Sama Resources Reports on SRG Graphite Receiving Environmental
Conformity Certificate for Lola Graphite Project
MONTREAL, April 02, 2019 -- Sama Resources Inc. (TSXV: SME | OTC.PK: SAMMF) (“SME” or the “Company”) is pleased
to report that SRG Graphite Inc. (“SRG”) has received its Environmental Conformity Certificate from the government of Guinea
for its Lola graphite project. This certificate is the only environmental and social permit required to move forward with the
construction of the project. With this certificate in hand, SRG is now in a position to file for its mining license, another crucial
permit required for construction.
SRG worked with Montreal-based EEM Sustainable Management (“EEM”) and Guinean firms Sylvatrop Consulting, a bio-
diversity expert, and Guinée Environment Services to produce a study which meets Guinea’s standards and the International
Finance Corporation’s (“IFC”) 2012 edition of the Environmental and Social Performance Standards.
SRG is partnering with Giovannetti Consultant (“GC”) to develop its resettlement action plan (“RAP”), which will also follow
IFC’s 2012 edition of the Performance Standards, namely PS5 pertaining to land acquisition and resettlement. While only 150
economic relocations and 6 physical relocations are expected, a well-detailed RAP is required to ensure best practices are
followed. Frederic Giovannetti, founder of GC, brings over 38 years of relevant experience and has recently led the preparation
of the new IFC Resettlement Handbook to be published in 2019.
With the Environmental Conformity Certificate in hand, SRG now has all the required documents to apply for a mining license
from the Ministry of Mines. SRG filed its mining license application on April 1, 2019.
