Abstract: The Trekkopje Uranium Project, located in the Namib Desert in Namibia, will be a large, shallow open cast mine with a production rate of 100,000 tons of ore per day, at a stripping ratio of 0.23. The scale and location of the project in the sensitive, hyper arid Namib necessitated a cost effective design that minimized impacts on the environment …
Uranium ore refers to naturally occurring rock or mineral deposits that contain a sufficient concentration of uranium, a radioactive element, to make its extraction economically viable. Uranium is a relatively rare element and is typically found in trace amounts in the Earth's crust. Uranium ore is typically mined and processed to extract …
