April 3, 2007 --
Indian and Northern Affairs Canada will conduct a screening commencing on April 3, 2007 of the project:
Ur-Energy Incorporated - Campsite, Nowleye River, Kivalliq, NU.
Ur-Energy Inc proposes to have a temporary 6-tent, 2 hectare campsite. This site was formerly used by Cominco Exploration. The fuel cache will be to the west of the camp, 150 m from the Nowleye River. Greywater will be channelled to a settling sump. Camp sewage will be collected in a pit. All combustible garbage will be incinerated daily. At the end of use, all materials will be removed from the campsite. All sumps will be backfilled and re-contoured to match surrounding land. All scraps will be removed to an approved waste disposal facility.
