By 1 January 1947, approximately {{convert|379,671|ST|t|order=flip}} of ore tailings had been purchased, yielding about {{convert|1,349|ST|t|order=flip}} of black oxide. Of this, {{convert|891|ST|t|order=flip}} came from USV, {{convert|230|ST|t|order=flip}} from VCA, {{convert|135|ST|t|order=flip}} from the Metals Reserve Company, {{convert|26|ST|t|order=flip}} from the [[Vitro Manufacturing Company]] and {{convert|67|ST|t|order=flip}} from other sources. The total cost of procurement from American sources approximately USD$2,072,330 ({{Inflation|US|2,072,330|1947|fmt=eq}}).{{sfn|Manhattan District|1947a|pp=4.1–4.3}}{{sfn|Jones|1985|pp=310–311}}
To conserve uranium, the [[War Production Board]] prohibited the sale or purchase of uranium compounds for use in ceramics on 26 January 1943. In August, the use of uranium in the photography was restricted to essential military and industrial applications. The Madison Square Area bought up all available stocks. This amounted to {{convert|270|ST|t|order=flip}} of black oxide recoverable from uranium salts, at a cost of USD$1,056,130 ({{Inflation|US|1,056,130|1947|fmt=eq}}).{{sfn|Manhattan District|1947a|pp=5.1–5.3}}
