Ur-Energy gets Shirley Basin go-ahead

Ur-Energy Inc announced it has secured final authorization from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, clearing the way for its Shirley Basin project to begin full-scale uranium recovery.

The approval allows Ur-Energy Inc to transport uranium-loaded resin from Shirley Basin to the company’s Lost Creek facility for final processing. This milestone positions Ur-Energy Inc to expand its production capabilities amid heightened demand for uranium and nuclear fuel. The company described the development as a significant step forward in its operational strategy.

The approval follows broader industry momentum, as Ur-Energy Inc recently noted strong growth in the U.S. nuclear sector after executive orders aimed at energy independence. Earlier this year, the Department of Energy launched a loan program to support the American nuclear supply chain, with Ur-Energy detailing its participation. The company continues to advance projects in response to rising nuclear fuel demand.
