RE: Submittal of May 2009 Discharge Monitoring Report
To Whom It May Concern:
Energy Fuels Resources Corporation (Energy Fuels) is providing the attached Discharge
Monitoring Report (DMR) for the month of May 2009. The Whirlwind Mine water
treatment plant is located at 30100 5110 Road, Gateway, Colorado 81522. Discharge of
treated water from the Whirlwind Mine is allowed in accordance with Colorado
Discharge Permit System (CDPS) permit number CO-0047562.
Due to laboratory quality control issues with discharge sample, the sample underwent
several reruns. As a result, this DMR is being submitted past the due date (June 28,
2009). The final data presented in this DMR passed all laboratory internal quality control
requirements. Energy Fuels made Mrs. Kelly Morgan (WQCD Enforcement Unit) aware
of this situation on June 25, 2009 when it became apparent that the DMR would be
submitted past the deadline.
In addition, note that this DMR is signed by Jeff Osborn, General Manager for Energy
Fuels' Colorado and Utah Operations. Also attached is authorization for Mr. Osborn to
sign all reports and other information in relation to the Whirlwind Mine CDPS discharge
permit, signed by Stephen Antony, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
for Energy Fuels.
On November 24, 2008 the Whirlwind Mine was put on stand-by status. At this time, the
mine will continue to be dewatered during stand-by and Energy Fuels will continue to
treat and discharge mine water and to comply with CDPS permit conditions. Mine water
collects in the mine at a slow rate (approximately 2 to 3 gpm) and is being pumped into
the untreated water tank and treated in batch runs, as necessary. Currently, batch runs are
occurring at a rate of approximately one run per month. One batch run occurred from
May 18 to 21, 2009. A monthly discharge sample was collected on May 19, 2009 in
Energy Fuels, Inc. 44 Union Blvd., Suite 600
