Jan 29 (Reuters) - Miner Energy Fuels said on

Wednesday it has signed an agreement for uranium ore transport

and abandoned mine cleanup with Navajo Nation.

The agreement resolves the five-year-long debate in

southeast Utah over a pile of radioactive material parked in

Estonia, allowing it to be processed at a mill located near a

Native American reservation.

The deal with the indigenous tribe will govern the transport

of uranium ore along federal and state highways crossing the

Navajo Nation.

The uranium miner also said that ore transport from its

Pinyon Plain Mine in northern Arizona to the company's White

Mesa Mill in southern Utah is now expected to resume in

February.

Energy Fuels ( UUUU ) has committed to accepting and transporting up

to 10,000 tons of uranium-bearing cleanup materials from

abandoned uranium mines within the Navajo Nation.
