"Kayelekera-Response to Misleading NGO Statements"

Paladin Energy...is aware of media reports originating from Malawi implying that the Company’s Kayelekera Minehas begun discharging waste materials from KM into the local river system. These reports are sourced from local non-government organisations (NGOs) and individuals openly hostile to the Company and contain numerous blatant falsehoods and misleading statements, intended to cause alarm and distress in communities living in the vicinity of KM and the local river system…Paladin plans to commence the controlled release of surplus water into the local river system in early 2015 (during the monsoonal wet season) and has modified a section of the treatment plant at KM to allow treatment to meet Malawi and internationally recognised discharge standards, including the World Health Organisation drinking water guideline for uranium content.
