Earth AI, Legacy Minerals make first greenfield palladium discovery using artificial intelligence
The companies announced the verified discovery of one of the largest palladium mineral systems in Australia.
The Environment Centre NT (ECNT) and the Australian Conservation Foundation recently accused Energy Resources of Australia Limited (ERA) of expanding operations at its Ranger 3 Deeps project without environmental assessments.
The accusation was made after ERA received federal approval for an extension to the project.
Cat Beaton, spokesperson for ECNT, disclosed that ERA will now no longer need further federal approvals for additional tunneling, mining and processing of uranium at the site.
“It is unacceptable that these key elements of this project are advancing without any environmental assessment or public input,” added Beaton.
However, Rob Atkinson, CEO of ERA, denied the claims by saying that the company is not looking to expand the project and not planning to process its 30,000-ton uranium sample.
