Ms Uanjengua Katjiuanjo (herein referred to as the proponent), is a Namibian citizen with vested interest in mineral exploration and mining development. Ms Katjiuanjo aims at prospecting and eventually developing mining ventures in respect to Dimension Stone, Base and Rare Metals, Industrial Minerals, Precious Metals and Nuclear Fuel. The Exclusive Prospecting License (EPL 8840) is situated approximately 35 km South South-west of the Uis Settlement and extends towards the Dorob National Park within the Tsiseb Communal Conservancy. The area is accessible directly via the C35 road, connecting Henties Bay to Uis Settlement and then by existing conservancy / community game patrol tracks. Other section of the claim will only be accessed by foot to ensure minimum impacts on the receiving environment. Their objective is to undertake exploration activities in order to obtain data on the presence of minerals for further mining development. While the proposed activity may stimulate future economic growth and possible rural development, and employment opportunities, it also present possibility of unprecedented negative environmental impacts. Potential impacts may vary in terms of scale (locality), magnitude and duration e.g. minor negative impacts in the form of dust and noise pollution especially during the handling (loading and off-loading) will be experienced.
