Alligator Energy Ltd (ASX: AGE) CEO Greg Hall sits down with Proactive's Tylah Tully to discuss a significant new uranium discovery made in its inaugural drilling program at the Big Lake Uranium Project in South Australia. The drilling intersected substantial anomalous uranium mineralisation within palaeochannel sand units of the Namba Formation. This discovery validates the presence of significant uranium within the Lake Eyre basin sediments above the Cooper Basin, with the potential for In-Situ Recovery (ISR) mining. Four aircore drill holes encountered mineralised palaeochannel sands at depths between 90 and 130 metres, with indicative grades up to 50 times background levels. These initial results are comparable to the economic cut-off grades used at Alligator's Samphire ISR Uranium Project. Further drilling is ongoing with samples to be sent to Adelaide for detailed analysis. The discovery is noteworthy as the first greenfields uranium discovery in South Australia since 2007. Alligator plans to proceed with further exploration and approvals after full data analysis. The company acknowledges the foundational work by previous geologists and expresses appreciation to stakeholders who facilitated access for the drilling program. #ProactiveInvestors #AlligatorEnergy #ASX #UraniumDiscovery, #BigLakeProject, #SouthAustralia, #MiningNews, #UraniumMining, #ISRMining, #NambaFormation, #LakeEyreBasin, #CooperBasin, #AirCoreDrilling, #GreenfieldsDiscovery, #ExplorationUpdate, #Mineralisation, #SamphireProject, #UraniumGrades, #GregHall, #AustralianMining, #ResourceExploration, #EnergySector #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

One of Australia's biggest green energy companies goes bust after being lauded by the PM, the South Australian government proposes a ban on non-Indigenous people accessing Lake Eyre. Plus, the eSafety Commissioner wages war on Elon Musk. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been a year since the Australian government unveiled its AUKUS military pact with the US and the UK that will see it acquire nuclear-powered submarines, forecast to cost up to AU$368 billion. It's a deal that poses serious threat to regional and global health and security, runs counter to our commitment to nuclear non-proliferation and brings us closer to nuclear weapons capability.  The 14th March saw the start of a week of actions against AUKUS all across the continent and the Radioactive Show travelled to Mt. Keira on Wadi Wadi Lands in Wollongong to the meeting of the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance (ANFA) a grassroots alliance that has brought together Aboriginal people and civil society groups concerned about existing or proposed nuclear developments in 'so called' Australia Since 1997.  This was the first East Coast meeting of ANFA and was initiated due to the potential for stationing of nuclear submarines at Port Kembla.Today we hear from Greens Senator David Shoebridge addressing the meeting on some of the serious threats from AUKUS.  Currently the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Legislation Committee is conducting an Inquiry into Australian Naval Nuclear Power Safety Bill 2023 [Provisions] and Australian Naval Nuclear Power Safety (Transitional Provisions) Bill 2023 that will report on April 26.  We also share recordings from the launch of the Peace Walk Against AUKUS that had a send off at the ANFA meeting on Sunday 17 March and set off from Port Kembla on Monday 18 March.  Local elder Uncle Peter Button held a smoking ceremony to begin the walk.  The walk will continue on to arrive in Canberra on 17 April and you can follow along on the social media (Beyond Uranium Canberra or via the website www.beyonduraniumcanberra.net.Finally we'll hear long time anti-nuclear activist and former Radioactive Show presenter Bilbo speaking about the Keepers of Lake Eyre anniversary that will meet up on 26 March to talk about the next steps in the protection of Arabana country and in particular the sacred mound springs.

Recovery in milk production, rising retail sales and rebounding export prices drive optimism in the dairy sector, struggling farmers to benefit from a Federal Government funding boost for rural financial counselling, and flood waters from Queensland start to reach Lake Eyre, which may increase the number of foxes and rabbits.

I catch up with Phil the Marree Publican for a yarn about what's happening in outback SA right now.

Australian honey producers have won what they hope is a final battle in a long-running trans-Tasman war over who can use the word, manuka, milk prices for the next financial year have been confirmed and dairy farmers will be getting paid less for their product and the latest winter outlook shows an 80 per cent chance of below average rainfall over the next three months.

South32 is looking to expand its mine on Groote Eylandt. Floodwaters which started in the NT have reached Lake Eyre.

In this episode the Marree Publican Phil Van Wegen and Andy have a good chat about the year that was in Marree and surrounds. We talk about the Pub and of course outback flights with Arid Air and what two expect up around Marree. We talk Lake Eyre, Cooper Creek, Coongie Lakes and much more. Also info about current flights from Waikerie over the once in a lifetime Murray River flood event. We give an insight into the local Marree community with the local Father Christmas parade and the Darts presentation all happening last night.For more Marree Info: Marree Hotel

That year was 1964 and he took his famous Bluebirds, on land and on water to both South Australia and Western Australia to become the fastest man.He remains the only person to set both world land and water speed records in the same year.Come on and get that bucket list underway!

Conventional layer hen cages will be phased out in Australia by 2036 after an independent review panel released updated poultry standards, Riverland shoppers can again buy any fruit and vegetables at their local retailers and move across fruit fly outbreak and suspension boundaries with fruit and a receipt and a major Australian bank says asset lending in the last financial year was the highest ever and ag machinery led the demand.

Birdsville in the Australian Outback will become a golfing mecca if President of nation's newest 18 hole golf course has her way. Nell Brook has dreamed of having a golf course at Birdsville for 26 years, ever since she moved from South Africa to marry cattleman David Brook and live in the channel country in remote SW Queensland.The dream has come true after decades of planning and community hard work. The Birdsville Dunes Golf Club Club celebrated its first event with 200 golfers playing in the Outback Queensland Masters Golf.Travellers can now add golf to their bucket list of things to do in Birdsville along with crossing the Simpson Desert, visiting Lake Eyre, placing a bet at the Birdsville Races or enjoying camping under the big sky at the Big Red Bash.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inflows from the Diamantina and more expected from the Cooper Creek in coming weeks has delivered a tourism boom for northern South Australia, after years of research, the methane-busting seaweed is now for sale to cattle feedlots in Australia and a fire at a major wool processing plant in China, is not to blame for the big fall in prices at this week's wool sales.

Apologies Folks! Sometimes life just gets in the way and no excuses, thats just what's happened to me. This podcast for some reason missed getting edited in a timely manner and my apologies to you.

Originally aired January 11, 2021After needing a break from her career in film and TV, Sophie took a very fortuitous turn in her life by finding the most random job she could, milking camels. If you didn't realize camels could be milked, neither did I. To make a long story short, Sophie fell in love with camels and never went back to her old career. Her ongoing 5-year passion for camels has taken her to places like The Flinders Ranges, Lake Eyre and The Tirari Desert, Uluru, Michigan USA, Texas, and Rajasthan India. At some point in the pursuit to learn more about these amazing creatures, Sophie got the idea to cross Australia on foot while being accompanied by 5 wild (or “feral”) camels. This would not only entail catching and taming 5 out of upwards of a million wild camels that roam Australia, but also walking thousands of kilometers across the vast and void Australian Outback. Keep in mind, Australia is the geographic size of the US with 1/10th of the population. A wild idea indeed!Today Sophie joins us from just over the halfway point of the journey in the bizarre little town of Coober Pedy. Check out this past Monday's episode for an update to this adventure. www.sophiematterson.comInstagram: @sophiemattersonFacebook Coast-to-Coast-to-camel-trekSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Would you believe that on the banks of Kati Thanda or Lake Eyre, South Australia, lies the world’s second-largest geoglyph? Did you know that from the 1940s until the 1970s cats lived in the Sydney Harbour Bridge. And finally, were you aware that at the end of WWI a French orphan was smuggled to Australia in a sack by Australian troops?

Sally Lucas showcases Amsterdam, and the best ways to see the Colisseum in Rome, and we enjoy an almost full Lake Eyre.

Pinba, otherwise known as 'Logic' was an Aboriginal man from the vicinity of Lake Eyre and Cooper Creek. In the late 19th Century he was arrested for manslaughter and went on to lead perhaps the most daring escape from Yatala Labour Prison in our state's history. We explore his epic story whilst enjoying this week's beer of the episode, which was Southwark Stout.  #AdeLOL #HeapsGoodHistory #AdelaideHistory #AdelaideComedy #AdelaidePodcast #SouthAustralianHistory

Val and Faith kick off a chilly spring morning with their bike moments, including a special one from studio guest Will Hartnett. After skimming through some local news we get down to busines as Will fills us in on his recent-ish bike adventure riding a Surly ECR from Alice Springs to Adelaide. Two weeks in the saddle on sandy tracks and enjoying some spectacular headwinds, Will had to resort to mathematics to keep himself entertained. It was all worth it though with a detour to Lake Eyre leading to possibly the best bike moment of his life.You can check out photos from Will's trip online here.We finish up with some upcoming events including those listed at Bike Fun, Hump Day Pump Day and the Bright 24hr.

In the last podcast we talked about how awesome South Australia is, but we ran out of time just talking about Adelaide and Kangaroo Island. And there's even more to the state than that! Northwest of Adelaide is the Eyre Peninsula, where you can swim with sharks or tuna, visit national parks, ancient caves and the Nullarbor Plain among other adventures. If you're looking for places called Eyre (perhaps you're a Charlotte Brontë fan?) Lake Eyre might be worth a visit. The lake is dry for most of the time but occasionally fills with water, especially after times of heavy rain in the north. The flooding in Queenstown this year and last has meant that the lake has had water in it for the last couple of years, and in 2008 we were lucky enough to see the lake for ourselves. If you don't have pilots as family members you can do a scenic flight from Coober Pedy, William Creek, Marree, Adelaide or even Brisbane, though it's a rather expensive day out. You could also choose a tour by 4x4 that takes you to the edge of the lake to see it from the ground. For more, visit http://indietravelpodcast.com/
