("BMR" or the "Company")
Zambian Environmental Management Agency ("ZEMA") Update
BMR Mining PLC is pleased to announce that the Zambia
Environmental Management Agency ("ZEMA") has approved the recently
submitted Terms of Reference and Scoping Study proposed for the
Company's full Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA"). This
approval is a necessary prelude before the Company's submission of
the EIA study.
Prior to the submission of the Terms of Reference and Scoping
Study, public consultations were held in Kabwe with interested and
affected parties and other stakeholders.
The EIA involves in-depth technical field studies by competent
experts in a variety of different disciplines. The bulk of the
technical data collection has already been completed and will
include the design of the pilot and main production plants.
BMR's consultants expect to submit the draft EIA study to ZEMA
in September, following which the Company hopes to gain formal
approval from ZEMA by the end of the year. Regular meetings have
been, and will continue to be, held with ZEMA to progress approval
of the EIA study once it is submitted
In the meantime, the peer review for the proposed Kabwe Pilot
Plant designed to treat the WPT tailings, along with the planned
feed rate, zinc cathode and lead sponge production, will start next
week and is expected to be completed by the end of September.
Alex Borrelli, CEO and Chairman, commented:
"We have been working closely with ZEMA, through our
consultants, as we progress towards the submission of our full EIA
study.
"This initial approval is a further step towards the acceptance
of our formal plans for the processing of tailings in our pilot
plant."
