Permitting Council announces FAST-41 coverage of ISR Uranium Project

The Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council announced the FAST-41 coverage of the Dewey-Burdock InSitu Recovery Uranium Project. If permitted, this critical minerals mining project is expected to support the U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain with domestically produced uranium. “The Permitting Council is excited to welcome the Dewey-Burdock ISR Uranium Project to FAST-41 coverage,” said Emily Domenech, Permitting Council Executive Director. “This project is now the 9th mining project to receive FAST-41 coverage since President Trump took office, ensuring we are working towards a stronger domestic supply chain of critical mineral resources. The Permitting Council is delivering on the President’s Executive Order on domestic mining, and we look forward to working with enCore Energy (EU) Corp to get this project to the permitting finish line.” Located in Custer and Fall River counties in South Dakota, the Dewey-Burdock ISR Uranium Project will recover uranium from subsurface sandstone ore bodies through ISR technology. Project sponsor enCore Energy Corp previously completed significant federal review for the project and applied for FAST-41 coverage to take advantage of the predictability, transparency and accountability of the program for the remaining permitting milestones. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission serves as the lead agency for this project. Learn more about the Dewey-Burdock ISR Uranium Project on the Federal Permitting Dashboard.
