URANIUM PROCESSING

The function of the International Uranium (USA) Corp.
Uranium Mill is to extract uranium oxide (U308) concentrate,
commonly called yellowcake, from uranium bearing ores
found within the region.

Trucks haul the ore to the mill from Company owned and
Vendor owned mines in the San Juan County area.

Trucks arrive at the Blanding Ore Buying Station and
drive up on large scales where the ore is weighed.

From there the trucks move to the buying station yard
and unload their ore in designated areas.

From these small stockpiles of ore, samples are taken
then dried and weighed to determine the moisture content.

Accurate computation of the moisture content is highly
mimportant because the amount of ore fed to the mill
is always figured in dry ton equivalents.

From the buying station yard, large front end loaders move
the ore to the buying station where it is fed through
a primary jaw crusher and reduced to
approximately 11/2" size.

The ore is then run through a series of four stages of
crushing and sampling where the average 250 ton lot is
reduced to approximately 75 pounds of sample at less than
1/4' in maximum size.

From there this sample is further mixed, dried and
reduced down.

Samples weighing less than 5 grams are sent to the
metallurgical lab for assaying and a duplicate sample
is also sent to the miner selling the ore.

The sampled ore is then put into the stockpile by
conveyors and trucks for later processing through the mill.
