Tiris Uranium Mine

planned

The Tiris uranium project in Mauritania is a greenfield calcrete uranium mine expected to produce an average of 1.8 million lb of uranium oxide per year over a 25-year mine life. The project includes multiple shallow pits, beneficiation plants at mining areas, and a central leach/precipitation plant. It is fully permitted and located in the Sahara Desert, northeast Mauritania. The project aims for first production in 2027 with a capex of approximately US$230 million. The mining operation will be in-house with low strip ratio and no drilling or blasting required. Water resources and power generation solutions have been studied and planned, including boreholes and a hybrid solar/diesel power system. Engineering partner Wood has been appointed for basic engineering and early works package definition.
