The Renewal and Transfer of the ECC for the resuming and continued mining operations on Mining Claim No. 68793 north of Omatjete. There has been mining activities on the MC after the ECC was issued in 2015, because they were paused for some years to move material at site. During the pausing/halting of mining on the site, the ECC has since expired in 2018 and Mining Claim in 2020. Therefore, there has not been any work undertaken at the site (MC).
An ECC renewal application is being launched to permit the continuation of operations of the existing and operational Dimension Stone Processing Facility in Karibib, as well as the associated reclamation/ rehabilitation of an existing abandoned borrow pit within the Karibib Townlands. The reclamation and rehabilitation of the abandoned borrow pit shall be implemented using a combination of marble and granite dust/ sludge and natural soils . The current ECC is due to expire on 26 April 2022. An ECC renewal is therefore being launched to enable the current operations to continue.
