Officials set aside $200,000 proposed uranium mine
Fearing contamination in the Evangeline Aquifer, Goliad County has joined with ranchers, environmentalists and economic development groups to fight a proposed uranium mine.
The Goliad County Groundwater Conservation District said it measured an increase in minerals and iron in wells during the past year as Uranium Energy Corp. explored for uranium in the area. The minerals resulted in clogged filters and discolored water.
County officials joined with the Sierra Club, local ranchers and representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Council recently to announce their intentions to fight the mine.
Goliad County, which has about 7,000 residents and is about 80 miles southeast of San Antonio, has allotted $200,000 for the campaign.
"It is our county. It is our water, and it is our future," said Art Dohmann, president of the groundwater district.
Uranium Energy Corp., which has offices in Canada and the southwestern United States, is seeking a permit from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for a full-scale mining operation.
Company officials couldn't be reached for comment, but they have said that their exploration for uranium has nothing to do with the well contamination. They have cited a letter from the state Railroad Commission that blames the contamination on "natural sources."
The company would use a method known as in situ mining, which involves injecting an oxygenated solution into the ground to help mobilize and leach out the uranium.
Local officials fear that the mining is changing the flow of the Evangeline Aquifer, which could flush high levels of radium into the drinking supply. Radium has been found in test wells. The groundwater district commissioned an engineering study, which found that its concerns were valid.
High levels of iron and minerals have been measured in a well owned by goat rancher Mary Anklam, whose property is near the operation. She said she lost several interested buyers when they found out her Boer goats were raised near the proposed uranium mine.
"They are afraid the babies will be deformed or that they won't be able to eat the meat," she said. "Last year, I had people coming saying, 'I'll buy every baby that hits the ground.' "
Pat Calhoun, president of the Goliad County Farm Bureau, said the uncertainty is a problem, whether or not the mine's threat is real. He said he's been unable to find solid information on what long-term exposure would do to livestock.
"There are no answers to our questions. That's the point," he said.
"Nobody knows."

Uranium Provides Report : Southern Uranium Cocky Swamp Prgress Report
Southern Uranium advised the drilling of a 1,000m drill hole to test the Cocky Swamp iron oxide copper gold uranium target is postponed until March 2008. The Acting Director Woomera Test Facility advised access to EL 3603 is denied for the period 1 October 2007 to 29 February 2008 due to Defence Activities. This was in response to a request for drill access after heritage clearances were obtained and a drill contractor was secured to undertake the drill test in late October.
Uranium Project : Andrew Lloyd Uranium Mine, Garfield County, Utah
Bluerock Resources Ltd. announces Phase I drilling program results from the Andrew Lloyd Uranium Mine, PSC Project, in the Orange Cliffs Mining District, south central Utah, U.S.A. The drilling program targeted the channel extension of the Andrew Lloyd Uranium Mine where historic(i) production graded 0.17% U3O8. Based on initial drilling results, the Company has modified the permitted Phase II drill program and is awaiting regulatory approval.
The Phase I exploration program consisted of 10 vertical rotary drill holes, totalling 375.3 metres (1,231.3 feet), and the mapping, and survey by scintillometer, of over 240 metres (800 feet) of the existing underground workings at the Andrew Lloyd Uranium Mine. Upon the completion of drilling, all holes were tested by a Company, hand-crank, gamma probe to identify any areas of anomalous uranium mineralization. The geophysical results were generally low and it was therefore determined not to bring a third party geophysical contractor to gamma probe the drill holes. The drill holes did not intersect the main channel target as they were interpreted to have been drilled slightly north of the channel.
Contract personnel are currently working on amending the Phase I drill permits to allow for multiple drill holes to be drilled from the permitted drill sites, a process anticipated to take four to six weeks. Drilling at the Andrew Lloyd Project will resume on receipt of the amended permits and will focus on intersecting the Andrew Lloyd mineralized channel structure.
The Company has also modified the permits for its additional targets within the PSC Project, the Recapture and Rainbow Ridge areas. These programs will consist of core recovery drilling on inclined holes and vertical rotary table air blast drilling followed by gamma logging by third party contract geologists and, where warranted, anomalous intersections will be twinned with core recovery holes to allow for chemical analysis.
The PSC Project consists of 43 claims in five distinct claim blocks, in the Orange Cliffs Uranium District of Utah. The Project encompasses two past producing mines, the Silver Bell Uranium Mine and the Andrew Lloyd Uranium Mine, along with two historic(i) drill outs, and the one grass roots prospect. The Orange Cliffs District is a Chinle Formation Uranium Camp located less than 50 miles (80km) to the north east of Uranium One's Shootaring Canyon uranium mill.
President Michael Collins commented: "The results of Phase I drilling at the PSC have given us a clear focus for follow up drilling at the Andrew Lloyd Uranium Mine and a better understanding of the local depositional variables as we initiate Phase II of our on-going uranium exploration programs on the PSC Project."
Paul D. Gray, P.Geo. is the Qualified Person with respect to the PSC Project and has reviewed and approved this press release.
