Interview with Mark Chalmers, President & CEO of Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE:UUUU)Our previous interview: https://youtu.be/9MMhS1rzKVcRecording date: 23rd June 2023Energy Fuels is a critical mineral company led by CEO Mark Chalmers, specializing in the production of uranium, rare earth elements, and isotopes such as radium-226. The company's focus lies in contributing to the decarbonization and electrification efforts. The US rare earths supply chain, long dominated by China, is undergoing changes, with Western companies and countries seeking to establish their own capabilities in this crucial sector. However, challenges such as skill sets and knowledge gaps need to be addressed. The fragmentation of the rare earth industry has led to smaller companies realizing the need for consolidation to achieve critical mass, expertise, and financing. The complexities and costs associated with rare earth mining and production are becoming apparent, causing longer timelines and higher funding requirements than initially anticipated. Governments are beginning to recognize the importance of supporting miners in the critical minerals space, but implementation and support measures are not yet aligned. Overall, the rare earth industry faces a growing supply-demand gap, urging companies to find innovative solutions and collaborate to ensure a sustainable future.
