Negotiations started last week between the Navajo Nation and Energy Fuels Resources, Inc., about transporting uranium ore through Navajo lands to a processing facility in Utah.
Gov. Katie Hobb’s office announced that both parties described the meeting as productive and committed to continued “good faith” conversations to reach an agreement.
The negotiations resulted from EFRI transporting uranium ore across the Navajo Nation at the end of July without making prior arrangements with the tribe or notifying it.
