Wiluna uranium mine
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Wiluna uranium mine is a proposed uranium mine in Western Australia. The mine project, owned by Toro Energy Ltd, located 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of the mining town of Wiluna. The proposal is for two open cut mines of identified deposits at Lake Way and Centipede.[1]
Toro Energy had planned to commission and construct the mine in 2013 and make their first sales in 2014.[2]
Federal environmental approval for the mine's development was granted under the EPBC Act in April 2013.[3]
As of 2013, production is expected to commence in 2015.[4]
The mine is proposed to operate for 14 years, producing 1,200 tonnes (1,300 short tons) of Uranium oxide over that period.[1]
