Energy Fuels (TSX: EFR) is proud to announce that on October 30,
the Whirlwind Mine received a Sentinels of Safety Award from the US
Mine Safety and Health Administration for 2007 in recognition of
its exemplary safety record. The annual Sentinels of Safety award
program recognizes achievement of outstanding safety records, to
stimulate greater interest in safety and to encourage development
of more effective accident prevention programs among the Nation's
mineral extractive industries. This program is cosponsored by the
Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the National
Mining Association (NMA).
Additionally, as reported earlier, the US Bureau of Land
Management issued a Record of Decision with a Finding of No
Significant Impact, in effect approving Energy Fuels' plan of
operations for the Whirlwind Mine on September 10, 2008. On
September 11, 2008, Energy Fuels initiated construction on the site
to prepare the surface area for mine production. The primary
project was building the surface water control structures to
collect and manage surface runoff within the permit boundary.
The contractor has cleared vegetation and stripped and stored
topsoil for later use in site reclamation. The waste rock storage
area was graded and prepared to accommodate about one year of mine
production at the 200 tpd mining rate. Specific projects completed
include the surface runoff sedimentation pond; diversion and
collection channels; roadway culverts; seeding; and the
installation of the mine sanitary septic system. The mine facility
is currently complete with an equipment shop, shower room, office,
and water treatment facility in place. Additionally, all mine
ventilation equipment and utilities are installed to the working
faces, and all bolting and ground control work is complete
underground. The Whirlwind Mine is ready to begin ramping up to
full production, once an outlet for ore production can be
secured.
