Grand Canyon drilling plans stopped

The drills next to the Grand Canyon have stopped for now. A federal judge halted all plans by a British mining company called VANE Minerals to drill for uranium less than three miles from the national park.

VANE Minerals immediately turned off the drills off at several sites.  Read the release | Read more about the campaign | Take action
