Group Works To Protect Alice Springs From Uranium Mining

IBTimes reported green and health groups are seeking protection of Alice Springs from uranium mining.

As quoted in the market news:

To give the initiative a stronger push, the Arid Lands Environment Centre (ALEC) and the Public Health Association of Australian (PHAA) asked Northern Territory Resources Minister Kon Vatskalis to come up with a special reserve land order.

By issuing the order, Alice Springs residents would be provided certainty since it would require surrender of the current exploration licence granted to joint venture partners Paladin Energy and Cameco, a Canadian firm.
