Public can comment on Cameco’s uranium plans – still time left for this
Deadline looms for say on Cameco uranium plans http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-28/deadline-looms-for-say-on-cameco-uranium-plans/5925776 27 Nov 2014, The public has a week to give feedback on a proposal for a company to mine uranium ore in WA’s northern Goldfields.
The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is assessing Cameco’s proposal to mine and process uranium at Yeelirrie, an open pit mine site 70 kilometres south-west of Wiluna.
In May 2010, the EPA approved a similar proposal for the same project submitted by BHP Billiton, before it was sold to Cameco in 2012.
The company plans to extend the roughly 30-year mine life and increase the rate of milling and processing previously outlined to 7,500 tonnes per year.
The public has seven days to comment on the proposal.
