An Alice Springs environment group say the Northern Territory Government has ignored community opposition to uranium exploration south of the town.
The Government has granted a mining joint venture an exploration licence for the Angela and Pamela deposits 25 kilometres from the town.
The companies plan to begin drilling next year once they get the necessary sacred sites and environmental approvals.
But Natalie Wasley, from the Arid Lands Environment Centre, says the Government should have blocked the application on behalf of the community.
