Paradox Valley is one of the last unspoiled valleys that retains the character of old Colorado.

Over 800 acres of Paradox Valley are about to be turned into a Uranium Mill by Energy Fuels Inc.
Large radioactive tailings piles and evaporation ponds will be left behind forever.
The results will be Real-Estate Devaluation, Family Farms going under from water depletion, Big Government spending on containment forever, Childhood and Elderly Cancers, and potential contamination of the Dolores, San Miguel, and Colorado Rivers.
Trucks will bring Uranium ore, at all hours, from the surrounding region.
The valley experiences earthquakes and has a local desalinization and earth injection project.
Uranium Yellowcake will be shipped out of the country and could end up in unfriendly countries or even terrorist hands.
The operation of commercial nuclear reactors constantly creates Plutonium.
A World Lethal Dose of Plutonium exists.
An individual lethal dose of Plutonium is about 50 millionths of a gram.
Nuclear reactors have produced over 1,200 tons of Plutonium since 1940.
That is enough lethal doses to kill every person on the planet many times over.
A terrorist dirty bomb with only one pound of Plutonium could potentially kill over nine million people.

Energy Fuels to Construct the "Pinon Ridge" Uranium Mill-First Uranium Mill to be Built in the US in 25 Years
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 18, 2007) - Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR) ("Energy Fuels" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that, consistent with our previously announced strategy to become a fully integrated uranium producer, the Company has acquired approximately 1,000 acres of property located west of Naturita, Colorado, in the Paradox Valley of western Montrose County, where it intends to construct its Pinon Ridge Uranium Mill. (emphasis mine...SB)
This mill will be designed as a state-of-the-art conventional uranium/vanadium mill. The site is large enough to accommodate a mill to meet the needs of the Company for at least 30 years of mill operation. The Energy Fuels team responsible for the Pinon Ridge Mill development includes many of the key members of the team that financed and built, for Energy Fuels Nuclear, the last fully operational uranium mill commissioned in the US, the White Mesa Mill in Blanding, Utah.
In light of the status of the various alternatives, it has become apparent that to efficiently execute our long-term growth plans and to provide the maximum possible benefit to Energy Fuels' shareholders, the Company needs to take this step to control the production process from start to finish. In the interim, during licensing and construction, Energy Fuels will continue to pursue other milling opportunities.
