The Honeymoon Mine is Australia's fourth uranium mine and Australia's second operating in-situ recovery mine and began production in 2011.[2] The uranium deposit belongs to the palaeochannel type. Operations at Honeymoon were suspended in November 2013, following difficulties in reaching production targets, high costs and a falling uranium price. The project was placed in care and maintenance,[3] then sold by JSC Atomenergoprom (a subsidiary of Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation) to Boss Resources and Wattle Mining in September 2015.[4]
