The applicant wishes to apply and obtain an Environmental clearance, this clearance will allow exploration work on the Exclusive Prospecting License (EPL) No. 9825. The primary interest will be to seek for base, rare, precious metals, industrial minerals, and dimension stone mineral groups within the license area. Under the 2012 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations of the Environmental Management Act (EMA) (Act No. 7 of 2007) the Government has made a list of projects which need an environmental clearance like mining, thermal power plants, infrastructure etc.
The applicant intends to explore the project area through non-invasive and invasive methods to determine if viable mineral deposits exist. It is foreseen that the exploration will include field mapping, surveying, literature review (non-invasive), drilling (invasive), trenching (invasive), Sampling, Analysis, Geological Modelling and Resource Estimation (non-invasive) over a period of an initial period of 3 years. The invasive activities would comprise digging of trenches and drilling of surface boreholes spaced from each other.

The Oranjemund Town Council supplies freshwater to the town and surrounding areas with groundwater abstracted from 10 boreholes and 1 x Felhmann well located on the bank of Orange River. The water is pumped to the treatment plant consisting of central Swartkops reservoir from where is fed by gravitation to the town reservoirs, and further distributed to the town and Namdeb Mining Area 1 Reclamation Plant. The ORTC) was issued with a water abstraction permit by the department of water affairs to abstract a maximum of 22,000 m3/day (Water abstraction permit no:10862).
Oranjemund Town Council has been experiencing difficulties in maintaining their gravel and surfaced road network, primarily due to insufficient funding, which has led to the deterioration of their road infrastructure to a state having potential safety concerns to the road users. Due to a lack of sufficient funding, Oranjemund Town Council approached the Road Fund Administration for funding, which was approved under the MOA Agreement. One of the roads requiring urgent repairs is the road providing access to the Oranjemund Airport, off the MR118 road.
