White Mesa Mill

White Mesa Mill is a uranium and rare-earth processing facility located in Utah, United States. The mill is operated by Energy Fuels and is the only conventional uranium mill currently operating in the US. It is situated near Blanding in south-eastern Utah and has been in operation since 1980. The facility processes uranium ore and, more recently, has expanded its operations to include the processing of rare-earth elements and other critical minerals. White Mesa Mill plays a strategic role in domestic supply chains for materials essential to defence, energy and advanced manufacturing sectors. The mill's rare-earth processing capabilities position it as a key asset in efforts to reduce reliance on foreign sources, particularly China, for critical minerals used in electric vehicles, magnets and other high-technology applications. Energy Fuels has invested in upgrading the facility to handle monazite sands and other rare-earth-bearing materials. The mill's capacity and regulatory approvals make it a focal point for US initiatives to secure domestic production of strategic materials. Its location in Utah provides access to regional mineral resources and established infrastructure for processing and logistics.
