Environmental Groups Push For Outlawing Uranium Mining

The Australian reported groups are hoping to convince Canada’s Northern Territory government to rule out uranium mining at a site near Alice Springs.

As quoted in the market news:

With territorians going to the polls on August 25, the Arid Lands Environment Centre (ALEC) and the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) are calling on Labor Resources Minister Kon Vatskalis to make a special reserved land order to protect it from mining.

But Mr Vatskalis said he does not support the establishment of a uranium mine at Angela Pamela, but would not make a special protection order because exploration permits had already been issued.
