Hobson Processing Plant

In this section:

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The fully operational Hobson facility is an in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium processing plant, located about 100 miles northwest of Corpus Christi in Karnes County, Texas.  Hobson was originally licensed and constructed in 1978, and was subsequently totally refurbished in 2008. The facility at Hobson is designed to process uranium-loaded resins from satellite projects to a final product, U3O8. By utilizing the Hobson facility as a central processing site, the Company’s ISR production is processed at Hobson rather than to construct a new processing plant on site at each project.

The Hobson plant is central to all of UEC’s projects in South Texas, including the Palangana in-situ recovery project, which is ramping up production, the Goliad in-situ recovery project which is in the final stages of mine permitting for production, as well as the Salvo and Nichols exploration stage projects.
