News Release |

Monday, 21 September 2009
Minister for Mineral Resources Development Paul Holloway said today he was disappointed that Alliance Resources has announced a delay in the schedule for commissioning the Four Mile uranium mine.
Mr Holloway says the Government has supported the project from its inception and at all times Primary Industries and Resources S.A. has sought to facilitate this approval process.
"Registration of a native title agreement is a statutory requirement before the Minister may grant a mining lease on native title land," Mr Holloway says.
"Both joint venture partners have been unable to meet their obligations in regard to this registration and this has led to delays in the progress of the project.
"Resolution of the outstanding requirement remains an issue between the parties to the joint venture."
