Ambiente

Exploración ambientalmente responsable

U3O8 Corp. está comprometida con la exploración de una manera ambientalmente responsable con prácticas que minimicen nuestra huella e involucren a la comunidad en la administración conjunta del medio ambiente.

Minimizar la huella ambiental durante la exploración

Waste Management Program

Waste-management_program

Waste from our exploration camp and drill sites is appropriately collected, separated, stored and disposed. Organic waste is composted, certain materials and batteries collected for recycling and non-recyclable waste is delivered to the municipality’s prescribed waste facility. Lubricants and additives used in drilling are biodegradable. Drill water is recycled, then filtered to remove possible contaminants before release back into the environment.
Tree nursery

Tree Nursery

An inventory of native plants has been catalogued and these species are being propagated in U3O8 Corp’s tree nursery for replanting in our exploration sites as well as in other areas where reforestation is recommended.

Control of soil erosion with local bamboo

Control of soil erosion with local bamboo

Steep sections of the access paths to the drill sites and drainage channels that control runoff from the paths are lined with bamboo, purchased from local farmers, to minimize soil erosion. This photo shows erosion control in an area affected by a local landslip.
Restoration of exploration areas

Restoration of exploration areas

Trenches in Colombia are hand-dug and refilled as soon as the exploration work has been completed. Trench sites and drill platforms are then replanted with native species typical of the surrounding vegetation. Photo above is a drill pad replanted with pasture grass.
Moving man-portable drill rigs

Moving man-portable drill rigs

We use modular rigs whose components are man-portable, so access to drill sites in Colombia is by path instead of road that minimizes forest clearing and associated erosion risk. The advantage is that we have cleared only 50 cubic metres of wood – significantly less than the 225 cubic metres allowed under the drill permit.
Monitoring water quality

Monitoring water quality

Water quality is monitored throughout drilling with samples taken before the rig arrives on site, others taken during drilling and water quality continues to be monitored after drilling at each site.
Aerial transport system

Aerial transport system

An aerial cable system has been installed in the Berlin Project in Colombia to transport personnel and equipment to reduce the number of paths that need to be made between platforms.

Proyectos Ambientales Comunitarios

Vermiculture project

Vermiculture

A program of composting organic waste using earthworms has been implemented. The compost is used for vegetable gardens and the worms are used to feed fish (tilapia) in ponds.
School environment project

School environment project

Members of the community and school children review environmental initiatives undertaken by U3O8 Corp., such as reforestation and erosion control, as a means of education about environmental care. School children have helped reforest some areas and have planted seeds in the indigenous tree nursery.
Improving potable water quality

Improving potable water quality

In the Berlin Project in Colombia, land has been purchased in the headwaters of the stream that supplies a community’s potable water. Since we purchased that strategic land, the removal of livestock and reforestation with selected native species has led to a marked increase in water quality.
Compost project

Compost

A program of composting organic waste using earthworms has been implemented. The compost is used for vegetable gardens and the worms are used to feed fish (tilapia) in ponds.
