Notes: The reported 4th-quarter 2002 production amount was adjusted by rounding to the nearest 100,000 pounds to avoid disclosure of individual company data. This adjustment also affects the 2002 annual production. The reported production amounts in 2003 and 1st, 2nd, and 4th quarter 2004 were adjusted by rounding to the nearest 200,000 pounds to avoid disclosure of individual company data. The reported 2004 total is the actual production for 2004. Totals may not equal the sum of components because of independent rounding.
Production reflects primary-source uranium from the six operating in-situ leach facilities as well as primary, alternate, and recycled feed at the White Mesa Mill in Utah. The owner of the White Mesa Mill, Energy Fuels Inc. provides additional information on the mill’s operations in its financial filings, including the amount of U308 produced from alternative feeds. The company’s financial filings are, at this writing, available at http://www.energyfuels.com/investors/financials/.
