NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY MAY 25, 2023

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT CHAIR

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS,

On behalf of Energy Fuels' Board of Directors, I am pleased to invite you to the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders, to be held on May 25, 2023 by way of a live audio webcast with integrated slides and real-time balloting. Our Proxy Statement, which you will find starting on page 3, offers useful information regarding this year's items of business, as well as details on how to attend and participate in the virtual meeting and how to cast your vote by proxy or virtually during the meeting.

As we had hoped, 2022 was a big year for Energy Fuels! We are excited to update you on our promising new initiatives, as well as some significant developments at our existing projects. In order to meaningfully engage with our global shareholder base directly during our annual meeting of shareholders, while minimizing the need for travel and undue expense, we are pleased to again hold our 2023 annual meeting of shareholders virtually and to share with you our vision for the Company as we take one step closer toward making our White Mesa Mill (the "Mill") the U.S.-based critical minerals hub.

WHO WE ARE

Energy Fuels responsibly produces several of the raw materials needed for clean energy and advanced technologies, including uranium, rare earth elements ("REEs") and vanadium, and has been the leading U.S. producer of both uranium and vanadium since 2017. In fact, from 2006 to date, our assets have produced approximately 32% of all U.S. uranium produced during that period. Through all of our endeavors, we remain dedicated to the production of uranium as our primary product, as it ultimately becomes the fuel for clean, carbon-free nuclear energy, which is critical to meaningfully combatting climate change.

Our Mill, the only fully licensed and operating conventional uranium mill in the United States today, is uniquely equipped to accept radioactive ores (such as monazite sands, which have often been treated by other industries as a waste product due to their hard-to-handle radioactive properties) for processing for their uranium and other mineral content. Because of this, we are additionally able to make REE and vanadium products sourced from uranium-bearing ore in order to supply the raw materials used to make several clean energy technologies possible, including electric vehicles, grid-scale batteries and renewable energy technologies.

Thus, it is the very heart of our business - uranium - that makes it possible for us to diversify even further and meaningfully contribute to multiple green technologies, be it through our promising new commercial REE business, where we continue to make significant strides, or through the potential recovery of radioisotopes from our existing uranium process streams needed for emerging targeted alpha therapy ("TAT") cancer therapeutics.

In addition to being highly regulated with facilities constructed and operated to rigorous standards designed to ensure public health, safety and protection of the environment, we also have internal procedures in place that are designed to ensure we actually exceed those standards to the fullest extent reasonably achievable. It is our record on safety, as well as our contributions to environmental sustainability and our efforts in helping medical advancements succeed, that make us who we are - a proud, modern energy source company working to improve lives through conscientious corporate governance.

Indeed, on the uranium front, we successfully entered into four uranium sale and purchase agreements in 2022: three with major U.S. nuclear utilities and a fourth with the U.S. Department of Energy for its newly established Uranium Reserve. Under these contracts, we expect to sell 560,000 pounds of U₃O₈ during 2023 with an expected weighted-average sales price of $58-$60 per pound, subject to then-prevailing market prices at the time of delivery. The three utility contracts require deliveries of uranium between 2023 and 2030, with base quantities totaling 3.0 million pounds of uranium over the period, and up to 4.1 million pounds of uranium if all remaining options are exercised.

Based on these realized uranium sales agreements and favorable market conditions during the year, we recommenced rehabilitation and development work at the Whirlwind, La Sal, Beaver and Pinyon Plain mines in 2022 in anticipation of a future ramp-up into production at one or more of these mines, which could occur as soon as this year, depending on current contract requirements, inventory levels, sustained improvements in general market conditions, and the procurement of additional suitable sales contracts and/or the expansion of the U.S. Uranium Reserve Program. And, to provide us with additional flexibility to fulfill contract obligations and to gain direct exposure to potential future uranium price increases, we recently purchased a total of 301,052 pounds of U.S. origin uranium on the spot market for a weighted-average gross price of approximately $50.08 per pound. All these efforts keep us firmly rooted in the heart of our business.

Over the years, Energy Fuels has consolidated what we believe are some of the best critical mineral properties in the U.S. We have become a leader in U.S. uranium production thanks to thoughtful strategies designed to boost future production scalability, reduce production costs, increase resource holdings, and provide opportunities for cash-flow diversification. Our portfolio is truly unique, featuring more production capacity, licensed mines and processing facilities, and in-ground uranium resources than any other U.S. producer. Having this broad asset base allows us to focus on our higher priority projects while maintaining the ability to monetize some or our lower priority projects as opportunities may arise. To this end, on February 15, 2023, we announced the successful closing of the sale of our Alta Mesa in situ recovery ("ISR") project, which we acquired in 2016 for approximately $12.7 million, to enCore Energy Corp. ("enCore") for total consideration of $120 million, comprised of $60 million in cash and $60 million in a secured convertible note bearing interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, convertible into common shares of enCore at a price of $2.9103 per share. This sale provides us with significant additional cash and working capital, enabling us to focus our full attention on our higher priority uranium and REE projects, while avoiding dilution to you - our shareholders.

On the REE front, we are pushing ahead in our effort to establish a fully integrated domestic REE supply chain with other industry partners, having hit the ground running when we ramped up to commercial production of a mixed REE carbonate ("RE Carbonate") as a byproduct of our uranium recovery process in 2021. This resulted in the production and sale of commercial quantities of RE Carbonate in 2021 and 2022. We plan to continue our RE Carbonate sales in 2023 and are currently undertaking enhancements and modifications to existing circuits at the Mill for the planned commercial separation of neodymium-praseodymium ("NdPr") oxide from our RE Carbonate for sale in 2024, while at the same time producing a "heavies" (Sm+) RE Carbonate for sale in 2024.

In addition, on May 19, 2022, we announced that we had entered into binding agreements to acquire the Bahia Project in the State of Bahia, Brazil consisting of 17 mineral concessions totaling approximately 37,300 acres or 58.3 square miles (featured in the photo, above). The Company's wholly owned subsidiary Energy Fuels Brazil Ltda. completed the acquisition of the Bahia Project on February 10, 2023, making Energy Fuels the owner of the Bahia Project, which represents the first wholly owned in-ground source of monazite for the Company's REE processing initiatives at the Mill. The primary minerals associated with the Bahia Project are ilmenite, rutile, zircon and monazite. This year, we plan to initiate permitting activities, finish Phase I of our exploration drilling (to 2,250 meters) and initiate Phase II of our exploration drilling at the Bahia Project. All of this is to say, it is full steam ahead on REEs as well as uranium!

Beyond uranium and REEs, Energy Fuels is also the largest conventional producer of vanadium in the U.S. We produce vanadium as market conditions warrant. We have significant high-grade vanadium resources in several of our uranium mines near the Colorado-Utah border, along with a separate high-purity vanadium production circuit at the Mill. Vanadium, which today is mainly used in the steel, aerospace, and chemical industries, also contributes to environmental sustainability, as this critical mineral is seeing considerable interest in next generation, grid-scale batteries that store energy generated from renewable and other sources. Notably, our 1.8 million pounds of 2019 vanadium production came from tailings recycled at the Mill, meaning that no additional mining was required in order to obtain this finite resource. Moreover, as a result of strengthening vanadium markets in 2022, we sold approximately 642,000 pounds of our existing inventory of V₂O₅ (as FeV) at a net weighted average price of $13.67 per pound of V₂O₅, allowing us to realize the benefit of those 2019 efforts.

Notably, vanadium and REEs are considered "critical minerals" by the U.S. government due to their importance to critical clean energy and technology industries in the U.S. and to U.S. national security interests. Uranium is likewise critical to these functions. We intend to further each of these complementary businesses as we work to advance our position as a "Critical Minerals Hub" for the U.S.

We also remain engaged in a strategic alliance with a technology company in an effort to close critical gaps in the procurement of medical isotopes for TAT cancer therapeutics. Under this strategic alliance, we are evaluating the feasibility of potentially recovering Ra-228 and Ra-226 from our uranium process streams at the Mill. Recovered Ra-228 and Ra-226 would then be sold to pharmaceutical companies and others to produce Pb-212, Ac-225, Bi-213, Ra-224 and/or Ra-223, which are the leading medically attractive TAT isotopes for the treatment of cancer. Existing supplies of these isotopes for TAT applications are in short supply, and methods of production are costly and currently cannot be scaled to meet the demand created as new therapeutics are developed and tested. This is a major roadblock in the research and development of new TAT drugs as pharmaceutical companies wait for scalable and affordable production technologies to become available. Under this initiative, we have the potential to recycle from our existing process streams valuable isotopes, which would otherwise be lost to disposal, for use in treating cancer.

We demonstrate our commitment to environmental protection, not only through extensive environmental monitoring and compliance, but also through our uranium and vanadium recycling programs. In addition to producing uranium from our mines, we recycle other companies' uranium-bearing materials (known as alternate feed materials) for the extraction of uranium that would otherwise be lost to disposal. In 2019, for the first time, we produced high-purity vanadium product by recycling existing tailings solutions at the Mill. We encourage you to read our comprehensive Sustainability Report, as well as our corporate policies on corporate governance and social and environmental responsibility. These documents, which are available on our corporate website under "Governance" (https://www.energyfuels.com/governance), provide detailed information on our expansive environmental and safety initiatives, and describe in detail the tangible ways we are helping to address some of the world's most pressing environmental problems.

As a Board, we strive to achieve the highest levels of accountability and sound corporate governance practices pursuant to the Company's Core Values. These Core Values are the foundational pillars on which everything we do is built, and we believe that they are essential for the long-term success of Energy Fuels and for maximizing shareholder value.

CORE VALUES

In every facet of our business, our core values are:

iii

a) Environmental Stewardship

Safety, health and protection of the environment are of paramount importance to Energy Fuels. We are committed to the highest standards of corporate responsibility and environmental protection. We operate our facilities in a manner that puts the safety of our workers, contractors, communities, environment, and principles of sustainable development above all else. Whenever issues of safety conflict with other corporate objectives, safety shall be the first consideration.

b) Social Responsibility

Energy Fuels recognizes that it is a guest in the local communities in which it operates and takes its role as a corporate member of those communities very seriously. We support local businesses, purchasing locally when feasible, and have established the San Juan County Clean Energy Foundation to focus specifically on local economic development in the communities around the Mill. We value building lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with our neighbors because the success of our Company is predicated on our acceptance in, and the viability of, our local communities.

c) Governance

Energy Fuels is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and practice with strict adherence to applicable laws and regulations. We review our practices on a regular basis to ensure that our standards are up-to-date and in compliance with the industry's evolving rules, regulations, and best practices, including:

• Majority Director independence;

• Strong Board composition and increased diversity;

• Ethical business conduct;

• Proper trading practices; and

• Financial, mining and environmental sustainability expertise.

d) U.S. National & Economic Security

Recent changes in geopolitical dynamics have highlighted the critical need for domestic sources of uranium, vanadium and REEs. Energy Fuel's Mill is the only operating uranium mill in the U.S., the only primary production facility for vanadium in the U.S., and the only production facility for RE Carbonate from monazite sands and potentially other downstream, value-added REE products. It is also potentially the only commercial facility in the U.S. capable of producing radioisotopes for life-changing emerging TAT cancer therapeutics. The U.S. government currently classifies vanadium and REEs as critical minerals, while uranium has been considered such in the recent past, creating opportunities for Energy Fuels to support national critical mineral needs through a number of means, including potentially pursuant to the Defense Production Act. Energy Fuels is proud to provide these critical resources in support of U.S. national security objectives, and we strive, to the extent practicable, to maintain and operate our facilities in a manner consistent with those objectives.

These continued efforts made pursuant to our strong core values truly set us apart from others in the industry. Your input as a shareholder is greatly valued, and we urge you to take the time to participate in this year's Meeting and vote. The Board of Directors and I thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

/s/ J. Birks Bovaird

PROXY STATEMENT

The information contained in this Proxy Statement ("Proxy Statement") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be used at the annual meeting of shareholders of Energy Fuels Inc. (the "Company") to be held by way of a live audio webcast through the Lumi/AST Virtual AGM platform (the "Virtual Platform") at https://web.lumiagm.com/255057223, password "ef2023" (case-sensitive), on Thursday, May 25, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. (MDT) (the "Meeting"), and at all adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

In order to make the Meeting as convenient and resource efficient as possible for its shareholders, the Company will again be hosting an entirely virtual annual meeting of shareholders in 2023.

The Meeting will be conducted solely as a virtual meeting of shareholders via a live audio webcast through the Virtual Platform. You can attend the Meeting online at https://web.lumiagm.com/255057223 by clicking "I have a control number" and entering your unique 11-digit control number located on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice"), followed by the password "ef2023" (case-sensitive). You will have the ability to submit questions during the Meeting via the Virtual Platform. See "Instructions for the Meeting," below. It is expected that the solicitation will be made primarily by mail on or about April 13, 2023, but proxies may also be solicited personally by directors, officers or regular employees of the Company. The solicitation of proxies by this Proxy Statement is being made by or on behalf of the management of the Company. The total cost of the solicitation will be borne by the Company.

Except as otherwise indicated, information in this Proxy Statement is given as of April 4, 2023 and all dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement are officers and/or directors of the Company ("Management Nominees"). A shareholder of the Company has the right to appoint a person other than the persons specified in such proxy card and who need not be a shareholder of the Company to attend and act for the shareholder and on the shareholder's behalf at the meeting. Such right may be exercised by striking out the names of the persons specified in the proxy, inserting the name of the person to be appointed in the blank space provided in the proxy, signing the proxy and returning it in the reply envelope in the manner set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

Registered shareholders who wish to appoint a person other than the Management Nominees identified in the form of proxy card or voting instruction form (including non-registered shareholders who wishes to appoint themselves to attend the Meeting) must carefully follow the instructions in this Proxy Statement and on their form of proxy card or voting instruction form; the shareholder's control number should be provided to the proxyholder in advance, as it is required in order to vote at the Meeting. Failure to obtain such control number from the registered shareholder will make it impossible to participate in the Meeting and will result in the proxyholder only being able to attend as a guest. Guests will be able to listen and submit written questions to the Meeting but will not be able to vote. A shareholder of the Company who has given a proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing, including another completed proxy card, executed by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney authorized in writing, deposited at the registered office of the Company, or at the offices of AST by mail to 6201 15^th Ave., Brooklyn, New York 11219 or by fax to 1-718-765-8730 or by email to proxyvote@astfinancial.com, or by telephone to 1-888-776-9347, or by internet voting through www.voteproxy.com, up to 12:00 p.m. (noon) (EDT) on the second business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof.

VOTING OF SHARES REPRESENTED BY MANAGEMENT PROXIES

The Management Nominees named in the enclosed proxy card will vote the common shares in respect of which they are appointed by proxy on any ballot that may be called for in accordance with the instructions thereon. If a shareholder of the Company specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of such instructions, such shares will be voted in favor of each of the matters referred to herein.

The enclosed proxy card confers discretionary authority upon the Management Nominees named therein with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters, if any, which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Proxy Statement, the management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgement of the named proxy holder.

VOTING BY NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

Only registered shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, common shares owned by a person (a "non-registered owner") are registered either (a) in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the non-registered owner deals with in respect of the common shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered registered savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited in Canada ("CDS"), or The Depository Trust Company in the United States) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

In accordance with applicable laws, non-registered owners who have advised their Intermediary that they do not object to the Intermediary providing their ownership information to issuers whose securities they beneficially own ("Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners," or "NOBOs") will receive by mail a letter from the Company with respect to the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy. This Proxy Statement and the Notice of Meeting may be found at and downloaded from http://www.astproxyportal.com/ast/23865/.

NOBOs who have standing instructions with the Intermediary for physical copies of this Proxy Statement will receive by mail the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy, this Proxy Statement and the Notice of Meeting.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy to non-registered owners who have advised their Intermediary that they object to the Intermediary providing their ownership information ("Objecting Beneficial Owners," or "OBOs") unless an OBO has waived the right to receive them. Often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward proxy-related materials to OBOs. Generally, OBOs who have not waived the right to receive proxy-related materials will either:

(a) be given a proxy card which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number and class of securities beneficially owned by the OBO but which is not otherwise completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the proxy card, this proxy card is not required to be signed by the non-registered owner when submitting the proxy. In this case, the OBO who wishes to vote by proxy should otherwise properly complete the proxy card and deliver it as specified; or

(b) be given a Voting Instruction Form which the Intermediary must follow. The OBO should properly complete and sign the Voting Instruction Form and submit it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit non-registered owners to direct the voting of the common shares they beneficially own. Should a non-registered owner who receives either proxy card wish to vote at the Meeting if a ballot is called, the non-registered owner should strike out the persons named in the proxy card and insert the non-registered owner's name in the blank space provided. Non-registered owners should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary including those regarding when and where the proxy card or Voting Instruction Form is to be delivered.

Management of the Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy to OBOs. An OBO will not receive the Notice and Access Package unless the Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

BROKER NON-VOTES

In the United States, brokers and other intermediaries holding shares in street name for their customers are generally required to vote the shares in the manner directed by their customers. If their customers do not give any direction, brokers may vote the securities at their discretion on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. Other than the proposal for the appointment of KPMG LLP as our auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, all of the other matters to be voted on at the Meeting are non-routine matters and brokers may not vote the securities held in street name for their customers in relation to these items of business without direction from their customers.

The absence of a vote on a non-routine matter is referred to as a broker non-vote. Any securities represented at the Meeting but not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have no impact in the election of directors or any other matter to be voted on at the Meeting, except to the extent that the failure to vote for an individual nominee results in another individual receiving a larger proportion of votes cast for the election of directors. For purposes of the Company's majority voting policy, a broker non-vote is not considered to be a vote withheld.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MEETING

Once again, this year's Meeting will be in a completely virtual format. There will be no physical Meeting location. The Meeting will be conducted by way of a live audio webcast through the Virtual Platform with integrated slides and real-time balloting.

Instructions on Voting at the Meeting:

Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to attend the Meeting and vote in real time, provided they are connected to the internet and follow the instructions in this Proxy Statement. Non-registered shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend the Meeting as guests but will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

Registered shareholders who wish to appoint a person other than the Management Nominees identified in the proxy card or voting instruction form (including non-registered shareholders who wish to appoint themselves to attend the Meeting) must carefully follow the instructions in this Proxy Statement and on their proxy card or voting instruction form; the shareholder's control number should be provided to the proxyholder in advance, as it is required in order to vote at the Meeting. Failure to obtain such control number from the registered shareholder will make it impossible to participate in the Meeting and will result in the proxyholder only being able to attend as a guest. Guests will be able to listen to and submit written questions in the Meeting but will not be able to vote.

How to Vote:

You have two ways to vote your shares:

• by submitting your proxy card or other voting instruction form as per instructions indicated; or

• during the Meeting by online ballot, when called for, through the Virtual Platform.

Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including non-registered shareholders who have duly appointed themselves as proxyholder) that attend the Meeting online will be able to vote by completing a ballot online, when called for, during the Meeting through the Virtual Platform.

Guests (including non-registered shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder) can log into the Meeting as set out below. Guests will be able to listen and submit written questions to the Meeting but will not be able to vote during the Meeting.

To Access and Vote at the Meeting:

• Step 1: Log into the Virtual Platform online at https://web.lumiagm.com/255057223

• Step 2: Follow these instructions:

Registered shareholders: Click "I have a control number" and then enter your unique 11-digit control number and password "ef2023" (case-sensitive). The 11-digit number located on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials received from AST is your control number. If you use your control number to log into the Meeting, any vote you cast at the Meeting will revoke any proxy you previously submitted. If you do not wish to revoke a previously submitted proxy, you should not vote during the Meeting.

Duly appointed proxyholders: Click "I have a control number" and then enter your unique 11-digit control number and the password "ef2023" (case sensitive). Proxyholders who have been duly appointed should ensure they receive the registered shareholder's control number in advance, as it is required in order to vote at the Meeting.

Guests: Click "Guest" and then complete the online form.

It is your responsibility to ensure internet connectivity for the duration of the Meeting and you should allow ample time to log into the Virtual Platform before the Meeting begins.

Non-Registered Shareholders Obtaining a Control Number to Vote During the Meeting:

If your shares are registered in the name of your broker, you are a non-registered shareholder (or "Beneficial Owner") of those shares, which are considered to be held in "street name." If you are a Beneficial Owner, you should have received a proxy card and voting instruction form from your broker rather than directly from the Company. Simply complete and mail the proxy card as instructed by your broker to ensure that your vote is counted. If your broker offers Internet or telephone voting, you may vote your shares using one of those methods.

To vote instead at the Meeting, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker and register in advance with AST in order to get your unique 11-digit control number. Contact your broker to request a legal proxy. To register to participate in the Meeting, you must submit to AST proof of your legal proxy from your broker reflecting the number of your shares, along with your name and email address.

Requests for registration should be directed to proxy@astfinancial.com or to facsimile number 1-718-765-8730.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

Proposal 1 - Election of Directors

Pursuant to the articles of the Company, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") may consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of fifteen directors, who are elected annually. The Board is currently composed of ten directors, and management is proposing that ten directors be elected at the Meeting.

The Company has adopted an advance notice requirement in its by-laws for nominations of directors by shareholders. Among other things, the advance notice requirement fixes a deadline by which shareholders must submit to the Company a notice of director nominations prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice for it to be valid. As of the date hereof, the Company has not received notice of any director nominations in connection with the Meeting. As the date to receive notice for a director nomination has passed, no director nominations may be made other than those set out in this Proxy Statement.

Shareholders will vote for the election of each individual director separately. The Company has adopted a majority voting policy for the election of directors whereby, in an uncontested election, any nominee who receives a greater number of shares withheld from voting than shares voted in favor of that nominee's election is expected to tender his, her or their resignation to the Board, to take effect upon acceptance by the Board. The Board will, within 90 days of the Meeting, determine whether to accept any such offer to resign, and such resignation will be accepted other than in extraordinary circumstances.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which the Company's security holders may recommend nominees to the Board since the Company's last Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The following table provides the names of and information for the nominees for election as directors of the Company (collectively the "Nominees," and each a "Nominee"). The persons named in the enclosed proxy card intend to vote "FOR" the election of each of the Nominees. Management does not contemplate that any of the Nominees will be unable to serve as a director. All directors so elected will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed unless their office is vacated earlier in accordance with the by-laws of the Company or the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) ("OBCA"). Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each nominee in the table set forth below is: care of Energy Fuels Inc., 225 Union Blvd., Suite 600, Lakewood, Colorado 80228 USA.

Director Participation on Other Boards

A number of the Company's Directors and proposed Nominees sit on boards of directors of other companies. The Company considers this to be a benefit to the Company, provided there are no significant conflicts of interest, and the Director and proposed Nominee is able to devote the time and attention to his or her duties on the Board and any Board committees on which the Director sits (i.e., is not "overcommitted"). The Company believes sitting on boards of directors of other companies provides the Director and proposed Nominee with a broader spectrum of experiences relating to industry-specific and corporate governance matters. None of the Company's Directors and proposed Nominees sit on more than five public company boards or, alternatively, are CEOs of public companies who also sit on the boards of more than two public companies besides their own.

Cease Trade Orders, Bankruptcies and Legal Proceedings

The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings against it involving the Nominees, executive officers or shareholders of more than 5% of the Company's voting shares. Except as set out below, to the knowledge of the Company, no Nominee is, or has been in the last 10 years, (a) a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of a company that (i) while that person was acting in that capacity, was the subject of a cease trade order or similar order (including a management cease trade order) or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemptions under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, or (ii) after that person ceased to act in that capacity, was the subject of a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the issuer access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, which resulted from an event that occurred while that person acted in such capacity, or (b) a director or executive officer of a company that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or (c) became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or became subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold his or her assets.

On November 18, 2020, General Moly Inc. filed for voluntary protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado to pursue a financial and operational reorganization, in addition to other customary motions in conjunction therewith. At the time, Mr. Hansen was serving as its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and as a director. In connection with the filing, General Moly Inc. executed a Restructuring Support Agreement, and emerged out of bankruptcy with a final decree issued in September 2021. It thereafter merged with Avanti Kisualt Mining Limited, a Canadian company, to form the private company New Moly LLC. Effective upon the Chapter 11 filing, Mr. Hansen resigned as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and as a director of General Moly Inc. but was later elected as a director of New Moly LLC and currently serves in that capacity.

No Nominee or officer of the Company is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Unless noted above, during the past ten years, no Nominee or executive officer of the Company has:

(1) LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning, and the + refers to other categories of sexual orientation or gender identity not explicitly mentioned (other than cisgender). While certain categories of LGBTQ+ fall within gender identity, many do not and are therefore included more generally with the other diversity categories. In total, 0% (0/10) of the Company's existing and nominated Directors self-identify as non-binary, and 10% (1/10) of existing and nominated Directors self-identify as racially or ethnically diverse in accordance with the categories identified, above.

The Company remains committed to diversity. In 2021, upon the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee (the "GN Committee"), the Board resolved: to maintain its measurable objective of having at least one qualified woman on the Board at all time; to continue taking proactive steps to attempt to identify suitable female and minority candidates to be considered for future appointments to the Board and the Executive Team, as appropriate; to set a formal target to increase the number of women on the Board to two at or prior to the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company; and to set a formal target to add a racially or ethnically diverse member to the Board at or prior to the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company. Most recently, in January 2023, the GN Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved and adopted, a number of diversity-based recommendations that include maintaining its measurable objectives of having, at current Board size, a qualified Board that is at least 30% gender diverse (including a minimum of one woman) at all times with at least one qualified racially or ethnically diverse director on the Board at all times. The Board is proud to have met these commitments through its selection of highly qualified individuals, all of whom were selected first and foremost for their ability to contribute meaningfully to the Company through unique skill sets that complement the existing Board expertise.

Proposal 2 - Appointment of Auditors

Management of the Company has proposed the appointment of KPMG LLP of Denver, Colorado ("KPMG"), an independent registered public accounting firm, as the auditors of the Company to hold that position until the close of the next annual meeting of the Company or until a successor is appointed. It is proposed that the remuneration to be paid to the auditors be fixed by the Board through the Audit Committee.

The persons named in the proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement intend to vote "FOR" the reappointment of KPMG as the auditors of the Company for the ensuing year or until their successors are appointed and to authorize the directors of the Company to fix the remuneration of the auditors, unless the shareholder has specified in the proxy card that the Common Shares represented by such proxy are to be withheld from voting in respect thereof. The Company expects that a representative of KPMG will be present at the Meeting and will be available to answer questions.

Proposal 3 - Non-Binding Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation ("Say-on-Pay")

Background

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including without limitation Rule 14a-21(a)), the Company's shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to vote, on a non-binding advisory basis, on the compensation of the Company's Named Executive Officers ("NEOs") (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Say-on-Pay Proposal").

The vote on the Say-on-Pay Proposal gives the Company's shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation paid to the NEOs. The vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. You are urged to read carefully the "Executive Compensation" section of this proxy statement, including the Summary Compensation Table below and other related compensation tables and narrative disclosure, for details regarding the compensation paid to the NEOs during fiscal year 2022 and other information with respect to their compensation for services on behalf of the Company.

The Board believes that the Company's compensation program for its executive officers, including the NEOs, is appropriate based upon the Company's performance, the performance and level of responsibility of each NEO and the market generally with respect to executive officer compensation. The Board also believes that the Company's executive compensation program, which for the Company's senior executive officers (the (i) President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), (ii) Executive Vice President ("Executive VP"), Chief Legal Officer ("CLO") and Corporate Secretary, (iii) Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), (iv) Chief Operating Officer ("COO") and Senior Vice President ("Senior VP"), Marketing and Corporate Affairs (the "Senior Executive Officers")) includes annual evaluations under a Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") and Short-Term Incentive Plan ("STIP"), aligns the interests of the Corporation's Senior Executive Officers with those of the Company's shareholders by compensating the Senior Executive Officers in a manner designed to advance both the short-and long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Say-on-Pay Vote Recommendation

After careful consideration, the Board recommends a vote "FOR" the compensation of the NEOs by approving the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED."

Shareholders may vote for, against, or abstain from voting on the Say-on-Pay Proposal. The compensation of the NEOs in connection with the Say-on-Pay Proposal will be approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's Common Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions will effectively count as votes against the Say-on-Pay Proposal. Failures to vote will also effectively count as votes against the Say-on-Pay Proposal.

The vote on the Say-on-Pay Proposal is advisory only and will not be binding upon the Company or its Board or Compensation Committee. However, the Board and Compensation Committee take seriously shareholders' preferences as expressed in their votes and will consider the outcome of the vote in connection with future executive compensation arrangements.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Governance

The Company's Compensation Committee is made up of four directors -- Benjamin Eshleman III, Bruce D. Hansen, Jaqueline Herrera and Robert W. Kirkwood (Chair), each of whom is independent pursuant to Section 805(c) of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide (the "NYSE Guide") and pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. Each of Ms. Herrera and Messrs. Eshleman, Hansen, and Kirkwood has direct educational and work experience that is relevant to their responsibilities in executive compensation. The Compensation Committee has been delegated the task of reviewing and recommending to the Board, the Company's compensation policies, and reviewing such policies on a periodic basis to ensure they remain current, competitive and consistent with the Company's overall goals.

The Compensation Committee also has the authority and responsibility to review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the CEO, evaluating the CEO's performance in light of those corporate goals and objectives, and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the CEO's compensation level (including salary, incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans) based on this evaluation, as well as making recommendations to the Board with respect to any employment, severance or change of control agreements for the CEO. The ultimate decision relating to the CEO's compensation rests with the Board, taking into consideration the Compensation Committee's recommendations, corporate and individual performance, and industry standards.

The Compensation Committee has also been delegated the task of reviewing and approving for executive officers, other than the CEO, all compensation (including salary, incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans) and any employment, severance or change of control agreements, although the ultimate decision relating to any stock option or other equity grants rests with the Board. The experience of Board and committee members who are also involved as management of, or board members or advisors to, other companies, also factors into decisions concerning compensation.

Base salaries for a year are typically determined in January of that year. Cash bonuses and equity awards for a year are typically based on performance over the entire year and are paid or awarded in January of the following year.

Peer Group used in 2022 Executive Compensation Decisions

In January 2022, for purposes of determining base salaries for 2022, and cash bonus and equity awards for 2021, the Company continued its engagement of the Harlon Group, a compensation consulting company to conduct a compensation study for employees, the executive officers, and the Board, and to provide data on equity incentive practices in the industry for the executive team and the Board. The compensation survey data utilized in the Harlon Group's review was from a benchmark analysis of the following public companies, collectively considered to be a peer group for the Company, utilizing 2020 data from their respective 2021 proxy statements (the information below relating to each of the peer companies is taken from such proxy statements or other publicly available information regarding such companies):

• Paladin Energy Ltd. - (ASX:PDN) - a uranium mining and exploration company with a 75% stake in the globally significant Langer Heinrich mine in Namibia;

• NexGen Energy Ltd. - (NYSE.A:NXE) - a uranium exploration and development company with a portfolio of high-impact projects across the Athabasca Basin, including the significant Arrow Project deposit on the western side of the Basin;

• Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. — (NYSE:NOG) - the largest publicly traded non-operated exploration and production company primarily focused on investing in non-operated minority working and mineral interests in oil and gas properties, with a core area of focus in the premier basins within the U.S.;

• Gulfport Energy Corporation — (NYSE:GPOR) - an independent natural gas-weighted exploration and production company focused on the exploration, acquisition and production of natural gas, crude oil and NGL in the United States with primary focus in the Appalachia and Anadarko basins;

• Peabody Energy Corporation - (NYSE:BTU) - a leading coal producer, providing essential products to fuel baseload electricity for emerging and developed countries and to create the steel needed to build foundational infrastructure;

• Ranger Oil Corporation - (NASDAQ:ROCC) - a pure-play independent oil and gas company engaged in the development and production of oil, NGLs, and natural gas, with operations in the Eagle Ford shale in south Texas, USA;

• CONSOL Energy, Inc. - (NYSE:CEIX) - a publicly owned Canonsburg-based producer and exporter of high-BTU bituminous thermal coal, and one of the leading energy companies in the U.S.;

• Silvercorp Metals, Inc. - (NYSE.A:SVM) - a profitable Canadian mining company producing silver, lead and zinc metals in concentrates from mines in China;

• Crescent Energy - (NYSE:CRGY) - a U.S. independent energy company with a portfolio of assets in key proven basins across the lower 48 states, with a focus on operated oil and gas assets and complemented by non-operated assets, mineral and royalty interests and midstream infrastructure;

• Denison Mines Corp. - (TSX:DML; NYSE American: DNN) - engaged in the exploration and development of uranium deposits, with interests focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Canada;

• Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE:UEC) - engaged in the exploration, extraction, and processing of in-situ uranium projects and titanium projects in the U.S., Canada and Paraguay, including the Hobson processing plant and Palangana, Goliad, and Burke Hollow uranium projects in Texas, USA, the Reno Creek and Willow Creek uranium projects in Wyoming, USA, the Oviedo and Yuty uranium projects in Paraguay, and the Alto Parana titanium project in Paraguay;

• Centrus Energy Corp. - (NYSE.A: LEU) - a supplier of nuclear fuel and services for the nuclear power industry through its supply sources of enriched uranium, with expertise in uranium handling, nuclear fuel design, and criticality;

• Laredo Petroleum, Inc. - (NYSE:LPI) - an independent energy company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties and the gathering of oil and liquids-rich natural gas from its properties, located primarily in the Permian Basin of West Texas, USA; and

• Fission Uranium Corp. - (TSX:FCU; OTCQX:FCUUF) - engaged in the development of the high-grade, near-surface Triple R uranium deposit in the Athabasca Basin uranium district of northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

This peer group (the "January 2022 Peer Group") was chosen to be representative of the pool from which the Company could expect to draw its management talent at the beginning of 2022, based on factors including industry representation, market capitalization, and similar levels of operational activity. Identifying peer companies with similar levels of operational activity, even in commodities other than uranium, was considered to be especially important in light of the fact that the Company has three production centers, including the only operating conventional uranium mill in the United States. Potential peer companies were additionally rated based on their similarity to the Company in the category of primary exchange of public listing of securities (Canada, Australia, USA).

In choosing the January 2022 Peer Group, the Harlon Group presented the Compensation Committee with a comparison of the performance of a broad pool of potential peers in relation to the Company according to product type (uranium, oil and gas, coal and silver/zinc), market capitalization, enterprise value and TSR performance over one, three and five years, including a comparison of the Company's average and median performance to the proposed peer group's average and median performance and a discussion on data outliers. The Compensation Committee members reviewed the data as presented by the Harlon Group, and additionally reviewed the list of potential peers using their own expertise and criteria developed through their experiences in tracking mining industry trends and companies in other metals and uranium, vanadium and coal mining. The resulting peer group was deemed by the Compensation Committee to be the most representative group of the Company's peers for use in making its determinations and recommendations to the Board for executive compensation in January 2022.

The January 2022 Peer Group was used for compensation decisions made in January 2022, which included setting the base salaries for all NEOs for 2022.

Peer Group used in 2023 Executive Compensation Decisions

Cash bonuses earned in 2022 and equity awards for 2022 were determined based on management's performance over 2022, as determined by the Compensation Committee in January 2023. The Compensation Committee retained the Harlon Group to help it reevaluate the Company's peer group to be used in making the Company's January 2023 compensation decisions, taking into account any changes in the Company's market capitalization and other factors since January 2022, using the following primary criteria for selection:

(1) Peer companies were chosen from the Company's 8-digit Global Industrial Classification Standard (GICS) 10102050 Coal and Consumable Fuels and from other related industries (such as 10102020 Oil & Gas Exploration and Production) where appropriate;

(2) Market capitalization was used as the primary classifier, with the peer group having a median market capitalization as close to the Company's market capitalization as practical;

(3) A preference was given to U.S. domestic issuers, but foreign issuers have been included to the extent required to ensure an adequate mix of uranium and, for the first time, lithium companies, as well as producing companies; and

(4) The number of companies included in the Peer Group were to be in a range from 14 to 24.

In addition to the foregoing primary selection criteria, the following additional screening criteria were applied:

• Focus on maintaining consistency in the Company's peer group over time, to the extent appropriate, making adjustments only when necessary to maintain balance in the other criteria or account for unusual circumstances or recent changes to the Company's own market capitalization;

• Eliminate or otherwise adjust for companies that have a disproportionately high enterprise value;

• Eliminate companies that may be in unusual circumstances, such as filing for bankruptcy or privatizing;

• Eliminate companies that have compensation awards based on extraordinary circumstances, such as a recent merger, etc.; and

• Favor hard-rock mining companies over oil and gas and coal companies, to the extent possible.

In choosing the January 2023 Peer Group, the Harlon Group presented the Compensation Committee with a comparison of the performance of a broad pool of potential peers in relation to the Company according to product type (uranium, oil and gas, lithium and silver/zinc), market capitalization, enterprise value and TSR performance over one, three and five years, including a comparison of the Company's average and median performance to the proposed peer group's average and median performance and a discussion on data outliers. The Compensation Committee members reviewed the data as presented by the Harlon Group, and additionally reviewed the list of potential peers using their own expertise and criteria developed through their experiences in tracking mining industry trends and companies in other metals and uranium, vanadium and REE mining and processing. This resulted in the adoption of the following January 2023 Peer Group comprised of the Company and 15 other companies, which represents an average market capitalization of approximately $1.323 billion, with the companies therein having market capitalizations falling within a range of 42% to 222% of the Company's own market capitalization and the Company's own market capitalization ranking eighth out of 16 total companies, having been deemed by the Compensation Committee to be the most representative group of the Company's peers for use in making its determinations and recommendations to the Board for executive compensation in January 2023.

The Company's market capitalization decreased from approximately $1.2 billion in January 2022 to approximately $1.1 billion in February 2023. For purposes of compiling an appropriate peer group for 2022, the Company selected 14 companies representing an average market capitalization of approximately $1.15 billion, with the companies therein having market capitalizations falling within a range of 42% to 210% of the Company's own market capitalization (ranking seventh out of the 15 total companies), thereby capturing a number of both new and historically considered peers.

Based on these primary and additional screening criteria and taking into account the Company's significantly increased market capitalization, for purposes of making the January 2023 compensation decisions, the January 2022 Peer Group remained partially intact with the retention of: Paladin Energy Ltd., NexGen Energy Ltd., Denison Mines Corp., Uranium Energy Corp., Centrus Energy Corp., Laredo Petroleum, Inc., and Fission Uranium Corp.; but supplemented through the addition of: Core Lithium, MAG Silver Corporation, Gulfport Energy Corporation, Ranger Oil Corporation, Standard Lithium, Global Atomic Ltd, Endeavour Silver Corporation, and Silvercorp Metals, Inc., thus resulting in the following 15 companies (the "January 2023 Peer Group"):

• Paladin Energy Ltd. - (ASX:PDN) - a uranium mining and exploration company with a 75% stake in the globally significant Langer Heinrich mine in Namibia;

• Denison Mines Corp. - (TSX:DML; NYSE.A: DNN) - engaged in the exploration and development of uranium deposits, with interests focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Canada;

• Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE:UEC) - engaged in the exploration, extraction, and processing of in-situ uranium projects and titanium projects in the U.S. and Paraguay, including the Hobson processing plant and Palangana, Goliad, and Burke Hollow uranium projects in Texas, USA, the Reno Creek and Willow Creek uranium projects in Wyoming, USA, the Oviedo and Yuty uranium projects in Paraguay, and the Alto Parana titanium project in Paraguay;

• Core Lithium - (ASX:CXO) - engaged in the acquisition, exploration, evaluation and development of copper, gold, uranium and iron ore properties, and headquartered in Adelaide, Australia;

• MAG Silver Corp. - (TSX:MAG; NYSE.A:MAG) - a development and exploration company focused on exploring and advancing high-grade, district scale, silver-dominant projects in the Americas;

• Gulfport Energy Corporation - (NYSE:GPOR) - an independent natural gas-weighting exploration and production company focused on the exploration, acquisition and production of natural gas, crude oil and NGL in the U.S. with a primary focus in the Appalachia and Anadarko basins;

• Ranger Oil Corporation - (NASDAQ:ROCC) - an independent oil and gas company, which engages in the exploration, development and production of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, and headquartered in Houston, Texas USA;

• Standard Lithium Ltd. - (NYSE.A:SLI) - engaged in the testing and proving of the commercial viability of lithium extraction, and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada;

• Global Atomic Corporation - (TSX:GLO; OTCQX:GLATF) - engaged in the provision of a combination of high-grade uranium mine development and cash-flowing zinc concentrate production, and headquartered in Toronto, Canada;

• Endeavour Silver Corporation - (NYSE:EXK; TSX:EDR) - a mining company focused on discovering and mining silver for use in products such as batteries, smart phones, electric vehicles, medical devices and solar panels; and

• Silvercorp Metals Inc. - (NYSE.A:SVM) - a mining company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and mining of mineral properties, and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.

Compensation decisions for Senior Executive Officers (as defined below) in January 2023, based on the January 2023 Peer Group, included: the determination of cash bonus awards earned in 2022 under the Company's STIP for performance in 2022; the determination of restricted stock unit ("RSU") grants for 2022 under the Company's LTIP for performance in 2022 (which will be reported in next year's Proxy Statement as compensation in 2023); as well as the determination of base salaries for 2023 (which will be reported in next year's Proxy Statement as compensation in 2023).

The following table sets forth the fees paid to consultants and advisors related to determining compensation for executive officers and directors for each of the two most recently completed fiscal years. This resulted in the adoption of the above-listed January 2022 Peer Group and January 2023 Peer Group for use in the Company's January 2022 and 2023 compensation decisions (for performance in 2021 and 2022, respectively).

Year	Executive Compensation-Related Fees⁽¹⁾	All Other Fees⁽²⁾
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022	US$8,963	Nil
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021	US$16,793	Nil

Notes:

(1) The aggregate fees billed by each consultant or advisor, or any of its affiliates, for services related to determining compensation for any of the Company's directors or executive officers.

(2) The aggregate fees billed for all other services provided by each consultant or advisor, or any of its affiliates, which are not reported as "Executive Compensation Related Fees."

These fees were paid to the Harlon Group, which was engaged on behalf of and took instructions from the Compensation Committee, not management in connection with the foregoing services. There were no conflicts of interest between the Compensation Committee and the Harlon Group identified during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, nor during any time in 2021 or to date in 2023 where discussions related to compensation decisions were held.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No person who served as a member of the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was a current or former officer or employee of the Company or engaged in certain transactions with the Company required to be disclosed by regulations of the SEC. Additionally, there were no Compensation Committee "interlocks" during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, nor during any time in 2021 or to date in 2023, which generally means that no executive officer of the Company served as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity, which had an executive officer serving as a director or member of the Compensation Committee.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Objectives of the Compensation Program

The objectives of the Company's compensation programs are to attract and retain the best possible executives having the expertise required for the uranium mining industry, and to motivate the executives to achieve goals consistent with the Company's business strategy, including with particularity the guiding principle of increasing shareholder value. The compensation program is designed to reward executives for achieving these goals, while providing continued incentives to develop rigorous new goals annually, to the extent market conditions allow in a volatile market driven primarily by commodity prices.

The Company's compensation practices are intended to be competitive with those of its peers, and thus are designed to account for individual successes and failures within corporate management, so as to create accountability within the Company's executive team and provide an external metric against which its senior executives can gauge the quality and appropriateness of their decisions. During fiscal year 2022, the three key elements used to compensate the executive officers of the Company were: (i) base salary; (ii) cash bonuses; and (iii) long-term incentives in the form of equity awards.

The Company had five NEOs over the course of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022:

Name	Title (Current)
Mark S. Chalmers	President and CEO
David C. Frydenlund⁽¹⁾	Executive VP, CLO and Corporate Secretary
Tom L. Brock⁽²⁾	CFO
John L. Uhrie⁽³⁾	COO
Curtis H. Moore⁽⁴⁾	Senior Vice President ("Senior VP"), Marketing and Corporate Development

Notes:

(1) Mr. Frydenlund ceased to be the Company's CFO and General Counsel and assumed his appointment as the Company's Executive VP, CLO and Corporate Secretary effective August 8, 2022.

(2) Mr. Brock was appointed to serve as the Company's CFO effective August 8, 2022.

(3) Mr. Uhrie was appointed to serve as the Company's COO effective August 1, 2022.

(4) Mr. Moore was appointed to serve as the Company's Senior VP, Marketing and Corporate Development on January 25, 2023. Prior thereto he served as the Company's VP, Marketing and Corporate Development.

All NEOs are considered Senior Executive Officers of the Company.

Determination of Compensation

Base Salaries

Base salary is a fixed component of pay that compensates executives for fulfilling their roles and responsibilities and aids in attracting and retaining qualified executives.

Base compensation for the CEO is generally fixed by the Board on an annual basis at its regularly scheduled meeting in January for application in that year, based on recommendations from the Compensation Committee. In making its recommendations to the Board, the Compensation Committee evaluates those levels of compensation reported by the Company's current peer group approved by the Compensation Committee. Generally, base salary for the CEO is set relative to the base salaries paid to other CEOs in the current peer group; however, the Board, in its discretion, may also take into account any additional recommendations of the Compensation Committee, as well as the Board's own assessment of the performance of the Company overall, the Company's specific projects and the CEO's individual contribution to both in addition to any other factors or considerations deemed relevant.

Base compensation for the NEOs, other than the CEO, is generally fixed by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis at its regularly scheduled meeting in January for application in that year. As with the base salary for the CEO, base salaries for the NEOs, other than the CEO, are set relative to the levels of compensation reported by the Company's current peer group approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may also take into account its assessment of the performance of the Company overall, the Company's specific projects and the particular individual's contributions to that performance.

Base salaries for 2022 were set by the Board, taking into account base salaries for comparable positions in the January 2022 Peer Group. The following table shows the base salaries of the Senior Executive Officers as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022:

Senior Executive Officer⁽¹⁾	2022 Salary as of December 31, 2022 (US$)	2021 Salary as of December 31, 2021 (US$)	Percentage Change
Mark S. Chalmers President and CEO	$528,000	$440,000	20.00%
David C. Frydenlund Executive VP, CLO and Corporate Secretary⁽²⁾	$378,994	$315,828	20.00%
Tom L. Brock, CFO⁽³⁾	$340,000	NA	NA

Cash Bonuses

Along with the establishment of competitive base salaries and long-term incentives, one of the objectives of the executive compensation strategy is to encourage and recognize strong levels of performance by linking the overall performance and contributions of each NEO to the corporate objective of maximizing value for the Company's shareholders.

The cash bonus for the CEO for each fiscal year is approved by the Board, based on the overall financial performance of the Company, levels of bonuses provided by benchmark companies, any target bonus percentages of base salary set out in the CEO's employment agreement, and particularly the achievement of objective measures and individual performance of the CEO relative to pre-established performance goals for the year in question. Generally, the target cash bonus level is set at a competitive level relative to the cash bonuses paid within the current peer group as a percent of base salary, and the CEO's actual bonus is based on how well the CEO and the Company met the annual performance goals set by the Board in the Company's STIP as described under "Performance Goals," below. Ultimately, the cash bonus for the CEO is determined in the sole discretion of the Board, based on recommendations from the Compensation Committee.

The cash bonuses for the NEOs, other than the CEO, for each fiscal year are approved by the Compensation Committee, based on the overall financial performance of the Company, levels of bonuses provided by benchmark companies, any target bonus percentages of base salary set out in the individual NEO employment agreements, and particularly the achievement of objective measures and individual performance of the NEO, and based on recommendations and general input from the CEO. Generally, the target cash bonus levels for the NEOs, other than the CEO, are set at competitive levels relative to cash bonuses paid within the current peer group as a percent of base salary, and each NEO's actual bonus is based on how well the NEO and the Company met the annual performance goals set by the Board in the Company's STIP as described under "Performance Goals," below.

Generally, the cash bonuses earned in a fiscal year are determined by the Board at its first meeting in January of the following year. The cash bonuses in respect of each fiscal year of the Company may be paid in one or more installments, as determined by the Board, or the Compensation Committee, as the case may be.

In addition, the Board may, from time to time, grant additional cash bonuses to one or more of the NEOs, in special circumstances, such as the successful completion of a major transaction.

A summary of the cash bonus programs in 2022 is below:⁽¹⁾

Named Executive Officer	Cash Program Participation	Target as a % of Salary	STIP Threshold Payment (As a % of Target)	STIP Target Payment (As a % of Target)	STIP Maximum Payment (As a % of Target)
Senior Executive Officers
Mark S. Chalmers President and CEO	STIP	50%	0-50%	100%	150%
David C. Frydenlund Executive VP, CLO and Corporate Secretary⁽²⁾	STIP	50%	0-50%	100%	150%

Long-Term Incentives - Equity Compensation

Under the 2021 Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), which was originally approved by the Board on January 28, 2015 and ratified by the shareholders of the Company at the June 2015 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders and most recently amended and restated on March 18, 2021 and ratified by the shareholders of the Company at the May 26, 2021 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, the Board may, in its discretion, grant from time to time Options, Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs"), Restricted Stock and RSUs, Deferred Share Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units, and Full-Value Stock-Based Awards to employees, directors, officers and consultants of the Company and its affiliates.

The equity award for the CEO for each fiscal year is approved by the Board, based on the overall financial performance of the Company, levels of equity awards provided by benchmark companies, any target equity award percentages of base salary set out in the CEO's employment agreement, and particularly the achievement of objective measures and individual performance of the CEO relative to pre-established long-term performance goals for the year in question. Generally, the target equity award amount is set at a competitive level relative to the equity awards granted within the current peer group as a percent of base salary, and the CEO's actual equity award is based on how well the CEO and the Company met the annual long-term performance goals set by the Board in the Company's LTIP as described under "Performance Goals," below. Ultimately, the equity award for the CEO is determined in the sole discretion of the Board, based on recommendations from the Compensation Committee.

The equity awards for the NEOs, other than the CEO, for each fiscal year are approved by the Compensation Committee, based on the overall financial performance of the Company, levels of equity awards provided by benchmark companies, any target equity award percentages of base salary set out in the individual NEO employment agreements, and particularly the achievement of objective measures and individual performance of the NEO, and based on recommendations and general input from the CEO. Generally, the target equity award amounts for the NEOs, other than the CEO, are set at competitive levels relative to equity awards granted within the current peer group as a percent of base salary, and each NEO's actual equity award is based on how well the NEO and the Company met the annual long-term performance goals set by the Board in the Company's LTIP as described under "Performance Goals," below.

Equity incentives granted to NEOs may be made subject to specific vesting requirements, which may include vesting over a particular period of time or in response to the achievement of other performance-based metrics. Generally, equity awards for a fiscal year are determined by the Board at its first meeting in January the following year. In addition, the Board may, from time to time, grant additional equity awards to one or more of the NEOs, in special circumstances, such as the successful completion of a major transaction or for succession planning/retention purposes.

In 2022, under the LTIP, the Company relied on the grant of RSUs to align the NEOs' interests with shareholder value. Except as otherwise provided for in the NEO employment agreements, as they are revised from time to time, the RSUs granted in January 2023 for performance in 2022 will vest as to 50% on January 27, 2024, will vest as to an additional 25% on January 27, 2025 and as to the remaining 25% on January 27, 2026. Upon vesting, each RSU entitles the holder to receive one Common Share for the payment of no additional consideration. The Company considers RSUs to be an excellent form of equity incentive, which allows the Company to achieve its performance-based incentive and retention goals. First, because the Company's performance is heavily dependent on commodity prices, and traditional performance measures such as earnings per share, revenue growth, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, etc. have not been meaningful in the past, share price performance is one of the main measures of long-term performance for the Company. Because the RSUs vest over a three-year period, with the number of shares vesting each year set at the time of grant, the value of the shares at the time of vesting will be directly dependent on the Company's share price at the time of vesting. If management is successful in increasing the Company's share price over the three-year period, the value of the shares at each vesting date will have increased; however, if management is not successful in increasing share prices over that time period, the value of management's vested shares may decrease. The Company therefore considers RSUs to provide a very effective long-term share-performance-based form of equity incentive. In addition, because an executive will forfeit all unvested RSUs if the executive leaves the Company to take employment elsewhere, the unvested RSUs also help the Company satisfy its retention objectives.

In 2019, the Company made a special grant of SARs to its Senior Executive Officers and certain management personnel for performance in 2018, in recognition of the Company's outstanding share price performance in 2018 and in order to provide additional long-term performance-based equity incentives for its senior management. The SARs are purely performance based because they vest only upon the achievement of aggressive performance goals designed to significantly increase shareholder value. If those goals are not met, the SARs do not vest. These SARs were granted in 2019 for performance in 2018 but are included in NEO compensation for 2019 in this Proxy Statement because they were granted in 2019. As of December 31, 2021, the first two performance criteria to the January 2019 SAR grant had been met - the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American having equaled or exceeded $5.00 and $7.00, respectively. As a result, two-thirds (2/3) of each grantee's total number of SARs have vested and are now exercisable. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the 2019 SAR grants are in their final year. If the third vesting performance condition - that the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American equal or exceed $10.00 for any 90-calendar-day period - is not satisfied prior to the grant's January 22, 2024 expiry date, all such remaining SARs granted in 2019 will expire and be automatically forfeited to the Company on such expiry date. For additional details, see "Additional Special SAR Grant for 2018" in the Proxy Statement (then called a Management Information Circular) released in advance of the Company's May 29, 2019 meeting of shareholders.

At its meeting in January 2022, in recognition of: (a) the excellent share price performance of the Company in 2021 (a 79% increase in share price over the year), and (b) the notable achievement of certain 2021 Subjective Factors each having the potential to reshape the Company's entire trajectory, including with particularity the results of work to further the Company's core environmental initiatives, to develop a new U.S.-based REE business, and to potentially develop radionuclides for use in groundbreaking cancer treatments, while taking into account (c) compensation levels for comparable executive officer positions in the 2022 Peer Group, the Company made a special grant of SARs to its NEOs and certain other personnel for 2021, in addition to the normal grant of RSUs under the Company's LTIP and normal equity grants process (for non-Senior Executive Officers and other employees and Directors) described above for 2021. These SARS are intended to provide additional long-term performance-based equity incentives for the Company's senior management. The SARs are purely performance based, because they only vest upon the achievement of aggressive performance goals designed to significantly increase shareholder value. If those goals are not met, the SARs do not vest. Each SAR granted for 2021 entitles the holder, on exercise, to a payment in cash or shares (at the election of the Company) equal to the difference between the market price of the Common Shares at the time of exercise and $6.47 (the market price at the time of grant) over a five-year period, but vest only upon the achievement of the following performance goals: as to one-third of the SARs granted upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding $12.00 for any continuous 90-calendar-day period; as to an additional one-third of the SARs granted, upon the 90- calendar-day VWAP of the Company's common shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding $14.00 for any continuous 90-calendar-day period; and as to the final one-third of the SARs granted, upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Company's Common Shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding $16.00 for any continuous 90- calendar-day period. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, no SARs may be exercised by the holder for an initial period of one year from the date of grant; the date first exercisable being January 25, 2023. As a result, the SARs granted for 2021 are a long-term equity incentive (not exercisable until after one-year after grant) and are 100% performance based. If management does not perform to achieve the stipulated vesting share price levels, the SARs will have no value on exercise.

Performance Goals

As discussed above, the Company is in an industry that is heavily dependent on the price of uranium and vanadium. When these commodity prices are high, development, extraction, production and related operations can be in full swing and booming. However, when these commodity prices are low, operations and other development activities are generally curtailed, and properties and facilities are placed on standby or are potentially shut down. During those periods of low commodity prices, which the Company has experienced in varying degrees over the last several years, industry participants can face negative cashflows and losses and are often tasked with minimizing those negative cashflows and losses, while at the same time maintaining their valuable assets in a state of readiness for a ramp-up when commodity prices recover. As a result of this heavy reliance on commodity prices and large fluctuations in cashflows and income and losses, typical performance metrics, such as net income, earnings per share, revenue growth, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, etc. are not always meaningful to the Company.

To address this issue, the Company implemented the STIP in January 2016 and the LTIP in January 2018, which are intended to set out meaningful performance criteria tailored specifically to the Company, in light of the general inability to rely on more standard performance indicators. The STIP sets short-term performance goals each year that are tied primarily to the Company meeting its annual budget, as set by the Board, as well as the objectives over the year as set out in the Company's long-term strategic plan. Cash bonuses for Senior Executive Officers are awarded each year based on performance relative to the STIP performance goals for the year, as determined by the Board in January of the following year.

The LTIP sets long-term performance goals each year tailored specifically to the Company that have implications beyond the current year. Equity awards for Senior Executive Officers are awarded for each year based on performance relative to the LTIP performance goals for the year, as determined by the Board in January of the following year. The equity awards are typically in the form of RSUs that vest over a three-year period. Although performance goals are not contained in the RSUs themselves, the number of RSUs awarded for any year is based on the success of management in meeting the year's long-term performance goals. Further, because the RSUs vest over a three-year period, the RSUs provide an additional performance incentive for management, because the better the Company performs over the long term, the better the Company's share performance will be, and the higher the value of the RSUs will be when they vest in the future.

On January 26, 2023, the Board approved a Stock Appreciation Right Plan ("SAR Plan") for the Company, which provides key parameters pursuant to which the Board, in its complete discretion, may make annual SAR grants to senior management personnel and others performing those roles. Prior to implementation of the SAR Plan in January 2023, the Board granted SARs on an ad hoc basis in 2019 and 2022. The SAR Plan now sets out the general criteria on which the Company plans to grant SARs on an annual basis, as equity awards in addition to but separate from RSU grants under the LTIP. The SAR Plan provides an added level of equity performance awards that are intended to incentivize senior management to achieve the Company's strategic long-term goals over the specified term of the SARs, based on significant common share price growth objectives, and to reward management for achieving those growth objectives. Under the SAR Plan, senior management personnel will generally be granted SARs having a value equal to 50% of the value of their RSU grants under the LTIP or otherwise. The term of each SAR granted will be five (5) years from the date of grant and will vest in three separate tranches according to increasingly high NYSE American closing prices of the Company's common shares, known as "Vesting Trigger Prices," similar to the vesting trigger prices utilized for the 2019 and 2022 SAR grants. All SAR grants have a one (1)-year holding period from the date of grant during which any vested SARs may not be exercised. The SAR grants are discretionary, and the size of the grants and the terms and conditions of the grants are in the discretion of the Board and may vary from the terms and conditions described above.

The Company has found that the STIP and LTIP have been very effective in setting meaningful goals specific to the Company that can be managed by the Senior Executive Officers and objectively evaluated by the Board. The Company is very pleased with its executive incentive program and believes it encourages and recognizes strong levels of performance by linking the overall performance and contributions of each Senior Executive Officer to the corporate objective of maximizing value for the Company's shareholders.

STIP Goals and Performance

The purpose of the STIP is to align short-term (generally one year or less) performance of Senior Executive Officers with the Company's annual business plan and other specified criteria through awarding participants with cash bonuses that are a function of performance against STIP goals. How well Senior Executive Officers perform at achieving STIP goals determines whether the Senior Executive Officers' cash bonuses are at, above or below their target levels.

In January of each year, the Compensation Committee completes a STIP matrix including goals, metrics and weightings to serve as the basis for measuring short-term performance of the Company and the participants during and at the end of the year. The STIP matrix generally contains several objective criteria (such as criteria tied to successful implementation of the annual business plan for the year), as well as a subjective category. The objective performance goals generally apply equally to all Senior Executive Officers, recognizing the need for all top executives to work as a team to achieve corporate goals. The objective criteria serve as the short-term performance goals for the CEO and the top management group.

The performance metrics for the STIP objective performance goals are generally structured so that, if the senior management team performs as expected, the mid-level (100% of target) will be achieved for each of the objective performance goals and the target cash bonus level will be achieved. If performance is lower than expected for an objective performance goal, then the lower level (generally expected to be set at approximately 0-50% of target) will apply, and likewise if performance is greater than expected for the criteria, the higher level (generally expected to be set at approximately 150% of target) will apply.

The subjective evaluation for each participant is performed by the Compensation Committee, upon the recommendations and input of the CEO, and may take into consideration individual contributions and achievements of participants, workloads, reaction to market conditions over which the participant has no control, leadership, relationship with the Board, and other elements specific to the participant that warrant attention during the year. The target weighting of the subjective category is generally applied equally across each STIP participant, recognizing the need for all top executives to focus primarily on working as a team to achieve the objective corporate goals set for the CEO and the senior management team. While the subjective category is only one of many factors taken into consideration annually and therefore generally does not exceed more than 20-30% of the total bonus amount for each participant, the Compensation Committee may take a higher target weighting into consideration in unique circumstances where the Company's performance has been especially noteworthy or important in that year, or if otherwise considered appropriate.

The Compensation Committee determines the target cash bonus level for each participant, generally to be set as a percentage of base salary at the same time it determines the STIP matrix, by referencing the cash bonuses awarded to those in comparable positions within the current peer group established by the Compensation Committee, which necessarily reflects the most recent year for which such data is publicly available. Those considerations must be considered in light of the target bonus percentages of base salary set out in the individual Senior Executive Officers' employment agreements. The actual cash bonus award could be lower or higher than the target bonus level depending on the Compensation Committee's actual evaluation of the performance metrics for the year, as well as any information for industry trends, price level adjustments or other factors that indicate the data for the year in comparison would understate or overstate the expected cash bonuses for those with comparable positions in the peer group during the performance year.

The STIP also applies an overriding health and safety factor, which serves to reduce or eliminate any cash bonuses otherwise payable if the Company fails to meet stipulated health and safety performance criteria. The Board also has the authority to vary from the STIP as it sees fit.

2022 STIP Goals and Performance

In situations such as the present, where the Company is not generating sufficient revenues to result in earnings from operations, factors such as managing production, cash expenditures, overheads and working capital balances, maintaining valuable assets on standby and advancing other assets and initiatives, all as set out in the Company's annual budget, are more important for guiding management and judging management's performance than broad corporate-level financial performance metrics. Cash bonuses earned in 2022 were based on management's performance in 2022 relative to the 2022 STIP performance goals and were paid in February 2023.

For 2022, the STIP performance goals, which together comprise the 2022 total STIP weighting, a summary chart and additional summary details are below:

Metric	Weight	Threshold Performance	Target Performance	Maximum Performance

Notes:

(1) ESG is short for Environmental, Social and Governance and represents core corporate governance values actively being integrated into the Company's business and more transparently and meaningfully disclosed where already in place.

(2) "Additional" for purposes of this metric means over and above contracted future monazite deliveries made as of December 21, 2022 at the time of approval of the STIP goals for 2022.

• Total Recurring and Discretionary Cash Flow, Liquid Working Capital

Under this performance goal, the Company was required to manage its operating costs in 2022 to meet or exceed specified total recurring and discretionary cash flow and liquid working capital requirements, (15% of the total STIP weighting at 100% of target). Specifically, 100% of target required total recurring and discretionary cash flow for 2022 to be equal to or greater than (i.e., less cash negative than) ($34.8) million but less than (i.e., more cash negative than) or equal to ($25.8) million with liquid working capital of at least $149 million; 150% of target required cash flows of greater than (i.e., less cash negative than) ($25.8) million with liquid working capital of at least $153.5 million; 50% of target meant cash flows of less than (i.e., more cash negative than) ($34.8) million but equal to or greater than (i.e., less cash negative than) ($39.3) million with liquid working capital of at least $100 million; and 0% of target resulted if such value was less than (i.e., more cash negative than) ($39.3) million, or liquid working capital of less than $100 million. It should be noted that all dollar amounts in this performance goal, including liquid working capital amounts, were to be adjusted for inflation at a rate of 6.7% based on adjustments in the GDP Price Deflator between December 8, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

A number of exclusions from Net Recurring Cash Flows were assumed, including costs or revenues relating to special projects or extraordinary items not contemplated by the 2022 Business Plan and Budget, including the development of and restart preparations at the Pinyon Plain Mine, the acquisition and exploration of the South Bahia Project (the "Bahia Project") in Brazil, and the sale of the Alta Mesa Project in Texas to enCore Energy, and any appropriate adjustments to reflect changes in the underlying assumptions (such as purchases of U₃O₈ from third parties), a number of which were made as a part of the 2022 STIP evaluation.

Based on the Company's evaluations the adjusted total recurring and discretionary cash flow for 2022 was determined to be approximately ($29.4) million, after adjusting for Board approved non-budgeted items and other non-budgeted factors, which placed the net recurring and discretionary cash flows at 100% of Plan for this performance goal.

As of December 31, 2022, the liquid working capital balance, comprised of cash and qualifying marketable securities, less the net difference between accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, plus the value to the Company of uranium, vanadium and REE concentrate ("RE Concentrate") product inventory in salable form as of December 31, 2022, was approximately $126.9 million, which is less than the stipulated amount of $149 million. However, the Company made the conscious decision not to draw down on its At-the-Market public offering facility ("ATM") during the third and fourth quarters of 2022 to increase its working capital from $126.9 million to $149 million, as initially contemplated by the 2022 Budget, for the following reasons:

i. the Company had ample liquid working capital of approximately $126.9 million for its current needs and to eliminate any going concern issues;

ii. the Company did not want to issue shares under the ATM at significantly lower prices than previous ATM issuances, which would further dilute shareholder value at a time when additional working capital was not required;

iii. the Alta Mesa Project closing, which would have provided ample additional cash to satisfy this working capital goal, was extended past the 2022 year-end, with the expectation that those funds would be added to the Company's liquid working capital balances upon the closing of that transaction in the first quarter of 2023 (which actually occurred on February 14, 2023);

iv. the Company was awarded a U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") contract in mid-December 2022 to sell 300,000 pounds of U.S.-origin uranium to the DOE at a premium to current spot market prices, resulting in an unbudgeted increase to liquid working capital by approximately $4.2 million, to be realized in January 2023; and

v. the Company entered into long-term uranium supply agreements in 2022 for uranium sales at a positive margin over the next several years, resulting in unbudgeted positive cash inflows in 2023 and beyond.

Based on these factors, the Board agreed with management's judgement not to draw down on the Company's ATM in order to top up the Company's liquid working capital balances in 2022, and therefore considered the liquid working capital requirements of this performance goal to have been satisfied at the 100% of target level. As a result, a full weighting of 15% was achieved for this performance goal.

• ESG Goal: Advance REE Initiative

Under this performance goal the Company was required to advance its REE Initiative (20% of the total STIP weighting at 100% of target). Specifically, 100% of target required the Company to have completed initial engineering sufficient to satisfy stipulated early-stage development activity milestones relating to potential REE separation at the Mill; 150% of target required the Company to have satisfied stipulated early to mid-stage development activity milestones relating to potential REE separation at the Mill; 50% of target required the Company to have advanced engineering activities relating to construction of an REE separation facility at the Mill; and 0% of target resulted if the Company had not advanced engineering activities relating to construction of an REE separation facility at the Mill during the 2022 year.

As the Board was satisfied that the Company had satisfied stipulated early to mid-stage development activity milestones relating to potential REE separation at the Mill, 150% of Plan had been achieved for this performance goal. As a result, a weighting of 30% was achieved for this performance goal.

• Secure or Purchase Additional Monazite Sand Sources

Under this performance goal the Company was required to pursue and secure and/or purchase stipulated quantities of additional monazite sand supply over and above existing contracted future monazite deliveries over the next four years, which could include the securing or purchase of pounds of monazite resources in the ground on the basis of one pound of monazite resource in the ground that is reasonably capable of being mined and produced into monazite sand into RE Carbonate or REE oxides being deemed to equal one-tenth of a pound of monazite sand (20% of the total STIP weighting at 100% of target). Specifically, 100% of target required the Company to have secured and/or purchased a stipulated quantity of additional monazite sand supply in total over the next four years; 150% of target required the Company to have secured and/or purchased a stipulated (greater) quantity of additional monazite sand supply in total over the next five years; 50% of target required the Company to have pursued securing or purchasing additional supplies of monazite sands; and 0% of target resulted if the Company had not pursued securing or purchasing additional supplies of monazite sands during the 2022 year.

On May 19, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into binding agreements to acquire the Bahia Project in the State of Bahia, Brazil consisting of 17 mineral concessions totaling approximately 37,300 acres or 58.3 square miles. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary Energy Fuels Brazil Ltda. completed the acquisition of the Bahia Project on February 10, 2023, and is the owner of the Bahia Project. The primary minerals associated with the Bahia Project are ilmenite, rutile, zircon and monazite.

Based on the Company's due diligence as presented to the Board in support of the Company's decision to pursue this project, which was made in reliance on historical mineral resource estimates performed by third parties (which do not meet the standards set out in Subpart1300 of Regulation S-K ("SK-1300") (U.S.) or National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") (Canada) as mineral resources) the project has in-place historical resources that, subject to the completion of comprehensive exploration drilling and the procurement of all necessary licenses and permits, are believed to meet the in-place resources actually required for the Company to mine and produce the threshold quantity set for this performance goal at 100% of Plan.

The historical mineral resource estimates were contained in historical exploration reports dated between October 20, 2016 and April 29, 2022, as published with the Brazilian National Mining Agency (Agência Nacional de Mineração). It should be noted that the numbers in the reports are considered historical in nature and a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the estimates as a current estimate of mineral resources or mineral reserves, as defined by SK-1300 and NI 43-101, or exploration results. The Company is not treating such historical estimates as current estimates of mineral resources, mineral reserves or exploration results for the Bahia Project.

As the Board is satisfied that the Company has secured adequate in-place historical resources to mine and produce the threshold quantity set as its target performance for 2022, which it believes it is reasonably capable of doing (subject to the factors listed above), 100% of Plan had been achieved. As a result, a full weighting of 20% was achieved for this performance goal.

• ESG Goal: TAT Development and Permitting

This second ESG performance goal is to advance development and permitting of the Company's TAT initiative, under which the Company is evaluating the recycle of its process streams to potentially recover radioisotopes for use in the manufacture of cancer therapeutics (15% of the total STIP weighting at 100% of target). Specifically, 100% of target required the Company to have completed initial engineering sufficient to satisfy stipulated early-stage permitting and development activity milestones relating to potential separation of Ra-226 and/or Ra-228 at the Mill; 150% of target required the Company to satisfy stipulated early to mid-stage permitting and development activity milestones relating to potential separation of Ra-226 and/or Ra-228 at the Company's Mill; 50% of target required the Company to advance feasibility analysis, engineering and permitting work relating to potential separation of Ra-226 and/or Ra-228 at the Company's Mill; and 0% of target resulted it the Company did not advance its long-term TAT initiatives during the 2022 year.

As the Board was satisfied that the Company had completed initial engineering sufficient to satisfy stipulated early-stage permitting and development activity milestones relating to potential separation of Ra-226 and/or Ra-228 at the Mill, 100% of Plan had been achieved for this performance goal. As a result, a full weighting of 15% was achieved for this performance goal.

• ESG Goal: Pursue NSP REE Metal-Making Initiative

This third ESG performance goal is to pursue an initiative with NSP to potentially develop a novel method of producing REE metals that has the potential to reduce costs of REE production, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions ("GHGs") (10% of the total STIP weighting at 100% of target).

Under this performance goal, 100% of target required the Company to have entered into a definitive agreement with NSP for the development of the REE metal-making technology; 150% of target required the Company to have advanced test work on the first phase of the project to a stage that demonstrates the preliminary feasibility of developing a process to produce anhydrous rare earth chloride feeds for the REE metal-making process; and 50% of target required the Company to have completed its due diligence under the NSP MOU.

During 2022, the Company completed its due diligence under the NSP MOU, which was first announced by the Company on December 15, 2021, and has since begun working with NSP for the development of the technology for the potential production of REE metals.

As the Company has completed its due diligence under the NSP MOU in 2022, 50% of Plan was achieved. As a result, a weighting of 5.0% was achieved for this performance goal.

• Subjective Component

Under this performance goal, each Senior Executive Officer is given a subjective evaluation specific to the Senior Executive Officer's particularized roles and responsibilities within the Company (20% of the total STIP weighting at 100% of target).

With respect to the Subjective Component, 150% of target was achieved by all Senior Executive Officers, which resulted in a weighting of 30% for this performance goal for all Senior Executive Officers. In making this conclusion, the Compensation Committee considered the following factors (the "2022 Subjective Factors"):

i. Five-Year Strategic Plan

Management presented a Five-Year Strategic Plan to the Board that results in a reasonable expectation of sustained positive cash flows for the Company in future years. That forecast assumes uranium mining revenues from the startup of uranium mining as early as later in 2023, due to the uranium sales contracts entered into, and also assumes the construction and operation of an NdPr separation facility at the Mill. The Plan assumes that a portion of the capital and working capital requirements needed for the above projects will be funded by the sale of the Alta Mesa ISR Project, which was completed in February 2023.

ii. Strong Working Capital Position

The Company successfully maintains a strong working capital position, ending 2022 with a liquid working capital balance of $126.9 million (excluding equity securities of other companies held by Energy Fuels). This has meant that the Company has been able to defer the use of its ATM, thereby minimizing dilution to shareholders, while still allowing the Company to aggressively advance its initiatives in 2022 and 2023.

This liquid working capital balance does not take into account (i) the mid-December 2022 contract awarded to the Company to sell 300,000 pounds of U.S.-origin uranium to the DOE at a premium to then-current spot market prices, which was realized in January 2023, resulting in an unbudgeted increase in liquid working capital by approximately $4.2 million, (ii) the Company's entry into long-term uranium supply agreements in 2022 for uranium sales at a positive margin over the next several years, resulting in unbudgeted positive cash inflows in 2023 alone of approximately $1.4 million; the sale of the Company's Alta Mesa project for $120 million, comprised of $60 million in cash paid on closing and the issuance to the Company of a $60 million two-year secured convertible note, which closed on February 14, 2023, offset by the payment in February 2023 of approximately $21.9 million for the acquisition of the South Bahia project, which also closed in February 2023.

iii. Uranium Sales Contract

During 2022, the Company entered into four uranium sale and purchase agreements, three with major U.S. nuclear utilities and one with the United States Uranium Reserve Program ("U.S. Uranium Reserve") (see iv, below). Under these contracts, the Company expects to sell 560,000 pounds of U₃O₈ during 2023 with an expected weighted-average sales price of $58 - $60 per pound, subject to then-prevailing market prices at the time of delivery.

iv. Uranium Reserve

In 2018, the Company commenced preparation of a petition for relief under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 from imports of uranium products that threaten national security. The Company, along with UR-Energy, led this initiative on behalf of the U.S. uranium mining industry. After several years of lobbying efforts, this initiative resulted in the establishment of a Uranium Reserve for the United States pursuant to the COVID-Relief and Omnibus Spending Bill. This resulted in the DOE requesting bids for sales of uranium to the U.S. Government for the newly established U.S. Uranium Reserve in 2022. The Company was awarded a contract in mid-December 2022 to sell a total of 300,000 pounds of U₃O₈ to the U.S. Government for delivery in January 2023.

v. Uranium Mining

In 2022, the Company won the final appeal at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit relating to the Pinyon Plain mine Plan of Operations. This brought an end to the current litigation, dating back to 2013. The Company also received an Individual Aquifer Protection Permit for the mine in 2022, in lieu of renewing the existing General Aquifer Protection Permits.

In addition, during 2022, the Company made significant progress in preparing four (4) of its conventional uranium and uranium/vanadium mines to be ready to resume uranium ore production, including significant workforce expansion and performing needed rehabilitation of surface and underground infrastructure.

vi. Uranium Production

The Company continues to be the largest uranium producer in the United States, having produced approximately 160,000 low-cost pounds of U₃O₈ from stockpiled alternate feed materials in 2022. This quantity exceeded the Company's 2022 published guidance of 130,000 to 140,000 pounds of U₃O₈ production.

vii. REE Program

During 2022, the Company continued to make significant advancements in its goal of re-establishing a U.S. REE supply chain, through:

(A) Acquisition of Bahia Project: On May 19, 2022, the Company announced it had entered into binding agreements to acquire the Bahia Project in the State of Bahia, Brazil consisting of 17 mineral concessions totaling approximately 37,300 acres or 58.3 square miles. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary Energy Fuels Brazil Ltda. completed the acquisition of the Bahia Project on February 10, 2023, and is the owner of the Bahia Project. The primary minerals associated with the Bahia Project are ilmenite, rutile, zircon and monazite. The Company is acquiring the Bahia Project to expand its in-ground holdings of monazite for rare earth processing at the Mill.

(B) Commercial Production of RE Carbonate: The Company continued producing RE Carbonate at the Mill during 2022, processing a total of approximately 400 tonnes of monazite sands from The Chemours Company ("Chemours") and producing a total of approximately 205 tonnes of RE Carbonate during the year, which it delivered to Neo Performance Materials' ("Neo's") Silmet separation facility in Estonia ("Silmet"). Our RE Carbonate is a wholly U.S.-produced, high-purity product ready for REE separation without further processing, refining or purification. The Company is currently selling all its RE Carbonate to Neo's Silmet separation facility in Europe for further processing into advanced REE products further down the supply chain, including metals, alloys, and magnets.

(C) Commercial Separation of Lanthanum and Cerium: In the first quarter of 2022, the Company began commercial-scale partial separation of lanthanum ("La") and cerium ("Ce") from its commercial RE Carbonate stream utilizing existing Mill infrastructure in order to produce a U.S.-made RE Carbonate product with higher concentrations of NdPr and "heavy" REEs. Energy Fuels is also proceeding with the modification and enhancement of its infrastructure at the Mill ("Phase 1") to expand its REE separation facilities to be capable of producing commercial quantities of separated NdPr oxide by late 2023 or early 2024, followed by planned further enhancements to expand NdPr production capability ("Phase 2") and to produce separated Dy, Tb and potentially other REE materials in the future ("Phase 3") from monazite and potentially other REE process streams.

(D) Ongoing Negotiations to Secure Additional Monazite Feed Sources: The Company expects to procure monazite concentrates through Company-owned mines like the Bahia Project, joint ventures or other collaborations, and open market purchases, like the Company's current arrangement with Chemours. The Company is currently in advanced discussions with several additional current and future monazite producers around the world to potentially supply monazite for Energy Fuels' REE initiative.

(E) Ongoing Efforts with NSP: In 2022, the Company continued to work actively with NSP for the development of a novel technology for the potential production of REE metals, which we believe has the potential to significantly reduce costs of production, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

viii. TAT Program

(A) Technical and Permitting Work Performed in 2022: During 2022, the Mill completed its preliminary test work for the extraction of Th-232 from its monazite sand process streams and advanced its test work for the recovery of Ra-226 from its other uranium ore process streams and advanced its permitting efforts.

ix. Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability ("EHSS") Initiatives

(A) Sustainable Green Technologies: Uranium, which is the fuel for carbon-free, emission-free baseload nuclear power, is one of the cleanest forms of energy in the world. In addition, the REEs the Company commenced production of in 2021 and commercialized in 2022 are used for the manufacture of permanent magnets for electric vehicles, wind turbines and other clean energy and modern technologies, and the radioisotopes the Company is evaluating for recovery from the Mill's process streams have the potential to provide the isotopes needed for emerging TAT cancer-fighting therapeutics. The very heart of the Company's business - uranium and REE production and recycling through the processing of alternate feed materials - helps address global climate change by reducing air pollution while supporting baseload energy needs and sustaining clean energy technologies.

(B) San Juan County Clean Energy Foundation: On September 16, 2021, the Company announced its establishment of the San Juan County Clean Energy Foundation, a fund specifically designed to contribute to the communities surrounding the Mill in Southeastern, Utah. The Company made an initial cash deposit of $1 million into the Foundation and anticipates providing ongoing annual funding equal to 1% of the Mill's future revenues, providing funding to support local priorities. The Foundation focuses on supporting education, the environment, health/wellness, and local economic development in the City of Blanding, San Juan County, the White Mesa Ute Community, the Navajo Nation and other area communities.

A six-person Advisory Board, comprised of local citizens from San Juan County, is now evaluating grant applications on a quarterly basis and is making its recommendations to the Foundation's Board of Directors, which is comprised of two officers of the Company. In 2022, the Foundation awarded its first grant in the amount of $160,000 to American Indian Services ("AIS"), which runs a three-year science, technology, engineering and math ("STEM") summer school program in Blanding, Utah, to fund the acquisition of two minibuses to be used by AIS to transport Native American students to and from Blanding for this program.

xii. Sale of Alta Mesa ISR Project

The Company entered into a definitive agreement in November 2022 to sell its Alta Mesa ISR Project to enCore Energy ("enCore") for total consideration of $120 million. On February 15, 2023, the Company announced the closing of that sale, with the consideration paid as follows:

$60 million cash at or prior to closing; and
$60 million in a secured convertible note (the "Note"), payable in two years from the closing, bearing annual interest of eight percent (8%). The Note is convertible at the Company's election into enCore shares at a conversion price of $2.9103, being a 20% premium to the 10-day volume-weighted average price of enCore's common shares ending the day before the closing. enCore's common shares are currently traded on the TSXV and NYSE American stock exchanges. The Note is guaranteed by enCore Energy Corp. and is fully secured by Alta Mesa. Unless a block trade or similar distribution is executed by the Company to sell the enCore common shares received on conversion of the Note, Energy Fuels will be limited to converting the Note into a maximum of $10 million principal amount of the Note per thirty (30)-day period.

In addition, enCore was required to replace the existing reclamation bonds for the Alta Mesa project (approximately $10.3 million) shortly after the closing of the transaction, which resulted in the Company receiving an additional $3.6 million cash as a return of collateral from those bonds. The Company estimates that the sale of Alta Mesa will reduce Energy Fuels' cash burn by approximately $2 million per year. The sale is considered significant for the Company, as the cash received is expected to finance much of the Company's uranium, REE, vanadium and medical isotope business plans for the next two to three years.

There were also no health or safety factors to apply to reduce the foregoing results in the 2022 year. The Company had a good safety record for 2022, with no lost-time accidents and only one reportable medical aid across its facilities.

Based on this analysis, the combined STIP performance weighting for 2022 was 115%. Accordingly, the cash bonuses awarded to Senior Executive Officers for their performance in 2022 were determined by the Compensation Committee at its January 2023 meeting to be 115% of each Senior Executive Officer's target cash bonus amount. The following table shows the resulting cash bonuses earned in 2022 by the Senior Executive Officers:

Senior Executive Officer	2022 Salary as of December 31, 2022 (US$)	Target Cash Bonus Percentage	Target Cash Bonus (US$)	STIP Performance Weighting	Actual Cash Bonus earned in 2022 (US$)
Mark S. Chalmers President and CEO	$528,000	50%	$264,000	115%	$303,600
David C. Frydenlund Executive VP, CLO and Corporate Secretary⁽¹⁾	$378,994	50%	$189,497	115%	$217,921
Tom L. Brock CFO⁽²⁾	$340,000⁽⁴⁾	40%	$136,000⁽⁶⁾	115%	$74,129⁽⁸⁾

The STIP applies only to the Senior Executive Officers. Cash bonuses to the other Executive Officers are determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee based on the overall financial performance of the Company, levels of bonuses provided by benchmark companies, and individual performance of the Executive Officer based on recommendations and general input from the CEO.

LTIP Goals and Performance

The purpose of the LTIP, which was first adopted in January 2018, is to align performance of Senior Executive Officers with the Company's long-term (generally in excess of one year) goals and other specified criteria through awarding participants with equity awards in the form of RSUs that are a function of performance against LTIP goals. How well Senior Executive Officers perform at achieving LTIP goals determines whether the Senior Executive Officers' equity awards are at, above or below their target levels.

In January of each year, the Compensation Committee completes an LTIP matrix including goals, metrics and weightings to serve as the basis for measuring long-term performance of the Company and the participants during and at the end of the year. As with the STIP, the LTIP matrix generally contains several objective criteria as well as a subjective category. The objective performance goals generally apply equally to all Senior Executive Officers, recognizing the need for all top executives to work as a team to achieve corporate goals. The objective criteria serve as the long-term performance goals for the CEO and the top management group.

The performance metrics for the LTIP objective performance goals are generally structured so that, if the senior management team performs as expected, the mid-level (100% of target) will be achieved for each of the objective performance goals, and the target equity award level will be achieved. If performance is lower than expected for an objective performance goal, then the lower level (generally expected to be set at approximately 0-50% of target) will apply, and likewise if performance is greater than expected for the criteria, the higher level (generally expected to be set at approximately 150% of target) will apply.

The subjective evaluation for each participant is performed by the Compensation Committee, upon the recommendations of the CEO, and may take into consideration individual contributions and achievements of participants, workloads, reaction to market conditions over which the participant has no control, leadership, relationship with the Board, and other elements specific to the participant that warrant attention during the year. The target weighting of the subjective category generally does not exceed 20% of the total equity award amount for each participant, recognizing the need for all top executives to focus primarily on working as a team to achieve the objective long-term corporate goals set for the CEO and the senior management team; however, the Compensation Committee may take a higher weighting into consideration in unique circumstances where the Company's performance has been especially noteworthy or important in that year, or if otherwise considered appropriate.

The Compensation Committee determines the target equity award level for each participant; generally, to be set as a percentage of base salary at the same time it determines the LTIP matrix. Generally, the Compensation Committee sets the target equity award percent for each participant for the year by reference to the equity amounts awarded to comparable positions in the current peer group established by the Compensation Committee for the most recent year for which data is publicly available, consistent with any target equity award percentages of base salary that may be set out in the individual NEO employment agreements. The actual value of equity awarded could be lower or higher than the target equity award level depending on the Compensation Committee's actual evaluation of the long-term performance metrics for the year, as well as any information for industry trends, price level adjustments etc. that would indicate that data for the comparison year would understate or overstate the expected equity awards for comparable positions in the peer group during the year.

The LTIP also applies an overriding health and safety factor, which serves to reduce or eliminate any equity awards otherwise payable if the Company fails to meet stipulated health and safety performance criteria. The Board also has the authority to vary from the LTIP as it sees fit.

The Company believes shareholder value is primarily driven by results, both in terms of financial strength and operating measures such as production, production capability, advancement of long-term initiatives, and mineral reserve and resource growth, as well as protection of public health, safety and the environment and good corporate governance. Each executive's performance is also evaluated against expectations for fulfilling the executive's individual responsibilities and goals within his or her particular employment functions and areas of expertise, which also reflects on the executive's contribution to the Company's success in meeting its long-term objectives.

2022 LTIP Goals and Performance

As stated above, performance goals based on broad corporate-level financial performance metrics such as earnings per share, revenue growth, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, are not meaningful to the Company's performance at this time. Instead, the Company sets long-term performance goals each year tailored specifically to the long-term objectives set by the Company each year. Share price performance over the year is considered to be a good long-term indicator for the Company because it reflects the market's expectation of the Company's performance beyond the current year. However, because share price performance is highly linked to commodity price performance for companies such as the Company, this long-term performance goal has been set to compare the Company's share price performance relative to the share price performance of other comparable companies in the uranium industry (and not to the Company's peer group as a whole, which includes companies in different commodity industries), in order to standardize for commodity price fluctuations over the year. The Long-term performance goals of obtaining long-term supplies of monazite sand for the Company's REE initiatives and entering into long-term commercial arrangements for the supply of Ra-226 for use in the production of TAT therapeutics requires management to manage the Company in the current year to advance the Company's REE and TAT initiatives in future years. Similarly, the long-term performance goal of obtaining business activities beyond the following year requires management to manage the Company in the current year to secure business activities for the second year beyond the current year. The Company believes these are the most meaningful long-term performance goals for the Company at this time.

Equity awards earned in 2022 were based on management's performance in 2022 relative to the 2022 LTIP performance goals. A summary chart and additional descriptions of the 2022 LTIP performance goals is below:

Metric	Weight	Threshold Performance	Target Performance	Maximum Performance
Relative Share Price Performance	30%	Third quartile	Second quartile	First quartile
ESG Goal: Advance Long Term REE Initiatives	20%	Pursue initiatives intended to result in securing long-term (15+ years) of monazite sand supplies from one or more monazite sand producers	Enter into one or more non-binding arrangements with one or more monazite producers, resulting in securing a stipulated quantity of expected monazite sand supply per year for at least 15 years	Enter into binding arrangements with one or more monazite producers, resulting in securing a stipulated greater quantity of expected monazite sand supply per year for at least 15 years
ESG Goal: Advance Long-Term TAT Initiatives	15%	Pursue initiatives with a third party for the production of Ra-228, Th-228 and/or Ra-226 on a commercial scale, subject to receipt of required permits and successful production	Enter into one or more non-binding arrangements with a third party for the production of Ra-228, Th-228 and/or Ra-226 on a commercial scale, subject to receipt of required permits and successful production	Enter into one or more binding arrangements with a third party for the production of Ra-228, Th-228 and/or Ra-226 on a commercial scale, subject to receipt of required permits and successful production
Secure Additional Activities	10%	Did not pursue any such additional activities	Pursue additional activities that are expected to result in a net cash increment to the Company beyond 2022	Secure additional activities that are expected to result in a net cash increment to the Company beyond 2022 of $5 million or greater over any two-year period after 2022
Scalability of Uranium and Vanadium Production	5%	Achieve any one of 11 stipulated target Permits or Milestones	Achieve any two of 11 stipulated target Permits or Milestones	Achieve any three or more of 11 stipulated target Permits or Milestones
Subjective Component	20%	Subjective evaluation specific to the Senior Executive Officer's particularized roles and responsibilities within the Company

• Relative Share Price Performance

Under this performance goal, the Company was required to achieve a share price performance during the three-year period ending December 31, 2022 relative to the share price performance of other publicly traded uranium mining companies with comparable market capitalizations (30% of the total LTIP weighting at 100% of target). Share price performance was determined by comparing the performance of the Common Shares over the three-year period ending December 31, 2022 to the performance of other publicly traded uranium companies with similar market capitalizations as of the date the above metrics were set. Return to shareholders was measured as the percentage increase in the Company's share price over the three-year period ending December 31, 2022. Specifically, 100% of target required that the Company's share price performance during 2022 be within the second quartile of the share price performance of all such publicly traded uranium companies; 150% of target required the Company's share price performance to be within the first quartile of the share price performance of all such publicly traded uranium companies; 50% of target required the Company's share price performance to be within the third quartile of the share price performance of all such publicly traded uranium companies; and 0% of target resulted if the Company's share price performance was in the fourth quartile of the share price performance of all such publicly traded uranium companies.

To determine the share price performance of the Company relative to publicly traded uranium companies with similar market capitalizations as of the date the LTIP metrics were set, the Company used the opening market price as of January 2, 2020 and the closing market price as of December 30, 2022 of each publicly traded uranium company that started the three-year period with the established base market capitalization.

Based on this analysis, the Company's share price performance during the three-year period ending December 31, 2022 ranked fifth out of twelve total companies, thereby falling within the second quartile of publicly traded uranium companies with similar market capitalizations. This resulted in 100% of target being achieved. As a result, a full weighting of 30% was achieved for this performance goal.

• ESG Goal: Advance Long-Term REE Initiatives

Under this performance goal, the Company was required to advance its long-term REE initiatives (15% of the total LTIP weighting at 100% of target). Specifically, 100% of target required the Company to enter into one or more non-binding arrangements with one or more monazite producers, resulting in securing a stipulated quantity of expected monazite sand supply per year for at least 15 years; 150% of target required the Company to enter into binding arrangements with one or more monazite producers, resulting in securing a stipulated greater quantity of expected monazite sand supply per year for at least 15 years; 50% of target required the Company to pursue initiatives intended to result in securing long-term (15+ years) of monazite sand supplies from one or more monazite sand producers; and 0% of target resulted if the Company made no advancements of its long-term REE initiatives during the 2022 year.

The Company achieved this objective through the direct acquisition of the Bahia Project (see "2022 STIP Goals and Performance," above, for additional disclosure on the Bahia Project). As the Company has secured the stipulated greater quantity of expected monazite supply per year for at least 15 years, 150% of target was achieved, resulting in a total weighting of 30% for this performance goal.

• ESG Goal: Advance Long-Term TAT Initiatives

Under this performance goal, the Company was required to advance its long-term TAT initiatives (15% of the total LTIP weighting at 100% of target). Specifically, 100% of target required the Company to enter into one or more non-binding arrangements with a third party for the production of Ra-228, Th-228 and/or Ra-226 on a commercial scale, subject to receipt of required permits and successful production; 150% of target required the Company to enter into one or more binding arrangements with a third party for the production of Ra-228, Th-228 and/or Ra-226 on a commercial scale, subject to receipt of required permits and successful production; 50% of target required the Company to pursue initiatives with a third party for the production of Ra-228, Th-228 and/or Ra-226 on a commercial scale, subject to receipt of required permits and successful production; and 0% of target resulted it the Company did not advance its long-term TAT initiatives during the 2022 year.

The Company has pursued off-take agreements with several third parties for the production of Ra-228, Th-228 and/or Ra-226 on a commercial scale, subject to receipt of required permits and successful production, during the 2022 year. As such, 50% of target was achieved, resulting in a total weighting of 7.50% for this performance goal.

• Secure Additional Activities

Under this performance goal, the Company was required to pursue additional activities that were expected to result in a net cash increment to the Company beyond 2022 (10% of the total LTIP weighting at 100% of target). Specifically, 100% of target required the Company to pursue additional activities that were expected to result in a net cash increment to the Company beyond 2022; 150% of target required the Company to secure additional activities that were expected to result in a net cash increment to the Company beyond 2022 of $5 million or greater over any two-year period; 50% and 0% of target resulted if the Company did not pursue any such additional activities.

During 2022, the Company secured additional activities that are expected to result in a net cash increment to the Company beyond 2022 of $5 million or greater over any two-year period. Specifically, the Company was awarded a contract in mid-December 2022 to sell 300,000 pounds of U.S origin uranium to the DOE at a premium to current spot market prices, resulting in an unbudgeted net cash increment from sales beyond 2022 of approximately $4.2 million, which was realized in January 2023, and in mid-2022 the Company entered into three long-term uranium sales contracts, resulting in unbudgeted positive cash inflows in 2023 and beyond.

As the Company has entered into additional activities that are expected to result in a net cash increment to the Company beyond 2022 of $5 million or more over a two-year period, 150% of target was achieved. As a result, a total weighting of 15% for this performance goal was achieved.

• Scalability of Uranium and Vanadium Production

Under this performance goal, management was required to secure a number of target permits or milestones during the 2022 year (5% of the total LTIP weighting at 100% of target). Specifically, 100% of target required the Company to obtain any two of the 11 target permits or milestones during the year; 150% of target required the Company to obtain any three or more of the 11 target permits or milestones during the 2022 year; 50% of target required the Company to obtain any one of the 11 target permits or milestones during the 2022 year; and 0% of target resulted if the Company obtained none of the 11 target permits or milestones during the 2022 year.

For purposes of this performance goal, the 11 target permits and milestones for the year are the following:

1. Obtain the Roca Honda revised dewatering permit;

2. Obtain the draft Roca Honda National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;

3. Obtain the U.S. Forest Service's acceptance of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants modeling for the Roca Honda project;

4. Conclude a long-term access agreement with a private landholder for the Roca Honda project;

5. Settle the appeal of the Mill License and Groundwater Discharge Permit renewals at the Mill, or alternatively obtain a favorable decision from an administrative law judge appointed by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality on either the Mill License or Groundwater Discharge Permit renewals;

6. Obtain a permit, permit amendment or administrative approval or concurrence to allow for the recovery of copper at the Mill;

7. Obtain approval of Cells 5a and 5b at the Mill;

8. Delineate sufficient additional resources at Alta Mesa (subsequently sold to enCore in February 2023, see "Sale of Alta Mesa ISR Project," above) to support a wellfield development plan needed for a permit application for such wellfield;

9. Submit the foregoing permit application for an additional wellfield at Alta Mesa;

10. Obtain a favorable decision from the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on the Pinyon Plain Mine litigation; and

11. Obtain an individual aquifer protection permit for the Pinyon Plain mine.

In 2022, the Company achieved the milestones set out in (10) and (11), above. As the Company has achieved two of the eleven target Permits or Milestones during the year, 100% of target was achieved, resulting in a total weighting of 5% for this performance goal.

• Subjective Component

Under this performance goal, each Senior Executive Officer was given a subjective evaluation specific to the Senior Executive Officer's particularized roles and responsibilities within the Company (20% of the total LTIP weighting at 100% of target).

With respect to the Subjective Component, 150% of target was achieved by the Senior Executive Officers, which resulted in a weighting of 30% for this performance goal for the Senior Executive Officers. In making this conclusion, the Compensation Committee considered the 2022 Subjective Factors described under 2022 STIP Goals and Performance, above.

There were also no health or safety factors to apply to reduce the foregoing results in the 2022 year. As stated above, the Company had a good safety record for 2022, with no lost-time accidents and only one reportable medical aid across its facilities.

Based on this analysis, the combined LTIP performance weighting for 2022 was 117.5%. Accordingly, the equity awards granted to Senior Executive Officers for their performance in 2022 were determined by the Compensation Committee at its January 2023 meeting to be 117.5% of each Senior Executive Officer's target equity award amount. The following table shows the resulting equity awards (in the form of RSUs) to the Senior Executive Officers for 2022 (these equity awards were granted in 2023 for performance in 2022 but are not included in NEO compensation for 2022 in this Proxy Statement because they were granted in 2023. They will be included in NEO compensation for 2023 in next year's Proxy Statement):

Senior Executive Officer	2022 Salary as of December 31, 2022 (US$)	Target Equity Award Percentage	Target Equity Award (US$ value of RSU grants)	LTIP Performance Weighting	Actual Equity Awarded for 2022 (US$ value of RSU grants)
Mark S. Chalmers President and CEO	$528,000	120%	$633,600	117.5%	$744,480
David C. Frydenlund Executive VP, CLO and Corporate Secretary⁽¹⁾	$378,994	100%	$378,994	117.5%	$445,318
Tom L. Brock CFO⁽²⁾	$340,000⁽⁴⁾	75%	$255,000	117.5%	$299,625
John L. Uhrie COO⁽³⁾	$340,000⁽⁵⁾	75%	$255,000	117.5%	$299,625
Curtis H. Moore, Senior VP, Marketing and Corporate Development	$218,353	40%	$87,341	117.5%	$102,626

Notes:

(1) Mr. Frydenlund ceased to be the Company's CFO and General Counsel and assumed his appointment as the Company's Executive VP, CLO and Corporate Secretary effective August 8, 2022.

(2) Mr. Brock was appointed to serve as the Company's CFO effective August 8, 2022.

(3) Mr. Uhrie was appointed to serve as the Company's COO effective August 1, 2022.

(4) The pro rata portion of Mr. Brock's 2022 Salary actually earned in 2022 was $161,151.

(5) The pro rata portion of Mr. Uhrie's 2022 Salary actually earned in 2022 was $141,589.

The LTIP applies only to the Senior Executive Officers. Equity awards to the other executives are determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee based on the overall financial performance of the Company, levels of equity awards provided by benchmark companies, the level of responsibility of the executive as well as the executive's impact or contribution to the longer-term operating performance of the Company, and individual performance of the executive based on recommendations and general input from the CEO.

Annual Stock Appreciation Right Grants

On January 26, 2023, the Board approved a SAR Plan for the Company, which provides key parameters pursuant to which the Board, in its complete discretion, may make annual SAR grants to senior management personnel and others performing those roles. Prior to implementation of the SAR Plan in January 2023, the Board granted SARs on an ad hoc basis in 2019 and 2022. The SAR Plan provides an added level of equity performance awards that are intended to incentivize management to achieve the Company's strategic long-term goals over the specified term of the SARs, based on significant common share price growth objectives, and to reward management for achieving those growth objectives. Under the SAR Plan, senior management personnel will generally be granted SARs having a value equal to 50% of the value of their RSU grants under the LTIP or otherwise. The term of each SAR grant will be five (5) years from the date of grant and will vest in three separate tranches according to increasingly high NYSE American closing prices of the Company's common shares, known as "Vesting Trigger Prices." All SAR grants have a one (1)-year holding period from the date of grant during which any vested SARs may not be exercised. The SAR grants are discretionary, and the size of the grants and the terms and conditions of the grants are in the discretion of the Board and may vary from the terms and conditions described above.

At its meeting in January 2023, in accordance with the SAR Plan, the Company made an annual grant of SARs to its NEOs, other senior management personnel and certain other personnel for 2022, in addition to the normal grant of RSUs under the Company's LTIP and normal equity grants process (for non-Senior Executive Officers and other employees and Directors) described above for 2022. These SARs were granted in 2023 for performance in 2022 but are not included in NEO compensation for 2022 in this Proxy Statement because they were granted in 2023. They will be included in NEO compensation for 2023 in next year's Proxy Statement. These SARS are intended to provide additional long-term performance-based equity incentives for the Company's senior management. The SAR Plan now sets out the general criteria on which the Company plans to grant SARs on an annual basis, as equity awards in addition to but separate from RSU grants under the LTIP. The SARs are purely performance based because they only vest upon the achievement of aggressive performance goals designed to significantly increase shareholder value. If those goals are not met, the SARs do not vest. Each SAR granted for 2022 entitles the holder, on exercise, to a payment in cash or shares (at the election of the Company) equal to the difference between the market price of the Common Shares at the time of exercise and $7.36 (the market price at the time of grant) over a five-year period, but vest only upon the achievement of the following performance goals: as to one-third of the SARs granted upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding $12.00 for any continuous 90-calendar-day period; as to an additional one-third of the SARs granted, upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding $14.00 for any continuous 90-calendar-day period; and as to the final one-third of the SARs granted, upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding $16.00 for any continuous 90-calendar-day period. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, no SARs may be exercised by the holder for an initial period of one year from the date of grant; the date first exercisable being January 26, 2024. As a result, the SARs granted for 2022 are a long-term equity incentive (not exercisable until after one-year after grant) and are 100% performance based. If management does not perform to achieve the stipulated vesting share price levels, the SARs will have no value on exercise.

The SARs granted to the NEOs for 2022 performance, in addition to the RSUs described above, were as follows:

Named Executive Officer⁽¹⁾	Value of SARs Granted (US$)	Number of SARs Granted
Senior Executive Officers
Mark S. Chalmers President and CEO	$316,800	91,826
David C. Frydenlund Executive VP, CLO and Corporate Secretary⁽²⁾	$189,497	54,926
Tom L. Brock CFO⁽³⁾	$127,500	36,956
John L. Uhrie COO⁽⁴⁾	$127,500	36,956
Curtis H. Moore, Senior VP, Marketing and Corporate Development	$43,671	12,658

Notes:

(1) The SARs were valued by a third-party valuation firm for a Monte Carlo Fair Value of $3.45 per SAR.

(2) Mr. Frydenlund ceased to be the Company's CFO and General Counsel and assumed his appointment as the Company's Executive VP, CLO and Corporate Secretary effective August 8, 2022.

(3) Mr. Brock was appointed to serve as the Company's CFO effective August 8, 2022.

(4) Mr. Uhrie was appointed to serve as the Company's COO effective August 1, 2022.

Consideration of Risks Associated with Compensation Policies

Compensation Policies and Practices

The Compensation Committee considers the implications of risks associated with compensation policies and practices by working closely with the CEO. The CEO is tasked with ensuring that: (i) fair and competitive practices are followed regarding employee compensation at all levels of the Company; (ii) the compensation practices do not encourage an NEO or individual at a principal business unit or division to take inappropriate or excessive risk or that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company; and (iii) compensation policies and practices include regulatory, environmental compliance and sustainability as part of the performance metrics used in determining compensation. The CEO's recommendations on these matters are taken into consideration by the Compensation Committee when reviewing and recommending to the Board the Company's compensation policies.

Restrictions on Hedging Transactions

The Company has in place an Insider Trading Policy, to be reviewed and approved by the Board annually, which includes a section on "Hedging Transactions" that restricts NEOs and directors from purchasing financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, which are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director.

Claw-Back Policy

The Company has adopted an Incentive Compensation Claw-Back Policy (the "Claw-Back Policy") which applies to all short-term and long-term cash and equity incentive compensation including, without limitation, cash bonus compensation and equity grants made under the Company's Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, STIP, LTIP, SAR Plan and/or Board or Company discretion (collectively, "Incentive Compensation"). The Claw-Back Policy applies to all current and former executive officers and salaried management personnel (management directors, controller, assistant controller and officers) who are or were eligible to receive Incentive Compensation from the Company (the "Senior Employees").

Under the Claw-Back Policy, the Board may, in its sole discretion, to the full extent permitted by governing laws and to the extent it determines that it is in the Company's best interest to do so, seek reimbursement, reduction, cancelation, forfeiture, repurchase, recoupment and/or offset against future discretionary grants or awards, in whole or in part, of Incentive Compensation from the Senior Employee in situations where:

(a) the amount of Incentive Compensation received by the Senior Employee was calculated based upon, or contingent on, the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of or affected by a material restatement of all or a portion of the Company's financial statements;

(b) the amount of Incentive Compensation received by the Senior Employee was calculated based upon, or contingent on, the achievement of certain financial or other target goals that were subsequently found to have been the subject of or affected by a material misstatement or miscalculation;

(c) the Senior Employee engaged in gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement referred to in paragraph (a) or the misstatement or miscalculation referred to in paragraph (b);

(d) the Incentive Compensation received by the Senior Employee would have been lower had the financial results contemplated by paragraph (a) been properly reported or had the misstatement or miscalculation contemplated by paragraph (b) not occurred.

Such reimbursement, reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, repurchase, recoupment and/or offset against future discretionary grants or awards shall not exceed the amount by which the Incentive Compensation received by such Senior Employee, and amounts paid or payable pursuant or with respect thereto, exceeded that which the Senior Employee would have received had the financial results been properly reported or absent the misstatement or miscalculation.

All Senior Employees are required to acknowledge and agree to comply with the Claw-Back Policy.

In October 2022, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued its final clawback rule as Rule 10D-1, thereby implementing the requirements of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which directs national securities exchanges and associations to establish listing standards requiring companies to adopt policies that require executive officers, any other officer who performs a policy-making function, or any other person who performs a similar policy-making function for the issuer, to pay back incentive-based compensation that they were awarded erroneously. As the Company's Common Shares are listed on the NYSE American, it will be required to comply with NYSE American's listing rules within 90 days after they become effective (the latest permissible date for the NYSE American being November 28, 2023). Once the NYSE American's proposed listing rules are finalized, the Company will review its Claw-Back Policy and make any necessary updates to ensure compliance.

Performance Graph

The performance graph below shows Energy Fuels' cumulative total 5-year return based on an initial investment of $100 in Energy Fuels Common Shares beginning on December 31, 2018, as compared with the Russell 2000 Index, NYSE American Natural Resources Index, NYSE Composite, NASDAQ Composite, and a peer group consisting of Cameco, NexGen Energy, Fission Uranium, Uranium Energy Corp, Ur-Energy, Paladin Energy, GoviEx Uranium, Denison Mines, Deep Yellow Ltd., Peninsula Energy and Boss Resources. The chart shows yearly performance marks over a five-year period. This performance chart assumes: (1) $100 was invested on December 31, 2017 in Energy Fuels common shares along with the Russell 2000 Index, NYSE American Natural Resources Index, NYSE Composite, NASDAQ Composite, and the peer group's common stock; and (2) all dividends are reinvested. Dates on the chart represent the last trading day of the indicated fiscal year.

Notes:

(1) This peer group represents a broad range of companies operating within the U.S. uranium industry generally and is distinct from the more select peer group used for the Company's executive officer compensation decisions as reported in this Proxy Statement, including the January 2022 Peer Group and January 2023 Peer Group.

Notes:

(1) All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.

The Company's compensation to executive officers has generally increased during the five most recently completed fiscal years, in part due to the competition among organizations operating in the natural resources sector to attract and retain the best possible executives, who are uniquely positioned through their experience and expertise to provide leadership during economic downturns and to maximize on any interim opportunities to increase shareholder value and boost production. In 2022, 20% increases were made to the 2021 levels of senior executive and director compensation.

The total cumulative shareholder return for an investment in the Common Shares increased during 2018 but decreased during 2019, along with the peer group to levels consistent with the NYSE American Natural Resources Index and the NYSE Composite Index, due in large part to the July 12, 2019 decision of former President Trump to deny the Company's Section 232 Petition's request for trade relief and to instead form the U.S. Nuclear Fuel Working Group in order "to ensure a comprehensive review of the entire domestic nuclear supply chain." The total shareholder return started to increase again in 2020 with a 123% increase in the Company's share price as of the 2020 year-end. Then, in 2021, the Company's share price increased a further 79% by year end but subsequently decreased by 19% as of the 2022 year-end, which constituted a total share-price gain since December 31, 2017 of 347%.

Equity Incentive Awards

A 2013 stock option plan (the "2013 Option Plan") had been used for the grant of stock options prior to 2015. The Equity Incentive Plan was adopted in January 2015 and amended and re-approved by shareholders in both 2018 and 2021, and provides for the award of stock options, SARs, restricted stock and RSUs, deferred share units, performance shares, performance units, and stock-based units, at the discretion of the Board. The 2013 Option Plan was terminated upon adoption of the Equity Incentive Plan, and all stock options previously granted pursuant to the 2013 Option Plan that were then outstanding were incorporated into the Equity Incentive Plan and treated as Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan.

The Equity Incentive Plan describes all of the types of equity compensation that may be awarded by the Board and gives the Board broad discretion with respect to equity grants to all directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The LTIP applies only to Senior Executive Officers and sets out the performance goals that must be met by senior management in connection with any such grant of equity.

In 2022, RSUs were granted to all Directors, Executive Officers and other senior management personnel, and stock options were granted to other Company employees. In addition, SARs were granted to NEOs, other senior management personnel and certain other personnel in 2022.

As discussed above, equity awards are granted in consideration of the level of responsibility of the executive as well as such executive's impact or contribution to the longer-term operating performance of the Company. All equity grants are approved by the Board, based on recommendations from the Compensation Committee. Generally, in determining the equity incentive awards to be granted to the NEOs, equity grants are set at competitive levels relative to equity awards granted by the peer group as a percent of base salary, consistent with any equity award targets that may be set out in the NEO's employment agreements, and recognizing the level of experience and seniority of the Company's senior management team, in order to provide incentive to improve the retention of executives. The Board may also take into account the Compensation Committee's recommendation to the Board and the Board's assessment of the performance of the Company overall, the Company's specific projects and the NEO's individual contribution to that performance. Equity incentives granted to NEOs may be made subject to specific vesting requirements, which may include vesting over a particular period of time or in response to the achievement of performance-based metrics.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table shows the compensation earned by each of the Company's NEOs over the last three fiscal years. The compensation of the NEOs is paid and reported in U.S. dollars.

					Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation (US$)

Notes:

(1) The share-based awards were comprised of RSUs, which were granted in 2020 for performance in 2019; in 2021 for performance in 2020; and in 2022 for performance in 2021. The fair value of each RSU award granted was calculated as the higher of (a) the closing trading price on the NYSE American on the last trading day prior to the date of grant of the RSU, or (b) the VWAP on the NYSE American for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the date of grant of the RSU. RSUs granted in 2023 for performance in 2022 are not included in this table. See the "Equity Grants in 2023 for Performance in 2022" table below for RSUs granted in 2023 for performance in 2022.

(2) Option-based awards granted for 2022 were in the form of SARs granted in January 2022 for performance in 2021. Each SAR granted in 2022 for performance in 2021 entitles the holder, on exercise, to a payment in cash or Common Shares (at the election of the Company) equal to the difference between the market price of the Common Shares at the time of exercise and the grant price of $6.47 (calculated as the greater of the closing price of the Common Shares on the NYSE American on the trading day prior to the date of grant and the VWAP on the NYSE American for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the date of grant) over a five-year period, but vest only upon the achievement of the following performance goals: as to one-third of the SARs granted upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American equalling or exceeding $12.00 for any continuous 90-calendar-day period; as to an additional one-third of the SARs granted, upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American equalling or exceeding $14.00 for any continuous 90-calendar-day period; and as to the final one-third of the SARs granted, upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American equalling or exceeding $16.00 for any 90-calendar-day period. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, none of the SARs granted in 2022 may be exercised by the holder for an initial period of one year from the date of grant; the date first exercisable being January 25, 2023. The fair value of the SARs was determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 by a third-party valuation firm to be $3.60 per SAR, based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The amounts shown in the above table assume the probable outcome of the underlying performance conditions. At maximum performance, the grant date fair value of the awards are:

Name	2022 SARs Granted (#)	Maximum Fair Value ($)
Mark S. Chalmers	361,111	3,441,388
David C. Frydenlund	180,555	1,720,689
Tom L. Brock	Nil	Nil
John L. Uhrie	Nil	Nil
Curtis H. Moore	22,222	211,776

In making the foregoing calculations, it was assumed that all of the 2022 SARs vested at the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American of $16.00, resulting in a value of $9.53 per SAR, being $16.00 less the grant price of $6.47 per SAR. The values shown have not been adjusted to reflect that these SARs are subject to forfeiture. SARs granted in 2023 for performance in 2022 are not included in this table. See the "Equity Grants in 2023 for Performance in 2022" table below for SARs granted in 2023 for performance in 2022.

(3) Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation: Annual incentive plans are comprised of cash bonuses. Cash bonuses earned in a year are based on the performance during that year in accordance with the Company's STIP, as determined and paid in January of the following year. The amounts reflected in this table are the cash bonuses earned in the year shown, notwithstanding that they were paid in January of the following year.

(4) These amounts include retirement savings benefits contributed by the Company under the Company's 401(k) plan, and compensation related to automotive vehicles provided to certain qualifying executives.

(5) Mr. Frydenlund ceased to be the Company's CFO and General Counsel and assumed his appointment as the Company's Executive VP, CLO and Corporate Secretary effective August 8, 2022.

(6) Mr. Brock commenced employment with the Company on July 11, 2022 and was appointed to serve as the Company's CFO effective August 8, 2022.

(7) Mr. Uhrie commenced employment with the Company and was appointed to serve as the Company's COO effective August 1, 2022.

(8) Non-prorated salary as of December 31, 2022 was $340,000.

Notes:

(1) For 2022, the Fair-Value of Stock Awards as Determined in Accordance with the SEC's CAP Methodology for the Principal Executive Officer was calculated as $1,840,035 for awards granted during the year that remain unvested, less a decrease of $936,552 for changes in the fair value for awards granted in prior years that remain unvested, less a decrease of $272,426 for RSU awards that vested during the year due to a decrease in the share price from $7.63 on December 31, 2021 to the vested share price of $5.65 on January 27, 2022, totaling a net amount for the Fair-Value of Stock Awards as Determined in Accordance with the SEC's CAP Methodology during 2022 of $631,057. The Compensation actually paid to the Principal Executive Officer in 2022 using the SEC's CAP methodology was then calculated as the Principal Executive Officer's Total Compensation for 2022 as set out in the Summary Compensation Table, less the amount reported in the Summary Compensation Table for Stock Awards made to the Principal Executive Officer, plus the Fair-Value of Stock Awards as Determined in Accordance with the SEC's CAP Methodology. This resulted in Compensation Actually Paid to the Principal Executive Officer in 2022 of $1,484,907. For 2021, the Fair-Value of Stock Awards as Determined in Accordance with the SEC's CAP Methodology for the Principal Executive Officer was calculated as $1,000,331 for awards granted during the year that remain unvested, plus an increase of $1,281,388 for changes in the fair value for awards granted in prior years that remain unvested, plus an addition of $2,768,623 for awards that vested during the year, nearly all of which were related to SARs with an exercise price of $2.92 whereby the share price was $7.14 on March 17, 2021 for the vesting of the first tranche and $9.77 on November 3, 2021 for the vesting of the second tranche, totaling $5,050,342, resulting in Compensation Actually Paid to the Principal Executive Officer using this methodology of $5,793,092 for 2021. For 2020, the Fair-Value of Stock Awards as Determined in Accordance with the SEC's CAP Methodology for the Principal Executive Officer was calculated as $461,588 for awards granted during the year that remain unvested, plus an increase of $1,950,026 for changes in the fair value for awards granted in prior years that remain unvested, less a decrease of $47,018 for awards that vested during the year due to a decrease in the share price from $1.91 on December 31, 2019 to the vested share price of $1.61 on January 27, 2020, totaling $2,364,596, resulting in Compensation Actually Paid to the Principal Executive Officer using this methodology of $3,025,346 for 2020. For 2022, the Fair-Value of Stock Awards as Determined in Accordance with the SEC's CAP Methodology for the average of other NEOs was calculated as $344,901 for awards granted during the year that remain unvested, less a decrease of $201,080 for changes in the fair value for awards granted in prior years that remain unvested, less a decrease of $53,222 for RSU awards that vested during the year due to a decrease in the share price from $7.63 on December 31, 2021 to the vested share price of $5.65 on January 27, 2022, totaling $90,600, resulting in Compensation Actually Paid to the average of other NEOs using this methodology of $427,754 for 2022. For 2021, the Fair-Value of Stock Awards as Determined in Accordance with the SEC's CAP Methodology for the average of other NEOs was calculated as $242,273 for awards granted during the year that remain unvested, plus an increase of $404,704 for changes in the fair value for awards granted in prior years that remain unvested, plus an addition of $331,200 for awards that vested during the year , nearly all of which were related to SARs with an exercise price of $2.92 whereby the share price was $7.14 on March 17, 2021 for the vesting of the first tranche and $9.77 on November 3, 2021 for the vesting of the second tranche, totaling $978,177, resulting in Compensation Actually Paid to the average of other Neos using this methodology of $1,275,744 for 2021. For 2020, the Fair-Value of Stock Awards as Determined in Accordance with the SEC's CAP Methodology for the average of other NEOs was calculated as $150,188 for awards granted during the year that remain unvested, plus an increase of $205,953 for changes in the fair value for awards granted in prior years that remain unvested, less a decrease of $15,249 for awards that vested during the year due to a decrease in the share price from $1.91 on December 31, 2019 to the vested share price of $1.61 on January 27, 2020, less a reduction of $230,930 for awards that were forfeited during the year, totaling $109,962, resulting in Compensation Actually Paid to the average of other Neos using this methodology of $521,238 for 2020.

(2) This amount includes severance payments of $803,925 paid to Mr. Paul Goranson and $184,000 paid to Mr. Matt Tarnowski on their termination of employment in 2020.

The fair value of Common Share awards includes the value of both RSU awards and performance-based SAR awards granted as of December 31, 2022, excluding those SAR awards made in 2023 for performance in 2022, which will be disclosed in next year's Proxy Statement. The measurement date fair value of RSU awards was determined based on the higher of (i) the five-day volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's Common Shares on the NYSE American ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of grant, and (ii) the market closing price of the Company's Common Shares on the NYSE American on the trading day immediately prior to the date of grant. The SAR awards include three (3) tiered, market-based vesting components that require the sustained retention of set Common Share values, each over a 90-calendar-day period within the grant's five-year term. While market-based, the SARs are nonetheless viewed as performance-based instruments because they only vest upon the achievement of performance goals designed to significantly increase TSR, which the Company directly links to management's performance in developing, implementing and growing its initiatives, all while balancing compensation incentives with risk management. The measurement date fair value of the market-based component of the performance share awards was determined using a Monte Carlo fair value simulation model incorporating the assumptions outlined below.

Grant Year	2019				2022
Measurement Date	12/31/2019	12/31/2020	12/31/2021	12/31/2022	12/31/2022

Compensation Actually Paid Versus Financial Performance Measures

The following disclosure summarizes the relationship between each of the financial performance measures in the pay versus performance table above and CAP to our President and CEO and, on average, to our other NEOs, for each of the three years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Relationship Between Executive Compensation Actually Paid and the Cumulative Total Shareholder Return Over the Last Three Years

TSR is one factor taken into account in the Company's compensation decisions. The Company's TSR for the period December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020 was 138% (an increase in the $100 fixed investment made in 2017 from $100.00 to $237.99 over that time period) compared to 54.7% (an increase from $100.00 to $154.70) for the Company's peer group of uranium companies. This significant TSR on the Company's shares, along with other factors, was taken into account in connection with the increases in total compensation paid to the Company's President and CEO and other NEOs in 2021 compared to 2020. Increases in TSR also contributed to significant increases in the CAP to the CEO and other NEOS in 2020 and 2021 through the vesting of securities and the appreciation in the value of unvested securities held by those individuals during those years. The Company's TSR for 2021 was 79.1% (an increase in the $100 fixed investment during 2021 from $237.99 to $426.26 over the year), which, along with other factors, was reflected in an increase in the total compensation paid to the President and CEO and other NEOs in 2022 compared to 2021. However, due to a reduction in the Company's TSR in 2022, as was the case for most of the other industry TSR indices during 2022, these increases in compensation were significantly offset, resulting in a lower CAP for 2022 compared to 2021 and 2020 for the CEO and other NEOs. Over the five-year period, December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2022, the Company's TSR was 246.90% (an increase from $100.00 to $346.93 over that time period) compared to 218.52% (an increase from $100.00 to $318.52) for the Company's uranium peers. Other factors that contributed to increases in compensation levels for the President and CEO and other NEOs of the Company over the last three years were: the increase in the market capitalization of the Company and an increase in the size of other companies in the Company's peer group used for compensation decisions; and the success of the Company in a number of its initiatives, including its recently acquired uranium contracts and sales; its readiness to commence production at a number of its uranium mines; and the development of its REE business.

Relationship Between Executive Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income Over the Last Three Years

The Company is in an industry that is heavily dependent on the price of uranium and vanadium. When these commodity prices are high, development, extraction, production and related operations can be ramped up and in full swing. However, when commodity prices are low, operations and other development activities are generally curtailed, and properties and facilities are placed on standby or are potentially shut down. During periods of low uranium and vanadium commodity prices, which the Company has experienced in varying degrees over the last several years, industry participants can face negative cashflows and losses and are often tasked with minimizing those negative cashflows and losses, while at the same time maintaining their valuable assets in a state of readiness for a ramp-up when commodity prices recover. As a result of this heavy reliance on commodity prices and large fluctuations in cashflows and income and losses, typical performance metrics, such as net income or loss, earnings per share, revenue growth, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, etc. are not always meaningful to the Company. Further, the Company's share price and TSR are heavily impacted by commodity price changes and expectations of future commodity price changes, which are often unrelated to net income and other typical performance measures for companies whose operations are on standby. As a result, the CAP to the CEO and other NEOs can be heavily influenced by the impact of share price fluctuations on unvested securities, which can often outweigh any impacts that changes in net income and other typical performance metrics may have on CAP.

For example, net income (loss) for the Company is currently not a meaningful metric to measure against the compensation of our President and CEO and other NEOs. Uranium prices have been low during most of the period 2020 through 2022, so the Company along with its uranium peers has been managing negative cash flows and losses during such periods. Although uranium prices have risen in 2022, and the Company has been rehabilitating and developing a number of its standby mines for future production, all those rehabilitation and development expenses have been required to be expensed, rather than capitalized, because the Company has not had any mineral reserves, under U.S. definitions, at any of its standby uranium mines. In addition, the Company has been required to expense a portion of its development expenses for its REE initiative over those years.

These factors have resulted in approximately $27.8 million in net losses for the Company in 2020. The Company had net income of approximately $1.5 million in 2021, due primarily to the sale of several of its non-core properties to CUR during that year. However, that net income did not directly factor into any compensation decisions, as it was not considered by the Company to represent recurring net income. During 2022, the Company had a net loss of approximately $59.9 million which also did not directly factor into compensation decisions. This is because approximately $16.90 million of that loss was due to a non-cash mark-to-market loss on investments accounted for at fair value due primarily to a decrease in the market price of our CUR shares over 2022. In addition, the Company faced increased expenses associated with significantly advancing our uranium, REE and radioisotope initiatives in 2022, including: preparing four (4) of our uranium mines for production; development expenses associated with developing commercial REE separation capabilities in addition to our existing mixed RE Carbonate commercial production capabilities; expenses associated with advancing our medical isotope initiatives; increased transaction expenses arising from costs associated with acquiring our Bahia Project in Brazil and costs associated with the sale of our Alta Mesa project in Texas; and increased other selling, general and administrative expenses associated with significant additions to executive and management/supervisory personnel, enhanced business processes, and other general and administrative expenses required to support all these increased levels of activity. Further, a number of transactions, including the sale of the Company's Alta Mesa project resulted in expenses in 2022 but will result in significant gains or margins in 2023, which could result in net income or reduced net losses in 2023. As a result of all these factors, in our case, net income (loss) is not considered to be an appropriate metric to compare against compensation decisions for the Company's President and CEO and other NEOs.

To address the Company's inability to rely on typical performance metrics, such as net income or loss, earnings per share, revenue growth, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, etc., the Company implemented its STIP in January 2016 and its LTIP in January 2018, which as discussed in more detail above, are intended to set out meaningful performance criteria tailored specifically to the Company, in light of the general inability to rely on more standard performance indicators. The STIP sets short-term performance goals each year that are tied primarily to the Company meeting its annual budget, as set by the Board, as well as the objectives over the year as set out in the Company's long-term strategic plan. Cash bonuses for Senior Executive Officers are awarded each year based on performance relative to the STIP performance goals for the year, as determined by the Board in January of the following year.

As also discussed in more detail above, the LTIP sets long-term performance goals each year tailored specifically to the Company that have implications beyond the current year. Equity awards for Senior Executive Officers are awarded for each year based on performance relative to the LTIP performance goals for the year, as determined by the Board in January of the following year.

Relationship Between Executive Compensation Actually Paid and Net Cash Used in Operating Activities Over the Last Three Years

Although the Company does not rely on Net Cash Used in Operating Activities, per se, in its compensation decisions, one of the performance goals in the Company's STIP over the last several years has been related to Net Recuring and Discretionary Cash Flows, which can be similar to Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. STIP performance goals are typically set to ensure that management meets the Company's budget expectations. Compensation decisions are based in part on how well management manages the Company's annual budget to maintain Net Recurring and Discretionary Cash Flows within budget, while achieving the budgeted initiatives. Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was approximately $32.2 million and $29.3 million in 2020 and 2021 but increased to approximately $49.7 million in 2022, which is consistent with increased budgeted Net Recurring and Discretionary Cash Flows in 2022 compared to previous years as a result of increased budgeted initiatives in 2022 relative to previous years.

Performance Measures

As described in detail above, the performance measures which we believe are most important and are used in our STIP and LTIP in determining compensation paid to each of our NEOs are generally applied equally across each NEO, recognizing the need for all top executives to focus primarily on working as a team to achieve the objective corporate goals set out for the Company in a given year and on a long-term basis. Included in the table below are the most important performance measures used to link compensation actually paid to Company performance, by NEO, for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Equity Grants in 2023 for Performance in 2022

Under the Company's LTIP, equity awards were made in January 2023 for performance during 2022, based on satisfaction of the various performance goals set out in the LTIP for 2022. See "Long-Term Incentives - Equity Compensation" in the Company's Compensation Analysis and Discussion above. The following equity grants were made in January 2023 for performance in 2022 under the Company's LTIP and annual grant of 2023 SARs and are not included in the Summary Compensation Table above, which includes only equity grants made during the relevant fiscal years.

Name and Principal Position	Share Based Awards (US$)⁽¹⁾	Option Based Awards (US$)⁽²⁾
Mark S. Chalmers, President and CEO	744,480	316,800
David C. Frydenlund, Executive VP, CLO and Corporate Secretary	445,318	189,497
Tom L. Brock CFO	299,625	127,500
John L. Uhrie COO	299,625	127,500
Curtis H. Moore, Senior VP, Marketing and Corporate Development	102,626	43,671

Notes:

(1) The share-based awards were comprised of RSUs, which were granted in 2023 for performance in 2022, and which will appear in the Summary Compensation Table in the Proxy Statement Filed in 2024 as compensation for 2023. The fair value of each RSU award granted was calculated as the higher of (a) the closing trading price of the Common Shares on the NYSE American on the last trading day prior to the date of grant of the RSU, or (b) the VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the date of grant of the RSU.

(2) Option-based awards granted in 2023 were in the form of SARs granted in January 2023 for performance in 2022, and which will appear in the Summary Compensation Table in the Proxy Statement filed in 2024 as compensation for 2023. Each SAR granted in 2023 for performance in 2022 entitles the holder, on exercise, to a payment in cash or shares (at the election of the Company) equal to the difference between the market price of the Common Shares at the time of exercise and the grant price of $7.36 (calculated as the greater of the closing price of the Common Shares on the NYSE American on the trading day prior to the date of grant and the VWAP on the NYSE American for the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the date of grant) over a five-year period, but vest only upon the achievement of the following performance goals: as to one-third of the SARs granted upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American equalling or exceeding $12.00 for any continuous 90-calendar-day period; as to an additional one-third of the SARs granted, upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American equalling or exceeding $14.00 for any 90-calendar-day period; and as to the final one-third of the SARs granted, upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the NYSE American equalling or exceeding $16.00 for any 90-calendar-day period. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, no SARs may be exercised by the holder for an initial period of one year from the date of grant; the date first exercisable being January 26, 2024. The fair value of the SARs was determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 by a third-party valuation firm to be $3.45 per SAR, based on a Monte Carlo simulation.

CEO Pay Ratio

We have prepared the ratio of annual total compensation of our CEO, to the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, excluding the CEO. The pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

For 2022, the median of the annual total compensation (comprised of the 2022 base salary, 2022 equity granted, and 2022 cash bonus earned) of all employees of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, excluding the CEO, was $61,010. The annual total compensation of Mark Chalmers, the CEO, was $2,747,850 for 2022, which is the amount reported for Mr. Chalmers in the "Total Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table, above. As a result, for 2022, the ratio of annual total compensation of our CEO, to the median of annual total compensation of all employees of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, other than the CEO, was approximately 45 to 1.

In calculating the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, excluding the CEO, we identified the Company's "median employee" by reviewing the consistently applied compensation measure of annual cash base salary, per payroll records, for all our employees, including the Company's consolidated subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2022, which concluded the last pay period for the 2022 fiscal year. All the Company's full-time and part-time employees were included in the calculation and adjustments were made to annualize base salary for any permanent employees not employed by the Company for the entire fiscal year or any unpaid leave during the fiscal year. We used the annual cash base salary as our consistently applied compensation measure as it represents the primary compensation component paid to all our employees each fiscal year. Once the median employee was identified, we then calculated the median employee's total compensation for 2022 in accordance with the rules for calculating total compensation for the Summary Compensation Table. The CEO was excluded from these calculations.

This pay ratio is an estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on the Company's payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. SEC rules do not specify a single methodology for identification of the median employee or calculation of the pay ratio, and other companies may use assumptions and methodologies that are different from those used by the Company in calculating their pay ratio. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio as reported above.
