RE: where is the mesa mill in relation to the claims .....how far -
about 20 miles - The Payday mines - East Canyon near Monticello, Utah - DD....
White Mesa Nuclear Waste Facility. Located south of Blanding and north of Aneth, Utah.
The International Uranium (USA) Corporation tailings impoundment shown to the right WHITE MESA MILL is located at their White Mesa Mill located near Blanding, Utah. It is one of the two remaining uranium mills in Utah. Owned by Denison Mines - http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=7743
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.
