Project

The Project involves the following activities:

• Minimal ground clearing for tracks and drilling targets where required;
• Geophysical ground surveying (e.g. horizontal loop electromagnetic (HLEM) surveys to define palaeochannels and airborne radiometric surveys);
• Electromagnetic surveys; and
• Drilling: rotary air blast (RAB), reverse circulation (RC) or diamond drilling (DD) to provide samples for density determination, mineralogical studies and geochemical and disequilibrium analysis.

ECC’s Role

ECC has been engaged by Mr. Innocent Simasiku as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) to facilitate the entire ESIA process. Prior to the start of the proposed projects, an environmental clearance certificate is required in terms of the Environmental Management Act, 7 of 2007 and the associated EIA Regulations. A final decision relating to the above-mentioned application will be made by Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT): Department of Environmental Affairs and Forestry (DEAF).
