You can add SXR to the list as they started producing in Late Feb 2007 Uranium One Announces Commencement of Processing Uranium Ore at Dominion 09:15 EST Thursday, March 01, 2007 Trading Symbol: SXR - Toronto Stock Exchange, JSE Limited (Johannesburg Stock Exchange) TORONTO and JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, March 1 /CNW/ - sxr Uranium One Inc. ("Uranium One") today announced that processing of underground uranium ore at its Dominion Reefs Uranium Mine commenced on schedule this week following the successful hot commissioning of the atmospheric leach circuit at the Dominion mill. As detailed in the 2006 Dominion project feasibility study, the mill also includes a pressure leach circuit incorporating two autoclaves designed to be brought online this year in a staged approach. In accordance with the feasibility study, the pressure leach circuit utilizing the first autoclave will be ready for hot commissioning duringApril 2007 . This circuit will enable the Dominion plant to realize designed recoveries and a throughput of 100,000 tonnes per month. The commissioning of the second autoclave, scheduled forAugust 2007, will increase plant capacity to 200,000 tonnes per month. As previously announced, the plant production ramp-up is initially expected to exceed the ore production from underground and spare plant capacity will be utilized by processing uranium and gold bearing slime from the Dominion dump resource. Test work has shown good recoveries are obtainable from the slime material and an 80,000 tonne per month hydraulic sluicing facility has been commissioned to supplement production from underground. Uranium One President and CEO Neal Froneman commented: "The commencement of ore processing at Dominion, in line with targets we set for ourselves in 2003, marks one of the most important milestones in the development of Uranium One. The achievement of these targets is a testament to the commitment and professionalism of our team and the consultants and contractors who have assisted us, and we look forward to completion of the ramp-up to full production. In the meantime, we remain un-hedged and ideally placed to benefit from the current high uranium prices and from any further increases in the uranium price."
