Tarah Hainana (hereinafter referred to as the Proponent) applied to the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) for the exploration rights on Exclusive Prospecting Licence (EPL), i.e., EPL-9488 on the 29th of May 2023. However, the approval of the EPL is subject to an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) as per the status of the EPL application on the Namibia Mines and Energy Cadastre Map Portal https://portals.landfolio.com/namibia/ "pending ECC". The EPL has a potential for base rare metals, dimension stones, industrial minerals, and precious metals. Thus, upon granting the EPL rights by the MME, the Proponent intends to prospect and explore within the boundaries of the EPL. The EPL covers an area of 1,405.8228 hectares (Ha) and is located about 25km southeast of Uis Settlement and within the Tsiseb Conservancy in the Erongo Region as per locality maps shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
