Locals, NGOs take aim at Toro Energy over Wiluna uranium mine

Toro Energy

Toro Energy has rejected claims it did not consult generally enough about its designed uranium mine in WA, but concedes it has sponsored a scientist who argues low level radiation is valuable to health.

The state's Environmental Protection Authority last week backed Toro's proposal to extend WA's initial uranium mine, the Wiluna project.All that remains for the mine to go ahead is a optimistic decision to proceed by the company's board, and maintain by state Environment Minister Bill Marmion and his federal counterpart Tony Burke.

On Monday, Wiluna local and indigenous elder Glen Cooke said he was dangerous of the community consultation procedure undertaken by Toro and now required consultation from the environment ministers.Mr Cooke said he was supported by other locals.
