Besides uranium, the resource area of some 57,000 ha contains significant deposits of coal and coking coal. The development of the uranium mine with a production capacity of 2 million lb per annum of U3O8, will also enable power generation of over 600 MW at an expected 32 c/kWh as a by-product from the process.[2][3]
