Total Production Capacity:		22,100,000
- = No data reported. Notes: Production capacity for 2010. An operating status of "Operating" indicates the in-situ-leach plant usually was producing uranium concentrate at the end of the period. La Palangana did produce uranium, but Hobson ISR Plant did not produce uranium concentrate during 2010. Hobson and La Palangana are part of the same project. ISR stands for in-situ recovery. Christensen Ranch and Irigaray Ranch did not produce uranium during 2010 (both are part of the same project).
