Uranium Energy Corp. announced it has received approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and commenced production at its Burke Hollow project, the world's newest in-situ recovery uranium mine and the first new U.S. ISR operation in over a decade. Combined with recent capacity expansion approvals at Christensen Ranch in Wyoming, Uranium Energy Corp.
continues to scale its U.S. production base and is the only U.S. uranium company with two active producing ISR hub-and-spoke platforms. Burke Hollow is the largest ISR uranium discovery in the United States in the past decade, with only about half of the approximately 20,000-acre property explored to date, providing significant long-term development potential. The project hosts multiple mineralized trends and horizons, supporting a phased approach to future resource expansion, and additional wellfield development. Production from Burke Hollow will be processed at the Hobson Central Processing Plant, which is licensed to produce up to 4 million pounds of uranium per year.
After over a decade of exploration, permitting and development, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality approval reflects the strength of Uranium Energy Corp.'s technical and operational execution. With Burke Hollow now in production, the South Texas team is focused on safely ramping operations and constructing additional wellfields across the project.
