(Courtesy of Tim Peterson | LightHawk) Red Canyon, west of Cedar Mesa in southern Utah, was once a busy uranium mining district. The Bureau of Land Management is now considering an expansion for the idled Daneros Mine, located in Bullseye Canyon, pictured in the middle distance of this aerial photograph. Colorado-based Energy Fuels Resources wants to extract 500,000 tons of uranium ore over 20 years from the mine, located on the edge of the former Bears Ears National Monument. The company asked the Trump administration to scale back the monument, claiming it jeopardized its operations.
