Environmental groups who sued the U.S. Forest Service to force full environmental reviews of a uranium exploration project near the Grand Canyon say the government has agreed to do the studies.
A federal judge in Phoenix had barred VANE Minerals Group from drilling 39 test holes at seven sites on the Kaibab National Forest in April. U.S. District Judge Mary Murguia's order did not permanently stop the exploration, but she indicated that the environmental groups were likely to prevail after a full hearing.
