Crossy,
Add in Jabiluka you get about 150,000 tonnes, using your 60,000. Jabiluka alone is 90,000 tonnes.
In 1991 ERA purchased from Pancontinental Mining Ltd the Jabiluka uranium orebody, some twenty kilometres to the north. This is one of the world's larger known uranium deposits, with reserves containing 90,000 tonnes of U3O8. The Jabiluka lease abuts the Ranger mining lease so subject to relevant approvals, the ore from Jabiluka could be processed to U3O8 at the Ranger mill. ERA's preferred option is to truck the Jabiluka ore 20km to Ranger for treatment, rather than developing a new treatment plant and tailings dam.

You're only counting Ranger:
The next mine was Ranger, owned by Energy Resources of Australia Ltd (ERA) and located about 230 kilometres east of Darwin. Mining commenced in 1980 and is continuing. Ranger then consisted of two orebodies with a total of approximately 110,000 tonnes of U3O8, but one of these, with half of that ore, is now mined out. Capacity is about 5000 tonnes U3O8 per year.
