THE COMPANY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	Mar. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
The Company and Description of Business	THE COMPANY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Energy Fuels Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta and was continued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Energy Fuels Inc. and its subsidiary companies (collectively “ the Company ” or “ Energy Fuels ”) are together engaged in conventional and in situ recovery (“ ISR ”) uranium extraction, recovery and sales of uranium from mineral properties and the recycling of uranium-bearing materials generated by third parties, along with the exploration, permitting and evaluation of uranium properties in the United States (the “ U.S. ”). As a part of these activities, the Company also acquires, explores, evaluates and, if warranted, permits uranium properties. The Company’s final uranium product, uranium oxide concentrate (“ U 3 O 8 ” or “ uranium concentrate ”), known more commonly as “yellowcake,” is sold to customers for further processing into fuel for nuclear reactors. The Company also produces vanadium pentoxide (“ V 2 O 5 ”), along with uranium at the White Mesa Mill (the “ White Mesa Mill ” or the “ Mill ”), from certain of its Colorado Plateau properties as market conditions warrant and at times from solutions in its Mill tailings impoundment system. The Mill is also ramping up to commercial production of rare earth element (“ REE ”) carbonate (“ RE Carbonate ”) from various uranium- and REE-bearing materials acquired from third parties and is working on modifications and enhancements at the Mill for the potential production of separated REE oxides. Additionally, the Company is evaluating the potential to recover radioisotopes from its existing process streams at the Mill for use in targeted alpha therapy (“ TAT ”) therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. With its uranium, vanadium, REE and potentially radioisotope production, the Mill is working to establish itself as a critical minerals hub in the U.S. Uranium is the fuel for carbon-free, emission-free baseload nuclear power – one of the cleanest forms of energy in the world. The REEs produced are used to manufacture permanent magnets for electric vehicles, wind turbines and other clean energy and modern technologies. The Company's uranium and REE production and recycling helps Energy Fuels play a part in addressing global climate change and reducing air pollution. Additionally, the radioisotopes, which the Company is evaluating for recovery from its uranium processing streams, have the potential to provide the isotopes needed for emerging TAT cancer-fighting therapeutics. The Company is a “development stage issuer” as defined by S-K 1300, as it is engaged in the preparation of Mineral Reserves for extraction of at least one material property. Mining Activities Mining activities consist of the Mill, multiple conventional mining projects and an ISR mining project (complete with an ISR recovery facility on standby). The most conventional mining projects are located on the Colorado Plateau, including the Pinyon Plain, Whirlwind, La Sal, Bullfrog, Arizona Strip and Roca Honda Projects, all of which are in the vicinity of the Mill, as well as the Sheep Mountain Project located in Wyoming. The ISR project is the Nichols Ranch Project (which includes Jane Dough and Hank Satellite deposits) located in Wyoming. On February 14, 2023, the Company closed on the sale of the Alta Mesa Project. See Note 5 – Property, Plant and Equipment and Mineral Properties for more information. As of March 31, 2023, other than performing rehabilitation and development work on its La Sal, Whirlwind and Pinyon Plain projects, the conventional mining projects in the vicinity of the Mill and Sheep Mountain are on standby and are being evaluated for continued mining activities and/or are in the process of being permitted. The Mill continues to receive third-party uranium-bearing mineralized materials from mining and recycling activities, such as the Mill’s alternate feed program, for processing, continues to expand its REE initiatives, and continues to develop its cancer therapeutics initiatives.

Marketable Securities	MARKETABLE SECURITIES The Company elected the fair value option for its marketable debt securities and convertible note for which changes in fair value are recorded in Other income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The fair value option was elected for these marketable debt securities, as the Company may sell them prior to their stated maturities after consideration of the Company's risk versus reward objectives, as well as its liquidity requirements. The stated contractual maturity dates of marketable debt securities held as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are due in one to two years. The convertible note was received as a partial consideration for the Alta Mesa Transaction (defined in Note 5 – Property, Plant and Equipment and Mineral Properties). The Company elected the fair value option for the secured convertible note (the “ Convertible Note ”), as it has the option of converting into common shares of enCore Energy Corp. (“ enCore ”). Marketable equity securities are measured at fair value as of each reporting date, and unrealized gains (losses) are recorded in Other income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Under the terms of the purchase agreements, the Company entered into mineral rights transfer agreements with the sellers to acquire the 17 mineral sand concessions. The total purchase price under the purchase agreements was $27.50 million, which consisted of $21.60 million due at closing and prior to closing, deposit payments of $5.90 million due upon reaching certain stipulated milestones. Upon final payment on February 10, 2023, the transfer and assignment of the mineral rights was completed (the “ Bahia Closing ”). Additionally, the Company incurred direct deal costs related to such asset acquisition of $1.63 million. The purchase deposit payments and direct transaction costs were capitalized as Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and reclassified to Mineral properties upon closing within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Bahia Closing followed the Brazilian Government ’ s approval of the transfers to Energy Fuels ’ wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary Energy Fuels Brazil Ltda. Alta Mesa Transaction On February 14, 2023, the Company closed on its sale of three wholly owned subsidiaries that together hold Energy Fuels’ Alta Mesa ISR Project to enCore for total consideration of $120 million (the “ Alta Mesa Transaction ”), paid as follows: a. $60 million cash, which included $6 million prior to closing and $54 million at closing; and b. $60 million in the Convertible Note, payable in two years from the closing, bearing annual interest of eight percent (8%). The Convertible Note is convertible at Energy Fuels’ election into enCore common shares at a conversion price of $2.9103 per share, being a 20% premium to the 10-day volume-weighted average price of enCore shares ending the day before the Closing (the “ Conversion Option ”). enCore is currently traded on the TSX-V and NYSE American. The Convertible Note is guaranteed by enCore and fully secured by Alta Mesa. Unless a block trade or similar distribution is executed by Energy Fuels to sell the enCore common shares received on conversion of the Convertible Note, Energy Fuels will be limited to selling a maximum of $10 million of common shares per thirty (30)-day period. The Company recognized a gain on sale of assets from the Alta Mesa Transaction of $116.45 million, which is calculated as the total fair value of the consideration received of $119.46 million consisting of $60 million in cash and the Convertible Note with a fair value of $59.46 million, less the net book value attributable to the Alta Mesa ISR project assets and liabilities of $3.34 million, net of transaction costs. Receipt of the Convertible Note represents a non-cash investing activity at its initial fair value. See Note 13 – Fair Value Accounting for more information on the fair value of the Note. In addition, after the closing of the transaction, enCore was required to replace the $3.59 million of reclamation bonds that existed for the Alta Mesa project. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has received $3.48 million cash as a release of collateral from those bonds, which it has reclassified from Property, plant and equipment and other assets held for sale, net to cash and cash equivalents on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At closing, the PFN Assets, which the Company had purchased in 2020 for cash consideration of $0.5 million, had a net book value of $0.35 million. The PFN Assets were used exclusively at the Alta Mesa ISR Project. Should the Company have the need for the use of a PFN tool in the future, the Company retained a 20-year usage right as a condition of this sale during which, subject to the availability of the PFN Assets, the Company has the right to purchase, lease and/or license at least one fully functional PFN tool and all related and/or

In addition, the Company excluded stock appreciation rights (“ SARs ”) of 1.66 million and 2.40 million, respectively, as they are contingently issuable based on specified market prices of the Company’s Common Shares, which were not achieved as of the end of each period.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS	Mar. 31, 2023
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-Based Payments	SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS The Company maintains an equity incentive plan, known as the 2021 Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “ Compensation Plan ”), for directors, executives, eligible employees and consultants. Existing equity incentive awards include employee non-qualified stock options, RSUs and SARs. The Company issues new Common Shares to satisfy exercises and vesting under its equity incentive awards. As of March 31, 2023, a total of 15,802,941 Common Shares were authorized for future equity incentive plan awards. The Company’s share-based compensation expense, by type of award, is as follows: Three Months Ended 2023 2022 RSUs (1) $ 644 $ 484 SARs 436 346 Stock options 106 32 Total share-based compensation expense (2) $ 1,186 $ 862 (1) The fair value of the RSUs granted under the Compensation Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was estimated at the date of grant, using the stated market price on the NYSE American. (2) Share-based compensation is included in Selling, general and administration in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Restricted Stock Units The Company grants RSUs to directors, executives and eligible employees. Awards for executives and eligible employees are determined as a target percentage of base salary and generally vest over three years. Holders of unvested RSUs do not have voting rights on those RSUs. The RSUs are subject to forfeiture risk and other restrictions. Upon vesting, the employee is entitled to receive one Common Share of the Company for each RSU at no additional payment. A summary of the Company’s non-vested RSUs activity is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Non-vested, December 31, 2022 747,425 $ 4.77 Granted 450,232 7.36 Vested (448,883) 4.24 Forfeited — — Non-vested, March 31, 2023 748,774 $ 6.64 The total intrinsic value and fair value of RSUs that vested and were settled for equity was $3.38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Stock Appreciation Rights The Company may grant SARs to directors, executives, and eligible employees. On January 26, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors issued SARs under the Compensation Plan, which are intended to provide additional long-term equity incentives for the Company’s senior management. Each SAR granted entitles the holder to receive, upon a valid exercise, payment from the Company in cash or Common Shares (at the sole discretion of the Company) in an amount representing the difference between the fair market value (“ FMV ”) of the Company’s Common Shares on the date of exercise and $7.36 (the closing market price or “ Grant Price ” at the time of grant). Fair Market Value as used herein means the closing price of the Shares on the TSX or the NYSE American on the last trading day immediately prior to the date of exercise. The term of the SARs grant is five years, with SARs vesting only upon the achievement of the following goals: as to one-third of the SARs granted, automatically upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Company’s Common Shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding $12.00 for any continuous 90-calendar-day period; as to an additional one-third of the SARs granted, automatically upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Company’s Common Shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding $14.00 for any continuous 90-calendar-day period; and as to the final one-third of the SARs granted, automatically upon the 90-calendar-day VWAP of the Company’s Common Shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding $16.00 for any continuous 90-calendar-day period. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, no SARs were able to be exercised by the holder for an initial period of one year from the Date of Grant; the date first exercisable being January 24, 2024. The fair value of the SARs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was estimated at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation, with the following weighted average assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 3.58 % Expected life (1) 5.0 years Expected volatility (2) 55.00 % Expected dividend yield — % Weighted average grant date fair value $ 3.45 (1) Monte Carlo analysis of SARs assumes employee suboptimal exercise at first vesting time for each tranche. (2) Expected volatility is measured based on the Company’s historical share price volatility over a period equivalent to the expected life of the SARs. A summary of the Company’s SARs activity is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) Intrinsic Value Outstanding, December 31, 2022 2,452,768 $ 4.07 Granted 308,333 7.36 Exercised — — Forfeited (5,554) 6.47 Expired — — Outstanding, March 31, 2023 2,755,547 $ 4.43 2.12 $ 4,413 Exercisable, March 31, 2023 1,092,143 $ 2.92 0.81 $ 2,905 A summary of the Company’s non-vested SARs activity is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Non-vested, December 31, 2022 1,360,625 $ 2.81 Granted 308,333 3.45 Vested — — Forfeited (5,554) 5.20 Non-vested, March 31, 2023 1,663,404 $ 2.92 Employee Stock Options The Company, under the Compensation Plan, may grant stock options to directors, executives, employees and consultants to purchase Common Shares of the Company. The exercise price of the stock options is set as the higher of the Company’s closing share price on the NYSE American on the last trading day before the grant date and the five-day volume weighted average price (“ VWAP ”) on the NYSE American ending on the last trading day before the grant date. Stock options granted under the Compensation Plan generally vest over a period of two years or more and are generally exercisable over a period of five years from the grant date, such period not to exceed 10 years. The fair value of the stock options granted under the Compensation Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was estimated at the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model, with the following weighted average assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 3.89 % Expected life 3.25 years Expected volatility (1) 74.29 % Expected dividend yield — % Weighted average grant date fair value $ 3.98 (1) Expected volatility is measured based on the Company’s historical share price volatility over a period equivalent to the expected life of the stock options.

INCOME TAXES	Mar. 31, 2023
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES As of March 31, 2023, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The Company continually reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and intends to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or a portion of the allowance. Should the Company’s assessment change in a future period, it may release all or a portion of the valuation allowance, which would result in a deferred tax benefit in the period of adjustment. The Company will recognize the tax gain on the Alta Mesa Transaction under the installment method of accounting. This method will result in a deferral of a portion of the tax gain until the year in which the remaining proceeds are received. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not record income tax expense on income before taxes of $114.26 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately $2.72 million of Net Operating Loss carryforwards will be utilized. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not record an income tax benefit on a loss before taxes of $14.73 million. The effective tax rate was 0% for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, which was a result of the full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES General Legal Matters Other than routine litigation incidental to our business, or as described below, the Company is not currently a party to any material pending legal proceedings that management believes would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. White Mesa Mill In 2011, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe filed an administrative appeal of the Utah Division of Air Quality’s (“ UDAQ ”) decision to approve a Modification to the Air Quality Approval Order at the Mill. Then, in 2013, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe filed a Petition to Intervene and Request for Agency Action challenging the Corrective Action Plan approved by the State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality (“ UDEQ ”) relating to nitrate contamination in the shallow aquifer at the Mill. In August 2014, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe filed an administrative appeal to the Utah Division of Radiation Control’s (“ DRC’s ”) Radioactive Materials License Amendment 7 approval regarding alternate feed material from Dawn Mining. The challenges remain open at this time and may involve the appointment of an administrative law judge (“ ALJ ”) to hear the matters. The Company does not consider these actions to have any merit. If the petitions are successful, the likely outcome would be a requirement to modify or replace the existing Air Quality Approval Order, Corrective Action Plan or license amendment, as applicable. At this time, the Company does not believe any such modifications or replacements would materially affect its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the scope and costs of remediation under a revised or replaced Air Quality Approval Order, Corrective Action Plan and/or license amendment have not yet been determined and could be significant. The UDEQ renewed in January 2018, then reissued with minor corrections in February 2018, the Mill’s radioactive materials license (the “ Mill License ”) for another ten years and the Groundwater Discharge Permit (the “ GWDP ”) for another five years, after which further applications for renewal of the Mill License and GWDP are required to be submitted. During the review period for each application for renewal, the Mill can continue to operate under its existing Mill License and GWDP until such time as the renewed Mill License or GWDP is issued. Most recently, on July 15, 2022, the routine GWDP renewal application was submitted to UDEQ for consideration. In 2018, the Grand Canyon Trust, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and Uranium Watch (collectively, the “ Mill Plaintiffs ”) served Petitions for Review challenging UDEQ’s renewal of the Mill License and GWDP and Requests for Appointment of an ALJ, which they later agreed to suspend pursuant to a Stipulation and Agreement with UDEQ, effective June 4, 2018. The Company and the Mill Plaintiffs held multiple discussions over the course of 2018 and 2019 in an effort to settle the dispute outside of any judicial proceeding. In February 2019, the Mill Plaintiffs submitted to the Company their proposal for reaching a settlement agreement. The proposal remains under consideration by the Company. The Company does not consider these challenges to have any merit and, if a settlement cannot be reached, the Company intends to participate with UDEQ in defending against the challenges. If the challenges are successful, the likely outcome would be a requirement to modify the renewed Mill License and/or GWDP. At this time, the Company does not believe that any such modification would materially affect its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On August 26, 2021, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe filed a Petition to Intervene and Petition for Review challenging the UDEQ’s approval of Amendment No. 10 to the Mill License, which expanded the list of Alternate Feed Materials that the Mill is authorized to accept and process for its source material content. Then, on November 18, 2021, the Tribe filed its Request for Appointment of an ALJ, followed shortly thereafter by a stay on the request in accordance with a Stipulation and Agreement between the Tribe, UDEQ and Company. Discussions between the Company and the Tribe are ongoing in an effort to resolve the dispute and other outstanding matters without formal adjudication. However, the Company does not consider this action to have any merit. If the stay is lifted, an ALJ is appointed and the petition is successful, the likely outcome would be a requirement to modify or revoke the Mill License amendment. At this time, the Company does not believe any such modification or revocation would materially affect its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Mineral Property Commitments The Company enters into commitments with federal and state agencies and private individuals to lease mineral rights. These leases are renewable annually, and, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, renewal costs for the remainder of 2023 are expected to total $1.60 million. Surety Bonds The Company has indemnified third-party companies to provide surety bonds as collateral for the Company’s asset retirement obligations. The Company is obligated to replace this collateral in the event of a default and is obligated to repay any reclamation or closure costs due. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has $17.51 million posted as collateral against an undiscounted asset retirement obligation of $33.00 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has $21.04 million posted as collateral against an undiscounted asset retirement obligation of $42.91 million. Commitments The Company is contractually obligated under a Sales and Agency Agreement appointing an exclusive sales and marketing agent for all vanadium pentoxide produced by the Company.

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING	3 Months Ended
FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING	Mar. 31, 2023
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Accounting	FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair value accounting utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current accrued liabilities. These instruments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of the instruments. Allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded against the accounts receivable balance to estimate net realizable value. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair values of cash, restricted cash, short-term deposits, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities are publicly traded stocks measured at fair value and classified within Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 marketable equity securities use quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, while Level 2 marketable equity securities utilize inputs based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. The Company’s investments in marketable debt securities are valued using quoted prices of a pricing service and as such, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s investments accounted for at fair value consisting of Common Shares are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s investments accounted for at fair value consisting of warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option model based on observable inputs and as such are classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy. The Company’s convertible note was received as part of the consideration received for the Alta Mesa Transaction was valued as of February 14, 2023 upon closing of that transaction using a binomial lattice model. The fair value calculation uses significant unobservable inputs including: (i) volatility 60% and (ii) yield of 9.5%. The Company used the same binomial lattice model to value the Convertible Note as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value calculation uses significant unobservable inputs including: (i) volatility of 60% and (ii) yield of 10.6%. Increases or decreases in the volatility and/or the selected risky yield can result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the Convertible Note. The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance recorded for the Convertible Note classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Beginning balance, February 14, 2023 $ 59,457 Unrealized loss included in other income (loss) (198) Ending balance, March 31, 2023 $ 59,259 As of March 31, 2023, the difference between the fair value of the Convertible Note and the unpaid principal amount is $0.74 million. Investments Accounted for at Fair Value The fair value of the investments is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company. As of December 31, 2022, the Company held a 17.4% ownership interest in its investment in CUR and a 13.5% ownership interest in its investment in Virginia Energy Resources Inc. (“ Virginia Energy ”). These investments provide the Company with the ability to have significant influence, but not control, over their operations. The Company has elected the fair value option for each of these investments. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s investments in CUR and Virginia Energy were $16.50 million and $2.83 million, respectively. On January 24, 2023, CUR acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Virginia Energy for 0.26 common shares of CUR. As a result, the Company’s 9,439,857 common shares of Virginia Energy were converted into 2,454,362 million common shares of CUR (the “ Conversion ”). Following the Conversion, the Company owned 16,189,548 common shares of CUR, which represented an ownership interest of 16.7% in CUR as of closing. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s investment in CUR was $16.37 million, which represented an ownership interest of 16.3%. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized a loss of $2.96 million and $3.42 million, respectively related to these investments in Other income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
