Uranium mining in the Athabasca Basin region in Northern Saskatchewan was developed in the early 1950s. The mines developed during this period were abandoned, leaving deep holes and mining debris exposed. Project CLEANS (Cleanup of Abandoned Northern Sites), led by the Saskatchewan Research Council, is a multi-year project aimed at the cleanup (environmental remediation) of 38 abandoned mine sites in the Athabasca Basin region.
