Beverley mine
Beverley commenced production in late 2000 and was officially opened in 2001. In August 2008, an extension to the Beverley Uranium Mines mining lease was approved. Since the Fukushima disaster in 2011, the Beverley mine has suffered significant financial losses. Heathgate claims to operate the "world's most advanced In-Situ Recovery (ISR) mine." The project's infrastructure includes a processing plant, two satellite plants, a power plant, airstrip and camp accommodation to sleep 180 persons. The fly-in fly-out workforce travels in two Encore jets, operated by Sharp Airlines.Marsland-Smith, Dr A.
