Aerial Photograph of the El Sherana Mine
Shown is an aerial photograph of the current status of the El Sherana mine. Visible is the camp containing a few derelict buildings. The main open cut is still intact but some areas of the open cut appear to be filled in by natural erosion of the surrounding terrain. Though the area was said to have been ‘rehabilitated’ sometime in the late 80’s or early 90’s the aerial photograph indicates that this was either not done or the work was sub-standard.
The El Sherana west open cut is still visible, but not as well-defined as seen in a photograph taken in 1963 by UUNL. The area is now overgrown with new and abundant vegetation, which I think, might have a fondness for Uranium. It is also likely that the area may have succumbed to subsidence or natural erosion of the benches. There are no records indicating that UUNL filled in the west open cut after the mine was put on care and maintenance in 1964. Photographs taken by BHP in the late 80’s show that the open cut was heavily overgrown with new flora native to the South Alligator River valley region. According to BHP staff (private communication) the open cuts provided many good homes for the abundant native fauna. Crocodiles you ask, most likely, but who knows?
The site of the Uranium Processing plant some 2 kilometres SE of the main camp (not shown in the above aerial photograph) was covered in soil in the late 80’s or early 90’s. The buildings on the site were demolished and the remains buried. This attempt to ‘rehabilitate’ can be seen in aerial photographs but it would appear that even here the mine is fighting back.
Height above sea level for some locations is given in metres.

Country Map Photo
The Northern Territory occupies the central position in the northern section of the Australian continent. Its coastline meets the Timor Sea, Arafura Sea, and the Gulf of Carpentaria to the north. To its west lies Western Australia, while South Australia forms its southern border. Queensland defines its eastern boundary. This diverse geography gives the Northern Territory ever changing landscapes, from tropical coastlines in the north to the arid desert regions in the south. The El Sherana mine is located in the South Alligator River valley region of the Northern Territory. The insert shows the geographical location of the Northern Territory in relation to the rest of the continent.
It is interesting to note that the term “Alligator†in reference to the Alligator Rivers’ Region of the Northern Territory and its three main rivers (East, South, and West Alligator), originated from a mistake made by Lieutenant Phillip Parker King. During his ground-breaking explorations between 1818 and 1822, he encountered numerous crocodiles in the estuaries of these rivers. In his journals, he noted the abundance of these large reptiles and mistook them for alligators, a species not indigenous to Australia. Thus he named the rivers "Alligator Rivers." Despite the scientific inaccuracy, the name stuck and is still used today to describe the region. (Author: silvia)

Diagram of the Main Mine Working
Diagram A shows a longitudinal section of the mine in terms of the relative positions of all the main adits and open cuts. Diagram B shows the relative positions of the open cuts and the underground workings. The extension of the 195 metre level that lies SW of the main open cut is directly beneath the 210 metre level. All structures have been referenced to height above sea level. These diagrams are based on unpublished reports, UUNL maps, private communications and UUNL company note books. (Author: silvia)

El Sherana Uraninite at the Australian Museum
Between 1961 and 1983 the Sydney based ‘Australian Museum’ proudly exhibited a huge specimen of El Sherana Uraninite. At the time it was the largest specimen of Uraninite ever recovered, and weighed approximately 850 kilograms. It measured 48 cm high and 46 cm wide. The specimen was recovered at El Sherana in May 1956. The potential radiation threat from this superbly wonderful and scientifically priceless specimen was thoroughly assessed by Health and Safety experts from the New South Wales Health Department. These experts stated and I quote “after measuring the amount of radiation from this big specimen, to obtain the maximum permissible dosage a member of the public would have to stand on the spot from where the specimen can be viewed for half an hour every day for the rest of his life. Therefore, the amount of radiation received by any member of the public from casual viewing is quite negligible.†– End of quote. As an additional precaution an exhaust fan was installed in the outside wall behind the specimen to remove the small amount of Radon emitted from the outer most surface (ca. 1-2 mm) of the specimen.
Sometime in the early 1980’s The Australian Museum gave the specimen to ANSTO for safe keeping at their Lucas Heights facility. According to ANSTO and its regulatory partner ARPANSA, the current location of the specimen is unknown.
Another similar, but smaller, specimen of Uraninite from El Sherana was displayed in the British Museum in London, but its current whereabouts is also unknown.
El Sherana Uraninite was dated at about 1800 Ma.
Before the El Sherana specimen was recovered, the previous weight record for a single specimen of Uraninite was held by the Shinkolobwe Mine in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Shinkolobwe specimen weighed 750 kilograms. (Original Photo courtesy of R. Chalmers) (Author: silvia)
