Concentrations of uranium in this type of deposit typically grade to 0.01–0.015% U 3 O 8. [29] Recovery process costs are estimated at $22 to $54 per pound of U 3 O 8; higher than the market price of uranium during the 25-year period spanning the 1980s through the early first decade of the 21st century. Consequently, uranium recovery from ...

Uranium is present in coffinite in the Westwater Canyon member of the Morrison Formation at 3,000 feet (900 meters) below ground surface. The mine, which operated as an underground uranium mine from 1986 to 1989, has a remaining resource estimated by its owner at more than 45 thousand tons of uranium oxide. [14]
