Kurupung Uranium Drilling Faces Resistance | Guyana News
Description
U92 Energy is poised to begin uranium drilling in Guyana’s Region Seven at the Kurupung Project, with EPA approval pending — but fierce local opposition is mounting. Alden Marslowe, Vice-Chair of Region Seven, demands a halt, warning that uranium mining poses unprecedented environmental and social risks to Indigenous communities and vital river systems. He accuses authorities of ignoring meaningful consultation and questions Guyana’s capacity to safely manage radioactive waste, urging a pause until impacts are thoroughly reviewed — or risk sacrificing the region’s future for short-term profit.
