251021006562 - Application for Environmental Clearance Certificate for the Otjikoto Gold Mine ML169, B2Gold Namibia - Antelope Underground Project , Otjozondjupa Region

The purpose of the amendment is to obtain an amended ECC with updated conditions for B2Gold (Pty) Ltd’s Otjikoto Gold Mine. Since the granting of the ECC for the Otjikoto Gold Mine, exploration has been undertaken on the existing mining licence, resulting in the discovery of a potential viable resource, the Antelope deposit, at an alternate location within the Mining Licence Boundary (ML169). As such, B2Gold intends to develop additional infrastructure to mine the newly discovered resource using underground mining methods to extract ore at depth. This includes the extension of the Tailings Storage Facility. The proposed Project will result in additional positive and negative impacts to be assessed.

Commenting of the public on this project will expire at 12h00 on the 2025-11-17
