One of North America’s leading In Situ Leach (ISL) engineers Harry Anthony, who is also the recently appointed chief operating officer of Uranium Energy Corp, told StockInterview.com, “In the mining stage, we are reversing Mother Nature’s process by adding oxygen, oxidizing the uranium from a valence of +4 to a valence of +6.” Mr. Anthony explained how in its natural, reduced environment, uranium exists as a solid in the +4 valence. The uranium was oxidized at one time, but then reduced by Mother Nature. By drilling wells into a uranium-mineralized orebody, circulating the water and adding oxygen to it, the uranium is again mobilized. Once it is soluble, it can be captured, processed and made into nuclear fuel.
