SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Titan
Uranium USA Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Titan Uranium Inc.,
submitted a 43 CFR 3809 plan of
operations to the BLM Lander Field
Office (LFO) for the Sheep Mountain
Uranium Project (Project) in Fremont
County, Wyoming on June 16, 2011. On
February 29, 2012, Energy Fuels Inc.
PO 00000

acquired Titan Uranium Inc. and all of
its subsidiaries are now wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Energy Fuels Resources
(USA) Inc. (Energy Fuels). Energy Fuels
will continue as the owner and operator
of the Project. Energy Fuels submitted a
revised Plan of Operations to the BLM
on July 9, 2012 and August 27, 2013.
The Project is located 8 miles south of
Jeffrey City, Wyoming, in south-central
Fremont County, in the Crooks GapGreen Mountain Mining District, which
was extensively mined starting in the
1950s. This area lies 62 miles southeast
of Riverton, 67 miles north of Rawlins,
and 105 miles southwest of Casper. The
Project is within the active State of
Wyoming Permit to Mine 381C
administered by the Wyoming
Department of Environmental QualityLand Quality Division (WDEQ–LQD).
Energy Fuels’ revised application to
Permit to Mine 381C was approved in
July 2015. Energy Fuels is currently
considering applying for a U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) Source
Materials License.
Energy Fuels proposes to explore for
and develop uranium reserves to
produce approximately 1.0 million to
2.0 million pounds of U3O8, or
yellowcake, from the uranium ore per
year over an anticipated project life of
20 years. Mining would be completed
using conventional methods including
open pit and underground methods. Ore
processing into yellowcake would occur
either on site using a heap leach and
solvent extraction/ion exchange or off
site using the existing conventional
Sweetwater Uranium Mill
approximately 30 miles to the south.
The boundary of the Sheep Mountain
Project Area is within the active WDEQ–
LQD Permit to Mine 381C Permit Area,
encompassing approximately 3,611
acres (approximately 5.6 square miles),
of which approximately 929 acres
would be disturbed under the Proposed
Action Alternative. Approximately 62
percent (572.5 acres) of the surface
within the proposed action disturbance
area historically was disturbed by
previous mining and exploration
activities.
The Final EIS addresses the direct,
indirect and cumulative impacts of the
proposed action, the No Action
Alternative and the BLM Mitigation
Alternative.
The No Action Alternative, as
required by NEPA, describes conditions
that would occur if the proposed Project
were denied. The No Action Alternative
includes reclamation by Energy Fuels of
approximately 144 acres as required by
the WDEQ–LQD Permit to Mine 381C,
and the reclamation of the existing
McIntosh Pit by the WDEQ-Abandoned
