Environmental Compliance Consultancy (ECC) has been contracted by Osino Gold Exploration and Mining (Pty) Ltd. (OGEM), a Namibian company and subsidiary of Osino Resources Corp., to undertake an environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA). OGEM manages operations in Namibia as a wholly owned subsidiary of Osino Namibia Holdings (Pty) Ltd. which is in turn a subsidiary of Osino Resources Corp. ECC is conducting an ESIA for the proposed mining of precious metals on Mining Licence 238 (ML 238), located near the town of Karibib, Erongo Region, Namibia.
The Proponent has focused on the acquisition and development of potential gold projects in Namibia through extensive exploration programmes. The advanced and successful exploration programme near Karibib has resulted in the development of the Twin Hills Gold Project, or Project. The proposed Project will be a conventional open pit mine with a gold extraction process similar to existing gold mines in Namibia, for example the Otjikoto and Navachab mines.
