Uranium Energy Corporation (UEC) has completed the processing, drying and drumming of uranium concentrates at its Irigaray central processing plant in Wyoming, a milestone in the phased ramp-up of operations at the company’s Christensen Ranch project.
The milestone follows initial uranium production from the Christensen Ranch in-situ recovery (ISR) operation in August 2024.
UEC had been working since early 2023 to move the facility out of care and maintenance after increases in the price of uranium. According to the US Energy Information Administration, Irigaray last produced uranium in 2018.
