The move follows the successful hot commissioning of the atmospheric leach circuit at the Dominion mill. Chief executive Neal Froneman said, "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."
