CAMECO is preparing to perform a groundbreaking drilling program at its Kintyre project in Pilbara, Western Australia.
The Canadian miner plans to extract at least 79 million pounds of uranium ore from the site previously owned by Rio Tinto.
Cameco says it is currently building a 40-person mine camp and ‘warming up’ the drills for what will be a substantially funded drilling program.
Industry officials believe this is the latest sign that WA’s uranium sector is headed for a boom period following the election of pro-uranium Premier Colin Barnett.
