The leaching phase includes the controlled injection of an acidic solution into a portion of the existing Test Pattern within the mineralized zone (the &#8220;Leaching Zone&#8221;) and the recovery of the solution back to the surface using existing test wells. The recovered solution from the leaching phase is expected to contain dissolved minerals, including uranium, copper, iron, molybdenum, and zinc.<\/p>\n<p>The neutralization phase involves the recovery of the remainder of the leached mineralized solution from the Leaching Zone and is intended to verify the efficiency and effectiveness of the process for returning the Leaching Zone to environmentally acceptable conditions. During this phase, a mild alkaline (basic) solution will be injected into the Leaching Zone to neutralize the area and reverse the residual effects of the acidic solution injected during the leaching phase.<\/p>\n<p>The recovered solution management phase involves separating the solution recovered from both the leaching phase and the neutralization phase into (i) mineralized precipitates and (ii) a neutralized treated solution.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wcag-arialevel-3\" style=\"font-size: 1.17em;font-weight: bold;text-align: left\" role=\"heading\">\n        <b><br \/>\n          <i>About <\/i><br \/>\n        <\/b><br \/>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <i>Wheeler River<\/i><br \/>\n        <\/b>\n      <\/div>\n<p>\n        <i>Wheeler River is the largest undeveloped uranium project in the infrastructure rich eastern portion of the <span class=\"xn-location\">Athabasca<\/span> Basin region, in northern <span class=\"xn-location\">Saskatchewan<\/span> \u2013 including combined Indicated Mineral Resources of 132.1 million pounds U<\/i><br \/>\n        <i><br \/>\n          <sub>3<\/sub><br \/>\n        <\/i><br \/>\n        <i>O<\/i><br \/>\n        <i><br \/>\n          <sub>8<\/sub><br \/>\n        <\/i><br \/>\n        <i>\u00a0(1,809,000 tonnes at an average grade of 3.3% U<\/i><br \/>\n        <i><br \/>\n          <sub>3<\/sub><br \/>\n        <\/i><br \/>\n        <i>O<\/i><br \/>\n        <i><br \/>\n          <sub>8<\/sub><br \/>\n        <\/i><br \/>\n        <i>), plus combined Inferred Mineral Resources of 3.0 million pounds U<\/i><br \/>\n        <i><br \/>\n          <sub>3<\/sub><br \/>\n        <\/i><br \/>\n        <i>O<\/i><br \/>\n        <i><br \/>\n          <sub>8<\/sub><br \/>\n        <\/i><br \/>\n        <i>\u00a0(82,000 tonnes at an average grade of 1.7% U<\/i><br \/>\n        <i><br \/>\n          <sub>3<\/sub><br \/>\n        <\/i><br \/>\n        <i>O<\/i><br \/>\n        <i><br \/>\n          <sub>8<\/sub><br \/>\n        <\/i><br \/>\n        <i>).
