PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Junior Theta Gold mines has received two environmental licences for its TGME underground project, in South Africa.

The company has received the Atmospheric Emissions Licence from the South African Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), and a State Forest Licence, allowing for the operation of the gold processing plant and of the Frankfort mine.

“The Atmospheric Emissions Licence from the DFFE is great progress,” said Theta Gold chairperson Bill Guy.

“We thank the DFFE for their support and for delivering the licence early, which was initially expected in the first quarter of 2023. The company now keenly awaits the DFFE Minister’s decision on the continuation of mining within the Forestry Reserve.

“The company also thanks the landowner (Forestry Company) for their support, in connection with the approval of a State Forest Licence for the Frankfort mine. Frankfort mine, which sits outside the Forestry Reserve, now only requires a Water Use Licence (WUL) to be fully permitted for mining,” he added.

A final WUL decision is expected in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Frankfort mine is already predeveloped with good access to gold ore, and the company will examine options for Frankfort mine once all the permits are in place, said Guy.
