Ur-Energy begins ISR mining operations at Wyoming’s Shirley Basin
Ur-Energy Inc. announced last week that it has begun in situ recovery (ISR) operations at its Shirley Basin uranium mining site in central Wyoming.
The company, which also operates the Lost Creek ISR project in south-central Wyoming, decided to begin construction at Shirley Basin after making a “go” decision in March 2024. It has said that the combined total annual licensed production and toll processing capacity of Lost Creek and Shirley Basin is 4.2 million pounds U₃O₈.
