Uranium Energy Corp Begins Production at Palangana ISR Project
-- UEC launches first new ISR uranium mine in U.S. in 5 years
-- First production area comes on-line in South Texas below budget and on schedule
Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE AMEX: UEC; the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has started uranium production using in-situ recovery (ISR) methods at the Palangana Project in South Texas.
Phase I of three separate development phases of the wellfield at Production Area 1 (PAA-1) is 100% complete, with more than 45 injection wells and production wells drilled, cased and tested. The Company is very pleased with the water volume that each well has yielded during the testing phase. Now, gaseous oxygen and carbon dioxide are being added to the circulating ground water, which has activated the mining process of dissolving the uranium from surrounding sandstones.
