The study analyzes the costs and benefits associated with proposed uranium mining and milling facility. The study reviews and evaluates information presented in support of the project by the companies proposing a joint development of the site. In addition, the authors provide independent estimates for costs and benefits. Although many quantitative estimates are provided, a large degree of uncertainty exists for others. In such cases, the possible outcomes are discussed qualitatively.
