The Rush is On for Uranium in Weld County
Another mining company is staking claim to thousands of acres of mineral lease rights in northeastern Weld County in preparation for possible uranium extraction around the ghost town of Keota. Geovic Mining Corp., a Grand Junction-based company, has leased mineral rights on more than 15,000 acres in the Keota area through about 100 lease agreements signed through 2007, according to documents filed with the Weld County recorder.
