The Coles Hill uranium project is the largest uranium development project in the US and has strong technical and economic merit. The US is currently the biggest consumer of uranium in the world, yet we import more than 90% of our supply requirements. We are pleased to partner with Virginia Energy and help advance the Coles Hill project toward becoming a major domestic uranium producer that is committed to the highest standards of operational safety and environmental protection. We are also confident that the Coles Hill project has the potential to create significant economic value for the state of Virginia and generate strong investment returns for Virginia Energy shareholders.
