Western Australia’s uranium hopeful Toro Energy’s office locked down
There are currently people locked inside uranium miners, Toro Energy Ltd, West Perth office calling for a ban on uranium mining.
The Anti Nuclear Alliance of WA (ANAWA) and other anti nuclear supporters have paid a visit to Toro’s West Perth office to ‘clean up’ their mess to coincide with Toro Energy’s annual general meeting.
ANAWA Spokesperson Marcus Atkinson said “Uranium is different to other minerals – the mine wastes are radioactive and they pose a unique risk to our environment, along with potential risk to tax payers.”
“There is no example anywhere of a uranium mine that has been closed and rehabilitated without doing serious environmental damage.”
“As the uranium price keeps falling there is no guarantee this small inexperienced company could survive the first few years of mining.”
“We’re concerned this company will get approvals, the project will become uneconomic and that West Australians will be left holding the cleanup bill of another contaminated site.”
“It’s time Toro came clean on the mine closure plan and costs of this dirty proposal.”
There will be protests in Perth, Adelaide and Darwin in opposition to the mining and transportation of uranium.
