RE-REGISTRATION OF APPLICATION ON MEFT ONLINE SYSTEM FINAL EIA SUBMISSION: ABOVE GROUND POWERLINE TO THE PROPOSED TUMAS PROJECT IN THE ERONGO REGION OF NAMIBIA RUN submitted an application to the Ministry of Mines and Energy to convert, in part, its Exclusive Prospecting Licences (EPLs) 3496 and 3497 to a Mining Licence (ML). RUN is a wholly owned subsidiary of Reptile Mineral Resources and Exploration (Pty) Ltd (RMR) who manages and conducts the exploration activities on RUN’s tenements. RUN and RMR are both wholly owned subsidiaries of Deep Yellow Ltd. (Deep Yellow), an Australian listed company. The various Project activities and infrastructure proposed for the Tumas Project can broadly be summarised as follows: • Open Pit mining. • Ore transported with haul trucks to the onsite plant for processing. • Mineral and non-mineral waste (i.e. radioactive contaminated) from the mining and processing activities to be disposed of at onsite facilities (Waste Rock Dumps (WRDs) and Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs)). • Use of reagents for processing. • Water supply and storage as well as power supply to the mining and processing activities. • Final product, uranium oxide (U3O8) and by-product, vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) exported for further processing. This Application relates specifically to the: • The construction and operations of the powerline. A 132 kV overhead transmission powerline will be constructed to supply power to the Tumas mining and processing activities. The proposed powerline will be ~44 km long, following a route parallel to an existing 66 kV transmission line to the Langer Heinrich Mine. This line will commence at the Kuiseb substation, which is an existing 220/132 kV NamPower substation, and terminate at a 132/11 kV substation to be constructed at the Tumas Project site.
