Abstract:

Ruungandu Mining cc seeks to operate their business activities within their proposed Exclusive Prospecting License (EPL 8587) in the Erongo Region, in respect to Dimension Stone (Marble exploration). Principally, Ruungandu Mining proposes to explore (desktop geological study, collection of bulk and or geological samples and identification of previous activity in the area where similar mineral mining were conducted) and to obtain bulk-samples for further laboratory analysis by use of hand-held equipment and to small degree drilling. The EPL 8587 are situated in North-Central Namibia, about 56 km southwest of the Usakos Town in the Erongo Region. The EPL is accessible directly via the B2 (Trans-Kalahari) connecting the Usakos to Arandis and Swakopmund and then branching onto the D1918 gravel roads heading into the North-western direction. Other section of the EPL will only be accessed by foot to ensure minimum impacts on the receiving environment.
