Virginia panel recommends bill on Uranium Virginia panel recommends bill on uranium mining for 2013 General Assembly
"... Sen. John C. Watkins (R-Midlothian) said he expects to submit legislation to lift the ban as early as next week. His proposal would apply only to the proposed mining site in south-central Virginia owned by Virginia Uranium.
“This isolates it to Coles Hill,” said Watkins, whose legislation would not seek to lift the ban statewide. “I want the bill to pass. If there were other entities that were doing research and development in other places in the state . . . I don’t know of any.”
Virginia Uranium spokesman Patrick Wales, who spoke at the commission’s hearing on Monday, called the vote “a big step forward for our project.”..."
Interesting times, but come to think of it, don't you think a seasoned managemnet team such as the one on EFR would not have given Virginia Uranium any money, unless they were assured that the ban would be lifted? Just my guess... We shall see if the legislature lifts the ban shortly...
