Atomic Energy Commission with the Anaconda Copper Mining Company of Butte, Mon tana, for the construction of an addition to the uranium ore processing plant at Blue water, near Grants, N. M. was announced today at the Grand Junction Operations ofice of the commission. Expansion of the plants facilities is the result of the recent discovery of additional deposits of sandstone uranium bearing ores in that area by Anaconda. Less than four months ago- - on May 18,1954- - it was announced that Anaconda and the Commission had signed a contract for an expansion of the Bluewater plant to treat sandstone gangue ores discovered in the Morrison formation of that area a short time earlier, as well as for the expansion of facilities to handle limestone uranium ores for which the plant was designed and opened m the Fall of 1953. Before this expansion could be completed, more sandstone ores in. the were found, resulting planned additional facilities announced today. When completed, the Blue-watplant will be equipped to treat the limestone uranium ore3 in increasing quantities by the carbonate leaching process, and the sandstone ores by the acid leaching process. This is exected to bring about a substantial increase in uranium from this important area of New Mexico, which in turn will gtim ulaie uranium mining operations U. er cen-cmtrate- |
