Executive Summary
This 2016 NI 43-101 Technical Report by Behre Dolbear outlines the Reno Creek ISR Project for AUC. The project proposes In-Situ Recovery (ISR) for uranium extraction from fluvial and shoreline facies sandstone formations. The report details the technical feasibility based on pilot tests and bench-scale studies, highlighting a recovery rate of approximately 70% of in-place resources.
The proposed ISR process involves a phased approach with Production Units containing well fields. Each unit utilizes a 5-spot pattern of injection and recovery wells to circulate a carbonate/bicarbonate lixiviant with an oxidant into the mineralized zone (PZA). The pregnant lixiviant is pumped to a Central Processing Plant (CPP) for uranium recovery.
Processing at the CPP includes ion exchange resin loading, elution, precipitation, filtration, drying, and packaging. The process generates no tailings, reducing environmental impact compared to conventional mining. Groundwater restoration is planned through the use of production wells as injection wells post-operation.
