The mine is located 12 km from the town of Arandis, which lies 70 km inland from the coastal town of Swakopmund in Namibia’s Erongo Region.

The mine site encompasses a mining license and accessory works areas of 129.79 km2, of which 25 km² is used for mining, waste disposal and processing.

Mining is done by blasting, loading and hauling from the open pit before the uranium-bearing rock is processed to produce uranium oxide. The open pit currently measures 3.5 km by 1.5 km and is 390 m deep.
