The Proponent intends to extract Industrial mineral resources from the 3 mining claims for commercial purposes. The proposed mine will implement an open cast mining method which is one of the common methods used to extract minerals from the earth. The excavators will be used to access to remove the overburden and access the underneath ore bodies. The mined ore in form of aggregate will be will be sorted and loaded onto trucks for delivery as per customer requirements. The main aim of the proposed mining activities is to supply aggregate for housing development and construction activities within the Omusati & Kunene Regions. The proponent has through extensive market research realised that the Omusati & Kunene Region and the surrounding developing towns such as Okahao, Opuwo, Tsandi, Ruacana and Outapi are experiencing shortages of aggregate and other raw construction materials; this has resulted in project delays due to limited supplies of raw construction materials.
