At Jabiluka, never so few ...

Article Abstract:

Australian aboriginal groups support Energy Resources of Australia's new Jabiluka uranium mine, but the Mirrar traditional owners are attempting to stop its construction. The aboriginal groups, who receive mining royalty payments as available, are in favor of the new mine as a way to economically improve the quality of life and social conditions. On the other hand, Mirrar traditional owners foresee environmental concerns and social and cultural disorganization if the mine is built.

Explorers hit by budget cuts

Article Abstract:

Australia's $2 billion mining and exploration resources industry was dealt a big blow when the government made a 20% funding cut to the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO). AGSO provides to exploration companies necessary geophysical data to discover new resources. The budget has been trimmed by $11 million to $41 million. Budget cuts will affect substantial geological surveys.

After Prescott, a quick-fire salvage effort

Article Abstract:

Financial troubles plaguing Australia's BHP mining company are becoming more critical as the company seeks a new chief executive. Although previous CEO John Prescott had planned $1 billion in cost-cutting measures between 1998 and 2000, observers agree that the new CEO must trim much more than that. The measures have been too long in coming, and now deeper cuts are needed.
