EVER SEEN A URANIUM MINE?

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

If you have not seen a Uranium mine before, this is how it looks.

So, I visited Areva Rossing Uranium mine in Namibia and took some photo shots.

Rössing Uranium Ltd was formed in 1970 (now 68.6% Rio Tinto, 15% Iranian Foreign Investment Co., 10% Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa, 3% Namibian government). The company has mined the deposit from 1976 as a large-scale open pit in very hard rock. Rössing has nominal capacity of 4000 tU/yr and to the end of 2011 had supplied 101,123 tU. Annual production is tabulated above. Production for the first nine months of 2016 was 1131 tU.

Rössing's reserves at the end of 2015 were 6270 tU proven at 0.027 %U, and 33,250 tU probable, at 0.030% U in ore (calculated without allowing for 85% mill recovery). Its uranium is sold to power utilities in Central Europe, North America and South-East Asia including China.

Nice report on Mining. I do too work in that industry as Recruiter & Headhunter. I am located north of Latin America. Very glad to have found your post and your Telegram.org group which I joined. I resteemed your post, Upvoted it, and started following you.

looks like most other mines. Very nice photos! I would be interested to know metals are removed in the refinement process. Is this done there as well?
