Strateco Resources Inc. announced that Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission hearing will consider Strateco's application for a licence to prepare a site and construct for an underground uranium exploration project. On June 5 and June 7, 2012, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) will hold a one-day public hearing to consider Strateco Resources Inc. (Strateco) application for a licence to prepare site and construct an underground exploration project at the Matoush site, located approximately 260 kilometres north of Chibougamau, Quebec. Strateco has applied to the CNSC for a licence to authorize the excavation of an exploration ramp and construction of surface buildings and facilities to support advanced exploration activities. The proposed activities will allow Strateco to further characterize the uranium mineralization and to determine the feasibility of a future mine and mill, but the current application does not propose uranium mining or milling activities. Should the results of this underground exploration be positive and the CNSC receives an application to build and operate a uranium mine and mill, another environmental assessment and additional licensing hearings would be required. The Commission Tribunal makes decisions on the licensing of nuclear facilities and projects through the public hearing process.
