Government to share uranium exploitation plan outlined
In a parliament statement, Minerals and Energy Minister Connor said the Atomic Securities Commission would partner with Peko Mines Pty Ltd and Electrolytic Zinc Co of Australasia Pty Ltd to mine Ranger deposits in the Northern Territory. Ranger Uranium Mines Pty Ltd would hold 50 percent, with the two companies each at 25 percent, financing costs around 100 million dollars plus 10 to 20 million for equipment. The mill, to be built near the site, would start in 1978 at 3,300 short tons of uranium oxide annually, with plans to double capacity.

Uranium Deal Shapes Market Rally and Venture Plan
The proposed contract would let two companies stage par iene sales with the Government taking 50 percent of net profits. Ranger reserves would yield a $1,210 million gross share to the Government at current prices, while prior export contracts would have provided about half that sum as royalty. Key figures including Mr Connor and Prime Minister Whitlam signed the memorandum with Peko chairman Mr Proud and EZ managing director Mr Mackay. Market reactions pushed Peko to $3.70 in Sydney and EZ higher, with the mining index rising about 2.6 percent. The AFC would handle future uranium exploration and allow existing license holders to continue, with AEC mining Ranger and other deposits at an appropriate time.
