Funded Activity Summary

Biogeochemical controls on efficacy and sustainability of uranium heap leaching. Improvement of the heap leaching process planned for Ranger Mine is of immense economic importance to Energy Resources of Australia Ltd. This project will benefit Australia, including Indigenous Australians who represent 18 per cent of the workforce at Ranger, through other flow-on effects, such as job creation in the Alligator Rivers regional economy and wealth generation to traditional landowners and all Australians through increased royalty payments to the Australian Government. This project will also provide insights into minimising the impacts arising from contaminant mobilisation in acid sulphate environments, such as acid mine drainage. As such, this project will greatly benefit the economic strength, health and environmental integrity of Australia.
