No ordinary mining company
The leader for over 25 years.
For over 25 years, Heathgate has been the leader in responsible uranium mining in Australia, with a strong focus on safety and innovation, within a strong regulatory framework.
A Smarter Approach to Uranium Production
We use in-situ recovery (ISR), a low-impact mining method that recovers uranium from underground with minimal surface disturbance. There are no open pits, no underground tunnels, and no tailings. This protects the landscape while supporting safe, efficient operations.
Since introducing ISR to Australia, we have produced millions of pounds of uranium and continue to improve how uranium is discovered, recovered, and managed using data and technology. This work supports reliable supply for cleaner energy generation.
Heathgate has mined uranium in South Australia since 2000, first at Beverley and then Beverley North. Our current uranium production is centred at the Four Mile Mine in the Frome Basin, east of the Flinders Ranges and about 550 kilometres north of Adelaide.
Our contribution
Heathgate has invested more than $2.5 billion in mine infrastructure and partners with local businesses and suppliers across Australia. Together with royalties and taxes, this represents a significant economic contribution at local, state and federal levels.
Heathgate Resources is owned by General Atomics, a US corporation headquartered in San Diego, California. General Atomics is known for technology-led innovation across multiple sectors that contribute to a cleaner energy future.
