Development Progress

We believe that we have some of the best undeveloped uranium projects in the world. However, our current focus is on producing from our tier-one uranium assets at a pace aligned with our contract portfolio and market opportunities. 

No work is planned at Kintyre in 2026.

Environmental Assessments

A number of studies have been completed to evaluate the potential effects during the construction, operation, and decommissioning of the Kintyre project.
