  • In Situ Leach (ISL) Mining of Uranium
    In Situ Leach (ISL) Mining of Uranium (June 2009) l Most uranium mining in the USA and Kazakhstan is now by in situ leach methods, also known as in situ recovery (ISR). l In USA ISL is seen as the most cost effective and environmentally acceptable method of mining, and Australian experience supports this. l Australia's first ISL uranium mine is Beverley, which started operation late in 2000. The proposal for Honeymoon has government approval and it is expected to be operating in 2008. Conventional mining involves removing mineralised rock (ore) from the ground, breaking it up and treating it to remove the minerals being sought. In situ leaching (ISL), also known as solution mining, or in situ recovery (ISR) in North America, involves leaving the ore where it is in the ground, and recovering the minerals from it by dissolving them and pumping the pregnant solution to the surface where the minerals can be recovered. Consequently there is little surface disturbance and no tailings or waste rock generated. However, the orebody needs to be permeable to the liquids used, and located so that they do not contaminate ground water away from the orebody. Uranium ISL uses the native groundwater in the orebody which is fortified with a complexing agent and in most cases an oxidant. It is then pumped through the underground orebody to recover the minerals in it by leaching. Once the pregnant solution is returned to the surface, the uranium is recovered in much the same way as in any other uranium plant (mill). In Australian ISL mines (Beverley and the soon to be opened Honeymoon Mine) the oxidant used is hydrogen peroxide and the complexing agent sulfuric acid.

The enduring strength of this State’s leadership in uranium mining is an insistence Access to information and education is on world’s best practice for managing our the key to challenging these perceptions. resources. Uranium – The Facts is just that, the facts that should be the basis for any informed debate Our global reputation enables us to attract about uranium and South Australia’s current the world’s leading uranium miners and role in the global nuclear fuel cycle. lead the country in annual production.

It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

  • Seeking a Balance Conservation and Resource Use in the Northern Flinders Ranges
    Seeking a Balance Conservation and resource use in the Northern Flinders Ranges Government of South Australia Protecting the values of the Northern Flinders Ranges The Flinders Ranges has some of the most recognisable and loved landscapes in South Australia, with outstanding environmental, cultural, and tourism values. The Northern Flinders Ranges is also one of the most geologically diverse and prospective areas in Australia, with a long history of exploration and mining and potential mineral and energy resources of national and international significance. The concentration of all of these values in one region is unique. Making decisions requires care to ensure that there is a balance between conservation and resource use. The State’s Development Plan for the Flinders Ranges (Land not within a Council Area (Flinders)), established under the Development Act 1993, was last consolidated in 2003. Much of the Northern Flinders Ranges lies within the Development Plan’s Environmental Class A Zone. The prime objectives of the Environmental Class A Zone seek to conserve the natural character and environment of the area and to protect the landscape from damage by mining operations and exploring for new resources. Reflecting these objectives, Government already places strict conditions and regulatory controls on mineral and energy exploration and on proposed mining activities in the region. Given the unique values of the region, the South Australian Government recognises the need to further refine the existing management and regulatory framework for ongoing resource activities. In doing this, the key environmental values of the region will be protected, and there will also be greater certainty for exploration and mining companies, landowners, traditional owners and the community.
