US EditionNova Scotia Landowners Can Say No to Uranium Exploration on Their Properties: Deputy - Halifax
- Nova Scotia's deputy minister of natural resources stated that private landowners can refuse uranium exploration on their properties, with letters sent to owners in three designated areas as of Tuesday.
- This development follows the provincial government adding uranium to its priority critical minerals list earlier this month and issuing requests for exploration proposals on three private-land sites containing known deposits.
- The three designated areas for exploration include an 80-hectare parcel in Louisville, a 64-hectare tract in East Dalhousie, and a 2,300-hectare property located in Millet Brook, all of which became available for uranium exploration following the removal of a ban in March 2025.
- Deputy Minister Karen Gatien affirmed that landowners have the right to refuse, while Tory Rushton, the Minister of Natural Resources, stressed the importance of initiating discussions between landowners and researchers prior to any government involvement.
- Despite assurances about landowners' rights, some local residents and Indigenous groups express concerns about inadequate consultation and skepticism toward government promises regarding exploration consent.
