ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND THE ACCOMPANYING
PROSPECTUS

This document is in two parts. The first part is the Prospectus Supplement, including the documents incorporated by reference, which describes the specific terms of this Offering. The second part, the Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, provides more general information. References to this Prospectus may refer to both parts of this document combined. You are urged to carefully read this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, before buying any of the Common Shares being offered under this Prospectus Supplement. This Prospectus Supplement may add, update or change information contained in the Prospectus. To the extent that any statement made in this Prospectus Supplement is inconsistent with statements made in the Prospectus or any documents incorporated by reference therein, the statements made in this Prospectus Supplement will be deemed to modify or supersede those made in the Prospectus and such documents incorporated by reference therein.

Only the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus should be relied upon. The Company has not authorized any other person to provide different information. If anyone provides different or inconsistent information, it should not be relied upon. The Common Shares offered hereunder may not be offered or sold in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. It should be assumed that the information appearing in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are accurate only as of their respective dates. The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

This Prospectus Supplement does not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities offered by this Prospectus Supplement by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation.

In this Prospectus Supplement, unless stated otherwise, the “Company”, “Energy Fuels”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Energy Fuels Inc. and its subsidiaries.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF
MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES

Unless otherwise indicated, all reserve and resource estimates included in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, have been, and will be, prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“ NI 43-101 ”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum classification system. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “ CSA ”) which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.

Canadian standards, including NI 43-101, differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC and reserve and resource information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by companies reporting under United States standards. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “resource” does not equate to the term “reserve” under SEC Industry Guide 7. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. The SEC’s disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” or “inferred mineral resources” or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute “reserves” by United States standards in documents filed with the SEC. United States investors should also understand that “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “inferred mineral resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws or standards, estimated “inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of feasibility or prefeasibility studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an “inferred mineral resource” exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained pounds” in a resource estimate is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. The requirements of NI 43-101 for identification of “reserves” are also not the same as those of the SEC, and reserves reported by the Company in compliance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as “reserves” under SEC standards. Accordingly, information concerning mineral deposits set forth herein may not be comparable with information made public by companies that report in accordance with United States standards.

The Company does not have any mineral reserves within the meaning of SEC Industry Guide 7.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, including the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, contain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those statements appear in a number of places in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus and in the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference and include, but are not limited to, statements and information regarding the Company’s current intent, belief or expectations primarily with respect to: the Company’s business objectives, plans and expectations for FY-2016 and FY-2017; exploration and development plans and expenditures; estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves; mineral grades; Energy Fuels’ expectations regarding additions to its mineral resources and mineral reserves through acquisitions and development; expectations regarding the integration of Uranerz Energy Corporation (“ Uranerz ”) and EFR Alta Mesa LLC (“ EFR Alta Mesa ”) (previously named Mesteña Uranium, LLC); success of the Company's permitting efforts, including receipt of regulatory approvals, permits and licenses and treatment under governmental regulatory regimes and the expected timeframes for receipt of such approvals, permits, licenses and treatments; possible impacts of regulatory actions; capital expenditures; expansion plans; success of the Company's mining, recovery, processing and/or milling operations; availability of equipment and supplies; availability of alternate feed materials for processing; the Company’s processing and recovery technologies; future mineral extraction and recovery costs, including costs of labor, energy, materials and supplies; future effective tax rates; costs and risks associated with transportation of the Company’s ores, feed materials, intermediate and final products, waste materials and chemicals and reagents used for processing and recovery; costs and risks associated with reliance on third parties for any of the Company’s mining, processing, recovery or waste disposal operations; future benefits costs; future royalties payable; the outcome and possible impacts of disputes and legal proceedings in which the Company is involved; the timing and amount of estimated future mineral extraction and recovery, including Energy Fuels’ expectations regarding expected price levels required to support mineral extraction and recovery and the Company’s ability to increase mineral extraction and recovery as market conditions warrant; sales volumes and future uranium and vanadium prices and treatment charges; future trends in the Company’s industry; global economic growth and industrial demand; global growth in and/or attitudes towards nuclear energy; changes in global uranium and vanadium and concentrate inventories; expected market fundamentals, including the supply and demand for uranium and vanadium; the Company’s and the industry’s expectations relating to future prices of uranium and vanadium; currency exchange rates; environmental and climate change risks; regulatory compliance costs, reclamation costs, including unanticipated reclamation expenses and bonding requirements; collateral requirements for surety bonds; title disputes or claims; the adequacy of insurance coverage; and legal proceedings and the potential outcomes therefrom. In certain cases, forward looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “is likely”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “continue”, or “believes”, and similar expressions or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”.

Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made. Energy Fuels believes that the expectations reflected in this forward-looking information are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct, and such forward-looking information included in this Prospectus should not be unduly relied upon.

S-3


Readers are cautioned that it would be unreasonable to rely on any such forward looking statements and information as creating any legal rights, and that the statements and information are not guarantees and may involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and that actual results are likely to differ (and may differ materially) and objectives and strategies may differ or change from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements or information as a result of various factors. Such risks and uncertainties include risks generally encountered in the development and operation of mineral properties and processing and recover facilities such as: risks that the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of EFR Alta Mesa and the acquisition of Sumitomo Corporation’s 40% interest in the Company’s Roca Honda Project (the “ Roca Honda Acquisition ”) are not realized; risks associated with mineral and resource estimates, including the risk of errors in assumptions or methodologies; risks associated with estimating production, forecasting future price levels necessary to support production, and the Company’s ability to increase production in response to any increases in commodity prices or other market conditions; uncertainties and liabilities inherent in mining and recovery operations; geological, technical and processing problems, including unanticipated metallurgical difficulties, ground control problems, process upsets and equipment malfunctions; transportation risks; risks associated with labour disturbances and unavailability of skilled labour; risks associated with the availability and/or fluctuations in the costs of raw materials and consumables used in the Company's production processes; risks and costs associated with environmental compliance and permitting, including those created by changes in environmental legislation and regulation and delays in obtaining permits and licenses that could impact expected production levels or increases in expected production levels; risks associated with environmental litigation; risks associated with climate change, including laws, regulations, or international accords regarding climate change, the effect of regulations on business trends, and the physical effects of climate change; actions taken by regulatory authorities with respect to mining, recovery and processing activities, including changes to regulatory programs and requirements; risks associated with the Company’s dependence on third parties in the provision of transportation and other critical services; title risks; risks associated with ability of the Company to obtain, extend or renew land tenure, including mineral leases and surface use agreements, on favourable terms or at all; the adequacy of insurance coverage; uncertainty as to reclamation and decommissioning liabilities; the ability of the Company’s bonding companies to require increases in the collateral required to secure reclamation obligations; the potential for, and outcome of, litigation and other legal proceedings, including potential injunctions pending the outcome of such litigation and proceedings; the ability of Energy Fuels to meet its obligations to its creditors; risks associated with paying off indebtedness on its maturity; risks associated with the Company’s relationships with its business and joint venture partners; failure to obtain industry partner, government and other third party consents and approvals, when required; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of mineral reserves, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; risks posed by fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, as well as general economic conditions; risks inherent in the Company’s and industry’s forecasts or predictions of future uranium and vanadium price levels; fluctuations in the market prices of uranium and vanadium, which are cyclical and subject to substantial price fluctuations; failure to obtain suitable uranium sales terms, including spot and term sales contracts; the risks associated with asset impairment as a result of market conditions; risks associated with lack of access to markets and the ability to access capital; the market price of Energy Fuels’ securities; public resistance to nuclear energy or uranium mining or recovery; uranium industry competition and international trade restrictions; risks related to higher than expected costs related to our Nichols Ranch Project and Canyon Mine; risks that commodity price levels will not be sufficient to support production at the Company’s mines and facilities; risks related to securities regulations; risks related to stock price and volume volatility; risks related to our ability to maintain our listing on the NYSE MKT and/or TSX; risks related to our ability to maintain our inclusion in various stock indices; risks related to dilution of currently outstanding shares; risks related to our lack of dividends; risks related to recent market events; risks related to our issuance of additional Common Shares or other securities; risks related to acquisition and integration issues; risks related to defects in title to our mineral properties; risks related to outstanding debt; risks related to the Company’s securities and the other factors discussed under the “Risk Factors” section in this Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Actual results and developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by the forward looking statements contained in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus.

S-4


Such statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, the following assumptions: that there is no material deterioration in general business and economic conditions; that there is no unanticipated fluctuation of interest rates and foreign exchange rates; that the supply and demand for, deliveries of, and the level and volatility of prices of uranium, vanadium and the Company’s other primary metals and minerals develop as expected; that uranium and vanadium prices required to reach, sustain or increase expected or forecasted production levels are realized as expected; that the Company receives regulatory and governmental approvals for the Company’s development projects and other operations on a timely basis; that the Company is able to operate its mineral properties and processing facilities as expected; that existing licenses and permits are renewed as required; that the Company is able to obtain financing for the Company’s development projects on reasonable terms; that the Company is able to procure mining equipment and operating supplies in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis; that engineering and construction timetables and capital costs for the Company’s development and expansion projects and restarting projects on standby, are not incorrectly estimated or affected by unforeseen circumstances; that costs of closure of various operations are accurately estimated; that there are no unanticipated changes in collateral requirements for surety bonds; that there are no unanticipated changes to market competition; that the Company’s reserve and resource estimates are within reasonable bounds of accuracy (including with respect to size, grade and recoverability) and that the geological, operational and price assumptions on which these are based are reasonable; that environmental and other administrative and legal proceedings or disputes are satisfactorily resolved; that there are no significant changes to regulatory programs and requirements that would materially increase regulatory compliance costs or bonding requirements; and that the Company maintains ongoing relations with its employees and with its business and joint venture partners.

All written and oral forward looking statements or information attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.

S-5


Forward looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward looking statements.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of assumptions, risks and uncertainties is not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors which could affect operations or financial results are included under the “Risk Factors” section in this Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The forward-looking statements and forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting any forward looking statements or information except as expressly required by applicable securities laws. If the Company does update one or more forward looking statements, no inference should be drawn that the Company will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward looking statements.

Statements relating to “mineral reserves” or “mineral resources” are deemed to be forward-looking information, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the mineral reserves and mineral resources described can be profitably produced in the future.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Common Shares is subject to a number of risks. A prospective purchaser of the Common Shares should carefully consider the information and risks faced by the Company described in this Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, including without limitation the risk factors set out under the headings “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The operations of the Company are highly speculative due to the high-risk nature of its business, which includes the acquisition, financing, exploration, permitting, development and mining of, or recovery of product from, mineral properties, the recovery, milling and processing of minerals and other feed materials and the marketing of the resulting products. The risks and uncertainties incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also impair the Company’s operations. If any of the risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of the Common Shares could decline and investors could lose part or all of their investment.

Risks Related to This Offering and our Securities

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this Offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.

Because we have not designated the amount of net proceeds from this Offering to be used for any particular purpose, our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds from this Offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of the Offering. Our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not improve our financial condition or market value.

You may experience dilution as a result of the Offering.

Giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares in this Offering, the receipt of the expected net proceeds and the use of those proceeds, this Offering may have a dilutive effect on our expected net income available to our shareholders per share and funds from operations per share. The actual amount of dilution cannot be determined at this time and will be based on a number of factors.

S-9


You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

We are not restricted from issuing additional securities in the future, including Common Shares, securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Common Shares or substantially similar securities. To the extent that we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities will result in dilution to our shareholders. We may sell Common Shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this Offering, and investors purchasing Common Shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell additional Common Shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this Offering.

DILUTION

As of September 30, 2016, our net tangible book value was approximately $137.33 million, or $2.07 per share. Net tangible book value is total assets minus the sum of liabilities, intangible assets and non-controlling interests. Net tangible book value per share is net tangible book value divided by the total number of our Common Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2016.

Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of our Common Shares in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Shares immediately after completion of this Offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 11,764,706 Common Shares are sold at a price of $1.70 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our Common Shares on the NYSE MKT on December 22, 2016, for aggregate proceeds of $20.00 million in this Offering, and after deducting the commissions estimated Offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2016 would have been approximately $156.53 million, or $2.01 per share. This represents an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.06 per share to existing shareholders and immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.31 per share to investors purchasing our Common Shares in this Offering. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

Assumed public Offering price per share $ 1.70  
     Net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2016 $

2.07

 
     Dilution in net tangible book value per share attributable to this Offering $

(0.06)

 
As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2016 after giving effect to this Offering $ 2.01  
     Increase per share to investors purchasing our Common Shares in this Offering $ 0.31  

The table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of 11,764,706 Common Shares are sold during the term of the Sales Agreement at an Offering price of $1.70 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our Common Shares on the NYSE MKT on December 22, 2016, for aggregate gross proceeds of $20.00 million. The Common Shares subject to the Sales Agreement are being sold from time to time at various prices. An increase of $0.10 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed Offering price of $1.70 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our Common Shares in the aggregate amount of $20.00 million during the term of the Sales Agreement is sold at that price, would increase our adjusted net tangible book value per share after the Offering to $2.02 per share and would increase the net tangible book value per share to new investors in this Offering to $0.22 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate Offering expenses payable by us. A decrease of $0.10 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed Offering price of $1.70 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our Common Shares in the aggregate amount of $20.00 million during the term of the Sales Agreement is sold at that price, would decrease our adjusted net tangible book value per share after the Offering to $1.99 per share and would increase the net tangible book value per share to new investors in this Offering to $0.39 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated Offering expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only and may differ based on the actual Offering price and the actual number of shares offered.

The discussion and table above are based on 66,205,153 Common Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2016, and excludes the following, in each case as of such date:

  20,920 Common Shares held in treasury;
2,184,978 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options having a weighted-average exercise price of $5.81 per share;
  1,330,469 Common Shares issuable upon vesting of outstanding restricted stock units;
8,716,348 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants having a weighted- average exercise price of $3.76 per share; and
4,149,411 Common Shares reserved for future issuance under our 2015 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan as of December 22, 2016.

1 Options and Warrants which are granted and are reported in Canadian dollars were translated into U.S. Dollars at the September 30, 2016 foreign exchange rate of 1 Cdn$ = $0.7624 U.S. Dollar.

To the extent that any of these shares are issued upon exercise of outstanding options, vesting of restricted stock units, exercise of warrants or otherwise, investors purchasing our Common Shares in this Offering may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.

S-13


USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the Offering are not determinable in light of the nature of the distribution. The net proceeds of any given distribution of Common Shares through the Agent in an “at the market offering” will represent the gross proceeds after deducting the applicable compensation payable to the Agent under the Sales Agreement and the expenses of the distribution.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds, if any, of the Offering to provide the Company with additional financial flexibility and enhanced options with respect to any or all of the following: (i) to continue to finance the evaluation of the high-grade uranium and copper mineralization and the previously announced shaft-sinking at the Company’s Canyon mine project in Arizona; (ii) to fund wellfield construction at the Company’s Nichols Ranch ISR Project in Wyoming, as market conditions warrant; (iii) to continue permitting of the Company’s projects, including Roca Honda and Jane Dough; (iv) to repay principal on outstanding indebtedness; and/or (v) for general corporate needs and working capital requirements. However, management of Energy Fuels will have discretion with respect to the actual use of the net proceeds of the Offering and there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of the net proceeds is necessary. See “Risk Factors”.

S-14


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company has entered into the Sales Agreement with the Agent under which it may issue and sell from time to time up to $20,000,000 of Common Shares through the Agent. The Sales Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Sales of Common Shares, if any, will be made in transactions that are deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. No Common Shares will be sold on the TSX or on other trading markets in Canada. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement and upon instructions from the Company, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary trading and sales practices and applicable laws, to sell the Common Shares in accordance with the parameters specified by the Company and as set out in the Sales Agreement. The Common Shares will be distributed at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale. As a result, prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution.

The Company will instruct the Agent as to the number of Common Shares to be sold by the Agent from time to time by sending the Agent a notice (a “ Placement Notice ”) that requests that the Agent sell up to a specified dollar amount or a specified number of Common Shares and specifies any parameters in accordance with which the Company requires that the Common Shares be sold. The parameters set forth in a Placement Notice may not conflict with the provisions of the Sales Agreement. The Company or the Agent may suspend the offering of Common Shares upon proper notice and subject to other conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement.

The Company will pay the Agent for its services in acting as agent in the sale of Common Shares, pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, compensation up to but not exceeding 3.0% of the gross proceeds from sales of Common Shares made thereunder. The Agent will be the only person or company paid an underwriting fee or commission in connection with the Offering. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Agent for certain specified expenses, including the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel in an amount not to exceed $50,000. The Company estimates that the total expenses that it will incur for the Offering (including fees payable to stock exchanges, securities regulatory authorities, its counsel and its auditors, but excluding compensation payable to the Agent under the terms of the Sales Agreement) will be approximately $187,000. Settlement for sales of Common Shares will occur on the third business day following the date on which any sales are made, or on such other date as is current industry practice for regular-way trading, in return for payment of the net proceeds to the Company. Sales of Common Shares as contemplated in this Prospectus Supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as the Company and the Agent may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

In connection with the sale of the Common Shares on behalf of the Company, the Agent will be deemed an “underwriter” as defined in applicable securities legislation under the Securities Act, and the compensation of the Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts.

S-15


The Company has agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agent against, among other things, certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The offering of Common Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of: (1) the sale of all Common Shares subject to the Sales Agreement by the Agent or (2) the termination of the Sales Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Agent may terminate the Sales Agreement under the circumstances specified in the Sales Agreement. Each of the Company and the Agent may also terminate the Sales Agreement upon giving the other party ten (10) days’ notice.

The Agent and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the Agent will not engage in any market making activities involving our Common Shares while the Offering is ongoing under this Prospectus Supplement.

This Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by the Agent, and the Agent may distribute this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus electronically.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) as a result of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares acquired pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement.

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder, including, without limitation, specific tax consequences to a U.S. Holder under an applicable income tax treaty. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares. In addition, except as specifically set forth below, this summary does not discuss applicable tax reporting requirements. Each prospective U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “ IRS ”) has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities on which this summary are based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the conclusions described in this summary.

Scope of this Summary

Authorities

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the “ Canada-U.S. Tax Convention ”), and U.S. court decisions that are applicable, and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this document. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis which could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described in this summary. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation.

S-17


U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, the term " U.S. Holder " means a beneficial owner of Common Shares acquired pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

   

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, U.S. Holders that: (a) are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) are broker-dealers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (e) own Common Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) acquire Common Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) hold Common Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); or (h) own, have owned or will own (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company. This summary also does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders who are: (a) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.; (b) persons that have been, are, or will be a resident or deemed to be a resident in Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”); (c) persons that use or hold, will use or hold, or that are or will be deemed to use or hold Common Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada; (d) persons whose Common Shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” under the Tax Act; or (e) persons that have a permanent establishment in Canada for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares.

S-18


If an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership (or other “pass-through” entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Common Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such entity and the partners (or other owners) of such entity generally will depend on the activities of the entity and the status of such partners (or owners). This summary does not address the tax consequences to any such partner (or owner). Partners (or other owners) of entities or arrangements that are classified as partnerships or as “pass-through” entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

Ownership and Disposition of Common Shares

The following discussion is subject to the rules described below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

Taxation of Distributions

A U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to a Common Share will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any foreign income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Company, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Company, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Common Shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such Common Shares (see “Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares” below). However, the Company may not maintain the calculations of its earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder may have to assume that any distribution by the Company with respect to the Common Shares will constitute dividend income. Dividends received on Common Shares by corporate U.S. Holders generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received deduction”. Subject to applicable limitations, dividends paid by the Company to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally will be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains for dividends, provided certain holding period and other conditions are satisfied, including that the Company not be classified as a PFIC (as defined below) in the tax year of distribution or in the preceding tax year. The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares

A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Common Shares sold or otherwise disposed of. Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, such Common Shares are held for more than one year.

S-19


Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

If the Company were to constitute a “passive foreign investment company” (“ PFIC ”) for any year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period, then certain potentially adverse rules would affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder resulting from the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares. The Company believes that it was not a PFIC for its prior tax year ended December 31, 2015, and based on current business plans and financial expectations, the Company expects that it should not be a PFIC for its current tax year ending December 31, 2016. The Company has not made any determination as to its PFIC status for future tax years. PFIC classification is fundamentally factual in nature, generally cannot be determined until the close of the tax year in question, and is determined annually. Additionally, the analysis depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company has never been and will not become a PFIC for any tax year during which U.S. Holders hold Common Shares.

In any year in which the Company is classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will be required to file an annual report with the IRS containing such information as Treasury Regulations and/or other IRS guidance may require. In addition to penalties, a failure to satisfy such reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8621.

The Company generally will be a PFIC if, after the application of certain “look-through” rules with respect to subsidiaries in which the Company holds at least 25% of the value of such subsidiary, for a tax year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Company for such tax year is passive income (the “income test”) or (b) 50% or more of the value of the Company’s assets either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income (the “asset test”), based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets. “Gross income” generally includes all sales revenues less the cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or outside operations or sources, and “passive income” generally includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions; however, certain active business gains arising from the sale of commodities generally are excluded from passive income.

If the Company were a PFIC in any tax year during which a U.S. Holder held Common Shares, such holder generally would be subject to special rules with respect to “excess distributions” made by the Company on the Common Shares and with respect to gain from the disposition of Common Shares. An “excess distribution” generally is defined as the excess of distributions with respect to the Common Shares received by a U.S. Holder in any tax year over 125% of the average annual distributions such U.S. Holder has received from the Company during the shorter of the three preceding tax years, or such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares.

S-20


Generally, a U.S. Holder would be required to allocate any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of the Common Shares rateably over its holding period for the Common Shares. Such amounts allocated to the year of the disposition or excess distribution and any year prior to the first year in which the Company was a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income in the year of the disposition or excess distribution, and amounts allocated to each other tax year would be taxed as ordinary income at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year for the applicable class of taxpayer and an interest charge at a rate applicable to underpayments of tax would apply.

While there are U.S. federal income tax elections that sometimes can be made to mitigate these adverse tax consequences (including the “QEF Election” under Section 1295 of the Code and the “Mark-to-Market Election” under Section 1296 of the Code), such elections are available in limited circumstances and must be made in a timely manner.

U.S. Holders should be aware that, for each tax year, if any, that the Company is a PFIC, the Company can provide no assurances that it will satisfy the record keeping requirements or make available to U.S. Holders the information such U.S. Holders require to make a QEF Election with respect to the Company or any subsidiary that also is classified as a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to the ownership and disposition of Common Shares, and the availability of certain U.S. tax elections under the PFIC rules.

Additional Considerations

Additional Tax on Passive Income

Certain individuals, estates and trusts whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surtax on “net investment income” including, among other things, dividends and net gain from disposition of property (other than property held in certain trades or businesses). U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application, if any, of this tax on their ownership and disposition of Common Shares.

Receipt of Foreign Currency

The amount of any distribution paid to a U.S. Holder in foreign currency, or on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt (regardless of whether such foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars at that time). A U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who converts or otherwise disposes of the foreign currency after the date of receipt may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method with respect to foreign currency. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.

S-21


Foreign Tax Credit

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid on the Common Shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder’s income that is subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.

Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder’s “foreign source” taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder’s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder’s various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source.” Generally, dividends paid by a foreign corporation should be treated as foreign source for this purpose, and gains recognized on the sale of stock of a foreign corporation by a U.S. Holder should be treated as U.S. source for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty, and if an election is properly made under the Code. However, the amount of a distribution with respect to the Common Shares that is treated as a “dividend” may be lower for U.S. federal income tax purposes than it is for Canadian federal income tax purposes, resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit allowance to a U.S. Holder. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income. The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Under U.S. federal income tax law, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a foreign corporation. For example, U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) are imposed on individuals who are U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of certain threshold amounts. The definition of specified foreign financial assets includes not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also, unless held in accounts maintained by a financial institution, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract held for investment that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a foreign entity. U.S. Holders may be subject to these reporting requirements unless their Common Shares are held in an account at certain financial institutions. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8938.

Payments made within the U.S. or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, and proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of, Common Shares will generally be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, at the rate of 28%, if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder’s correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax. However, certain exempt persons generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner.

S-22


The discussion of reporting requirements set forth above is not intended to constitute a complete description of all reporting requirements that may apply to a U.S. Holder. A failure to satisfy certain reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax, and under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to any unsatisfied reporting requirement. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules.

SUMMARY

The Company

Energy Fuels is engaged in conventional extraction and in situ recovery (“ ISR ”) of uranium, along with the exploration, permitting, and evaluation of uranium properties in the United States. Energy Fuels owns the Nichols Ranch uranium recovery facility in Wyoming (the “ Nichols Ranch Project ”), which is one of the newest ISR uranium recovery facilities operating in the United States. In addition, Energy Fuels owns the White Mesa Mill in Utah (the “ White Mesa Mill ”), which is the only conventional uranium recovery facility operating in the United States. The Company also owns uranium and uranium/vanadium properties and projects in various stages of exploration, permitting, and evaluation, as well as fully-permitted uranium and uranium/vanadium projects on standby. The White Mesa Mill can also recover vanadium as a co-product of mineralized material produced from certain of its projects in Colorado and Utah. In addition, Energy Fuels recovers uranium from other uranium-bearing materials not derived from conventional material, referred to as “alternate feed materials,” at its White Mesa Mill.

The registered and head office of Energy Fuels is located at 80 Richmond Street West, Victory Building, 18 th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2A4, Canada. Energy Fuels conducts its business and owns its assets in the United States through its U.S. subsidiaries, which have their principal place of business and corporate office at 225 Union Blvd., Suite 600, Lakewood, Colorado 80228, USA. Energy Fuels’ website address is www.energyfuels.com.

Recent Developments

On April 15, 2016, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Mark Chalmers as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Chalmers will join the Company’s management team in July 2016 and oversee all of the Company’s conventional and ISR uranium production operations. From 2011 to 2015, Mr. Chalmers served as Executive General Manager of Production for Paladin Energy Ltd., a uranium producer with assets in Australia and Africa, including the Langer Heinrich and Kayelekera mines, where he oversaw sustained, significant increases in production while reducing operating costs. He also possesses extensive experience in ISR uranium production, including management of the Beverley Uranium Mine owned by General Atomics (Australia), and the Highland mine owned by Cameco Corporation (USA). Mr. Chalmers has also consulted to several of the largest players in the uranium supply sector, including BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, and Marubeni, and currently serves as the Chair of the Australian Uranium Council, a position he has held since 2007. Mr. Chalmers represents a valuable addition to our management team and an important element in our overall management continuity and succession planning strategy.

However, no Prospectus Supplement or free writing prospectus will offer a security that is not registered and described in this Prospectus at the time of the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

We may sell the Securities on a continuous or delayed basis to or through underwriters, dealers or agents or directly to purchasers. The Prospectus Supplement, which we will provide to you each time we offer Securities, will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents involved in the sale of the Securities, and any applicable fee, commission or discount arrangements with them.

Common Shares

We may offer Common Shares. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote per Common Share on all matters that require shareholder approval.

Our Common Shares are described in greater detail in this Prospectus under “Description of Common Shares.”

Warrants

We may offer Warrants for the purchase of Common Shares or Preferred Shares, in one or more series, from time to time. We may issue Warrants independently or together with Common Shares or Preferred Shares and the Warrants may be attached to or separate from such securities.

The Warrants will be evidenced by warrant certificates and may be issued under one or more warrant indentures, which are contracts between us and a warrant trustee for the holders of the Warrants. In this Prospectus, we have summarized certain general features of the Warrants under “Description of Warrants.” We urge you, however, to read any Prospectus Supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you related to the series of Warrants being offered, as well as the complete warrant indentures, if applicable, and warrant certificates that contain the terms of the Warrants.

In connection with a rights offering, we may enter into a separate agreement with one or more underwriters or standby purchasers to purchase any securities not subscribed for in the rights offering by existing shareholders, which will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank, trust company or transfer agent, as rights agent.

Each escrow agent will be a financial institution organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or Canada or any province thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee. A copy of the form of subscription receipt agreement will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part, or will be incorporated by reference from a Current Report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC.

Risk Factors

See “ Risk Factors,” as well as other information included in this prospectus, for a discussion of factors you should read and consider carefully before investing in our securities

THIS PROSPECTUS MAY NOT BE USED TO OFFER OR SELL ANY SECURITIES UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY A PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT.

4


RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors in a particular offering of Securities should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this Prospectus, any applicable Prospectus Supplement, and the documents incorporated by reference herein before investing in the Securities. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be materially harmed. Additional risks, including those of which we are currently unaware or that we deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business. You should also read and carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as amended, and the other information contained in this Prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable Prospectus Supplement, before purchasing any of our Securities.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share paid by any investor in an offering in a subsequent Prospectus Supplement. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by any investor in an offering in a subsequent Prospectus Supplement, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to you. The price per share at which we sell additional Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by any investor in an offering under a subsequent Prospectus Supplement.

Future offerings of debt or preferred equity securities, which would rank senior to our Common Shares, may adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

If, in the future, we decide to issue debt or preferred equity securities that may rank senior to our Common Shares, it is likely that such securities will be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our Common Shares and may result in dilution to owners of our Common Shares. We and, indirectly, our shareholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, holders of our common shares will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our Common Shares and diluting the value of their stock holdings in us.

There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for certain Securities or that a trading market for certain Securities will develop.

There is no public market for the Warrants, Preferred Shares, Rights, Subscription Receipts or Debt Securities and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company does not intend to apply for listing of these securities on any securities exchange. If these securities are traded after their initial issue, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices depending on the market for similar securities, prevailing interest rates and other factors, including general economic conditions and the Company’s financial condition. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for any Warrants, Preferred Shares, Rights, Subscription Receipts or Debt Securities or that a trading market for these securities will develop.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable US and Canadian securities laws. Such forward-looking statements concern the Company’s anticipated results and progress of the Company’s operations in future periods, planned exploration, and, if warranted, development of its properties, plans related to its business, and other matters that may occur in the future. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

This information speaks only as of the date of this Prospectus or as of the date of the document incorporated by reference herein.

Readers are cautioned that it would be unreasonable to rely on any such forward-looking statements and information as creating any legal rights, and that the statements and information are not guarantees and may involve known and unknown risks, and that actual results are likely to differ (and may differ materially) and objectives and strategies may differ or change from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements or information as a result of various factors. Such risks include risks generally encountered in the exploration, development, operation, and closure of mineral properties and processing facilities. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:

risks associated with mineral reserve and resource estimates, including the risk of errors in assumptions or methodologies;

risks associated with estimating mineral extraction and recovery, forecasting future price levels necessary to support mineral extraction and recovery, and the Company’s ability to increase mineral extraction and recovery in response to any increases in commodity prices or other market conditions;

risks related to liabilities inherent to conventional mineral extraction and recovery and/or ISR uranium operations;

geological, technical and processing problems, including unanticipated metallurgical difficulties, less than expected recoveries, ground control problems, process upsets, and equipment malfunctions;

risks associated with labor costs, labor disturbances, and unavailability of skilled labor;

risks associated with the availability and/or fluctuations in the costs of raw materials and consumables used in the Company’s production processes;

risks associated with environmental compliance and permitting, including those created by changes in environmental legislation and regulation, and delays in obtaining permits and licenses that could impact expected mineral extraction and recovery levels and costs;

actions taken by regulatory authorities with respect to mineral extraction and recovery activities;

risks associated with the Company’s dependence on third parties in the provision of transportation and other critical services or goods;

risks associated with the ability of the Company to negotiate access rights on certain properties on favorable terms or at all;

risks associated with the ability of the Company to extend or renew land tenure, including mineral leases and surface use agreements, on favorable terms or at all;

the adequacy of insurance coverage;

risks related to reclamation and decommissioning liabilities;

the ability of the Company’s bonding companies to require increases in the collateral required to secure reclamation obligations;

the potential for, and outcome of, litigation and other legal proceedings, including potential injunctions pending the outcome of such litigation and proceedings;

the ability of the Company to meet its obligations to its creditors;

risks associated with paying off indebtedness at its maturity;

risks associated with the Company’s relationships with its business and joint venture partners;

failure to obtain industry partner, government, and other third party consents and approvals, when required;

competition for, among other things, capital, mineral properties, and skilled personnel;

failure to complete proposed acquisitions and incorrect assessments of the value of completed acquisitions;

risks posed by fluctuations in share price levels, exchange rates and interest rates, and general economic conditions;

risks inherent in the Company’s and industry analysts’ forecasts or predictions of future uranium and vanadium price levels;

6



fluctuations in the market prices of uranium and vanadium, which are cyclical and subject to substantial price fluctuations;
failure to obtain suitable uranium sales terms, including spot and term sale contracts;
risks associated with asset impairment as a result of market conditions;
risks associated with lack of access to markets and the ability to access capital;
the market price of Energy Fuels’ securities;
public resistance to nuclear energy or uranium extraction and recovery;
uranium industry competition and international trade restrictions;
risks related to higher than expected costs related to our Nichols Ranch Project and Canyon Project;
risks related to securities regulations;
risks related to stock price and volume volatility;
risks related to our ability to maintain our listing on the NYSE MKT and/or TSX;
risks related to our ability to maintain our inclusion in various stock indices;
risks related to dilution of currently outstanding shares;
risks related to our lack of dividends;
risks related to recent market events;
risks related to our issuance of additional Common Shares or other securities;
risks related to acquisition and integration issues;
risks related to defects in title to our mineral properties;
risks related to our outstanding debt; and
risks related to our securities.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Some of the important risks that could affect forward-looking statements are described further in the documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Should one or more of these risks materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated, or expected. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we disclaim any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Statements relating to “mineral reserves” or “mineral resources” are deemed to be forward-looking information, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions that the mineral reserves and mineral resources described may be profitably extracted in the future.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus by the foregoing cautionary statements .

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS CONCERNING DISCLOSURE OF MINERAL RESOURCES

This Prospectus contains or incorporates by reference certain disclosure that has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of the United States’ securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all reserve and resource estimates included in this Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“ NI 43-101 ”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“ CIM ”) classification system. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “ CSA ”) which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.

Canadian standards, including NI 43-101, differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC. Reserve and resource information contained herein, or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by companies reporting under only United States standards. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “resource” does not equate to the term “reserve” under SEC Industry Guide 7. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves; the three-year historical average price, to the extent possible, is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves; and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

7


The SEC’s disclosure standards under Industry Guide 7 normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” or “inferred mineral resources” or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute “reserves” by United States standards in documents filed with the SEC. United States investors should also understand that “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “inferred mineral resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimated “inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of feasibility or prefeasibility studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an “inferred mineral resource” exists or is economically or legally mineable.

Disclosure of “contained pounds” or “contained ounces” in a resource estimate is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. The requirements of NI 43-101 for identification of “reserves” are also not the same as those of the SEC, and reserves reported by the Company in compliance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as “reserves” under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards. Accordingly, information concerning mineral deposits set forth herein may not be comparable to information made public by companies that report in accordance with United States standards.

As a company incorporated in Canada, unless otherwise indicated, we estimate and report our resources and our current reserves according to the definitions set forth in NI 43-101.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERENCE DIVIDENDS

The following table sets forth our consolidated ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preference dividends for the periods indicated.

    Fiscal Year Ended December 31,  
    2011     2012     2013     2014     2015  
Ratio of Earnings to Combined Fixed
     Charges and Preference Dividends(1)
  (3,655.5 )   22.9     (23.9 )   (50.3 )   (39.5 )

(1)

The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preference dividends represents the number of times that fixed charges and preference dividends are covered by earnings. Earnings consist of income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes and fixed charges, excluding preference dividends. Fixed charges consist of interest expensed and capitalized under capital leases, estimated interest expense within rental expense, and preference dividends. In the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2011, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $80.32 million, $84.95 million, $35.12 million and $57.34 million, respectively.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have no Preferred Shares outstanding. Consequently, our ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and Preferred Share dividends and ratio of earnings to fixed charges would be identical.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of Securities will be used by us for acquisitions, the exploration and development, as warranted, of existing or acquired mineral properties, working capital requirements or for other general corporate purposes. More detailed information regarding the use of proceeds from the sale of Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. We may, from time to time, issue Common Shares or other securities otherwise than through the offering of Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, without par value, of which 51,890,745 are issued and outstanding as at the date of this Prospectus. As of the date of this Prospectus, there are (a) options outstanding to purchase up to 2,420,307 Common Shares at exercise prices ranging from $2.12 to $15.61 and (b) restricted stock units redeemable for 1,075,779 Common Shares and (c) 4,547,598 warrants outstanding to purchase Common Shares at exercise prices ranging from $3.20 to $10.56. Options and warrants which were granted and are reported in Canadian dollars were translated into US dollars at the April 29, 2016 foreign exchange rate of Cdn$1 = $0.7969 US dollar.

In addition, on July 24, 2012, the Company issued Cdn$22,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures (the “Debentures” ). The Debentures will mature on June 30, 2017 and may be converted into Common Shares of the Company at the option of the holder at a conversion price, subject to certain adjustments, of Cdn$15.00 per share at any time prior to redemption or maturity. As of April 14, 2016, up to 1,466,667 Common Shares are issuable upon conversion of the Debentures. At maturity, the Debentures may be retired either through the payment of cash or, at the option of the Company, the issuance of Common Shares. If retired through the issuance of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares will be obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Debentures by 95% of the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX over the 20 consecutive trading days ending five days prior to maturity.

Holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote per Common Share at all meetings of shareholders. The holders of Common Shares are also entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by our Board of Directors and to receive a pro rata share of the assets of the Company available for distribution to the holders of Common Shares in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. There are no pre-emptive, conversion or redemption rights attached to the Common Shares.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable Prospectus Supplements and free writing prospectuses, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the Warrants that we may offer under this Prospectus, which will consist of Warrants to purchase Common Shares or Preferred Shares and may be issued in one or more series. Warrants may be offered independently or together with Common Shares or Preferred Shares, Rights or any combination thereof, and may be attached to or separate from those Securities. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any Warrants that we may offer under this Prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of Warrants that we may offer in more detail in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus. The terms of any Warrants offered under a Prospectus Supplement may differ from the terms described below.

General

Warrants may be issued under and governed by the terms of one or more warrant indentures (each of which we refer to as a “ Warrant Indenture ”) between us and a warrant trustee (which we refer to as the “ Warrant Trustee ”) that we will name in the relevant Prospectus Supplement, if applicable. Each Warrant Trustee will be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada, the United States, or any province or state thereof, and authorized to carry on business as a trustee.

This summary of some of the provisions of the Warrants is not complete. The statements made in this Prospectus relating to any Warrant Indenture and Warrants to be issued under this Prospectus are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the Warrant Indenture, if any, and the Warrant certificate. Prospective investors should refer to the Warrant Indenture, if any, and the Warrant certificate relating to the specific Warrants being offered for the complete terms of the Warrants. If applicable, we will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a Current Report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, any Warrant Indenture describing the terms and conditions of Warrants we are offering before the issuance of such Warrants.

10


The applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to any Warrants offered by us will describe the particular terms of those Warrants and include specific terms relating to the offering. This description will include, where applicable:

  • the designation and aggregate number of Warrants;
  • the price at which the Warrants will be offered;
  • the currency or currencies in which the Warrants will be offered;
  • the date on which the right to exercise the Warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire;
  • the number of Common Shares or Preferred Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of each Warrant and the price at which and currency or currencies in which the Common Shares or Preferred Shares may be purchased upon exercise of each Warrant;
  • the designation and terms of any Securities with which the Warrants will be offered, if any, and the number of the Warrants that will be offered with each Security;
  • the date or dates, if any, on or after which the Warrants and the other Securities with which the Warrants will be offered will be transferable separately;
  • whether the Warrants will be subject to redemption and, if so, the terms of such redemption provisions;
  • whether we will issue the Warrants as global securities and, if so, the identity of the depositary of the global securities;
  • whether the Warrants will be listed on any exchange;
  • material United States and Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning, exercising and disposing of the Warrants; and
  • any other material terms or conditions of the Warrants.

Rights of Holders Prior to Exercise

Prior to the exercise of their Warrants, holders of Warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

Exercise of Warrants

Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the Common Shares or Preferred Shares that we specify in the applicable Prospectus Supplement at the exercise price that we describe therein. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, holders of the Warrants may exercise the Warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised Warrants will become void.

Holders of the Warrants may exercise the Warrants by delivering the Warrant certificate representing the Warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the Warrant Trustee, if any, or to us, as applicable, in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. We will set forth on the Warrant certificate and in the applicable Prospectus Supplement the information that the holder of the Warrant will be required to deliver to the Warrant Trustee, if any, or to us, as applicable.

Upon receipt of the required payment and the Warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Trustee, if any, to us at our principal offices, as applicable, or any other office indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, we will issue and deliver the Common Shares or Preferred Shares purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the Warrants represented by the Warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new Warrant certificate for the remaining amount of Warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, holders of the Warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for Warrants.

Anti-Dilution

The Warrant Indenture, if any, and the Warrant certificate will specify that upon the subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or other material change of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares or any other reorganization, amalgamation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the Warrants will thereafter evidence the right of the holder to receive the securities, property or cash deliverable in exchange for or on the conversion of or in respect of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares to which such holder would have been entitled immediately after such event. Similarly, any distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares or Preferred Shares of rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets will result in an adjustment in the number of Common Shares or Preferred Shares to be issued to holders of Warrants, as applicable.

11


Global Securities

We may issue Warrants in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities, which will be registered in the name of and be deposited with a depositary, or its nominee, each of which will be identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The global securities may be in temporary or permanent form. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe the terms of any depositary arrangement and the rights and limitations of owners of beneficial interests in any global security. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe the exchange, registration and transfer rights relating to any global security.

Modifications

The Warrant Indenture, if any, will provide for modifications and alterations to the Warrants issued thereunder by way of a resolution of holders of Warrants at a meeting of such holders or a consent in writing from such holders. The number of holders of Warrants required to pass such a resolution or execute such a written consent will be specified in the Warrant Indenture, if any.

We may amend any Warrant Indenture and the Warrants, without the consent of the holders of the Warrants, to cure any ambiguity, to cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision, or in any other manner that will not materially and adversely affect the interests of holders of outstanding Warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable Prospectus Supplements and free writing prospectuses, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the Rights that we may offer under this Prospectus. Rights may be offered independently or together with Common Shares, Warrants, Preferred Shares or other security, or a combination thereof, and may be attached to or separate from those Securities. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any Rights that we may offer under this Prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of Rights in more detail in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The terms of any Rights offered under a Prospectus Supplement may differ from the terms described below.

General

Rights may be issued independently or together with any other security and may or may not be transferable. As part of any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement under which the underwriters or any other person would purchase any securities that are not purchased in such rights offering. If we issue Rights, each series of Rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank, trust company or transfer agent, as rights agent, that will be named in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Further terms of the Rights will be stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent and will not assume any obligation to any holders of Rights certificates or beneficial owners of Rights. The rights agreements and rights certificates will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part or as an exhibit to a filing incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

The Prospectus Supplement relating to any Rights we offer will describe the specific terms of the offering and the Rights, including the record date for shareholders entitled to the Rights distribution, the number of Rights issued and the number of Common Shares or other securities that may be purchased upon exercise of the Rights, the exercise price of the Rights, the date on which the Rights will become effective and the date on which the Rights will expire, and any applicable U.S. and Canadian federal income tax considerations.

In general, a Right entitles the holder to purchase for cash a specific number of Common Shares or other securities at a specified exercise price. The Rights are normally issued to shareholders as of a specific record date, may be exercised only for a limited period of time and become void following the expiration of such period. If we decide to issue Rights, we will accompany this prospectus with a Prospectus Supplement that will describe, among other things:

  the record date for shareholders entitled to receive the Rights;

12



 

the number of Common Shares or other securities that may be purchased upon exercise of each Right;

     
 

the exercise price of the Rights;

     
 

the terms for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price, if any;

     
 

whether the Rights are transferable;

     
 

the period during which the Rights may be exercised and when they will expire;

     
 

the steps required to exercise the Rights;

     
 

whether the Rights include “oversubscription rights” so that the holder may purchase more securities if other holders do not purchase their full allotments;

     
 

whether we intend to sell Common Shares or other securities that are not purchased in the rights offering to an underwriter or other purchaser under a contractual “standby” commitment or other arrangement;

     
 

our ability to withdraw or terminate the rights offering;

     
 

material United States and Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning, exercising and disposing of Rights; and

     
 

other material terms, including terms relating to transferability, exchange, exercise or amendment of the Rights.

If fewer than all of the Rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than shareholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised Rights will become void.

Prior to the exercise of a holder’s Rights, the holder will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities issuable upon the exercise of the Rights and will not be entitled to, among other things, vote or receive dividend payments or other distributions on the securities purchasable upon exercise.

DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS

We may issue Subscription Receipts, which will entitle holders to receive upon satisfaction of certain release conditions and for no additional consideration, Common Shares, Warrants, Preferred Shares or any combination thereof. Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to one or more subscription receipt agreements (each, a “ Subscription Receipt Agreement ”), each to be entered into between us and an escrow agent (the “ Escrow Agent ”), which will establish the terms and conditions of the Subscription Receipts. Each Escrow Agent will be a financial institution organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof or Canada or a province thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee. We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a Current Report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, any Subscription Receipt Agreement describing the terms and conditions of Subscription Receipts we are offering before the issuance of such Subscription Receipts.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of Subscription Receipts and is not intended to be complete. The statements made in this Prospectus relating to any Subscription Receipt Agreement and Subscription Receipts to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable Subscription Receipt Agreement and the Prospectus Supplement describing such Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The Prospectus Supplement relating to any Subscription Receipts we offer will describe the Subscription Receipts and include specific terms relating to their offering. All such terms will comply with the requirements of the TSX and NYSE MKT relating to Subscription Receipts. If underwriters or agents are used in the sale of Subscription Receipts, one or more of such underwriters or agents may also be parties to the Subscription Receipt Agreement governing the Subscription Receipts sold to or through such underwriters or agents.

  • the designation and aggregate number of Subscription Receipts offered;

  • the price at which the Subscription Receipts will be offered;

  • the currency or currencies in which the Subscription Receipts will be offered;

  • the designation, number and terms of the Common Shares, Warrants, Preferred Shares or combination thereof to be received by holders of Subscription Receipts upon satisfaction of the release conditions, and the procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers;

  • whether any payments will be made to holders of Subscription Receipts upon delivery of the Common Shares, Warrants, Preferred Shares or a combination thereof upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions ( e.g. , an amount equal to dividends declared on Common Shares or Preferred Shares by us to holders of record during the period from the date of issuance of the Subscription Receipts to the date of issuance of any Common Shares or Preferred Shares pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement);

  • the terms and conditions under which the Escrow Agent will hold all or a portion of the gross proceeds from the sale of Subscription Receipts, together with interest and income earned thereon (collectively, the “Escrowed Funds”), pending satisfaction of the Release Conditions;

  • the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Escrow Agent will hold Common Shares or Warrants or Preferred Shares or a combination thereof pending satisfaction of the Release Conditions;

  • the terms and conditions under which the Escrow Agent will release all or a portion of the Escrowed Funds to us upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions;

  • if the Subscription Receipts are sold to or through underwriters or agents, the terms and conditions under which the Escrow Agent will release a portion of the Escrowed Funds to such underwriters or agents in payment of all or a portion of their fees or commission in connection with the sale of the Subscription Receipts;

  • procedures for the refund by the Escrow Agent to holders of Subscription Receipts of all or a portion of the subscription price for their Subscription Receipts, plus any pro rata entitlement to interest earned or income generated on such amount, if the Release Conditions are not satisfied;

  • any entitlement of the Company to purchase the Subscription Receipts in the open market by private agreement or otherwise;

  • the identity of the Escrow Agent;

  • whether the Subscription Receipts will be listed on any exchange;

14


  • material United States and Canadian federal tax consequences of acquiring, owning, receiving securities in exchange and disposing of the Subscription Receipts; and

  • any other terms of the Subscription Receipts.

In addition, the Prospectus Supplement and the Subscription Receipt Agreement for any Subscription Receipts we offer will describe all contractual rights of rescission that will be granted to initial purchasers of Subscription Receipts in the event this Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement under which the Subscription Receipts are issued or any amendment hereto or thereto contains a misrepresentation, as discussed further under the sub-paragraph entitled “Rescission” below.

The holders of Subscription Receipts will not be shareholders of the Company. Holders of Subscription Receipts are entitled only to receive Common Shares, Warrants, Preferred Shares or a combination thereof on exchange of their Subscription Receipts, plus any cash payments provided for under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, if the Release Conditions are satisfied. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied, the holders of Subscription Receipts shall be entitled to a refund of all or a portion of the subscription price therefor and all or a portion of the pro rata share of interest earned or income generated thereon, as provided in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Escrow

The Escrowed Funds will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, and such Escrowed Funds will be released to us (and, if the Subscription Receipts are sold to or through underwriters or agents, a portion of the Escrowed Funds may be released to such underwriters or agents in payment of all or a portion of their fees in connection with the sale of the Subscription Receipts) at the time and under the terms specified by the Subscription Receipt Agreement. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive a refund of all or a portion of the subscription price for their Subscription Receipts plus their pro rata entitlement to interest earned or income generated on such amount, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. Common Shares or Warrants or Preferred Shares may be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, and will be released to the holders of Subscription Receipts following satisfaction of the Release Conditions at the time and under the terms specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Anti-Dilution

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will specify that upon the subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or other material change of the Common Shares or Warrants or Preferred Shares, as applicable, or any other reorganization, amalgamation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the Subscription Receipts will thereafter evidence the right of the holder to receive the securities, property or cash deliverable in exchange for or on the conversion of or in respect of the Common Shares or Warrants or Preferred Shares to which the holder of a Common Share or Warrant or Preferred Share would have been entitled immediately after such event. Similarly, any distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares or Preferred Shares, as applicable, of rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets will result in an adjustment in the number of Common Shares or Preferred Shares, as applicable, to be issued to holders of Subscription Receipts whose Subscription Receipts entitle the holders thereof to receive Common Shares or Preferred Shares, as applicable. Alternatively, such securities, evidences of indebtedness or assets may, at our option, be issued to the Escrow Agent and delivered to holders of Subscription Receipts on exercise thereof. The Subscription Receipt Agreement will also provide that if other actions of the Company affect the Common Shares or Warrants or Preferred Shares, as applicable, which, in the reasonable opinion of our directors, would materially affect the rights of the holders of Subscription Receipts and/or the rights attached to the Subscription Receipts, the number of Common Shares or Warrants or Preferred Shares, as applicable, which are to be received pursuant to the Subscription Receipts shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time as our directors may in their discretion reasonably determine to be equitable to the holders of Subscription Receipts in such circumstances.

Rescission

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will also provide that any misrepresentation in this Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement under which the Subscription Receipts are offered, or any amendment thereto, will entitle each initial purchaser of Subscription Receipts to a contractual right of rescission following the issuance of the Common Shares or Warrants or Preferred Shares, as applicable, to such purchaser entitling such purchaser to receive the amount paid for the Subscription Receipts upon surrender of the Common Shares or Warrants or Preferred Shares, as applicable, provided that such remedy for rescission is exercised in the time stipulated in the Subscription Receipt Agreement. This right of rescission does not extend to holders of Subscription Receipts who acquire such Subscription Receipts from an initial purchaser, on the open market or otherwise, or to initial purchasers who acquire Subscription Receipts in the United States.

15


Global Securities

We may issue Subscription Receipts in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities, which will be registered in the name of and be deposited with a depositary, or its nominee, each of which will be identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The global securities may be in temporary or permanent form. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe the terms of any depositary arrangement and the rights and limitations of owners of beneficial interests in any global security. The applicable Prospectus Supplement also will describe the exchange, registration and transfer rights relating to any global security.

Modifications

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will provide for modifications and alterations to the Subscription Receipts issued thereunder by way of a resolution of holders of Subscription Receipts at a meeting of such holders or a consent in writing from such holders. The number of holders of Subscriptions Receipts required to pass such a resolution or execute such a written consent will be specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED SHARES

The Preferred Shares issuable in series will have the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions assigned to the particular series upon the board of directors of the Company approving their issuance, subject to the Company’s articles of continuance. We currently have authorized an unlimited number of Series A Preferred Shares which are non-redeemable, non-callable, non-voting and do not have a right to dividends. The terms of any Preferred Shares offered under this Prospectus and any related agreements will be described in the Prospectus Supplement filed in respect of the issuance of such Preferred Shares.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

From time to time, debt securities may be offered and sold under this Prospectus. The terms of any debt securities and any related agreements or indentures will be described in a Prospectus Supplement to be filed in respect of such offering.

We will provide particular terms and provisions of a series of Debt Securities, and a description of how the general terms and provisions described below may apply to that series, in a Prospectus Supplement. The following summary may not contain all of the information that is important to the investor. For a more complete description, prospective investors should refer to the applicable Prospectus Supplement and to the applicable indenture (the “ Indenture ”), a copy of which will be distributed in connection with any distribution of Debt Securities under this Prospectus and filed by us with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States after we have entered into it. The Indenture will be subject to and governed by the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

The Indenture may not limit the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities which may be issued under it, and we may issue Debt Securities in one or more series. Securities may be denominated and payable in any currency. We may offer no more than $100,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies) aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities pursuant to this Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Indenture will permit us, without the consent of the holders of any Debt Securities, to issue additional Debt Securities under the Indenture with the same terms and with the same CUSIP numbers as the Debt Securities offered in that series, provided that such additional Debt Securities must be part of the same issue as the Debt Securities offered in that series for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We may also from time to time repurchase Debt Securities in open market purchases or negotiated transactions without prior notice to holders.

The applicable Prospectus Supplement will set forth the following terms relating to the Debt Securities offered by such Prospectus Supplement:

  • the title of the Debt Securities;
  • the total principal amount of the Debt Securities;

16


  • whether the Debt Securities will be issued in individual certificates to each holder or in the form of temporary or permanent global Debt Securities held by a depositary on behalf of holders;
  • the date or dates on which the principal of and any premium on the Debt Securities will be payable;
  • any interest rate, the date from which interest will accrue, interest payment dates and record dates for interest payments and whether and under what circumstances any additional amounts with respect to the Debt Securities will be payable;
  • the place or places where payments on the Debt Securities will be payable;
  • any provisions for optional redemption, early repayment, retraction, purchase for cancellation or surrender;
  • any sinking fund or other provisions that would require the redemption, purchase or repayment of Debt Securities;
  • whether payments on the Debt Securities will be payable in a foreign currency or currency units or another form;
  • the portion of the principal amount of Debt Securities that will be payable if the maturity is accelerated, other than the entire principal amount;
  • events of default by the Company and covenants of the Company;
  • any restrictions or other provisions relating to the transfer or exchange of Debt Securities;
  • any provisions permitting or restricting the issuance of additional securities, the incurring of additional indebtedness and other material negative covenants including restrictions against payment of dividends and restrictions against giving security on our assets or the assets of our subsidiaries;
  • the rank and terms of subordination of any series of subordinate debt;
  • whether or not the Debt Securities will be secured or unsecured, and the terms of any secured debt including a general description of the collateral and of the material terms of any related security, pledge or other agreements;
  • any terms for the conversion or exchange of the Debt Securities for other securities of the Company or any other entity, or for the redemption on maturity through the issuance of Common Shares or any other securities of the Company; and
  • any other terms of the Debt Securities not prohibited by the Indenture.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement we will issue Debt Securities in registered form without coupons, and in denominations of $1,000 and multiples of $1,000. Debt Securities may be presented for exchange, and registered Debt Securities may be presented for registration of transfer in the manner set forth in the Indenture and in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, without service charges. We may, however, require payment sufficient to cover any taxes or other governmental charges due in connection with the exchange or transfer. We will appoint a trustee as security registrar.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the holders of the Debt Securities will not be afforded protection under the Indenture in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or a change in control of the Company, except in certain specified circumstances.

We may issue Debt Securities under the Indenture bearing no interest or interest at a rate below the prevailing market rate at the time of issuance and, in such circumstances, we will offer and sell those Securities at a discount below their stated principal amount. We will describe in the applicable Prospectus Supplement any material Canadian and U.S. federal income tax consequences and other special considerations.

Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries will be subject to any financial covenants under the Indenture. In addition, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries will be restricted under the Indenture from paying dividends, incurring debt, or issuing or repurchasing its securities.

As further described in any Prospectus Supplement, any Debt Securities issued by us may be secured or unsecured obligations of the Company and may be senior or subordinate debt. As of the date of this Prospectus, we and our subsidiaries had no outstanding indebtedness, other than intercompany indebtedness, trade payables, debentures in the aggregate principal amount of Cdn$22,000,000, and a loan payable to Johnson County, Wyoming in the amount of $15,622,817.

We may issue Debt Securities and incur additional indebtedness otherwise than through the offering of any Debt Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable Prospectus Supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the Units that we may offer under this Prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any Units that we may offer under this Prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of Units in more detail in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The terms of any Units offered under a Prospectus Supplement may differ from the terms described below.

We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement (which we refer to herein as the “ Unit Agreement ”), if any, between us and a unit agent (which we refer to herein as the “ Unit Agent ”) that describes the terms and conditions of the series of Units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of Units. The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the Units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Unit Agreement, if any, and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of Units. We urge you to read the applicable Prospectus Supplements related to the particular series of Units that we sell under this Prospectus, as well as the complete Unit Agreement, if any, and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the Units.

General

We may issue Units comprising one or more Common Shares, Warrants, Rights, Preferred Shares, Subscription Receipts or Debt Securities, in any combination. Each Unit will be issued so that the holder of the Unit is also the holder of each security included in the Unit. Thus, the holder of a Unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. Units may be issued under a Unit Agreement. Any Unit Agreement under which a Unit may be issued may provide that the securities included in the Unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

We will describe in the applicable Prospectus Supplement the terms of the series of Units, including:

the designation and terms of the Units and of the securities comprising the Units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

the provisions of any governing Unit Agreement;

material United States and Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning, exercising, and disposing of the Units; and

any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the Units or of the securities comprising the Units.

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Common Shares”, “Description of Warrants”, “Description of Rights”, “Description of Subscription Receipts”, “Description of Preferred Shares” and “Description of Debt Securities”, will apply to each Unit and to any Common Share, Warrant Right, Preferred Share, Subscription Receipt or Debt Security included in each Unit, respectively.

Issuance in Series

We may issue Units in such amounts and in numerous distinct series as we determine.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

General

We may offer and sell the Securities, separately or together: (a) to one or more underwriters or dealers; (b) through one or more agents; or (c) directly to one or more other purchasers. The Securities offered pursuant to any Prospectus Supplement may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at: (i) a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time; (ii) market prices prevailing at the time of sale; (iii) prices related to such prevailing market prices; or (iv) other negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” distributions, including sales made directly on the TSX, NYSE MKT or other existing trading markets for the securities. We may only offer and sell the Securities pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement during the period that this Prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains effective. The Prospectus Supplement for any of the Securities being offered thereby will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the type of Security(ies) being offered, the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price of such Securities, the proceeds or consideration to us from such sale, any underwriting commissions or discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers. Only underwriters so named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with the Securities offered thereby.

18


By Underwriters

If underwriters are used in the sale, the Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Unless otherwise set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto, the obligations of underwriters to purchase the Securities will be subject to certain conditions, but the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the Securities offered by the Prospectus Supplement if any of such Securities are purchased. We may offer the Securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. We may agree to pay the underwriters a fee or commission for various services relating to the offering of any Securities. Any such fee or commission will be paid out of our general corporate funds. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the Prospectus Supplement, naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship.

By Dealers

If dealers are used, and if so specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, we will sell such Securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell such Securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealers at the time of resale. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. We will set forth the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

By Agents

The Securities may also be sold through agents designated by us. Any agent involved will be named, and any fees or commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth, in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Any such fees or commissions will be paid out of our general corporate funds. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

Direct Sales

Securities may also be sold directly by us at such prices and upon such terms as agreed to by us and the purchaser. In this case, no underwriters, dealers or agents may be involved in the offering.

General Information

Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the Securities offered by this Prospectus may be deemed underwriters under the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on their resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

Underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under Canadian provincial and territorial and United States securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers or agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this Prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable Prospectus Supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third parties may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third parties in such sale transactions will be identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

19


One or more firms, referred to as “remarketing firms,” may also offer or sell the Securities, if the Prospectus Supplement so indicates, in connection with a remarketing arrangement upon their purchase. Remarketing firms will act as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. These remarketing firms will offer or sell the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities. The Prospectus Supplement will identify any remarketing firm and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and will describe the remarketing firm’s compensation. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the Securities they remarket.

In connection with any offering of Securities, underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

Our registrar and transfer agent for our Common Shares is CST Trust Company at its principal offices in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
