Raisebore Mining Raisebore mining is an innovative non entry approach that we adapted to meet the unique challenges at McArthur River From a raisebore chamber in waste rock above the ore we drill a series of overlapping holes through the ore zone and collect the ore using remote controlled scoop trams at the bottom of the raises
Cameco Cameco is a Canadian mining company one of the largest uranium producers in the world At the McArthur River deposit Cameco produced about 14–13 of the world s uranium production and another 3 at the Rabbit Lake mine In 2017 the company produced 9155 tons of uranium which amounted to 15 of the global production
Cameco is committed to responsibly and sustainably managing our business and increasing our contributions to global climate change solutions Gitzel said Our investment in GLE aligns well with these objectives Profile Cameco is one of the largest global providers of the uranium fuel needed to energize a clean air world
The nuclear fuel cycle is a multistage industrial process revolving around the utilization of uranium to produce electricity and is depicted in Fig 8 1 The front end of the fuel cycle begins with mining uranium out of the ground milling it into a more concentrated form e g U 3 O 8 converting it either into a useable form for enrichment for light water reactors LWR i e UF 6 or into
