The La Sal Mine is part of a complex of mines that are still being worked to this day, owned and operated by Energy Fuels, the largest producer of uranium in the United States. La Sal #2 operated in the 1970’s and supplied ore to the Atlas uranium mill, located in Moab. All that remains of this mine is a concrete support structure backfilled to prevent entry.
