Berkeley one permit away from building uranium mine in Spain

Australia-listed Berkeley Energia is one permit away from starting full construction of the four-million-pound-a-year Salamanca uranium mine, in Spain.

The company this week announced that the Municipality of Retortillo had granted its urbanism licence (UL), which is the land use permit needed for construction works.

The authorisation for construction for the uranium concentrate plant as a radioactive facility (NSC II) is now the only pending approval required to commence full construction of the mine, Berkeley said.
