Mining Equipment will be busy working on uranium production at the Arizona 1 Uranium Project, owned by Denison Mines, which is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2010.
Arizona 1 is made up of a solution collapse of Redwall Limestone. The throat diameter in this formation is in the order of 200ft to 300ft and has a vertical displacement throat average of 175ft. The uranium mineralisation depth is over 650ft at the Hermit Shale formation to a maximum depth of 1,400ft from the surface.
