by building a new mill at Shirley Basin, Wyoming with a capacity of 2. 3 million pounds of uranium oxide a year. The Shirley Basin project will be converted from solution mining to an open pit operation. This program calls for capital expenditures of $20 million and should be completed in 1971. With the existing Lucky Mc mine and mill producing around 2 million pounds, and with Shirley Basin in operation, Utah will have a total production capacity of approximately 4. 3 million pounds of uranium oxide annually. Already under way were expansion programs at existing projects. Our Navajo steam coal mine is increasing its capacity from 2 1/2 million tons yearly to 8 1/2 million tons. Our Blackwater coking coal mine in Australia is increasing its capacity from 1 1/2 million tons to 3 million tons. And Mt. Goldsworthy is increasing its capacity from 5 million tons to 6 million tons. In all, $227 million had been authorized for capital expansion and $44 million had been expended by year end. These figures do not include the expansion programs being carried out by Marcona and Pima. Since the end of our 1969 fiscal year $570 million has been added to the mineral sales backlog and $57 million to our capital expansion plans. Several items make up this increase in our backlog. $10 million of uranium ha been sold for delivery in 1970 and 1971. We have concluded a 5-year contract with Mitsubishi Shoji for another 30% of our concentrate production from Island Copper, adding $65 million to the backlog. Mt. Goldsworthy has concluded an additional long-term sale of 52. 6 million tons of iron ore through 1980, accounting for $145 million of the increase. This will require a shipping -6-
