Post# of 51
Uranium Energy (NYSE American: UEC) is a Corpus Christi, Texas-based uranium mining and exploration company that controls one of the largest historical uranium exploration and development databases in the United States. The company’s acquired properties are primarily located within the U.S., including Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Wyoming. Through leveraging historical exploration data, UEC has been able to target and acquire properties that have previously been subject to exploration and development by senior energy firms. UEC utilizes low-cost, environmentally friendly in-situ recovery (“ISR”) technology at its fully licensed projects, including Palangana, Burke Hollow, Goliad and Reno Creek. A recent article discussing this reads, “ISR technology involves the circulation of naturally occurring and benign groundwater through a uranium ore body. This natural water (that is unfit for any other use) plus oxygen is pumped into injection wells through the uranium ore body, where the uranium in the host sandstone is oxidized and solubilized. The uranium bearing groundwater continues to flow through the sandstone to the extraction wells, where it is pumped to the surface. This water proceeds to an ion exchange unit (like a big water-softener) for uranium removal, then is pumped back to the wellfield and again re-circulated through the ore body. This recirculation of the same groundwater continues over and over, until the uranium in the sandstone is depleted.”
