The Company has furnished a copy of the News Release as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

As previously disclosed, on January 5, 2015, Uranerz Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Energy Fuels Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Energy Fuels”), and EFR Nevada Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of a subsidiary of Energy Fuels (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for a business combination whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), and as a result the Company will continue as the surviving operating corporation and as an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Fuels. In connection with the Merger, Mr. Glenn Catchpole, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was interviewed by the Toronto Stock Exchange conducted on March 3, 2014 and the Company understands the interview will be made publicly available via the Toronto Stock Exchange’s web site after the date of this current report. The Company is furnishing a transcript of this interview as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
