Versant Partners Raises Target on EFR

ROB CHANG, Versant Partners (02/04/2011)
"Glowing with potential: Pinion Ridge Mill license received. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ('CDPHE') has granted Energy Fuels a Radioactive Materials License ('license') for its 500-tpd Piñon Ridge Mill facility to be constructed 12 miles west of Naturita, Colorado. The mill will enable Energy Fuels to process its own material, as well as potentially augment its revenue stream by either toll milling uranium ore from other regional uranium producers or purchasing said material and processing it for sale. It further strengthens the company's position as a potential consolidator of the uranium-rich Uravan Mineral Belt.

Based on a 0.99× multiple to our 2012 NAV of $2.02/share, we are ascribing a target price of $2/share to Energy Fuels. We further note that EFR is trading at an EV/in-situ pounds of U3O8 discount to its development-stage peer group ($7.87/lb. vs. $10.38/lb.). We are transferring coverage with a BUY recommendation, up from a BUY (Speculative) recommendation."
