Mary Kathleen Uranium; Mary Kathleen Open Cut


A uranium mine located east of Mt Isa. Closed about 1984. Mining was carried out from 1956 to 1963 and 1975 to 1982, and originally contained about 10,0000t of U2O3 and 200,000t of rare earth oxides (Scott & Scott, 1985).

It produced almost 9,000 tonnes of 'yellowcake' (uranium oxide). One of Australia’s oldest uranium mines, it was initially developed to supply the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, and it later supplied uranium to Japan, Germany, and the United States.

It is said to be 250 metres deep, 4 kilometres wide at the top and 100 metres wide at the bottom.

In the 1980s, unions and environmental groups actively campaigned against uranium exports, particularly from the Mary Kathleen mine. Issues were the possible dangers of leaked radioactive material, how the Australian uranium might be used, and the government financial support needed to keep the mine open. Concern over security was also expressed, after 2 tonnes of 'yellowcake' from the mine were found in Sydney.

On closure of the mine, Mary Kathleen Uranium Ltd implemented a rehabilitation plan to cover any radioactive material at the site (including safely disposing of mining waste, known as ‘tailings’) and to encourage native revegetation. It was the first open-cut mine-rehabilitation plan of its kind in Australia. The site has been rehabilitated, but now shows signs of deterioration and leaching.

When production ceased in 1984 at the mine, the mine and town were dismantled and sold. It is said to have been Australia’s largest auction.
Now a ghost town, part of the road systems, parks, and concrete slabs of the once existing buildings are all that remain of a flourishing community of 1,000 people. Four wheel drive is needed to access areas of the mine.

The deposit is associated with garnetite in a sequence of amphibolite-grade calc-silicate granofels, quartzite and pelitic metasediments, about 1780 — 1740Ma. Various granites, gabbros, porphyry, and dolerite dykes are associated (Scott & Scott, 1985).

Note on the mineral list: Bixbyite, calcite, halite, magnetite, sylvite, antarcticite, yttrotantalite(Y)(?) are reported as daughter crystals in fluid inclusions in garnet (Kwak & Abeysinghe, 1987).
