"Energy Resources of Australia has made it clear it wants to mine the Jabiluka uranium deposit within the Kakadu National Park. ERA owns and operates the nearby Ranger uranium mine, which provides the fuel for one per cent of the world's electricity. At the company's annual general meeting in Darwin today, shareholders were told the company is relying on the approval of a $36 million processing facility to recover an extra 20,000 tonnes of uranium oxide. The company has a mining lease until 2021, but told the meeting it would love to exploit the contentious Jabiluka deposit. "
