Types of Mines and Uranium Recovery Processes Type % In Situ (subsurface leaching) 41 Open Pit with surface heap leach 25 Underground with mill & tailings ponds 28
NOTES 1. In Situ Leach (ISL or ISR) is the least expensive and most suitable for deep, large low grade deposits such as those in WY. 2. Open pit with surface heap leach have higher costs than ISL and require resources near the surface. Grades can be lower than underground due to economies of scale. 3. UMB mines have historically been underground with mill and tailings pond recovery. They are typically smaller and require higher grades. Reclaimed tailings ponds are visible along the highway near Uravan. EF mines are underground with ore to be shipped to either the White Mesa or Pinon Ridge mills. There is a possibility of open pit mining on DOE Lease #7.
