Phoenix Feasibility Study 2023
Fully Permitted In-Situ Recovery Feasibility Field Test (FFT):
Highly successful first-of-its-kind test in the Athabasca Basin (1, 2)
Double Walled Pipe
to Recharge Well
Lenison
CAUTION
The Phoenix FFT was designed to validate and inform various
Feasibility Study (FS) elements for use of In-Situ Recovery (ISR) mining,
including production and remediation profiles, and is planned to occur in
three phases. The first two phases supported 2023 Phoenix FS.
Leaching
Completed
successful injection
of acidic solution
and recovery of
uranium bearing
solution using a
portion of the test
|
pattern installed at
Phoenix in 2021(3).
Neutralization
Completed
successful
injection of mild
alkaline solution to
reverse the
leaching process
and return test
area to protective
conditions(4).
Recovered Solution
Management
Completed compliance
phase to separate
recovered solution into
mineralized precipitates
| (temporarily stored on
site) and neutralized
treated solution (injected
into sub-surface)(5).
