Union files complaint against Orla Mining, alleging violation of worker rights in Mexico
The complaint is only the second of its kind made from Canada using CUSMA’s RRM process since the trade deal came into force in 2020.
The partners in the Hook Lake uranium joint venture have approved a 2019 exploration budget of $3 million. Situated within the Patterson Uranium District, Hook Lake is owned jointly by Cameco Corp. (39.5%), Orano Canada (39.5%) and Purepoint Uranium Group (operator and holder of a 21% interest).
This year’s program includes 6,600 metres of diamond drilling by two rigs. Seven holes will test targets along the Patterson Corridor and 10 holes will test the Derkson Corridor, where drilling in 1978 revealed uranium mineralization. A ground geophysical survey and a transient electromagnetic survey are planned.
The Hook Lake property is on trend with recent high grade uranium discoveries including Fission Uranium‘s Triple R deposit and NexGen‘s Arrow deposit.
