Denison Mines (DML.TO) said Monday that it has progressed to full-scale construction at the Phoenix In-Situ Recovery uranium mine in Saskatchewan.
Preparatory works at the site began in March, and included starting the perimeter freeze wall installation for phase 1 of the mine, Denison said in a statement.
Denison Mines chief executive David Cates said construction work is expected to "accelerate" through the rest of the summer. ISR mining involves leaving ore where it is in the ground and recovering minerals through dissolving them, according to the World Nuclear Association.
