Rio Tinto to proceed with cleanup of Ranger uranium mine; Site to be incorporated into surrounding Kakadu National Park

摘要

WITH ITS ADMISSION that it plans to fully take over Energy Resources Australia (ERA), Rio Tinto will be allowed to proceed with the cleanup of the Ranger uranium mine. The Guardian reported that Rio Tinto's plans to help fund the cleanup of the mine were blocked after Zentree Investments, which owns about 16 percent of ERA, objected to the proposal. The admission by Rio Tinto fulfils conditions set by the Takeovers Panel.
