Fostering a love of trees

Deep Yellow Limited and its subsidiary, Reptile Mineral Resources and Exploration (Pty) Ltd (RMR), recently made a meaningful contribution to local education and environmental consciousness by donating 55 fruit and shade trees to the tune of N$31 359 to five schools in Swakopmund as part of the sustainable environmental education programme (SEEP).SEEP is a global initiative pioneered by Let&#039;s Do It World (LDIW) and locally managed by Tanswell Rooinasie from Let&#039;s Do It Namibia (LDIN). Under the aegis of the education, arts and culture ministry, SEEP empowers students with knowledge of sustainable living practices, inspiring them to integrate these principles into their daily routines.RMR, a dedicated advocate for environmental awareness, saw the planting of fruit and shade trees in Swakopmund schools, namely Namib High, West Side, Namib Primary, Pro-Ed and Private School Swakopmund, as a fitting contribution.Inspire woodlands RMR&#039;s safety, health and environmental and field support officer, John Kandjungu, emphasised the significance of their support in fostering sustainable gardening practices and knowledge application."The Tree Plant Project&#039;s primary objective is to inspire schools to establish diverse tree woodlots, enhance nutrition and facilitate knowledge-sharing among students. Environmental clubs within these schools will assume the responsibility of nurturing and cultivating these trees. The carefully chosen tree species include wild peach, water berry, olive, fig, granadilla, pomegranate, and kei apples, all of which will soon thrive on the school premises, delivering long-term value to the communities involved," Kandjungu said.Opportunities Deep Yellow is progressing its development through a combination of advancing its existing assets and expanding its opportunities for diversified growth through sector consolidation. The company’s two advanced uranium projects, Tumas, the flagship project (Namibia), and Mulga Rock (Western Australia), have a potential production capacity of more than 7Mlb starting from the mid-2020s. In addition, with its expanded exploration portfolio, the opportunity also exists for a substantial increase in its uranium resource base, aimed at building a significant global, geographically diversified project pipeline.
