These developments reflect our ongoing focus on building a robust, geographically diverse production pipeline in geopolitically stable jurisdictions, capable of meeting the increasing global demand for clean, reliable nuclear energy.”
Mr. Adnani continued: “Our financial position remains a core strength, with over $350 million(3) in liquid assets and no debt as of October 31, 2024. This provides the flexibility to accelerate our production growth plans in a rapidly tightening uranium market. As demand continues to outpace supply, our decision to remain fully unhedged, positions UEC to maximize returns and deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”
Christensen Ranch and Irigaray Operations
Christensen Ranch Mine Units 8 and 10, along with the Satellite Plant ion exchange circuit, were commissioned in August and September 2024 with flow now sustained at >3,000 GPM. During this quarter, the Company received approval from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Uranium Recovery Program, to increase the licensed production capacity at its Irigaray Plant to 4.0 million pounds of U3O8 annually.
Production ramp-up continues, with Mine Unit 7 undergoing preparation for startup, which should further expand the number of injection and recovery wells, increasing flow rates to utilize available capacity of the ion exchange circuit at levels >6,000 GPM.
The workforce for Wyoming operations is now 50 employees. Wells in new production modules 10-7 and 10-8 in the Christensen Mine Unit 10 have been completed and surface construction is underway that is expected to add fresh production to the ion exchange plant in early 2025. Additionally, delineation drilling and well construction is underway in Mine Unit 11 with eight drilling rigs currently active.
