Publishers Description: In 1969 the author, as a young lawyer with a major Canadian firm, was sent to Australia on a legal matter. While there, he became fascinated with the Poseidon nickel boom and founded Pancontinental Mining in the Northern Territory on $25,000. Pancontinental made a uranium discovery named Jabiluka and Grey moved to Sydney where he spent 20 years building the mining company. By the mid-seventies Jabiluka was rated the largest deposit of high-grade uranium in the world with an estimated value of $9 million. This story outlines his battle to mine uranium through the Whitlam, Fraser and Hawke years and the people Grey encountered and battles he fought on issues of mining, Aboriginal land rights, nuclear power and the environment.
