Small Footprint

Big Impact

One deposit in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin that produces up to 30 million pounds of uranium a year.
Shafts

Smart, Safe, Innovative

State-of-the-art infrastructure designed with automation and safety at its core, supported by two vertical shafts that will transport people, materials and ore while providing fresh air to the underground workings.

Shafts Access

Accessing the Underground

The production shaft will extend to 630 m and the exhaust shaft to 530 m. Crews and equipment will travel underground by cage. Ore will be loaded into skips at the shaft bottom and hoisted to surface for processing.

Arrow Deposit

Flexible, Reliable, & Environmentally Elite

Measured Mineral Resources of 209.6 Mlb U3O8 at 4.35%; Indicated Mineral Resources of 47.1 Mlb U3O8 at 1.36%; and Inferred Mineral Resources of 80.7 Mlb U3O8 at 0.83%. Arrow is open in many directions and at depth, and hosted entirely in basement rock.

Mining Method

No surface tailings facility. None.

Ore will be extracted by conventional long-hole stoping. The Underground Tailings Management Facility (UGTMF) will place paste tailings back into stopes and mined-out chambers during production.

Underground

Utilizing Technology

A fleet of automated and tele-remote equipment will extract ore from the stopes and move it to the hoist. Ore will be stockpiled and blended to provide consistent feed to the mill and maximize uranium recoveries.

Project Overview

Meeting growing demand for energy

Current Development Stage

Detailed engineering is advancing across the mine, mill and surface infrastructure.

Procurement and Contracting

Long-lead equipment is well advanced and critical path contracts in place.

2026 Site Progress

Earthworks are underway. Shaft and mill pads, the diffuser road, temporary water treatment and shaft preparation are all in progress this year. See the 2021 Feasibility Study for further detail.
