Some more information on UKL's Rio Puerco Uranium Mine in the Grants Mineral Belt of New Mexico.

"The surface plant of the property has been vandalized through the years. It consists of a 70' x 300' mine service and office building, a 30' x 40' Quonset shed repair shop, a 30' x 40' generator building containing a 1000 Kw generator, two 400 Kw mine hoist motors and switches, two 40' x 8' powder magazines, small water treatment buildings, 3 phase 4 Mw power lines, a 5000 gallon propane tank, earth settling ponds, etc. The underground mine has a 20' x 850' deep mine shaft and two 36" x 850' deep air shafts. The underground workings consist of about 2000 feet of tunnels, rails, switch points, etc. The mine has been flooded since 1982 and has a cased 36" well to 850' for dewatering purposes. At such time as we resume use of the property we will have to budget at least $50,000 for property repair and rehabilitation."

How good is that … $50,000 & we have a uranium mine ready to go!!!!!!!

No wonder UKL say they will be mining uranium in 2008!!

cheers.
