Uranium One, through its Namibian affiliate company Headspring Investments, has been exploring for uranium in the Omaheke Region. The exploration started in 2011 by doing desk research and ground and water sampling but in 2013 operations were suspended due to a moratorium on uranium exploration.

When the moratorium was lifted, exploration was resumed in 2018 and in 2019 a rich uranium ore body has been found in the Omaheke Region after only 60% of the exploration drilling has been completed. It is estimated that the orebody could deliver 3 000 tons of uranium per year with a Life of Mine of at least 25 years. This means that the total production of uranium in Namibia could increase significantly.

During the exploration drilling phase, about 150 Namibians were provided with jobs. The exploration drilling is all done by contracted Namibian drilling companies. af

URANIUM ONE IS EAGER TO BECOME A FULLY-FLEDGED MEMBERS OF NAMIBIAN SOCIETY AND TO BE A ROLE PLAYER OF NOTE IN THE COUNTRY’S ECONOMY.

It is our firm commitment that the mining operation will not go ahead if any of the data should show that the uranium cannot be extracted safely. af

AS A SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE COMPANY, URANIUM ONE IS COMMITTED TO THE HIGHEST ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS, THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ITS EMPLOYEES, AND LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF THE DIVERSE COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE GLOBE, IN WHICH IT OPERATES.

Since the operations are in the Leonardville area, Omaheke Region, the envisaged extraction of the uranium will be done through In-Situ Recovery (ISR), as open pit and shaft mining are not practical options. Read more about In-Situ Recovery and its benefits.

Recently (October, 2023) the company received its ECC (Environmental Clearance Certificate) to establish an on-site laboratory on the farm Tripoli.

However, all that the company is now pleading for is to be able to conclude the research phase. af
