Stronger, Together: Local leaders close FCM 2025 with call for mature, pragmatic coordination across all governments Français
OTTAWA, ON, June 1, 2025 /CNW/ - More than 2,000 local leaders and officials from across Canada gathered in Ottawa this week for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' (FCM) 2025 Annual Conference and Trade Show—Canada's premier event for municipal innovation, collaboration, and advocacy.
The conference featured keynote addresses from Prime Minister Mark Carney, Conservative Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman, NDP MP Gord Johns, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May and National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak.
As Prime Minister Carney prepares to meet with Canada's Premiers, FCM's message is clear: Canada's success depends on a new way of working together—one that respects jurisdiction while embracing pragmatic, results-driven collaboration. The Prime Minister is right – it's time to build. But Canada can't build without delivery—and delivery happens when all orders of government are aligned.
While the world faces unprecedented challenges—threatening peace, stability, economic security, and climate resilience — communities bring the skills and determination needed to deliver real solutions on housing, nation-building infrastructure and the economy.
"This year's conference was a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when local leaders come together with a shared purpose," said FCM President Rebecca Bligh. "Our conversations with Prime Minister Carney were encouraging, and we're optimistic about the path ahead. We're laying the groundwork for a National Prosperity Partnership—one that aligns governments around shared priorities and empowers municipalities to deliver real results. That's what 'Stronger, Together' is all about: collaboration that drives national progress and prosperity from the ground up."
Guided by the theme "Stronger, Together: Local Strength, National Prosperity," this year's conference celebrated the power of unity, collaboration, and solidarity between communities across the country. In an ever-changing economic and political landscape, municipal leaders came together to share challenges and implement solutions—proving that when local voices unite, national progress follows.
Strengthening cross-border collaboration
A highlight of the conference was the collaboration and strong partnership with the delegations from the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National Association of Counties, reinforcing the growing role of local governments in international cooperation. These discussions are essential as we work together to protect our communities and strengthen our local economies.
Another key moment was the handover of the Urban7 Mayors' Declaration that outlined the pivotal role cities and regions play to address today's most pressing challenges.
Launch of the Rural Report
FCM also launched its much-anticipated rural report, The Future of Rural Canada, a comprehensive roadmap to unlock the full potential of rural communities. The report outlines actionable recommendations to ensure rural municipalities have the tools and resources they need to thrive—recognizing their unique contributions to Canada.
FCM members make their voices heard
During Saturday's Resolutions Plenary, FCM members also debated and voted in favour of the following resolutions:
Improving access to health care in Rural Canada
Strengthening Canada's economy by diversifying trade
Future of Canada Post
Strengthening Arctic sovereignty and security through municipalities
Leadership announcements
FCM members reaffirmed their confidence in the organization's leadership, with Rebecca Bligh, Councillor with the City of Vancouver, BC, continuing as President.

Energy Fuels Achieves Another Record Month of U.S. Uranium Production
Ore grades and production at Pinyon Plain mine continue to exceed historic records and expectations; Energy Fuels' rapid uranium production ramp-up and large "pipeline" uranium development projects supported by recent Trump executive orders. DENVER, June 3, 2025 /CNW/ - Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earth elements (REE), and other critical minerals, today announced several significant advancements in its uranium business, as the Company leads the U.S. in quickly revitalizing the domestic uranium industry in support of President Trump's recent Executive Orders expanding the U.S. nuclear fuel and nuclear energy industries. The Company is pleased to announce the following achievements: Another record month of production from the Company's Pinyon Plain mine in Arizona, with nearly 260,000 pounds of U 3 O 8 mined during the month of May; Completion and filing of an updated Technical Report on the Company's Bullfrog Project in Utah, significantly increasing previously reported in-ground uranium resources; and Quickly advancing permits on the Company's Roca Honda project in New Mexico and EZ Complex in Arizona, important "pipeline" projects expected to support Energy Fuels' long-term U.S. uranium production profile. "Energy Fuels is pursuing an aggressive plan to quickly increase short-term U.S. uranium supply in support of near-term profitability and advancing key components of President Trump's Nuclear Energy, Energy Dominance, and Critical Mineral agendas," said Energy Fuels' President & CEO Mark Chalmers. "We believe Pinyon Plain stands alone as the most important domestic uranium mine today, as it is very high-grade, very low-cost, and is expected to produce millions of pounds of uranium in the next few years with material exploration potential. We are also quickly advancing our longer-term 'pipeline' projects to maintain and grow Energy Fuels' domestic production profile and market share. At the same time, as one of only two commercial-scale U.S. producers of high-purity rare earth oxides, we are simultaneously driving significant long-term shareholder value in another high-growth commodity sector." Pinyon Plain Mine – Surpassing Another Uranium Production Record Uranium production at Pinyon Plain hit another record in May, extracting 6,043 tons of ore at an average grade of 2.14% containing 258,745 pounds of U 3 O 8, representing a 71% increase over last month's record. Over the past five (5) months, Pinyon Plain has produced roughly 12,461 tons of ore with an average grade of 1.92% U 3 O 8 containing 478,384 pounds of U 3 O 8. During 2025, the Company has achieved a five (5) month production rate of roughly 96,000 pounds of U 3 O 8 per month, with the last two (2) months averaging roughly 205,000 pounds per month. Therefore, the Company has an increasing level of confidence that future production quantities are likely to exceed budgeted production and past expectations. Please note that the Company does not expect to continue to achieve record monthly mining rates, for reasons including: availability of ore haulage truck (which is currently being resolved), compliance requirements with the agreement with the Navajo Nation, ore stockpile limitations, and the need to perform additional required underground development and exploration work to access additional ore. However, the Company believes that mining results to date demonstrate that the Pinyon Plain mine is likely higher-grade than previous estimates and therefore has the strong potential to have a significantly larger uranium resource and more exploration potential than previously reported, which could potentially support a longer mine life, more annual production, and/or a faster mining rate versus previous expectations. New Bullfrog Project Technical Report – Expanding In-Ground Uranium Resources Energy Fuels has completed and filed an updated, independent Technical Report, dated May 9, 2025, containing a current Mineral Resource estimate and first time disclosure of project economics for Energy Fuels' 100%-owned Bullfrog Project located in Garfield County, Utah, in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Subpart 229.1300 of Regulation S-K, Disclosure by Registrants Engaged in Mining Operations (US) (S-K 1300) and National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) (Canada). According to the new May 2025 Technical Report, Bullfrog has Indicated Mineral Resources of 10.5 million pounds of eU 3 O 8 contained in 1.7 million tons of material with an average grade of 0.30% eU 3 O 8, along with Inferred Mineral Resources of 3.4 million pounds of eU 3 O 8 contained in 0.6 million tons of material with an average grade of 0.28% eU 3 O 8. These figures represent an increase of 15% in the Indicated Mineral Resources category and an increase of 70% in the Inferred Mineral Resources category compared to the previous Technical Report dated February 22, 2022. The report also contains a first-time disclosure of economics and complies with the standards of an Initial Assessment under S-K 1300 and a Preliminary Economic Assessment under NI 43-101. The mine plan identifies a 15-year mine life for the project with annual production of roughly 700,000 to 800,000 pounds of U 3 O 8 per year. The Base Case Economics on the Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resources indicate that development capital is expected to total $55 million, with sustaining capital of $38 million. Total all in sustaining costs for the life of the project are $65.67 per pound of U 3 O 8. At a uranium sales price of US $90 per pound of U 3 O 8, the undiscounted after-tax cash flow totals $147 million over the life of the mine with a simple payback of approximately 5.8 years from start of production. The report indicates an after-tax Net Present Value (NPV) at an 8% discount rate of $31 million, and an after-tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 14%. Ore produced from the Bullfrog Project is expected to be transported to the Company's White Mesa Mill, which is approximately 125 miles away via improved State Highways and County Roads, for processing into natural uranium concentrate (U 3 O 8). The Bullfrog Project is currently in the permitting phase and represents an important long-term pipeline project for Energy Fuels. The report was prepared by Stuart Collins, P.E., Jeffrey L. Woods, MMSA QP, Lee (Pat) Gochnour, MMSA QP, Mark B Mathisen, C.P.G., Grant A. Malensek, and Tedros Tesfay, SME (RM) of SLR International Corporation, all of whom are qualified persons as defined in NI 43-101 and S-K 1300 and independent of Energy Fuels for purposes of NI 43-101. The effective date of the Technical Report and the mineral resource estimate is December 31, 2024. A copy of the technical report is being filed under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at and EDGAR profile at Roca Honda Mine & EZ Complex – Expedited Permitting on U.S. Uranium Mines In response to recent news from the White House that Energy Fuels' 100%-owned Roca Honda Mine in New Mexico was added to the "FAST-41" federal permitting dashboard, the Company has engaged multiple consulting firms to support an expedited permitting process, including reinitiating the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process with the U.S. Forest Service in New Mexico. The Company also believes Roca Honda qualifies as a "FAST-41 Covered Project," which has the potential to result in expedited federal review. The Company believes the Roca Honda Project will become a large-scale and long-term uranium producer, beginning later this decade. A current February 2022 Initial Assessment and Preliminary Economic Analysis for Roca Honda, shows a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of approximately 17.6 million pounds of eU 3 O 8 contained in 1.9 million tons of material with an average grade of 0.48% eU 3 O 8, along with an additional Inferred Mineral Resource of 13.8 million pounds of eU 3 O 8 contained in 1.5 million tons of material with an average grade of 0.46% eU 3 O 8. The report describes average production from Roca Honda at 2.5 million pounds of U 3 O 8 per year for 11 years, along with a pre-tax NPV at an 8% discount rate of $11.8 million at a uranium sales price of $65 per pound, which is well below the current reported long-term uranium sales price of $80 per pound. In addition, due in part to potentially improving domestic markets and bipartisan support for nuclear energy, Energy Fuels has resumed permitting activity on the EZ Complex in northern Arizona (north of the Grand Canyon), which consists of two (2) closely located "breccia pipe" deposits, similar to the Pinyon Plain mine. The Company currently holds an air permit for the project from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and is now in the process of renewing the Aquifer Protection Permit (APP). Historical technical reports on the project are available on the Company website. Energy Fuels considers the EZ Complex to be an important long-term uranium project for the Company.
