| News |
January 2009 - The Navoiy Mining and Metallurgical Combine company
has announced that it will invest $12 million to upgrade a sulphuric acid
facility to increase sulphuric acid production from 400,000 t/a to 450,000
t/a in order to boost uranium production, according to Fertilizer Week.
The additional sulphuric acid will be used to process uranium ore at a new
extraction facility at the Northern Konimekh deposit. Once completed, the
new sulphuric acid facility will help Navoiy boost uranium production by
approximately 50%. (1) |
