When Uranium Knocks on your Door
"Spain is the country in Europe with the most uranium resources, and currently the only one with uranium in conditions that allow for its exploitation. In Retortillo, we have detected great amounts of uranium in addition to the reserves we were already aware of. This project will allow us to mine for about 10 years."
In August 2017, Berkeley Energia, a large energy conglomerate, announced a 120 million USD deal with the State General Reserve Fund (SGRF) - the sovereign wealth fund of Oman - to begin exploring the uranium reserves in Retortillo, a small municipality in Salamanca, Western Spain. In 2019, Berkeley announced the discovery of additional tungsten, cobalt, lithium and cobalt reserves.
To realise is vision, Berkeley purchased and sealed-off large portions of land and conducted large-scale felling to clear the way for the mines.
This project was reviewed by Paul Lowe, from UAL.
