Energy Fuels (NYSE:UUUU) has begun producing heavy rare earth element (HREE) oxides at pilot scale at its White Mesa Mill in Utah, marking the only U.S. production from mined ores at a commercial facility. The company expects to produce its first kilogram of Dysprosium oxide within 30 days, followed by 15 kg by September 2025.
The company plans to commence commercial-scale production of Dysprosium, Terbium, and Samarium oxides by Q4 2026 from existing sources and potentially by Q4 2027 from its Donald Project in Australia. The Donald Project contains significant HREE concentrations, with projected Phase 1 production of 7,100 tonnes of rare earth element concentrate annually, representing 250% of U.S. Samarium requirements, 23% of Terbium, and 34% of Dysprosium needs.
Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) reported exceptional uranium production from its Pinyon Plain mine in Arizona, with 638,700 pounds of U3O8 mined during Q2-2025, including 230,661 pounds in June 2025. The mine achieved remarkable uranium grades averaging 3.51% U3O8 in June and 2.23% U3O8 during the second quarter.
The company sold 50,000 pounds of U3O8 on the spot market at an average price of $77.00 per pound during Q2-2025.
