Over the past two years, Wyoming has experienced a uranium mining frenzy not seen since the 1950s. Soaring uranium prices have attracted numerous uranium mining companies to this state. Several are serious about establishing an ISR facility in “mining friendly” Wyoming. After our interview with Wyoming’s Governor, more uranium companies announced plans to explore and develop properties in Wyoming. The state may have the largest uranium reserves in the U.S. and could become a leading production center. |
