Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE: UEC) can now officially be classified as a uranium producer, announcing this morning that it has successfully restarted production at the past-producing Christensen Ranch in-site recovery facility in Wyoming.
Production is said to have quietly begun last week on August 6 at Mine Unit 10 at the complex, with initial production meeting expectations in terms of uranium concentration, with grades expected to improve in the coming weeks. Further details on grade were not provided.
The Christensen Ranch ISR facility is the first spoke that will feed the Irigaray CPP, which is currently licensed to process 2.5 million pounds of U3O8 per year.
