Energy Fuels Inc., a leading U.S. producer of uranium and rare earth elements, has announced the results of its annual and special meeting of shareholders, including the election of Bruce D. Hansen as Chair of the Board. Hansen, with over four decades of mining experience, succeeds J. Birks Bovaird, who remains on the board. This transition comes as the company aims to bolster its position in the critical minerals sector, with CEO Mark S. Chalmers expressing confidence in Hansen's leadership.
The company's operations, including the White Mesa Mill in Utah, the only fully licensed conventional uranium processing facility in the U.S., and its ventures into medical isotopes for cancer treatments, underscore its pivotal role in the energy and minerals industry. Energy Fuels Inc.'s global projects, such as the Kwale HMS project in Kenya and developments in Madagascar, Brazil, and Australia, highlight its commitment to meeting the demand for critical minerals. This leadership change reflects the company's strategic focus on sustainability and expansion, supporting carbon-free nuclear energy and advancing medical treatments.
