TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire - May 24, 2012) - Energy Fuels Inc. ("Energy Fuels") (TSX:EFR) and Denison Mines Corp. ("Denison") (TSX:DML) (NYSE MKT:DNN) are pleased to announce that the companies have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with respect to the previously announced transaction (the "Transaction") whereby Energy Fuels will acquire all of the shares of the subsidiaries holding Denison's U.S. mining assets and operations (the "US Mining Division") as well as all of the inter-company debt between Denison and the US Mining Division.

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Denison and Energy Fuels have agreed to complete a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Under the Arrangement: (i) Denison will transfer the US Mining Division and related inter-company debt to Energy Fuels in exchange for a promissory note and a nominal amount of cash, (ii) Denison will complete a reorganization of its capital which will include a distribution of the promissory note to its common shareholders on a pro rata basis, and (iii) Energy Fuels will repay the promissory note by issuing 425,441,494 of its common shares to Denison's shareholders. Upon the completion of the Transaction, Denison's shareholders will receive approximately 1.106 common shares of Energy Fuels for each common share of Denison owned and will in aggregate own approximately 66.5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Energy Fuels.

The Arrangement Agreement contains customary covenants by both parties not to solicit offers for competing transactions, a right to match any superior proposal, as well as a reciprocal break fee of Cdn$3.0 million payable upon the termination of the Arrangement Agreement in certain circumstances.

The completion of the Transaction is subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including but not limited to, Energy Fuels and Denison shareholder approval, court and regulatory approvals including acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE MKT exchange and the receipt of third party approvals and consents. Korea Electric Power Corporation ("KEPCO") has determined not to exercise its right of first opportunity provided for in the strategic relationship agreement dated June 15, 2009 among Denison, KEPCO and a subsidiary of KEPCO.

The shareholders of Energy Fuels and Denison will each be asked to approve the Transaction at respective special shareholder meetings to be held in late June 2012.

All of the directors and officers of Energy Fuels who hold shares of Energy Fuels, as well as three of Energy Fuels' other largest shareholders, have entered into support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote in favour of the Transaction at Energy Fuels' shareholder meeting.
