(Kaieteur News) – As concerns mount over the proposed Kurupung uranium project in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), the Amerindian People’s Association (APA) has called for the project to be halted, citing the absence of public and community-level consultations and a lack of information about the project.
The project which carries a historical resource estimate of 20.6 million pounds of uranium is being developed by Canada-based U92 Energy Corp. The company acquired the project which spans across 92.2 square kilometres of mining lands, earlier this year following its acquisition of a Singaporean firm LIA Industries Pte. Ltd.
Since acquiring the project, U92 has already finalised a commercial agreement for a Phase One 5,000-metre diamond drilling programme and submitted the required environmental application for drill pad preparation.
