The reactivation will enable the use of the license by the firm for the production of uranium as defined in the license.
Uranium Resources will now proceed to renew the license for a standard ten-year term.
During the renewal process, the active license may be utilized for the production of up to one million pounds per year from Churchrock Section 8 until a successful commercial demonstration of restoration is made.
Once the license is renewed, the mining on other properties can begin and the quantity of production can be increased to three million pounds per year.
Uranium Resources will focus of completion of the feasibility study on the Churchrock/Crownpoint project in New Mexico by the end of 2011, to determine the options available to advance it.
The Churchrock Section 8 has 6.5 million pounds of in-place mineralized uranium material.
