of uranium amid a restarting of activities at its Honeymoon uranium mine in New South Wales, Australia, where production was halted in 2013 due to low prices for the radioactive material.

Australia currently has two active uranium mines — BHP’s Olympic Dam and Heathgate Resources’ in-situ recovery Four Mile mine.
