The company has submitted a mine permit application to the state of Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) and the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the proposed project, which hosts multiple, shallow, mineralized deposits across 35,000 acres.
Strathmore CEO David Miller commented that the submission represents a major milestone in the company’s uranium development plans.
"This permit is unique in the 59 year history of the Gas Hills uranium district.
The 100 million pounds that were produced by over 10 companies on dozens of properties contained enough fission energy to power nearly 100% of the US electric grid for over a year," Miller said.
According to the CEO, this permit consolidates areas permitted in the past and all areas will now be regulated under one Strathmore permit.
"With the continued support of KEPCO, the local Riverton community, and the state and federal regulators, we believe that Strathmore’s Gas Hills properties can again help to resume this district’s role as a leading provider of reliable domestically sourced uranium to help meet the country’s long-term energy needs," added Miller.
