Nature of Activity: Construction of a temporary water pipeline section from the Rössing pipeline via Farm Weizenberg to the Etango Project site. Location of Activity: The proposed pipeline will follow the route of the existing pipeline from the Rössing pipeline take off near the B2 national road to Farm Weizenberg, which currently supplies some of the farms (Weizenberg, Goanikontes) in the Swakop River with water.

This is a renewal application for the existing ECC for Bannerman's Etango Linear Infrastructure. The ECC will expire on 19 June 2022. Please find attached the Form 1. No changes have been done to the project, as Bannerman has not started to develop the infrastructure for the Etango Mine.
Construction of a water pipeline section from the base pump station near Swakopmund to the C28 T-turn off. The proposed pipeline will follow the existing Lange Heinrich and Swakop Uranium Mine water pipelines from the base pump station near Swakopmund to the C28 T-turn off. Water supply for the Project is assumed to come from NamWater in the form of desalinated water for the processing and domestic requirements. The same pipeline corridor that is used for the Langer Heinrich and Swakop Uranium Mines will be utilised, branching off from the C28 Road to the Etango Project site.

Re: Renewal of Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for the new Nampower Power Line from Obib to Zincum Substation for Rosh Pinah Mine. I refer to the formal renewal application of the ECC that was granted by your office on the 7th May 2014 (Valid for 3 years) The ECC was not renewed as the project was ceased at the time. As Rosh Pinah Mine is in the process to upgrade their operation the project will commence in the next months after the ECC has been obtained. The alignment of the powerline will be from OBIB to ZINCUM substation.
The increase in production will require additional power supply provided by NamPower. NamPower has indicated that the existing 66 kV line would not be able to meet the mine’s power requirements. As all power demands in the area are currently growing, these loads (including to the Sendelingsdrif Mine) would have a negative effect on the security of power supply to RPZC. A New 66 kV line to be constructed from Obib to Zincum substation at Rosh Pinah with the specific purpose of supplying the mine with adequate power.
Dear Madam/Sir this is a renewal application for the existing ECC for Bannerman's Etango Project. The ECC will expire on 10 October 2021. Please find attached the Form 1. No changes have been done to the project, as Bannerman has not started to develop the mine.
LKM proposes to mine the delineated resource area, making use of a small dredge pump vessel with onboard processing facility. Ongoing sampling, resource development, and some detail geophysical survey will cover selected target areas. The same methods were used during the exploration activities over EPL 5965. The Mining Licence application was filed by LKM with MME in October 2019. The techniques required to prospect for and mine diamond resources varies according to the location of the area/operation, i.e. shallow water, mid water or deep-water areas.
