Crossland is well placed to participate in the revitalised uranium mining industry. In addition to the general requirements for mineral exploration, uranium exploration and mining requires knowledge in a number of highly specialised technical fields:
- Uranium ore body styles and modes of occurrence
- Nuclear physics, the natural radiation environment, and uranium's chemical behaviour
- Geophysical and geochemical technologies for identifying uranium prospects and testing for mineralisation
- Uranium project development, mining, OH&S, and environmental issues
Following a long period of inactivity in the uranium exploration industry globally, knowledge and expertise in these fields is not widespread. Crossland stands out amongst the crowd of emerging uranium exploration companies because its board and management include some of the most experienced people in Australia in these fields, with particular relevance to northern Australia.
