mill processes natural
(native, raw) uranium ores and altemate feed materials The Mill operates under the most current revision
of the above-named Permit, issued by the Utah Division of Radiation Control ("DRC"), which became
effective on August 8, 2012 (although the DRC Director's signature on the permit was erroneously dated
August 7"", 2011), and which is currently in Timely Renewal status
A summary of facts relevant to the above changes is provided below Each of the following facts was
explained to Mr John Hultquist and Ms Gwyn Galloway of DRC on June 27, 2012
• The Permittee was and still is owned by Energy Fuels Holdings Corp (previously named
Denison Mines Holdings Corp ) ("DMHC")
• Energy Fuels Inc ("EFl") acquired DMHC on June 29, 2012 As of that date, EFl acquired
100% of DMHC's United States holdings including the Mill located in San Juan County, Utah
• DRC staff concurred that the above transaction constituted an indirect transfer of control of
Radioactive Materials License No 1900479 (the "License") and the Permit DRC provided a
letter on June 27, 2012 approving the indirect transfer of control of the License and the Permit
• EFl changed the name of the Licensee to Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc , and the name of
DMHC to "Energy Fuels Holdings Corp ", both effective July ^25, 2012

• The office address of the Permittee will change on August 20, 2012 to
Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc
225 Union Boulevard, Suite 600
Lakewood, CO 80228
The Permittee submitted an application for renewal of the Permit on September 1, 2009 and a revised
application, at the request of DRC, on July 13, 2012 As mentioned above, the July 2012 application for
renewal is currently undergoing review by DRC, and the Permit is in Timely Renewal status
Denison's change of name became effective on July 25, 2012, that is, 12 days after Denison's submittal of
the application for renewal of the Permit Now that the change of name is in effect, EFR requests that
DRC change the name of the Permittee on the Permit, either during the upcoming permit renewal, or at
your convenience
Please contact me if you have any questions or require any further information regarding this request
Yours very truly,
ENERGY FUELS RESOURCES (USA) INC.
