Western Uranium & Vanadium Advances Mustang Mineral Processing Site to Bolster Regional Production
Western Uranium & Vanadium (OTCQX: WSTRF) has provided an update on its operational developments, highlighting progress at two key processing sites. The company acquired the Mustang Mineral Processing Site in October 2024, which is located 25 miles from their Sunday Mine Complex in Colorado. The site features comprehensive infrastructure including nine monitoring wells, three production wells, power infrastructure, paved road access, and 880 acres for tailings disposal supporting 40 years of operations.
Additionally, Western is developing the Maverick Minerals Processing Site in Utah, positioned 4 miles from their San Rafael Project. This facility will serve as a kinetic separation hub for processing regional ore, upgrading lower-grade materials before transport to the Mustang facility. The Mustang site has previously received licensing approval twice from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), demonstrating its regulatory compliance.
Western Uranium & Vanadium (OTCQX: WSTRF) ha fornito un aggiornamento sui suoi sviluppi operativi, evidenziando i progressi in due siti di lavorazione chiave. L'azienda ha acquisito il Mustang Mineral Processing Site nell'ottobre 2024, situato a 25 miglia dal loro Sunday Mine Complex in Colorado. Il sito presenta un'infrastruttura completa che include nove pozzi di monitoraggio, tre pozzi di produzione, infrastrutture elettriche, accesso stradale asfaltato e 880 acri per lo smaltimento dei fanghi, supportando 40 anni di operazioni.
Inoltre, Western sta sviluppando il Maverick Minerals Processing Site nello Utah, posizionato a 4 miglia dal loro San Rafael Project. Questa struttura servirà come centro di separazione cinetica per la lavorazione del minerale regionale, migliorando i materiali di qualità inferiore prima del trasporto al sito Mustang. Il sito Mustang ha ricevuto in precedenza l'approvazione per la licenza due volte dal Dipartimento della Salute Pubblica e dell'Ambiente del Colorado (CDPHE), dimostrando la sua conformità normativa.

Western Uranium & Vanadium (OTCQX: WSTRF)는 운영 개발에 대한 업데이트를 제공하며 두 개의 주요 가공 사이트에서의 진행 상황을 강조했습니다. 이 회사는 2024년 10월 콜로라도의 Sunday Mine Complex에서 25마일 떨어진 곳에 위치한 Mustang Mineral Processing Site를 인수했습니다. 이 사이트는 9개의 모니터링 우물, 3개의 생산 우물, 전력 인프라, 포장 도로 접근 및 40년 운영을 지원하는 880에이커의 폐기물 처리 공간을 포함한 종합적인 인프라를 갖추고 있습니다.
또한 Western은 유타주에 있는 Maverick Minerals Processing Site를 개발 중이며, 이는 San Rafael Project에서 4마일 떨어진 위치에 있습니다. 이 시설은 지역 광석 가공을 위한 운동 분리 허브 역할을 하여, Mustang 시설로 운송하기 전에 저품질 자재를 업그레이드합니다. Mustang 사이트는 이전에 콜로라도 공공 보건 및 환경부(CDPHE)로부터 두 번의 라이센스 승인을 받은 바 있으며, 규제 준수를 입증하고 있습니다.
Western Uranium & Vanadium (OTCQX: WSTRF) a fourni une mise à jour sur ses développements opérationnels, mettant en avant les progrès réalisés sur deux sites de traitement clés. La société a acquis le Mustang Mineral Processing Site en octobre 2024, situé à 25 miles de leur Sunday Mine Complex dans le Colorado. Le site dispose d'une infrastructure complète comprenant neuf puits de surveillance, trois puits de production, une infrastructure électrique, un accès routier pavé et 880 acres pour l'élimination des stériles, soutenant 40 ans d'opérations.
De plus, Western développe le Maverick Minerals Processing Site dans l'Utah, situé à 4 miles de leur San Rafael Project. Cette installation servira de centre de séparation cinétique pour le traitement des minerais régionaux, améliorant les matériaux de qualité inférieure avant leur transport vers l'installation Mustang. Le site Mustang a déjà reçu deux fois l'approbation de licence du Département de la santé publique et de l'environnement du Colorado (CDPHE), démontrant sa conformité réglementaire.
Western Uranium & Vanadium (OTCQX: WSTRF) hat ein Update zu seinen betrieblichen Entwicklungen bereitgestellt und Fortschritte an zwei wichtigen Verarbeitungsstandorten hervorgehoben. Das Unternehmen erwarb im Oktober 2024 den Mustang Mineral Processing Site, der 25 Meilen von ihrem Sunday Mine Complex in Colorado entfernt liegt. Der Standort verfügt über eine umfassende Infrastruktur, die neun Überwachungsbrunnen, drei Produktionsbrunnen, Strominfrastruktur, asphaltierten Straßen Zugang und 880 Acres für die Abfallentsorgung umfasst, die 40 Jahre Betrieb unterstützt.
Darüber hinaus entwickelt Western den Maverick Minerals Processing Site in Utah, der 4 Meilen von ihrem San Rafael Project entfernt ist. Diese Einrichtung wird als kinetisches Trennzentrum für die Verarbeitung regionaler Erze dienen und minderwertige Materialien vor dem Transport zur Mustang-Anlage aufwerten. Der Mustang-Standort hat zuvor zweimal die Genehmigung für die Lizenzierung vom Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) erhalten, was seine regulatorische Konformität zeigt.

Toronto, Ontario and Nucla, Colorado, Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. (CSE: WUC) (OTCQX: WSTRF) (“Western” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update of its operational strategy and ongoing developments at the Mustang Mineral Processing Site and Maverick Minerals Processing Site, positioning the Company as a key player in the regional uranium and vanadium processing sector.
In October 2024, Western successfully acquired the Mustang Mineral Processing Site (formerly the Pinon Ridge Mill Site), a move that significantly enhances the Company’s capabilities and processing infrastructure. The acquisition includes all historical data and equipment utilized for the site’s previous successful licensing application. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has issued a license for this facility twice, underscoring the site’s compliance with stringent regulatory requirements. This site is located approximately 25 miles from Western’s Sunday Mine Complex mining operations in Colorado.
The Mustang Mineral Processing Site boasts significant infrastructure already in place to support long-term operations. Key features include:
- Water Resources: Nine monitoring wells and three production wells are currently installed, ensuring sustainable water management.
- Power and Access: The site is equipped with power infrastructure and features paved road access and gravel roads on the site, facilitating efficient transportation and logistics.
- Tailings Capacity: The 880-acre site provides abundant space for tailings disposal to support 40 years of continuous operations.
- Environmental Monitoring: Meteorological data towers are actively collecting data to confirm and validate previous application findings, ensuring environmental compliance and operational efficiency.
In addition to developing the Mustang Mineral Processing Site (“Mustang”), Western is advancing its Maverick Minerals Processing Site (“Maverick”) as a key kinetic separation hub. This strategic initiative will enable the processing of regional ore, upgrading lower-grade materials to economic levels for transport from Maverick to the Mustang facility. By optimizing ore grades before transportation, Western enhances the viability of multiple regional mines, further strengthening the uranium and vanadium supply chain. Maverick is located approximately 4 miles from Western’s San Rafael Project in Utah.
Western’s CEO, George Glasier stated “The acquisition and development of the Mustang Mineral Processing Site is a transformative step for Western, reinforcing our commitment to strengthen the uranium and vanadium industry in the region to meet the growing demand for these critical minerals.”
Western Uranium & Vanadium remains focused on executing its strategic initiatives, ensuring sustainable and efficient mineral processing, and advancing projects that enhance shareholder value and domestic industry production.
