CANON CITY - The potential for uranium contamination in the Tallahassee area is unclear in the area of Black Range Minerals test drilling sites.

Australia-based Black Range Minerals received permission in June from Fremont County commissioners to resume exploration for uranium on Taylor Ranch properties off County Road 2 northwest of Canon City. The company wants to determine if it would be economically viable to mine the ore.

Black Range previously started exploring for uranium on the ranch in 2007, but stopped after being told it needed a county permit for exploration.
