Conoco's Trevino in situ leach processing plant and evaporation ponds - Hebbronville, Texas, 1982 (click for larger image)
Sign on State Highway 392 - Windsor, Colorado. This business is 12 miles due south of the southern mining area. Powertech has not ruled out using open pit mining for this area. The uranium ore is above the water table, so typical in situ leaching methods are problematic. Powertech has suggested using a "modified in situ" process involving flooding the mine area.

Sign near the Goliad ISL site - Weesatche, Texas. Uranium Energy Corp, a junior mining company with administrative offices in Canada, is attempting to permit the Goliad Project and faces stiff local opposition.

In-situ leach wellfield under construction by Power Resources, Inc., presumably in Wyoming. Wells appear to be spaced roughly 30-50 feet apart. It is unknown if the hydrogeologic conditions in the Centennial/Indian Springs project area would require such close spacing of wells.
