Tiris uranium green lit

AURA Energy has received environmental approval for its $US45 million Tiris uranium project in Mauritania, West Africa.

Aura Energy executive chairman Peter Reeve said the approval marked a major milestone for the company as it worked towards its production goal.

“This step is pivotal as the main project precursor to pursuing production offtake and project financing arrangements,” Mr Reeve said.

Aura will now be required to set up a radiation monitoring system under the supervision and control of the National Radiation Protection, Nuclear Safety and Security Authority (ARSN).
