KINTYRE
Building community support is a priority at all Cameco operations. At Kintyre, we are working to ensure that local people benefit from development, including the Martu who are the native title holders of the land.
Negotiations have continued through the exploration phase of the Kintyre project with the Western Desert Lands Aboriginal Corporation which represents the interest of the Martu, who are the traditional owners of Kintyre.
Even prior to reaching final agreement, Cameco has made a priority of hiring and training local Martu people from nearby communities to work at the exploration camp. This resulted in close to 20 new jobs for Martu people during the drilling program.

Cameco releases Environmental Scoping Document
Cameco Australia and Mitsubishi Corporation are seeking public comment on the environmental review proposed for the Kintyre uranium project. The companies' Environmental Scoping Document (ESD) identifies key environmental aspects of the project and sets out the new studies needed to confirm that the project is safe for people and the environment.
Once the scope of the environmental review is defined, the studies will be completed. Results will be presented in an Environmental Review Management Plan (ERMP) in 2012. The public will also be invited to comment on the ERMP.
