Pine Ridge Uranium Project
The Pine Ridge Uranium Project is an advanced In-Situ Recovery (ISR) uranium project located in the southwestern Powder River Basin of Wyoming, the premier U.S. uranium basin. Historically, the Powder River Basin is the most significant area for uranium production in the U.S. primarily via ISR production methods. The Project is surrounded by existing uranium projects held by UEC and Cameco and is also located only ~15km from Cameco’s Smith Ranch Mill which has licensed capacity of 5.5Mlbs U3O8 p.a. The Smith Ranch mill is one of the largest uranium production facilities in the U.S.
Historical drilling conducted by the vendors and prior operators of Pine Ridge, combined with recent geological modelling, highlights the strong potential for further uranium mineralisation in these areas. In particular, updated modelling of redox boundaries suggests a substantial increase in prospective strike length, from approximately 225 km to nearly 435 km as shown in Figure 2.
