Proposal submitted for restart of uranium mining in Reynosa
Ernesto Gastón González Sepúlveda, university professor of the Universidad del Atlántico, registered in time and forms the proposal to restart uranium mining in Reynosa for export. The proposal is to be considered by the Congress of the Union. The former para-state-run enterprise Uranio Mexicano (Uramex) had demonstrated the existence of important uranium deposits in the area.

Kennecott fined for illegal uranium extraction
Rio Tinto's subsidiary Kennecott was fined for illegally mining uranium in the Loxicha region in southern Mexico's Oaxaca state. Its license was canceled. Under Mexican law, uranium extraction and processing is the sole prerogative of the state. Kennecott carried out surface exploration and drilling on three concessions in Oaxaca, named Elvira I, II and III until October 1999.
