Australia’s Resource Minister Calls For End To Uranium Ban

Mining Weekly reported Australia’s Federal Resource Minister has called on the government of Queensland to lift its ban on uranium mining.

As quoted in the market news:

In an address to the AusIMM International Uranium Conference, in Adelaide, South Australia, Ferguson said that the state already permitted uranium exploration, and was estimated to host at least 37 000 t of uranium resource.

Ferguson’s comments come in the wake of the New South Wales government lifting its ban on uranium during March, and Western Australia approving the development of its first uranium mine.
