Giyani Granted Approval To Implement Environmental Management Plan
Giyani Granted Approval To Implement Environmental Management Plan
OAKVILLE, ONTARIO – November 1, 2018 – Giyani Metals Corporation (TSXV:WDG, GR:
A2DUU8) (“Giyani” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Department of
Environmental Affairs (DEA) in Botswana has approved the Company’s proposal to clean up the
old mine tailings at its three prospects K.Hill, Otse, and Lobatse, within the framework defined by
an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) that was submitted by Giyani to the DEA in Botswana
in September of this year. The Company believes its clean up proposal is both advantageous for
the local communities and a viable route for early economic return for the Company.
Robin Birchall, CEO of Giyani Metals Corp. commented:
“We are very pleased with this decision by the DEA in Botswana. This will enable Giyani to
implement a cost effective and reasonably quick EMP to rehabilitate the three sites and make them
much safer than they are today. By doing so, the Company believes it will be able to collect the
manganese bearing stockpile material from all three sites and process it into a valuable product
that could generate cashflow for further project development.”
Environmental Management Plan
Working closely with the DEA in Botswa na, the Giyani team , in partnership with a local
environmental consulting firm, inspected the three sites K.Hill, Otse, and Lobatse where previous
manganese mining operations existed several years ago . The sites were left unrehabilitated and
currently constitute various degrees of physical risks and negative impact on the local environment.
The Giyani proposal included three EMPs uniquely designed for each site to address specific issues.
Giyani has also been working very closely with the local communities recently to take their input
into the process and ensure the EMPs are designed to produce a satisfactory outcome that will
enhance conditions in the area.
Giyani has started the EMP work on the ground, including continuous consultations with the local
communities and archaeological studies as agreed with the DEA. The Company will provide
updates on the progress of the EMPs as milestones are achieved.
