Description: This database provides information on the major uranium deposits in New Mexico that have been mined in the past or are known to contain significant uranium resources that can be mined sometime in the future, as of 2015. A major uranium deposit is a deposit that contains more than 80,000 pounds of uranium and includes past production plus identified or estimated resources. Information presented are the best data available and were obtained from published and unpublished sources (NMBGMR file data). Some of the resource and reserve data presented here are historical and are provided for information purposes only, and do not conform to Canadian National Instrument NI 43-101 requirements. Other resource/reserve data do conform to NI 3-101 requirements and are specifically referenced as such. Most of these deposits are in the Grants uranium district, which extends from east of Laguna to west of Gallup in the San Juan Basin. The Grants district is probably 7th in total world production behind East Germany, Athabasca Basin in Canada, Australia, South Africa, Russia, and Kazakhstan. Sandstone uranium deposits account for the majority of the uranium production from the Grants district and the most significant deposits are those in the Morrison Formation, specifically the Westwater Canyon Member, where more than 169,500 short tons of U3O8 were produced from 1950 to 2002. More than 100 major mines and undeveloped deposits are found in eight subdistricts in the Grants district, but only four projects offer the potential to produce in the near-term: Roca Honda, Mount Taylor, La Jara Mesa, and Church Rock Section 8. Although deposits currently producing elsewhere in the world tend to be higher grade and/or larger tonnage, the Grants district still contains a large enough resource to have a major impact on the global uranium supply in the future. This database includes most of those deposits. The economic feasibility of mining a number of these deposits will increase with the licensing and construction of a regional mill, improved in situ recovery technologies, decreasing production costs, and an increase in world-wide uranium consumption and price of uranium. For the purpose of this compilation, an occurrence is defined as (1) any locality where uranium or thorium mineralization or minerals are reported to occur or produced; (2) where uranium or thorium concentration exceeds 0.001%; or (3) where radioactivity is twice the background radioactivity. Any locality that has been developed, but not produced is considered a prospect. A deposit is any delineated ore body of economic size at a given time. A uranium mine is any locality that has produced uranium.
