The Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) is required for ongoing and proposed exploration / prospecting activities in the Exclusive Prospecting License (EPL) No. 6167 situated in the Karibib District in the Erongo Region covering the following phases: (i) Initial desktop exploration activities (no field-work undertaken). (ii) Regional reconnaissance field-based mapping and sampling activities (Subject to the positive results of (i). (iii) Initial local field-based mapping and sampling activities (Subject to the positive results of (ii) above). (iv) Detailed local field-based activities such as local geological mapping, geochemical mapping, and sampling, trenching, and drilling of closely spaced boreholes and bulk sampling (Subject to the positive results of (iii) above), and. (v) Prefeasibility and feasibility studies (Subject to the positive results of (iv) above. The scope of the field-based support and logistical activities will be dependent on the scale of proposed exploration activities to be undertaken at any given phase / stage. The proposed / ongoing exploration activities will be supported by existing tracks and campsites / farmstead as well as existing accommodation in the local area as may be applicable. In the absences of existing tracks and depending on the scale of exploration activities being undertaken, the field team will create such new tracks with the permission of the land owner/s and in compliance with the provisions of the EMP and all applicable regulations and standards. In the absences of existing suitable campsite / farmstead, a temporary camp site will be setup at suitable location with the permission of the landowner and in line with the provisions of the EMP. The size of the exploration camp will be of very limited footprint during the initial and detailed field-based exploration phases. In an event of a discovery of economic minerals resources, the exploration campsite may be expanded for the subsequent exploration phases such as prefeasibility and feasibility studies.
