Outcome & outputs of the project

• Outcome:
• Improved uranium production planning and implementation
in a framework of social acceptance.

• Outputs:
• Uranium production from low-grade uranium ores assessed;
• Uranium extraction from unconventional sources evaluated;
• Linkages between uranium, coal and oil & gas projects strengthened;
• NORM policy and value-addition requirements in mineral industry developed;
• Stakeholder Partnerships and Social Licensing enhanced;
• Project Management Team Operational.
