摘要

Have you ever gone into a messy room to find just one thing and struggled to find it? Imagine the challenge the mining industry faces when it has to dig through tons of dirt and rock, to extract only a small amount of precious material from a vast body of earth. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could extract only the material you wanted, leaving the rest undisturbed? With the in-situ recovery (ISR) method of mining uranium, that's actually possible. Conventional uranium mining methods involve excavating massive quantities of earth, but with ISR mining, most of the earth is left intact while the uranium is dissolved and extracted. Uranerz Energy Corporation is very experienced in the field of ISR mining and is one of only a few companies to have secured approval from the United States NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) and state authorities to apply its ISR mining technique to uranium ore bodies in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. Given the green light from the regulatory authorities, Uranerz has recently commenced construction, and expects to begin uranium production at its flagship Nichols Ranch project by the second half of 2012.
