The Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining's Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program permanently closed 17 abandoned mines last month near popular Jeep and mountain biking trails in the Klondike Bluffs area north of Moab. The 11 uranium mines and six copper mines are all located on lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

 

“These mines were closed to protect public safety,” Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (DOGM) project manager Susan White said. “People are intrigued by mine openings and often want to explore inside. These old mines contain dangerous gases and unstable structures.”

Current activity[edit]

 

All of Utah’s numerous uranium mines closed prior to 2000, because of low uranium prices.

 

On June 29, 2012, Energy Fuels Inc. acquired all of Denison Mines uranium properties located in the United States, including the mines discussed below.[12][13] In late 2006, Denison Mines reopened the Pandora mine in the La Sal mining district of southeastern Utah.[14] Denison Mines received all the required permits from the state of Utah and the US Bureau of Land Management to reopen its Tony M uranium mine in the Henry Mountains. The Henry Mountains Complex (including the Tony M mine) is said to contain 12.8 million pounds of U3O8.[15] The Pandora mine and Henry Mountains Complex, in addition to the Beaver and Daneros mines, were placed on standby, care and maintenance by Energy Fuels in the Fall of 2012.[16]

 

Energy Fuels Inc. acquired the White Mesa Mill from Denison Mines on June 29, 2012.[17][18] The White Mesa Mill, located near Blanding, Utah, is the only conventional uranium (and vanadium) mill operating in the United States. Energy Fuels is currently processing conventional ore and "alternate feed material" received from other North American producers. After a scheduled shut-down from mid-2009, the mill resumed processing production ore in March 2010.[19]

fficials have confirmed that the U.S. military, despite vowing not to use depleted uranium weapons on the battlefield in Iraq and Syria, fired thousands of rounds of the munitions during two high-profile raids on oil trucks in Islamic State-controlled Syria in late 2015. The air assaults mark the first confirmed use of this armament since the 2003 Iraq invasion, when it was used hundreds of thousands of times, setting off outrage among local communities, which alleged that its toxic material caused cancer and birth defects.

 

U.S. Central Command (Centcom) spokesman Maj. Josh Jacques told Airwars and Foreign Policy that 5,265 armor-piercing 30 mm rounds containing depleted uranium (DU) were shot from Air Force A-10 fixed-wing aircraft on Nov. 16 and Nov. 22, 2015, destroying about 350 vehicles* in the country’s eastern desert.

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani whizzed around Rome and Paris this week with dozens of Iranian CEOs in tow, signing deals worth billions of dollars to export oil, overhaul his country’s airline fleet, manufacture cars, and more. On Thursday, Rouhani received a red-carpet greeting from President François Hollande and a trumpet blast of welcome at France’s Foreign Ministry before numerous signing ceremonies inking business contracts that will last for years.

 

The absence of U.S. businesses in this week’s business frenzy has been striking. The lightning round of deal-making comes just 10 days after the U.N. nuclear sanctions was lifted—the result of years of negotiations, ironically much of it led by U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry.

 

With U.S. sanctions relating to human rights violations and support of terrorism still in place, and Congress vowing to block any moves to lift them, America has put itself in a vacuum when it comes to dealing with Iran – and the Europeans are racing to fill it.
