Project

The proposed Project is within the exclusive prospecting licenses (EPLs 4013 and 4194), where the resource is located and where a mining license (ML) will be applied for is situated 50km E of Windhoek, Khomas Region. The EPL is bordered by the C23 main road and is 9 km from the Hosea Kutako International Airport

The proposed Jindal Iron Ore Project involves establishing an iron ore mining operation, comprising several open pits to be excavated using conventional blasting and drilling techniques. Ore and waste rock will be excavated and hauled by a fleet of mobile equipment, with waste rock being transported to a waste rock dump site. The extracted ore will undergo crushing and pebble milling at the beneficiation plant, followed by magnetic separation and subsequent reverse flotation and concentrate filtration during the final processing stages. The resulting product, iron ore fines, will then be transported to Walvis Bay for shipment.
