Energy Fuels Resources Corp issued the following announcement on Feb. 14.
Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU; TSX: EFR) (“Energy Fuels” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, following the recent appointment of Mark S. Chalmers as President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), the Company has made certain changes to its management team. Mr. David C. Frydenlund, the Company’s previous Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, has been appointed Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), General Counsel and Corporate Secretary effective as of March 2, 2018. Mr. Frydenlund will replace the Company’s current CFO, Daniel G. Zang, who will be leaving the Company on March 1, 2018. Mr. Frydenlund has over 30 years of experience in the legal, financial and capital markets fields, and has worked in the U.S. uranium mining industry since 1997, serving in various legal, regulatory and finance-related capacities, including as CFO of International Uranium Corporation (now Denison Mines Corp.) from 2000-2005. In addition, Mr. W. Paul Goranson, the Company’s previous Executive Vice President of Operations, has been appointed Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) of the Company effective immediately. Mr. Goranson has been with Energy Fuels since June 2015, with the merger of Uranerz Energy Corp., and has over 30 years of mining, processing and regulatory experience in both the conventional and ISR uranium extraction industries. Finally, the Company’s current Controller, Mr. Matthew J. Tarnowski, has been appointed Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) and Controller of the Company effective immediately. Mr. Tarnowski will continue to report to Mr. Zang until March 1, 2018, after which time he will report to Mr. Frydenlund. Mr. Tarnowski has worked with Energy Fuels since June 2011, holding roles of increasing responsibility on the Company’s finance team.
Mark S. Chalmers stated: “Through these management changes, the Company expects to realize cost savings by shrinking the size of our executive team, while also streamlining our management and maintaining a high level of continuity by promoting individuals from within the organization. These three individuals have extensive industry experience, and have each demonstrated exceptional leadership in their respective roles. We are very fortunate to have this much bench strength in our management positions. I look forward to continuing to work with our management team as we continue to grow the Company during these difficult times. I am particularly excited about several Company initiatives we are pursuing, including advancing our pending 232 Petition now before the U.S. Department of Commerce, growing our alternate feed business, securing land cleanup work, evaluating opportunities in vanadium recovery, and of course maintaining and advancing our industry leading, U.S.-based uranium production portfolio.”
