Russian-linked mining company, Headspring Investments has been accused of contravening drilling regulations that required the company to properly seal and grout numerous boreholes it drilled since 2012.
Headspring Investments is a subsidiary of Uranium One which is controlled by Russia’s state-owned nuclear energy conglomerate, Rosatom.
Headspring holds eight Exclusive Prospecting Licences (EPLs) for base, rare metals, and nuclear fuel minerals across the Omaheke and Hardap Regions.
Since it started with its exploration activities in 2012, Headspring has faced criticism for its in-situ leaching method in uranium mining, which involves the dissolution of mineral deposits through boreholes.
