Let’s make the Department of Natural Resources office uphold their slogan: Protecting South Dakota’s Tomorrow…Today.
Foreign companies, most of them from Canada, want to mine local uranium. Currently, the largest markets for uranium are China and India.
Uranium One, which owns in situ leach uranium projects in eastern Wyoming, is being bought by ARMZ, a company that is controlled by the Russian government.
At least four companies are active in the Black Hills area – Bayswater, Uranium One, Cameco, and Azarga Uranium Corp./Powertech.
In-situ operations run by Cameco have a record of ongoing spills, leaks, and water contamination.
Powertech Resources Inc., is a company our neighbors in Wyoming and Colorado know all too well because of their past “inordinate number of spills” and leaks.
Azarga Uranium Corp. wants to mine uranium in a similar fashion HERE, in the BLACK HILLS Region.
