The Stampriet Aquifer Uranium Mining Association (SAUMA) has raised serious concerns about potential violations of Namibian environmental laws in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process conducted for the in-situ leaching mining method proposed by the Russian-backed company Uranium One.
SAUMA alleges that the environmental consultant responsible for compiling the EIA did not adhere to required procedures.
The association discovered that the EIA for in-situ leaching of uranium, specifically for a pilot plant located on farm Tripoli in the Omaheke region, was listed on the Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism’s EIA website without sufficient public awareness.
The public comment window is set to close on January 23, 2024, at 12h00.
