"In defiance of legal challenges and a US government moratorium, Canadian company Denison Mines has started mining uranium on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is ancestral homeland of the Havasupai and Hualapi Nations.

Denison plans on extracting 335 tons of uranium ore per day out of the 'Arizona 1 Mine'.
