ORANO undertook a tailings deposition review for the JEB Pit Tailings Management Facility (TMF) at the McClean Lake uranium mill in northern Saskatchewan.  After initial screening, two tailings deposition alternatives were advanced to the detailed review stage.  The first option included Read more... about The Investigation of an Alternative Tailings Deposition System for Uranium Tailings

Uranium tailings are differentiated from other types of tailings due to the radioactive nature of the material.
Radioactive tailings facilities pose long term hazards relating to both exposure and dam failure, with the
principal concern being the potential harm to both operator and Read more... about Management of Uranium Tailings

The Miriam case: A new type of uranium deposit within the Carboniferous sandstone -  hosted Uranium Mineralisation of the Arlit Agadez  province, Tim Mersoi Basin, Niger

The Miriam deposit was discovered at the 400 m-200 m grids while drilling  the interpreted redox halo which supported Read more... about The Miriam Case

Palaeo-river channels containing calcrete are important potential hosts for economic uranium mineralization in many parts of southern Africa particularly Namibia. The main feature of these deposits are the dominance of the mineral Carnotite [K2(UO2)2(VO4)2.3(H2O)] as the main uranium host in Read more... about Geochemical controls on uranium precipitation

GoviEx is a private exploration and development company with 10 tenements totaling approximately 5,000 km² of exploration ground in Niger, the world’s sixth largest uranium producer. As of August 2012, GoviEx’s properties contained more than 121 million pounds of NI 43-101-compliant uranium Read more... about The Miriam case: A new type of uranium deposit within the Carboniferous sandstone-hosted Uranium Mineralisation of the Arlit Agadez province, Tim Mersoi Basin, Niger
