RE: RE: RE: ProactiveSome point form notes...
- the results are getting more and more interesting
- before building a mine, they want social acceptance, including from the First Nation mutashwan? (no idea how to spell it)
- even though uranium is new to Quebec, it's not new to Canada, plenty of factual evidence and information from 60 years of uranium mining in Canada
- they brought an actual uranium rock to show them, telling them at low grade it's harmless
- said that in saskatchewan, where the uranium grades are much much higher, then miners tested have minimal, and quite acceptable and normal level of radioactivity. The surrounding communities, no different then the rest of canada
- there was a public health notice that there is NO risk for the residents, he brought copies for everyone
- explained uses of uranium that we all have, including smoke detectors (did not know that!)
- japan has a water filtration system that uses uranium
- talked about radium dispersion in the atmosphere, no difference before or during mining?
- lots of need for uranium for all the reactors being built
- all mining leaves residual effects, gold and all
- for the region, it's very important that Uranium build a mine, the jobs are revenues, 500 jobs, 15% of the population
- they want to sit with the community and make the decisions
- in 8 years (when the mine is built?), more jobs
- the chief of the first nation is very pro uracan, he was there to support them, francois bellefleure
- in conclusion, there's uranium everywhere on the planet, we can manage all the risks, we want to be a player in the industry, not sit and watch others

They kept talking about 8 years. Guess they have a long term plan in place.
