(Mon 12/5/11) - A new agreement signed between two uranium producers will mean more business for a Converse County operation. The processing agreement between Uranerz Energy and Cameco means uranium mined at Uranerz's recently licensed Nichols Ranch in-situ operation in Campbell County will be processed into uranium concentrate at Cameco's central processing plant at the Smith Ranch-Highland Project northwest of Douglas. Smith Ranch-Highland is America's largest uranium operation and has the licensed capacity to mill four million pounds of yellowcake uranium concentrate per year. Recent production has been just under two million pounds per year. Cameco Resources' President Paul Goranson says the addition of up to 800,000 pounds a year from Uranerz will still allow full growth from Cameco's own new sites that they're working to bring into production. Uranerz is hiring additional personnel to work at its site during construction and operation, and announced it is focused on achieving commercial production as soon as practical.
