Operations

Energy Resources of Australia Ltd (ERA) is one of the largest uranium producers in the world, producing around eight per cent of the world's mined uranium production.

Since 1980, the Company has mined ore and produced drummed uranium oxide at its Ranger mine, 260 kilometres east of Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory.

ERA also holds title to the Jabiluka deposit, 22 kilometres north of Ranger. This world-class deposit is under long term care and maintenance and will not be developed by ERA without the consent of the Mirarr Traditional Owners.

The process for extracting uranium ore from the mine to producing drums of uranium oxide involves a number of complex operations, including exploration, extraction, sorting, crushing, and production.
