DENVER - Uranium mining, banned on the Navajo Nation, advanced closer to
tribal boundaries when the U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission's licensing of in situ leach uranium mining at
four sites near Crownpoint and Church Rock in New Mexico.

The split decision by a three-judge panel March 8 also denied a request for
review of one of the sites near Church Rock where Hydro Resources, Inc.,
whose parent company is Uranium Resources Inc., has a joint venture with
Itochu, a Tokyo-headquartered transnational, to begin producing an estimated
six to nine million pounds of uranium annually from New Mexico.
