Reptile Uranium Namibia (Pty) Ltd intends to submit an application for a mining licence on EPL 3496 in the Namib-Naukluft Park to the competent Namibian authorities for the extraction of iron and associated minerals from its Shiyela Iron project. However, before any mining licence can be granted, an environmental impact assessment (EIA) process must be undertaken by the relevant applicant and authorised by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.
