Energy Fuels operates uranium mines near Moab in La Sal, and also operates the Pinyon Plain mine near the Grand Canyon. They also operate the uranium mill next to the White Mesa Ute Community in San Juan County which is turning into an international radioactive dump.
Please join us to support the White Mesa Ute Community, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Navajo/Dine community groups, and the Havasupai Tribe who are working together to stop more uranium mining and transportation and dumping of radioactive materials at the Energy Fuels mill/dump next to White Mesa.
