Yeelirrie is one of Australia's largest undeveloped uranium deposits.
The approval for the Yeelirrie project, received from the prior state government, required substantial commencement of the project by January 2022, and this was not achieved. The current government declined to grant an extension to achieve it. In the future, Cameco can again apply for an extension of time to achieve substantial commencement of the project. If granted by a future government, Cameco could commence the Yeelirrie project, provided they have all other required regulatory approvals. Approval for the Yeelirrie project at the federal level was granted in 2019 and extends until 2043.
No work is planned at Yeelirrie in 2024. |
