Projects Overview
The McClean Lake site is located approximately 700 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, and is comprised of several uranium mines and the newest, most technologically advanced uranium mill in North America.
Open pit mining at McClean Lake began with the JEB orebody in 1995 and was followed by mining of the Sue C, A, E and B orebodies. To date almost 50 million pounds of U3O8 have been produced at McClean lake. In mid-2010 McClean Lake was placed in care and maintenance while awaiting ore from other uranium mining projects such as the Cigar Lake, Midwest and underground mining at McClean Lake. The Cigar Lake mine, scheduled to commence production in mid-2013 will provide a continuous source of ore for the McClean Lake mill for approximately 30 years.
Although there is currently no mining and milling activity at McClean Lake, maintenance activities are ongoing at the site and several proposed projects are in various stages of preparation to resume milling and mining at the site as soon as possible.
The projects presented on this blog could ensure continuity of the McClean Lake operations for several decades. Find here detailed information and documentation submitted to the federal and/or provincial regulatory agencies regarding each of these projects.
