Q1-23 DATA QUALITY REPORT FOR THE
PRIMARY TEST SECTION
WHITE MESA MILL – TAILINGS MANAGEMENT
CELL 2
ENERGY FUELS RESOURCES (USA) INC.
SAN JUAN COUNTY, UTAH
28 April 2023
1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This data quality report (DQR) was prepared to document data quality assurance for the
White Mesa Mill cover performance monitoring test section (Primary Test Section) for first
quarter 2023 (Q1-23). This report is documentary and not interpretative. The annual report
includes interpretation of the monitoring data.
The Primary Test Section was constructed in August – September 2016 over tailings
management Cell 2 at Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc.’s White Mesa Mill in San Juan
County, Utah. Hydrological monitoring was initiated on 29 September 2016. A large-scale
“ACAP” drainage lysimeter monitors the test section. The lysimeter is equipped to monitor
water balance components and meteorological data.
Fig. 1 shows a profile of the final cover being evaluated at White Mesa (minimum
thickness). Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional schematic of the lysimeter. The test section is
instrumented with two nests of vertically stacked and co-located sensors to monitor soil
temperature and soil water content, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. The nests are on the
centerline of the test section at the upper and lower third points. Probes in the lower nest
are odd numbered and probes in the upper nest are even numbered. The water content
probes were calibrated with on-site soils collected during construction. Temperature
compensation was incorporated into the calibrations.
Flows from runoff, lateral flow (interflow), and percolation collection points in the test
section are routed via pipe (Fig. 2) to collection basins in a subsurface vault downslope
from the test section. Flow into each basin is monitored by tipping buckets and a pressure
transducer. Flows reported by the tipping bucket are described in terms of “tips,” whereas
water elevations reported by the transducers are reported as “stage.” Flows are reported
in mm of water per unit area. The tipping buckets and pressure transducers were initially
calibrated in September 2016 and have been re-calibrated annually. The most recent
calibration was on 12 July 2022.
2.0 WATER BALANCE DATA
Data in this DQR were collected during Q1-23 from 25 December 2022 to 23 March 2023.
These dates align with automated data downloads and do not correspond precisely to the
conventional start and end of Q1-23. Data for 24 March 2023 and onward will be included
in the Q2-23 report.
Fig. 3 shows the water balance graph for the test sections and Table 1 summarizes the
water balance quantities. Fig. 4 shows cumulative percolation and daily precipitation for
both test sections. Figs. 5-32 show data from each sensor collected during Q1-23. The
quality assurance summary is on pp. 7-8.
Nearly 146 mm of precipitation was recorded in Q1-23 from a series of storms that
occurred throughout the quarter (Fig. 8). The precipitation received in Q1-23 equals 81%
of the total precipitation received in 2022, indicating that 2023 is beginning as a wet year.
Infiltration from rainfall and snowmelt has penetrated to a depth of 914 mm (Fig. 16), and
will likely penetrate further in Q2-23. Water contents at shallower depths are elevated
relative to past levels. A small amount of runoff ( 0.08 mm) was transmitted in a series of
events throughout Q1-23 corresponding to rainfall and snowmelt (Fig. 24). No lateral flow
or percolation was transmitted (Figs. 27, 30).

3.0 CONCERNS
• One of the reed switches on the 70-mL tipping bucket in the percolation basin
malfunctioned in Q4-22 and remains non-functional. This switch is used to record tip
counts from the 70-mL tipping bucket, which are converted to percolation rates. This
reed switch will be replaced during the 2023 annual calibration and maintenance
activity. The percolation basin is equipped with redundant reed switches on each
tipping bucket, and four different redundant measures of percolation. Thus, no data
loss is incurred by malfunctioning of this reed switch.
• Power loss to the vault occurred very briefly in mid-January, with the power restored
promptly without intervention. This likely was a power outage in the areas behind the
mill rather than an issue with the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in the vault.
Nevertheless, power to the vault will remain on watch, and the GFCI and the sump
pump in the vault will be inspected and replaced, if necessary, during the 2023 annual
calibration and maintenance activity. Vault power is only used for the sump pump in the
vault. Therefore, power loss to the vault does not result in data loss.
4.0 RESOLVED ISSUES
• The significant differences in water content between Probes 1 and 2 and between
Probes 3 and 4 that initiated in 2017 in response to heavy infiltration due to snow melt
are diminishing. These differences are no longer a concern and have been removed
from Section 3.0 – Concerns.
5.0 ACTION ITEMS
• Replace the nonfunctional reed switch during the 2023 annual calibration and
maintenance visit.
• Continue to monitor power in the vault.

DATA QUALITY REPORT SUMMARY: Q1-23
White Mesa Primary Test Section
12/25/22 through 03/23/23
Water Balance Summary
• Table 1 summarizes the water balance of the test section since inception.
• Fig. 3 presents the water balance graph for the test section since inception.
• Fig. 4 shows graphs of daily precipitation and cumulative percolation for the test section
since inception.
Meteorology
• The battery and solar panel are working properly (Fig. 5).
• All meteorological sensors are working properly (Figs. 6-13).
• The on-site precipitation data are generally consistent with the NWS data recorded
at the Blanding station (KBDG, 37.62° N, 109.47° W, Elev.: 6001 ft) (Fig.8).
Independent precipitation measurements recorded by the Geonor gage and the
tipping bucket are not in agreement (Fig. 9), most likely due to snow accumulation
(the tipping bucket does not register snowfall). Agreement between the Geonor gage
and the tipping bucket will be reviewed again in Q2-23, when snowfall is unlikely.
• Solar radiation data are consistent with data recorded at the NWS Blanding station
(Fig. 13).
Test Section
• The WCR probes for measuring water content are functioning properly (Figs. 14-20).
Differences in water content of approximately 0.08 are reported by Probes 3 and 4 in
the compacted layer at 2134 mm bgs (Fig. 19). Differences in water content of
approximately 0.07 are reported by Probes 1 and 2 in the interim layer at 2743 mm
bgs (Fig. 20). These differences in water content are real and reflect spatial variations
in water content that remain from the deep penetration of a wetting front in Q1-17.
• The thermocouples used to measure soil temperature are functioning properly (Fig. 21).
• Flows reported by the transducer and tippers for runoff are reasonably consistent
(Figs. 22-24).
• Flows reported by the transducer and tippers for lateral flow are reasonably consistent
(Figs. 25-27).
8
• Flows reported by the transducer and tippers for percolation are reasonably
consistent (Figs. 28-30).
• The vault stage has been negative, indicating no accumulating water (Fig. 31).
• The voltage sensor that monitors the power supply in the vault is functioning properly
(Fig. 32). There was one brief interruption in vault power in Q1-23.
