Tenure and Licence Progress at Sandy Ridge Project
- Tellus is progressing tenure and related licence approvals for its Sandy Ridge project
- General Purpose Lease application applied for non-process infrastructure
- Three Miscellaneous Licences applied for over access road and water supply areas
Tellus Holdings Ltd (“Tellus”) is pleased to announce that it is one step closer to securing tenure related licences after applying for a General Purpose Lease and three Miscellaneous Licences for its Sandy Ridge project under the Mining Act (1978).
Tellus has previously applied for Mining Lease M16/540. The new tenements complement existing tenure over the project site and cover the areas required to provide road access to the project site, access to water supply at the neighbouring Carina Mine Pit (closed) and to build non-process infrastructure such as the accommodation village and internal roads.
A General Purpose Lease is a form of exclusive Mining Act tenure granted to construct supporting infrastructure such as accommodation villages, processing plant and roads.
A Miscellaneous Licence is a form of non-exclusive Mining Act tenure granted to construct roads, pipelines, borefields and power lines.
“We are pleased to demonstrate ongoing progress with our mining tenure approvals process. The environmental approvals are also progressing through the Public Environmental Report PER process. We expect to have the Sandy Ridge PER on public exhibition soon,” Tellus’ Managing Director Mr Duncan van der Merwe said.
