Dear Mr. Hansen:
Pursuant to the letter from the Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control ("DWMRC")
dated, July 23, 2014, Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. ("EFRI") is required to measure radon flux at
Tailings Impoundment 2 ("Cell 2") at the White Mesa Mill (the "Mill") semi-annually in accordance with
