re: beverley mine The news story said that Heathgate had applied to the government to expand the operations at Beverley.
No Details were given.
Also Ziggy's report mentions B4M as a one of the likely sources of additional Uranium.

2.1.5 Outlook for Australian suppliers
to increase production
Australia is unable to expand uranium production
in the short term at existing mines as plant capacity
is fully utilised. The new Honeymoon mine is
forecast to add only 400 tonnes U3O8 in 2008
(or 3 per cent of total production).
Australia can expand production over the medium
and long term by increasing output at existing
mines and/or by opening new mines. There are
opportunities at each of the three current mines
to expand production or extend the lives of projects
through further reserve discoveries on mine leases.
For example, the proposed Olympic Dam expansion
(currently subject to a commercial decision by BHP
Billiton and government approvals) will increase
uranium production from 4300 tonnes per year to
15 000 tonnes per year of U3O8 from 2013. In October
2006, the Ranger project life was extended by six
years to 2020. The discovery of an adjacent prospect
(Beverley 4 Mile) could also increase production at
Beverley. Many smaller deposits could be developed
relatively quickly, although development would
require a change in government policy.
