    "The mineralisation lies over 9km of strike with an average width of 500m. At a depth of 50 to 70m, the deposit is shallow and should be amenable to in-situ leach (ISL) recovery, the lowest environmental impact uranium mining method."

    Perfectly right hey,

    Are you sure about that!!!

    I was always under the impression that ISR mining in North America is the lowset, not ISL.

    Outside the USA, where environmental regulations may be less restrictive, the aquifers are bombarded with harsh acid leaching. It would virtually be impossible to get an ISR project permitted in the USA using these chemicals to leach the uranium.

    Remember, the less things you add, the less you have to reclaim at the end of the process.
