The proposed Langer Heinrich Uranium expansion operations are planned as opencast mining operations, the majority of the mining planned to exploit the colluvial and alluvial gravels and sediments that contain the natural resource within the Gawib River valley at Langer Heinrich. Mining will follow a sequence of truck and shovel operations using bench mining, with backfill of the open pit structures with overburden and the tailings by-product on completion of the extraction process (mining). These areas will be engineered to as close a possible the original topographic land form, and will be rehabilitated with the saved/stockpiled soil coverer and vegetated to as close as possible their original state.
