Defiance is a small exploration company, primarily looking for gold and base metals. It has a small interest in a Joint Venture at Nowthanna, WA, with Acclaim Uranium NL (the deposit is across both Defiance and Acclaim tenements). Defiance call the project Gabanintha. They appear not to be worried that progress is excruciatingly slow. Due to the recent election of Labour in WA, no new uranium mines are permitted.
