Description

Since early 1980, Amok Ltd., on behalf of Cluff Mining has been operating uranium mining and milling facilities at Cluff Lake, Saskatchewan. Initial operations have been concerned with the extraction and processing of material from the D orebody that average 7% uranium. In approaching this project the company undertook a number of innovative programs in the area of radiation protection. Experience has shown the validity of these programs and areas in which additional programs are required. Results of the monitoring program have shown that mining and milling of ore from a high grade orebody is practical within the current federal and provincial regulatory limits on radiation dose. 4 figures
