“Final approvals have been given for Australia’s fourth uranium mine, the Honeymoon project, in South Australia’s north-east. The South Australian Environmental Protection Authority has issued a licence to Southern Cross Resources to operate at the site, 80 kilometres north-west of Broken Hill. The licence allows uranium to be extracted using a technique known as acid in situ leaching. It involves forcing fluid into underground aquifers and bringing the uranium to the surface.” (09/29/06)
