Abstract:

Mr. Sydney H. L. Goagoseb (herein referred to as the proponent), is a Namibia national and who ventures in exploration and mining. Mr. Goagoseb aims at prospecting and eventually developing mining ventures in respect to Industrial Mineral. Hence, Mr. Goagoseb has thus applied to obtain a license for Mining Claims (MCs 73896 - 73899) with a particular focus on a portion of the Base and Rare Metals and Industrial Minerals. To enhance potential impact mitigation, the proponent has only demarcated and marked a section of the Farm into a cumulative mining claims (MCs 73896 - 73899) area of (58.21 Ha) of a section of Farm Stinkbank No. 62. MCs 73896 - 73899 are situated in Western Namibia, about 32 km South-west of Usakos on Farm Stinkbank No. 62. The mining claims are accessible initially via the D1914 road that leaves Usakos into the Southerly direction towards the Namib Naukluft National Park and then branching out onto the D1989. Other section of the mining claims will then only be accessed by existing farm tracks and or by foot to ensure minimum impacts on the receiving environment.
