(Energy Fuels: Denver) -- Energy Fuels Inc., a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earth elements, and other critical minerals, announced that it has successfully developed the technology required to produce at scale six of the seven rare earth oxides subject to newly enacted Chinese export controls amid increasing trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
