Abstract

[Recently discovered uranium deposits, including Pepegoona and Pannikan, have been developed as in-situ recovery (ISR) satellite mines to the Beverley plant. Both deposits are located within the Eocene Eyre formation of the Frome Embayment. The paper characterizes mineralogy, hydrogeology and geochemistry briefly and describes ISR satellite operation in combination with central processing, environmental management and specific requirements of the approval process including mine closure concepts. After performing a field leach trial in 2010, the ISR satellite wellfields and plants were commissioned in 2011.]
