221011000061 - The proposed exploration of base and rare metals, industrial minerals and precious metals on EPL 5680, Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia

MINING AND QUARRYING ACTIVITIES 3.1) The construction of facilities for any process or activities which requires a licence, right or other forms of authorisation, and the renewal of a licence, right or other forms of authorisation, in terms of the Minerals (Prospecting and Mining Act), 1992. (3.2) Other forms of mining or extraction of any natural resources whether regulated by law or not. (3.3) Resource extraction, manipulation, conservation, and related activities The proposed Project has obtained an EPL from MME; now requires environmental clearance from DEA/MEFT to conduct exploration for base, rare and precious metals and industrial minerals. • Exploration activities on EPL 5680 may include geological mapping, geochemical surveys, ground and airborne geophysical surveys, geological sampling, rotary air blast, reverse circulation, and diamond drilling. WASTE MANAGEMENT, TREATMENT, HANDLING AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES 2.1) The construction of facilities for waste sites, treatment of waste and disposal of waste. (2.3) The import, processing, use and recycling, temporary storage, transit or export of waste. Waste generated which will be mainly solid waste and general waste during the exploration phase will be removed by a skip and will be disposed of at the nearest landfill site. • Waste will be recycled, to the extent possible. • A portable toilet, long drop hole for a toilet or chemical toilets will be used during exploration activities by the diamond drill crew. FORESTRY ACTIVITIES 4.) The clearance of forest areas, deforestation, aforestation, timber harvesting or any other related activity that requires authorisation in term of the Forest Act, 2001 (Act No. 12 of 2001) or any other law. Limited vegetation clearing may be required for tracks and survey access creation, and possibly for the set up for survey and drilling teams’ field camps. Clearing of large trees will be avoided. WATER RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTS 8.1) The abstraction of ground or surface water for industrial or commercial purposes. For the drilling of exploration boreholes, ground water may need to be abstracted, or water will be sourced offsite. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE TREATMENT, HANDLING AND STORAGE 9.2) Any process or activity which requires a permit, licence or other form of authorisation, or the modification of or changes to existing facilities for any process or activity which requires an amendment of an existing permit, licence or authorisation or which requires a new permit, licence or authorisation in terms of a law governing the generation or release of emissions, pollution, effluent or waste. Portable toilets, long drop hole for toilet, or chemical toilets will be used during the exploration activities. Yucca Investments Hundred and Thirty CC proposes to explore for base, rare, industrial and precious metals on EPL 5680, Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia Scale and scope of activity: Exploration will take place on EPL 5680 located between Otjiwarongo and Otavi and is accessible via a network of farm tracks leading off the paved road east of the B2Gold Otjikoto Mine in the Grootfontein District, Otjozondjupa Region as seen in Figure 1. The proponent will conduct geological mapping, geochemical surveys, ground and airborne geophysical surveys, geological sampling, percussion drilling, reverse circulation, and diamond drilling.
