ASX-listed Bannerman Energy has lodged its Mining Licence (ML) Application for the proposed Etango-8 uranium mine with the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME).
The company now commences the engagement process with the MME for the grant of the ML. This includes submission of the Etango-8 Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), which is on schedule to be completed during the December quarter.
Bannerman already has Environmental Clearance Certificates (ECC) for the Etango Uranium Project and linear infrastructure, which remain current. The ECCs were based on an extensive Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and Environmental and Social Management Plan.
Bannerman CEO, Brandon Munro commented:
“We are pleased to have formally lodged our application with the MME for a Mining Licence at Etango. This is the culmination of extensive technical and economic evaluation of the Etango Project, including more recently on the fast-tracked Etango-8 development route. We can demonstrate a robust development case at Etango, which also delivers extensive social and economic benefits to local communities and the nation of Namibia. We now look forward to the completion of the Etango-8 DFS and working with the MME towards grant of the Etango ML.”
