The Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs and a lawyer from Sipekne’katik First Nation say they will continue to oppose uranium exploration and hydraulic fracturing.

The provincial government added uranium to its list of priority critical minerals May 14 , and it issued a request for exploration proposals for three sites with known deposits of the heavy metal.
