Headspring Investments Champions Sustainable Nuclear Energy at Namibia’s Nuclear Conference

At Headspring Investments, sustainability and innovation are at the core of everything we do. Recently, we had the privilege of hosting a group of MBA students from the University of Namibia at our Leonardville project site in the Omaheke Region. This visit was designed to showcase not only the operational aspects of modern mining but also to immerse future leaders in the complex relationship between economic growth and environmental stewardship.

At Headspring Investments, we believe that sustainable community development begins with education and opportunity. Our latest initiative, in partnership with the Namibia Institute for Mining Technology (NIMT), aims to equip 20 young people from Leonardville with the skills and experience necessary to build promising careers in the mining and related industries.

Uranium One Group has taken note of SAUMA’s open letter which was published in the media recently. Rosatom, the mother company of Uranium One Group, has a proven track record of over 50 years in In-Situ Leaching or In-Situ Recovery (ISR) mining. Because Rosatom insists on the highest ecological standards, there has been no incident of contamination in any of our ISR mines, ever.

Has Uranium One considered the pollution risk of the exploration and mining in the Leonardville area and if so, what mitigating actions have been established and how effective these proven to be during the current exploration process?

As we have heard, Uranium One has recently opened an office in Leonardville. What does it mean for the company, its activities and the local community?

The 11th Mining Expo and Conference, held in Windhoek, Namibia, from August 7-8, 2024, marked a significant milestone for the country’s mining sector. The event, themed “Green Shoots for Namibia’s Mining Industry: A Season of Opportunity and Growth to Drive Economic Expansion,” broke participation records with 199 exhibitors occupying 317 booths. This surge in participation underscores the growing confidence in Namibia’s mineral potential, reflected by over 1,000 new exploration license applications submitted in 2024.

The Namibia Institute for Mining Technology (NIMT) and Headspring Investments (HIS) have entered into an agreement whereby 20 young people from Leonardville will be afforded an opportunity to study full time at NIMT, whereafter they will be placed in jobs where they can gain valuable practical experience.

At Headspring Investments, we are dedicated to fostering sustainable development and community empowerment. Our collaboration with O-Space, an innovative hub in the Omaheke Region, reflects our commitment to creating a lasting impact. Together, we work to unlock the potential of local communities through innovative projects, skills training, and strategic partnerships.
