Description:
The Sweetwater Project is a proposed uranium mining and processing project. The potential Plan of Operations for ISR (In Situ Recovery) and conventional open pit mining of uranium in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, on lands administered by the BLM Rawlins Field Office. This potential mine (no Plan of Operations has been submitted) could include ISR mining and open pit mining surrounding private lands with a reclaimed open pit mine and inactive (stand-by status) conventional uranium mill site. This project would likely require an EIS, but the BLM does not have project information to make that determination as of 8/8/2025.
This project is posted in the interest of transparency and response to Executive Order 14241. A permitting timetable will be posted by August 15, 2025.
