Project overview
About this development
The Dominion Reefs Uranium Mine is a shallow underground operation located approximately 150 kilometres southwest of Johannesburg in the North West Province. The Dominion reefs uranium project is a brownfields development project consisting of the Dominion and Rietkuil Sections, which include two former uranium and gold mining operations. The construction plan for the Dominion mine will involve rapid production and build-up which will be facilitated by the use of declines with mechanised development and multiple orebody access points. Uranium processing technology will consist of a pressure leach circuit, resulting in higher recoveries than atmospheric leaching. The capital cost of Phase 1 is estimated to be about 25% more than the 2006 feasibility study estimate of $180 million.
