Community Initiatives

Working with local communities.

Fundamental to U3O8 Corp’s commitment to responsible exploration is working with the communities near the exploration projects to create sustainable and tangible long-term benefits. Not only do we provide employment, together with the community, we identify key areas in which we can work jointly for improvement.

Nutrition

Nutrition

NutritionCentral Vegetable Gardens – to promote healthy diet, self-sufficiency, training on nutritious food selection and preparation and cooking of the produce. Members of the community work in the garden and share in the vegetables produced. After the practical experience of sowing, fertilizing and plant care, applying pest control measures (mainly by bio-control) and crop rotation, individuals move out of the program for others to take part. The community is encouraged to create their own home vegetable gardens and help is provided with setup and maintenance.

Vermiculture Program – organic waste from the gardens and exploration camp is composted by earthworms. The compost is used on the vegetable gardens and excess worms are used to feed fish and chickens.

Aquiculture – production of tilapia from ponds built on private properties provides a sustainable source of quality protein. A serving of tilapia provides about 26g or 52% of the daily value of protein.

Local Employment

Local Employment

Camp housing and workers provided by the local community – The majority of U3O8 Corp’s exploration teams – from geologists, technicians, field staff to administrative and camp support – come from within the country in which the projects are located including nearby communities. In Guyana for example, over 85% of our employees are from Guyana, with >65% from the local Amerindian community. In Argentina, the camp housing, food services and backhoe equipment for exploration are supplied by landowners and farmers. In Colombia, our team is entirely Colombian, supplemented by people from the local communities.
