Smith Ranch-Highland

- Smith Ranch-Highland opened in 1975 and has produced 23 million lbs of uranium through the in situ recovery mining method.
Operation(As of December 31, 2022)


US ISR Operations
As a result of our 2016 curtailment decision, commercial production has ceased. As production is suspended, we expect ongoing cash and non-cash care and maintenance costs to range between $14 million (US) and $16 million (US) for 2023.
Environment & Safety
Worker safety, environmental monitoring and proper decommissioning after project completion are of the utmost importance to Cameco.
Reserves & Resources
Our mineral reserves and resources are the foundation of our company and fundamental to our success.
