Headspring Investments has received authorisation from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water Resources and Land Reform to drill additional boreholes required for further studies at the deposit, in line with recommendations from the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism and experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

This is an essential step towards conducting the necessary studies and verifying the safety and environmental performance parameters of the planned pilot test. At this stage, work will include collecting samples to assess water quality and determining the characteristics of the aquifers in the area proposed for pilot testing. This phase does not involve the use of reagents.

The Headspring Investments project is firmly grounded in a scientific approach and uses advanced in-situ recovery (ISR) technology, which accounts for more than 60% of global uranium production. According to IAEA assessments, this is one of the most environmentally safe extraction methods.

We emphasise that all stages of the project are carried out under strict regulatory oversight, with transparent engagement with authorities, communities and experts.

Studies conducted by the company during the previous phase enabled an assessment of the deposit’s resource potential and indicated that it may be suitable for development using in-situ recovery.

Once the necessary data have been obtained, the company will submit a revised application for pilot testing to the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism.

In keeping with our commitment to continuous improvement and adherence to best practices, we remain open to dialogue and continue to consult all stakeholders to address any questions concerning the project and its successful future implementation.

“We intend to deliver a project that will serve as a model for combining economic development with environmental protection and social responsibility. The approach adopted for this project is based on scientific research, regulatory oversight and transparent engagement,” said Kirill Egorov-Kirillov, Managing Director of Headspring Investments.
