Radioactivity in mining is commonly associated with uranium but there are numerous other sources of it that can be found in the mining industry. While radioactivity is a natural phenomenon that needs to be managed, there are also cases where it can be used as a tool in driving exploration forward. It’s important then to understand what radioactivity is, how it’s encountered and the risks and benefits associated with it.
