Canada-based Cameco will not be able to proceed with the Yeelirrie uranium mine in Western Australia due to concerns about its impact on the habitat of stygofauna. The state’s Environmental Protection Authority ruled that the proposed mine would put at risk the future of 11 species of the prawn-like crustacean, although Cameco is optimistic that the project can still gain environmental approval. However, it concedes that the project would not be economically viable given the current price of uranium.
