(ESA) Report for the Proposed Exploration and Mining of Dimension Stone on Mining Claims 71609 – 71617 in the Erongo Region Environmental Scoping Assessment (ESA) Report for the Proposed Exploration and Mining of Dimension Stone on Mining Claims 71609 – 71617 in the Erongo Region MEFT Application No.: 001763 Document Version: Final Proponent: Okonde Mining and Exploration CC Date: 23 November 2020 Environmental Scoping Assessment Report: Exploration and Mining Activities on Mining Claims 71609-71617 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Okonde Mining and Exploration CC (hereinafter referred to as Okonde Mining and Exploration or the Proponent) with the assistance of their technical and financial partner, Best Cheer Investments Namibia (Pty) Ltd intends to undertake exploration and subsequent mining activities on their nine mining claims (MCs) northeast of Arandis Town in the Erongo Region (the project). The mining claims are 71609, 71610, 71611, 71612, 71613, 71614, 71615, 71616 and 71617. Although these MCs are in the same area, they are grouped into two sites (clusters). The two groups that are about 6 km apart comprise of MCs 71609, 71610, 71611, 71612, 71613 & 71614 (southern cluster about 38 km out of Arandis) and then MCs 71615, 71616 & 71617 (northern cluster, 45 km outside Arandis). The total (combined) surface area of the nine mining claims is 140 hectares (ha). The proposed exploration and mining are however among the listed activities in the Environmental Management Act (EMA) No. 7 of 2007 and its 2012 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations that may not be undertaken without getting the environmental clearance certificate (ECC). Consequently, Okonde Mining and Exploration CC appointed OMAVI Geotechnical & Geo-Environmental Consultants CC (hereinafter referred to as OMAVI Consultants) to undertake the required EIA / Environmental Scoping Assessment process and apply for the project ECC. It is for this reason, that this Environmental Scoping Assessment (ESA) Report was compiled. The Report contains all the information that was gathered from the environmental assessment process. The information contained herein include the description of the proposed project activities and alternatives, legal requirements, the pre-project environmental conditions, public consultation means, identified potential impacts, their assessment and provision of the necessary practical measures to manage avoid and or minimize each impact’ significance. Public consultation and Impact (Key issues Raised) First Round of Public Consultation (issues and concerns to the proposed project): Feedback The first round of public consultation took place from the 17th of June to the 25th of July 2020. The main issues (negative impacts) that were raised during the first round of public consultation and as pre-identified by the Consultants are as follows: • Physical disturbance of soils and land surface due to exploration and mining activities. i Environmental Scoping Assessment Report: Exploration and Mining Activities on Mining Claims 71609-71617 • Soil and groundwater pollution from potential project waste. • Impact on air quality (dust generation). • Impacts on general roads/vehicular traffic (linked to the project activities). • Impact on water quantity/aquifers (water demand and availability). • Impacts on biodiversity (fauna and flora) to enable project activities and firewood for exploration camps. • Potential increase in noise level from project activities. • Impact on aesthetics (visual impact). • Impact on archaeological or cultural heritage through uncovering and damaging of archaeological objects or sites from unintentional project activities such as drilling and excavation on selected explored and mined sites of the mining claims. • An issue of site rehabilitation during and or after exploration and mining activities have ceased. Other impacts identified by the OMAVI Consultants based on experience similar projects. • Lack of proper liaison between project Proponent and farmers or occupiers of land. • Impact on farm and surrounding services infrastructure such as roads, water, fences and gates, potential water pipelines damage by heavy trucks. The positive impacts anticipated from the project are as listed below: • Socio-economic development through employment creation and skills transfer • Improved geological understanding of the site, regarding dimension stone (dolerite) • Investment opportunities into the area due to the global sought-after commodity such as the explored and mined dimension stone (dolerite). • Contribution towards national economy through the payment of taxes and royalties to the responsible institutions of the Government of the Republic of Namibia. Second Round of Public Consultation (comments to the Draft ESA Report/Review): Feedback ii Environmental Scoping Assessment Report: Exploration and Mining Activities on Mining Claims 71609-71617 The draft ESA Report with all its appendices was circulated to all registered I&APs for review and comments for a period of eleven (11) days, i.e. from 17 August 2020 to 27 August 2020. The Report circulation to all registered I&APs was done via emails, for those with access to email addresses and a hard copy for those without email access. Feedback on the draft ESA Report review was received from two I&APs. A nine (9) page document containing thirty-five (35) comments (excluding the first two acknowledgment points) received from one I&AP and a letter with comments from the National Heritage Council of Namibia (NHC) – Appendix H. These comments have been recorded as received under Appendix I. The responses to these comments by OMAVI Consultants are also part of the Appendix I. Recommendations and Conclusions The aim of this environmental scoping assessment was to identify the potential impacts associated with the proposed exploration and mining activities on the nine mining claims, assess and recommend practical mitigation measures. The public was consulted as required by the EMA and its 2012 EIA Regulations (Section 21 to 24). The public was informed via the newspapers used for this assessment; site/public notices placed in the project site area, relevant local and regional offices notice boards. A one-on-one interaction (public meeting) was held with the public and a virtual meeting done with the national authorities. The interested and affected parties raised their comments and concerns on the proposed project activities. The concerns and comments received from the public and the local community members formed the basis for this report as well as the Draft EMP. The conclusions reached and recommendations provided are presented below. Recommendations It is therefore recommended that an Environmental Clearance Certificate be issued for the proposed exploration and mining activities on mining claims 71609-71617, subject to the following recommendations: iii Environmental Scoping Assessment Report: Exploration and Mining Activities on Mining Claims 71609-71617 • All required permits, licenses and approvals for the proposed activities should be obtained as required (please refer to the Permitting and Licensing Table in the Environmental Management Plan (Appendix A). These include permits and licenses for borehole drilling on farms, water abstraction & use permits, land/farm access agreements to explore and mine, etc. as well as ensuring compliance with these specific legal requirements. • The Proponent complies with the legal requirements governing this type of project and its associated activities. • All mitigations provided in this ESA Report and the management action plans in the EMP should be implemented and monitoring conducted as recommended. • All the necessary environmental and social (occupational health and safety) precautions provided should be adhered to. • Site areas where exploration and mining activities have ceased should be rehabilitated, as far as practicable, to their original state. • The monitoring of the implementation of mitigation measures should be conducted, applicable impact’s actions taken, reporting done and recorded as recommended in the Draft EMP. Conclusions The potential (positive and negative) impacts stemming from the proposed exploration and mining activities were identified. The two impacts types were described, assessed and mitigation measures where provide (where necessary). As main potential impacts of concern, the negative impacts were carefully described, assessed, and mitigation measures provided thereof to avoid and/or minimize their significance on the environment. These impacts were found to be of medium significance. The effective implementation of the recommended management actions (mitigation measures) will see the significance reduction in impacts (that cannot be avoided) from medium to low rating. Furthermore, to maintain the low rating, monitoring of the potential impacts by the Proponent (an Environmental Control Officer (ECO)) is highly recommended. Monitoring will not only be carried out to maintain the low rating of impacts' significance but to also ensure that all potential impacts identified in this study and other (new potential) impacts that might arise during project implementation are well identified in time, properly addressed and that suitable and adequate mitigation measures are provided and implemented. iv Environmental Scoping Assessment Report: Exploration and Mining Activities on Mining Claims 71609-71617 Apart from the project information provided by the Proponent, the findings of the impact assessment conducted, i.e., concerns and comments received from the public, particularly the affected farm owners and neighboring property/farm owners also

    Environmental Assessment and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for proposed exploration of dimension stone on EPL 5161, Erongo Region, Namibia Date: 04 June 2020 Ecc App No.: APP-001762 Prepared for: Best Cheer Investments Namibia (Pty) Ltd Prepared by: OMAVI Geotechnical & Geo-Environmental Consultants CC (OGGC) Tel.: +264 81 300 3872 or +264 81 478 6303 Email: [email protected] 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Best Cheer Investments Namibia (Pty) Ltd (the client or Best Cheer hereafter) intends to carry out exploration activities to investigate the potential of granites and granitoid bodies on Exclusive Prospecting License (EPL) no. 5161, for use as dimension stones. The EPL is located about 25 km northeast of Arandis and covers an area of about 5059 ha. The area falls under the Karibib Constituency jurisdiction and extends across three (3) commercial farms namely Vergenoeg (no. 92), Valencia (no. 122), Namibplaas (no. 93) and one (1) communal farm Trekkopje (no. 120), however work will focus on Farm Trekkopje, particularly the middle and western parts. In order to undertake these exploration activities, an environmental clearance certificate (ECC) is required in terms of the Environmental management Act (Act No.7 of 2007) and its 2012 EIA regulations. As such, Best Cheer appointed Omavi Geotechnical and Geo-environmental Consultants CC to conduct the necessary assessments including public participation, and prepare this environmental scoping assessment (ESA) report. Best Cheer intends to adopt a systematic prospecting approach starting with desktop study, which will mostly be office based, focusing on historical data, followed by field evaluation and mapping, whereby a qualified geologist will walk the area and map it to produce a geological map with rocks of interest.

    Namibia 2011 Census MIGRATION REPORT Namibia Statistics Agency 2015 January 2015 MISSION STATEMENT “In a coordinated manner produce and disseminate relevant, quality and timely statistics that are fit-for- purpose in accordance with international standards and best practice” VISION STATEMENT “Be a high performance institution in statistics delivery” CORE VALUES Performance Integrity Service focus Transparency Accuracy Partnership Namibia 2011 Census Migration Report Foreword FOREWORD Migration report is one series of reports that were produced by the Namibia Statistics Agency based on data from the 2011 Namibia Population and Housing census. Migration is a powerful driver of population change and can have important consequence of economic, political and social changes. Because of its great impact on societies, migration needs to be adequately measured and understood. Reliable statistical data is the key to the basic understanding of this important demographic phenomenon. Yet in many countries, including Na- mibia, statistics on migration are incomplete, out-of-date or do not exist. Improvement in this area requires knowledge of the principles of collecting, compiling and analysing migration statistics. Migration is one of the three factors that affect population size of a particular geographic area, the other factors are fertility and- mor tality. Analytical reports on the situations of fertility and mortality are presented in separate reports which were released in 2014. The migration report provides information on internal and international migration covering both lifetime and short term migrants based on 2011 census data. Thus, report presents evidences on the migration patterns in Namibia to assist policy makers, planners and researchers in the formulation of national development programmes, as well as monitoring and evaluating implementation of national pro- grams.

    Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia is a service provided by Development Workshop Namibia (DWN), a registered Namibian NGO with a focus on sustainable urban development and poverty reduction. DWN is part of a world-wide network of Development Workshop (DW) organisations with centres in Canada, Angola and France, and offices in Vietnam and Burkino Faso. It was founded in the 1970s by three architect students in the UK and has been funded by non- governmental organisations, private citizens, and national and international development organisations. In Namibia, DWN’s activities focus on urban related research, effective urban planning for the urban poor, solutions to informal settlements, water & sanitation, and projects specifically targeting disadvantaged segments of the urban youth. Through 40 years of engagement on urban issues mainly in Africa and Asia, the DW network of organisations has acquired significant institutional knowledge and capacity and is well integrated in regional and international networks. The Namibian media provide an important source of information on urban development processes in the country, highlighting current events, opportunities and challenges. The media further provide insight into the different views and perceptions of a variety of actors, be it from government, non- government, private sector, and individuals that reside in Namibia’s towns and settlements. It is therefore hoped that DWN’s Media Monitoring service will provide insights into those different views, with potential use for a variety of institutions and decision-makers that work in the urban environment in Namibia. The Media Monitoring service is currently provided on a monthly basis and monitors the following newspapers: The Namibian, Republikein, Namibian Sun, New Era, Windhoek Observer, Confidente, and Informante.

    STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRPERSON OF ERONGO REGIONAL COUNCIL, HONOURABLE JUUSO KAMBUESHE ON THE OCCASION OF THE ORDINARY REGIONAL COUNCIL MEETING HELD AT ERONGO REGIONAL COUNCIL ON 06TH NOVEMBER 2020 Honourable Governor Honourable Councillors Chief Regional Officer Directors Staff Members Present Members of the Community Members of the Media Ladies and Gentlemen 1. It is with great honour and privilege to address this August House and to welcome all Honourable Members and each and everyone present today in this Chamber. 2. You will indeed agree with me that we had quite an intense year. The Namibian nation has gone through unprecedented global crisis due to COVID-19 pandemic, and unfortunately Erongo Region was hardest hit economically, socially and emotionally. Families were discouraged, dishearten and left destitute. As humanly acceptable, 1 we all fear for the unknown, and as the result family bonds were experiencing challenges and this has greatly contributed to the negative impact on the operations on business and family lives. May we stand to honour those who have lost their lives during this pandemic. May we also honour departed colleagues. With God’s wisdom, guidance and protection we stand before His cross to give thanks to Him for granting us opportunity to work with our colleagues and to know them. May their souls Rest in Eternal Peace. Although, we in Erongo Regional Council faced huge challenges both administratively and on developmental agenda, we have lived up to our mandate of creating conducive environment for the Erongo Region inhabitants. I would therefore, congratulate each and everyone in this August House for his/her leadership.

    2011 POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS Erongo Regional Profile Basic Analysis with Highlights March 2014 Foreword Foreword The first Population and Housing Census in an independent Namibia was conducted in 1991. Since then, a Census has been undertaken every ten years, and the 2011 Population and Housing Census marks Namibia’s third census since independence in 1990. The Census is demonstrative of the Namibia Statistics Agency’s (NSA) commitment to providing relevant and quality statistics to support decision making, policy formulation and monitoring of development programmes. This regional profile presents the result of the 2011 Namibia Population and Housing Census for the Erongo Region. The report provides a wide range of indicators on population characteristics, household and housing conditions and households enumerated in the region between 28 August and 15 September 2011. The report further provides detailed information on age and sex composition, marital status, education, literacy, economic activity, orphan-hood, fertility and disability. In addition, household size, housing amenities, ownership and the quality of housing are also presented in this report. All these indicators are provided at regional, urban/rural and constituency level. It should be noted that internal migration was not possible to calculate at constituency level. However it was provided at regional level in the 2011 main census report launched on 27 March 2013, as well as in the Population Atlas released in June 2013. This regional profile is the fourth in a series of reports to be released based on the 2011 census data. The first report - released in April 2012 - disseminated provisional results on the distribution of the population.
