No. 7258, Near Okahandja in the Otjozondjupa Region Environmental Assessment (EA) For Exclusive Prospecting License (EPL) No. 7258, near Okahandja in the Otjozondjupa Region FINAL REPORT ECC APPLICATION Number: 001573 Author(s): Ms. Althea Brandt & Mr. Silas David Client: Johannes Malume Gariseb Reviewer: Mr. Nerson Tjelos Contact person: Johannes Malume Gariseb Company: Excel Dynamic Solutions (Pty) Ltd Telephone: +264 (0) 61 504 238 Telephone: +264 (0) 61 259 530 Email: [email protected] Fax2email: +264 (0) 886 560 836 Email: [email protected] March 2020 Johannes Malume Gariseb EIA: EPL 7258 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Johannes Malume Gariseb (The Proponent), a holder of an Exclusive Prospecting License (EPL 7258) granted by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), intends to acquire an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) to be able to conduct prospecting and exploration activities on the EPL. The tenure of the licence is from 15 May, 2019 to 14 May, 2022. According to earth data available on the MME mining cadastral portal, the Proponent has been granted the mineral right to explore three commodities, with pending approval of the application for two additional commodity groups. The commodity groups covered by the licence are: - Base and rare metals (granted) - Precious metals (granted) - Dimension stones (granted) - Industrial Minerals (applied for) - Semi-Precious Stones (applied for) The licence is situated near Okahandja in the Otjozondjupa Region (coordinates: -21°50’24’’ S, 16°21’25’’ E), and it covers an area of 19442.7392 ha. Excel Dynamic Solutions (Pty) Ltd (hereinafter referred to as EDS) has been appointed to conduct the Environmental Assessment (EA) required to apply for the ECC, in accordance with the Environmental Management Act (7 of 2007). i Johannes Malume Gariseb EIA: EPL 7258 Project Description The Proponent plans to conduct prospecting and exploration activities to search for and potentially develop an economic mineral deposit. There are no records of any systematic exploration over the EPL. The selection of the potential mineralization model and exact exploration targets will be selected based on the regional and local geology. The scoping process will identify sensitive environmental features that might be affected by the proposed prospecting and exploration activities. The level and magnitude of planned exploration work is not clear at this stage. However, both invasive and non-invasive exploration activities are expected to take place upon issuance of an environmental clearance certificate. Non-invasive activities include geological field mapping, geophysical survey work, airborne and ground based surveys. Invasive activities involve soil and rock sampling, trenching and drilling. The Proponent plans to conduct a staged exploration approach as follows: Prospecting and Exploration (Construction/Initiation Phase) During the phase of prospecting and exploration, reviewing of existing reports and composite stratigraphic, lithological-geochemical maps of the targeted areas to identify prospective lithostratigraphic packages will be vital. Field work (lithological (soil/rock) mapping and sampling) will also be conducted to verify desktop work. Up to this point, no physical disturbance is required. During a more advanced exploration phase the Proponent will assess the license area through detailed geological mapping, geophysical and geochemical surveys, supported where necessary by geophysical surveys, with a view to defining targets for drilling testing. Exploration drilling, Sampling and Analysis (Operational and Maintenance Phase) During this phase, the exploration program will be in operation. Therefore, the target areas within EPL 7258 boundaries, which have been acknowledged during the initial prospecting and exploration phase, will go through exploration drilling. Diamond drilling will be considered to test a number of targets. Larger amount of sample materials may be required for analysis in the advanced stage of exploration activities on the EPL, to perform processing trails. Furthermore, pits may be dug for sampling. Depending on the nature of mineralization observed from drilling, the sample size may be adjusted. No explosives will be used during the exploration phase. Other aspects of the exploration include: ii Johannes Malume Gariseb EIA: EPL 7258 ACCESS The EPL is situated in central Namibia approximately 8 km west of Okahandja Town on the B2 road. Okahandja is connected to the capital city via B1 National road. The tenement can be reached from the B1 National road at Okahandja via a secondary gravel road that leads further westward to the EPL site. Regionally, the paved all weather Trans-Caprivi Highway road links Walvis Bay to the countries of Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe, as well as the Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition, the Trans-Kalahari Highway links Walvis Bay with South Africa’s Gauteng industrial heartland via Botswana. A harbour (Namport) is found in Walvis Bay that gives a platform for samples and mined materials to be offloaded or loaded onto transnational shipping lines. RESOURCES The required input for exploration program in terms of vehicles and equipment include; two SUV (4X4) vehicles, earthmoving equipment, jackhammers; compressor and generator, field storage and rocks analysis equipment (i.e., XRF analyser). SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE Water & Power Supply: Water required for the operation phase will be obtained from nearest boreholes and off-site municipal source and/or from any other approved water sources, through water abstraction permits. The estimated total monthly water consumption is at ±12,800 litres for drinking, sanitation, cooking, dust control, and washing equipment. A diesel power generator will be used for power supply during the exploration phase. Accommodation: Exploration staff will be accommodated in Okahandja. If the accommodation camp is to be set up on a neighboring farm, necessary arrangements will be done with the farm owner. Exploration activities will take place during day time only, and the exploration team will be commuting to the work site from their accommodation place. Timeframe: The planned ground geophysical surveys will be done in stages on different parts of the properties. Geological mapping will be done in two (2) months; and a 9 to 12 months exploration period is predicted Waste Management: Mineral waste and non-mineral waste will occur onsite. Depending on the amount generated, waste will be sorted and collected on a weekly or monthly basis and taken to the nearest landfill site. Ablution facilities will be chemical toilets and/or sealed septic tanks and iii Johannes Malume Gariseb EIA: EPL 7258 the sewerage taken to the nearest storage facility, periodically. The disposal of wastewater as well as all other type of waste will be strictly controlled. Security: Temporary storage areas for machines and other project materials and equipment will be necessary at the camp. Security will be supplied on a 24-hour basis at the storage and/or camp site and exploration camp. A temporary support fence surrounding the storage/camp site will be constructed to ensure people and domestic animals are not put at risk. Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Phase This phase is primarily reinforced through a decommissioning and rehabilitation plan which, among others, consist of safety, health, environmental and contingency aspects. The economic situation or unconvincing exploration results may force the Proponent to eventually cease with the exploration program. Therefore, it is of best practice for the Proponent to ensure that the removal of all platforms constructed; and waste materials generated on site throughout the exploration phase are environmentally disposed of. Necessary landscaping of exploration areas will be undertaken upon completion of each phase of exploration. Project Alternatives The alternatives for consideration of outcomes of the proposed development are summarized below: No-go alternative: The “No-Go” alternative is the option of not proceeding with the activity, which typically implies a continuation of the status quo. Should the proposed works of the prospecting and exploration plan be discontinued, none of the potential impacts (positive and negative) identified would occur. In considering the proposed project, the ‘no-go’ option is not considered the preferred alternative. Prospecting location: The prospecting/exploration location is dependent on the mineralogy and geology of the area. Therefore, finding an alternative location for the planned exploration activities is not possible. The tenement has sufficient surface rights that, should an economic mineral deposit be defined, there is an adequate area for potential storage and processing facilities. iv Johannes Malume Gariseb EIA: EPL 7258 Exploration Methods: Both invasive and non-invasive exploration activities are expected to take place. If an economically viable discovery is made, the project will proceed to mining phase. A separate full environmental assessment will be undertaken for the mining phase. Impact Identification The potential positive and negative impacts that have been identified for the proposed establishment activities are as follows: Positive impacts: Creation of jobs to the locals (primary, secondary and even tertiary employment). Uplift local economic growth. Open up other investment opportunities. Contribution to regional economic development. Negative impacts: Loss of biodiversity Generation of dust Waste generation Water quality is affected Land use conflict arises Visual

  • Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis Ssp
    Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis ssp. angolensis) Appendix 1: Historical and recent geographic range and population of Angolan Giraffe G. c. angolensis Geographic Range ANGOLA Historical range in Angola Giraffe formerly occurred in the mopane and acacia savannas of southern Angola (East 1999). According to Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo (2005), the historic distribution of the species presented a discontinuous range with two, reputedly separated, populations. The western-most population extended from the upper course of the Curoca River through Otchinjau to the banks of the Kunene (synonymous Cunene) River, and through Cuamato and the Mupa area further north (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). The intention of protecting this western population of G. c. angolensis, led to the proclamation of Mupa National Park (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). The eastern population occurred between the Cuito and Cuando Rivers, with larger numbers of records from the southeast corner of the former Mucusso Game Reserve (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). By the late 1990s Giraffe were assumed to be extinct in Angola (East 1999). According to Kuedikuenda and Xavier (2009), a small population of Angolan Giraffe may still occur in Mupa National Park; however, no census data exist to substantiate this claim. As the Park was ravaged by poachers and refugees, it was generally accepted that Giraffe were locally extinct until recent re-introductions into southern Angola from Namibia (Kissama Foundation 2015, East 1999, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). BOTSWANA Current range in Botswana Recent genetic analyses have revealed that the population of Giraffe in the Central Kalahari and Khutse Game Reserves in central Botswana is from the subspecies G.

But He is not coming. So we will wait forever for the liberation of Namibia.” I told him, “For sure, the Lord will come, and Namibia will be free.” -Pastor Zephania Kameeta, 1989 On June 30, 1971, risking persecution and death, the African leaders of the two largest Lutheran churches in Namibia1 issued a scathing “Open Letter” to the Prime Minister of South Africa, condemning both South Africa’s illegal occupation of Namibia and its implementation of a vicious apartheid system. It was the first time a church in Namibia had come out publicly against the South African government, and after the publication of the “Open Letter,” Anglican and Roman Catholic churches in Namibia reacted with solidarity.
