SYDNEY (AFP) — Australia's largest state Monday lifted a ban on uranium mining, paving the way for new projects throughout the vast resource-rich region under its new conservative-led government.

Western Australia state Premier Colin Barnett, who was elected in September, said a de facto ban on mining the nuclear fuel had officially been scrapped.

"It is now open to the mining industry in this state, if they so wish to proceed with plans to develop the uranium industry," he told reporters.
