Extract strives to implement best practice standards for a uranium mining company in occupational health and safety, employment equity, conditions of employment, training and development and industrial relations. The Company aims to attract and retain quality staff and be seen as an “employer of choice” in Namibia.
Last year the focus was on building a world class management team, which was achieved through the appointment of Jonathan Leslie as CEO of Extract and Norman Green as CEO of Swakop Uranium. Similarly the focus for 2010/2011 was on resource planning for the DFS.
The first half of the new financial year will focus on ensuring operational readiness for Husab in Namibia by building up the strength of the Swakop Uranium Team. The aim is to attract and retain skilled individuals and to coach and mentor emerging talent, so that the Company can ensure that it has a world class pool of Namibian employees.
As part of this focus, and to ensure industrial action is kept to a minimum during the project development phase, Swakop Uranium, the Metal and Allied Namibian Workers Union (MANWU) and the Construction Industry Federation of Namibia (CIF) signed a Project Labour Agreement (PLA) for the construction and commissioning phase of the Husab Project.
