Talk:Rössing uranium mine

Name Change
This article requires a name change to Rossing Mine, Rossing Uranium Mine, or similar. Rossing is not a name unique to the mine. Rolinator (talk) 01:55, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. But at the moment, there are no other such subjects on Wikipedia. Ingolfson (talk) 05:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

 * The World In Action synopsis for the documentary "Follow the Yellowcake Road", broadcast on 10 March 1980, clearly states:
 * "WIA investigates the secret contract and operation arranged by British-based Rio Tinto Zinc Corp to import into Britain uranium (yellow cake) from the Rossing mine in Namibia, one of whose major shareholders is the South African government. This contract having received the blessing of the British government is now compromising its position in the U.N negotiations to remove South Africa from Namibia, which it is illegally occupying."
 * In The Ecologist article, Haseldine makes a very credible link between both the illegal occupation and the illegal exploitation of Namibia's natural resources to the targeting of the highest profile victim of the Lockerbie bombing, Bernt Carlsson. Don't you agree?--Ecophriendly (talk) 21:23, 13 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Our personal opinions concerning Haseldine's theory are of no relevance whatsoever. Unless and until it can be demonstrated through significant coverage in credible third-party published reliable sources that his theory has been given serious consideration, it doesn't belong in this article.
