From the publication:
CONCLUSION Experience with Australia's existing uranium mines offers the most reliable guide to the likely economic impact of expanding Australia's uranium industry. This experience indicates that: 1. A very high proportion of the additional income generated by uranium mining flows to the banks and the shareholders who provide funding for this highly capital- intensive industry; this is especially so during the early phase of a new uranium mining project. 2. If generation of employment is a priority, then resources would normally be utilised more productively in other forms of economic activity.
