A.1.0 INTRODUCTION

During the annual report period, Energy Fuels retained TRC Environmental Corporation to

continue the wildlife monitoring program specified in the Mine Plan. This annual report

includes the results of the 2016 raptor nest survey and greater sage-grouse lek surveys for the

Nichols Ranch and Hank Units.

A.2.0 2016 SURVEY METHODS

A.2.1 Raptor Nest Survey

All known raptor nests within the permit area and a 0.5-mi buffer were located and surveyed by

biologists from Wildlife Resources, LLC, of Big Hom, Wyoming from May 5 through June 6,

2016. Suitable habitats (e.g., cliffs, riparian areas) were searched a minimum of three site visits

using binoculars and/or spotting scopes to locate nest structures, whitewash, or any other

indicator of past or present raptor nesting (e.g., defensive or incubating raptors, the presence of

juvenile raptors, repeated observations of raptors in the same general area). These surveys

followed the protocol outlined in Appendix B of the Wyoming DEQ Coal Regulations. When a

nest could not be looked into, the nest was classified as active if at least one adult was observed

defending the nest. If no sign of occupancy was evident, the area below and around the nest was

checked for signs of recent activity (mute, pellets, feathers, prey remains, or young) in an attempt

to verify occupancy. In addition, black-tailed prairie dog towns within the pennit area and a

0.5-mi buffer were searched using binoculars and/or spotting scopes to locate burrowing owl nest

locations. Most areas of the prairie dog towns were also searched by traversing the towns and

examining burrows for whitewash or other sign of activity (i.e., mutes, feathers).

A.2.2 Greater Sage-grouse Lek Surveys

Eleven known greater sage-grouse leks or satellite leks within 2.0 mi of the Nichols Ranch ISR

project area were searched for activity (three site visits) between April 4 and May 5, 2016, in

accordance with the approved wildlife monitoring plan. None of these leks are located within

198305 Uranerz Energy Corporation

either the Nichols Ranch or Hank Unit boundaries. Biologists drove. to the area and used

binoculars and/or spotting scopes to locate the lek area and to count the peak number of male and

female greater sage-grouse present during each survey. Three lek searches were conducted at

each lek, and surveys were conducted from as close to sunrise as possible to 0.5 hour after

sunnse.

A.3.0 2016 RESULTS

A.3.1 Raptor Nest Survey

Eighty-one nests within the raptor nest survey area were surveyed by biologists from Wildlife

Resources, LLC, of Big Hom, Wyoming, during the spring of 2016. Of the 81 nests, ten nests

were determined to be active. Active nests included three red-tailed hawk nests, two great

homed owl nest, one golden eagle nest, and four long eared owl nests. All the red-tailed hawk

and great homed owl nests, and 3 of the long-eared owl nests were located in or near the Hank

Unit survey area and the golden eagle nest and the fourth long eared owl nest were located near

the Nichols Ranch Unit. Seven nests--two great homed owl nests, two long-eared owl nests and

the golden eagle nest produced young. Only one of the long-eared owl nests active in May failed

by the June productivity site visit. The number of young (i.e., production) of the other two active

raptor nests-a red-tailed hawk nest (Nest 13824) and the long-eared owl nest (Nest A8-16)

could not be determined during the June visit because the biologist could not see into Nest 13824

and Nest A8-16 had an adult long-eared owl on the nest. The locations and status of all 81 nests

are described in Table A.I and illustrated on Exhibit A.I. Four nest structures were newly

recorded in 2016 and all four nests were located in the Hank Unit. The increase in the number of

nests was likely due to increased familiarity of the field biologists with the project area

(specifically the Hank Unit) associated with the rugged conditions and dense vegetation around

that portion of the Pumpkin Buttes. Two of the new nests were active in 2016 and were

occupied by red-tailed hawks. The species associated with the other two new nest was not

determined.

Eleven leks were surveyed three times between April 4 and May 5, 2016, by biologists from

Wildlife Resources, LLC, of Big Horn, Wyoming. Four of the leks (Hines NW, Windmill,

Windmill Satellite, and Pumpkin Buttes) were determined to be active in 2016. The remaining 7

leks were inactive. The Windmill Satellite lek had a peak male attendance

of 18 birds, compared to a peak of 15 males observed at the lek in 2015. The locations of the

leks are illustrated on Exhibit A. l and additional lek data is presented in Table A.2, respectively.
