The original proposal was to establish open cut mines at Lake Way and Centipede deposits.
[1] In 2013, the Wiluna project became the first uranium mine to receive all necessary approvals in the state of Western Australia since the ban on uranium mining was repealed there in 2008.
Federal environmental approval for the mine's development was granted under the EPBC Act in April 2013.
[5] The mine was originally proposed to operate for 14 years, producing 1,200 tonnes (1,300 short tons) of Uranium oxide over that period,[1] though more recent projects suggest 16 years of mining potential.
[6] Once operating, containers of uranium oxide would be transported to Port Adelaide and exported from there.
