This Agreement demonstrates the community’s support for Standard Uranium’s projects and in return the Athabasca communities will meaningfully participate and benefit from their projects happening in Nuhenéné. We want to work with partners like Standard Uranium who acknowledge our rights and value our communities,” said Archie Disain, YNLR Board of Director for Black Lake Denesųłiné First Nation.
The Agreement establishes provisions for information-sharing, permitting processes, and environmental protection and monitoring. YNLR will oversee the Agreement’s implementation, and its Community Land Technicians will provide active site monitoring to protect the land and the water of their traditional territory. Through this Agreement, Standard Uranium is confirming its commitment to environmental sustainability, to creating employment and training opportunities in the region, and to contributing towards the socio-economic health of the seven Athabasca communities.

Standard Uranium is a uranium exploration company with a focus on the world-class Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.
Standard Uranium’s Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of 6 mineral claims over 17,309 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.
