Honeymoon Uranium Mine

South Australia, Australia

The Honeymoon Mine was Australia's second operating in-situ recovery uranium mine, beginning production in 2011. It is located in South Australia and is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Broken Hill, New South Wales. Honeymoon is a sandstone-hosted paleochannel deposit. Operations at Honeymoon were suspended in November 2013, following difficulties in reaching production targets, high costs and a falling uranium price. The project was placed in care and maintenance, then sold by Uranium One (a 100% subsidiary of Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation) to Boss Resources and Wattle Mining (as of March 2018 a subsidiary of Boss) in September 2015 for a sum of A$9 million. Boss Resources anticipates resuming production at the mine in 2019.
