Uranium Energy Corporation’s (UEC) Sweetwater uranium complex in the US state of Wyoming has been selected by the US government for a fast-tracked process of approval to add in-situ recovery capability, the company said.
In March US president Donald Trump said he would fast-track uranium projects under an emergency declaration to restore American energy independence.
He issued an executive order on immediate measures to increase US mineral production, directing federal agencies to fast-track permitting for certain infrastructure and critical mineral projects.
