A company says the U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the last legal challenge to its license to mine uranium at an aquifer that supplies drinking water to Navajo communities in northwestern New Mexico.

Supreme Court justices Monday decided not to review a decision that allows Hydro Resources Inc. to leach-mine uranium at the aquifer used by 15,000 Navajos in the Church Rock and Crownpoint areas.

The mining company said it will move forward with the project, but opponents said they'll keep fighting in other venues.
