Description
Description | The Westmoreland uranium project is a large undeveloped uranium deposit located in Queensland's Gulf of Carpentaria, around 380 km north-west of Mount Isa, near the Northern Territory border. Owned by Laramide Resources through its subsidiary Tackle Resources, it hosts several uranium deposits and is one of the largest uranium development projects in Australia. Feasibility studies have examined an open-pit mining operation with conventional leaching to produce uranium concentrate. The project is currently progressing permitting and development planning but has not yet been developed due to uranium mining restrictions in Queensland. |
