Grand Canyon Uranium Mine Could Re-Open Within Two Years, Despite Obama’s Hard-Rock Mining Ban

Greener Ideal reported that, despite Obama’s ban for most hard-rock mining in 2012, Energy Fuel Resources’ uranium mine, located in the Grand Canyon could be operational again within the next two years.

As quoted in the market report:

Energy Fuel Resources is standing by their mine. Despite the age of the study, they say the Forest Service evaluated the situation carefully and felt that it was appropriate to allow the mine to reopen. In addition, they cite the small size of the mine, emphasizing the fact that is only around 20 acres, and the fact that uranium is plentiful throughout the site.
