TORONTO, ONTARIO AND LAKEWOOD, COLORADO, Jan 13, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- Energy Fuels Inc. (nyse mkt:UUUU) CA:EFR -3.01% ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company") today announced that Graham G. Moylan has advised the Company that he will be resigning from his position as Chief Financial Officer effective February 15, 2014, in order to pursue an investment banking opportunity in Toronto. Daniel G. Zang, CPA, the Company's Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer will assume the role of interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company upon Mr. Moylan's departure. Mr. Moylan was appointed the Company's Chief Financial Officer in September 2012, after having spent approximately 7 years in the investment banking industry and acted as the Company's primary investment banker from March 2011 until joining as the Company's CFO.<br /><br />Mr. Moylan stated, "I am very proud of what my colleagues and I have accomplished over the past few years at Energy Fuels. Notwithstanding the challenges Fukushima posed for the uranium industry and its negative impact on the commodity price and valuations within the sector, Energy Fuels has executed an impressive growth strategy. This growth strategy saw the Company progress from being a relatively small uranium developer to a large domestic uranium producer in the U.S. with extensive holdings of uranium resources and substantial development projects. The Company also raised over $50 million in financing and obtained a listing on a recognized US stock exchange during this time. I would like to thank Stephen Antony and the Board of Directors for providing me with this great opportunity."<br /><br />Mr. Zang has many years of experience as Chief Financial Officer, Controller, Chief Accounting Officer and other positions with a number of public and private companies, including Controller and Treasurer of General Moly, Inc. and Vice President and Controller of Cyprus Copper Company, an operating division of Cyprus Minerals Company that earned annual revenues in excess of US$1 billion.<br /><br />Stephen Antony, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Dan Zang, who will be stepping in as interim Chief Financial Officer, has a wealth of experience in senior financial positions with mining and other companies, including in the role of Chief Financial Officer for a public company. Mr. Zang's years of experience in mining operations will benefit the Company as it develops and operates its portfolio of assets during the expected recovery in uranium markets. Mr. Moylan has been instrumental in the Company's growth and development over the last two years, having played a key role in the Company's acquisition of Strathmore Minerals Corp. and other strategic and financial initiatives. We see Graham's new position as an exceptional opportunity, which will also allow Graham to continue to provide financial advice and assistance to the Company as needed, and wish him all the success in the future."<br /><br />About Energy Fuels: Energy Fuels is currently America's largest conventional uranium producer, supplying approximately 25% of the uranium produced in the United States.
