This is the final environmental approval required for the uranium project and is in addition to the environmental approval that the company received in January this year.

According to the company, the linear infrastructure entails access roads, electricity, telecommunications and water supply.

Extract Resources managing director Jonathan Leslie said with the environmental approvals now in place, the company looks forward to receiving its mining licence from the Ministry of Mines and Energy.

In December 2010, the company submitted an application for getting the mining licence.
