| History of the Gabanintha Uranium Project |
|
Uranium exploration commenced in this area in the 1970s with WMC being the most active explorer. It discovered the world’s first uranium calcrete-hosted style deposit at Nowthanna as well as several other uranium occurrences culminating with the world’s largest calcrete-hosted deposit at Yeelirrie. These WMC leases, now controlled by BHP, hold an estimated 51,000 tonnes of contained U3O8.
