About Us Strategy Management Financial Statements Corporate Directory		Focus on Deposits Amenable to the In-Situ Recovery (ISR) Mining Method. In-situ Recovery (ISR) is the recovery, by hydrological leaching, of the uranium deposit without physical extraction of the mineralized rock from the ground. This process is also referred to as "solution mining." Most uranium deposits in the United States are mined using the ISR mining method. ISR has several advantages over more traditional forms of mining such as underground mining and open pit mining such as: miners are not directly exposed to the ore body, it is less expensive because large amounts of rock do not have to be broken up and removed, there is no solid waste, there is much less ground disturbance, smaller ore bodies can be mined, and it is much more environmentally friendly than conventional mining. By focusing on ISR deposits, we can substantially increase the likelihood that its properties will become operating mines. Furthermore, permitting is the single most important factor for the development of uranium mines in the United States and ISR mines have a history of being successfully permitted and reclaimed in a variety of jurisdictions.
