Denver-based Energy Fuels is advancing work to prepare for a possible July 2025 restart of production at the Nichols Ranch uranium mine, in Wyoming.

To restart production at the two-million-pound-a-year facility, the company is performing delineation drilling, which will inform plans for new header houses and new wellfields in the permitted PA2 area at the mine.

In addition to the delineation drilling, Energy Fuels has been advancing the restart by overhauling the on-site deep disposal well and making some capital improvements to the existing plant.

"We recently drilled 39 out of the planned 125 delineation holes at Nichols Ranch, with five that significantly exceeded expectations and the rest consistent with anticipated results,” said Energy Fuels technical services VP Dan Kapostasy.

“As we continue our exploration, we will better identify the location of resources within the site to allow us to optimise wellfield design ahead of a final mining decision, anticipated by the end of the year.”

The company noted that the fully licensed, permitted and constructed Nichols Ranch in-situ recovery facility was a priority resource in its development pipeline.
