Box 144880 Salt Lake City, UT 84114-4820 Re: Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. Notification of Rescheduling of the Radon Flux Measurements for Tailings Impoundment 2 at the White Mesa Mill Dear Mr. Goble: On February 12, 2019, Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. ("EFRI") submitted a 30-day notice regarding a radon flux sampling event for Tailings Impoundment 2 ("Cell 2") at the White Mesa Mill (the "Mill") that was scheduled to be conducted from March 18 - 21, 2019. However, due the inclement weather at the Mill, EFRI is rescheduling the sampling event. This letter serves as notification that the semi-annual sampling event first half of 2019 for Cell 2 Radon Flux is being rescheduled from March 18 - 21, 2019 to March 25 — 28, 2019. As noted in the February 12, 2019 submittal, pursuant to the letter from the Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control ("DWMRC") dated, July 23, 2014, 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 40 CFR 61, Appendix B, Method 115. The measured results will be included in the January through June 2019 Semi-Annual Effluent Report, due September 1, 2019. Tellco Environmental of Grand Junction, Colorado will perform approximately 100 measurements on the cover area of Cell 2 during the sampling event. Provided that there are no rainouts or events that require remobilization or a delay in measurement, the sampling event is expected to conclude on March 28, 2019. EFRI will provide safety and radiological orientation for any DWMRC personnel observing this event. This orientation will be required before any individual enters the Mill Restricted Area. Individuals monitoring this event should bring their own mandatory Personnel Protective Equipment as required at the Mill, specifically, safety glasses, hardhats, and steel-toed shoes. If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact me at 303-389-4134 or Mr. Terry Slade at 435-678-4128. Yours very truly, ENERGY FUELS RESOURCES (USA) INC.
