HEADSPRING INVESTMENTS IS EAGER TO BECOME A FULLY-FLEDGED MEMBER OF NAMIBIAN SOCIETY AND TO BE A ROLE PLAYER OF NOTE IN THE COUNTRY’S ECONOMY
Uranium One Group, through its Namibian affiliate company Headspring Investments, has been exploring uranium in the Omaheke region. The exploration started in 2011, beginning with desk research. In 2012, exploration drilling commenced, but in 2013, operations were suspended due to a moratorium on uranium exploration.
After the moratorium was lifted, exploration resumed with geophysical and geochemical surveys conducted in 2016-2017. In 2018, additional exploration drilling and metallurgical test studies of core with uranium mineralization were performed.
From 2019-2021, exploration drilling continued, leading to the discovery of a rich uranium ore body in the Omaheke region, with about 150 Namibians provided with jobs during this phase. It is estimated that the discovered sandstone-type uranium deposit, which is considered suitable for In-Situ Recovery (ISR), could yield 3,000 tons of uranium per year with a life of mine of at least 25 years.
Further water sampling was carried out from 2020-2021. However, in 2021, drilling permits were revoked, leading to the shutdown of operations when less than 60% of the planned exploration drilling had been completed.
Currently, the project is in the pre-feasibility study stage (exploration) and preparations for a pilot test are underway. The pilot site is technically ready for testing, with wells drilled and equipment installed. The start of the pilot test is subject to approval by Namibian regulators.
