Title:

APP-002916: Minerals exploration on Exclusive Prospecting License (EPL) No. 6134, ||Kharas Region

Publication Year:
2022
Abstract:

The ECC will be required for the mineral exploration at EPL 6134. The commodities for the EPL are base and rare metals, industrial minerals. The following activities carried out: - Exploration drilling at various locations in each target area to be carried out as soon as the Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) has been granted. This will help establish the thickness and depth consistency of the limestone deposits, as well as to identify structures (e.g. faults) which may be water bearing. - Test quarrying and bulk sampling by means of blasting and bulk sampling in select areas to be carried out. Bulk limestone samples from different areas to be subjected for further geochemical testing and calcination. Calcinated lime to be subjected for further quality control tests to better quantify the quality of the resultant lime. - Ground electromagnetic and resistivity survey to help delineate open geological structures (e.g. faults, major bedding planes, dykes, etc) which may bare groundwater. This data will be used to generate target sites for groundwater exploration drilling.
