Sweetwater Uranium Mining Project

planned

Uranium Energy Corp. plans to expand its uranium mining operations in Wyoming's Red Desert with the Sweetwater project, which will use both conventional and in-situ uranium mining methods. The project is the first mining proposal in Wyoming to be fast-tracked under a federal executive order to increase U.S. mineral production. The Sweetwater facility aims to become the largest in the U.S. capable of processing uranium from both mining methods, with a licensed production capacity of 4.1 million pounds annually.
