[miningmx.com] — COAL-focused Resource Generation (ResGen) said on Friday it has been granted a water use licence for its proposed Boikarabelo mine.
In addition, a previous appeal over the project’s mining right has been dismissed by the Department of Mineral Resources.
“This [water licence] enables the mine to conduct all activities for stage 1 of planned production and to utilise its borefield,’ read a company statement.
“An agreement.was previously signed with the Lephalale Local Municipality in Limpopo Province, securing the water required for stage 2 of planned production.’
Said Paul Jury, MD of ResGen: “The integrated water use licence is the last piece of the regulatory jigsaw puzzle required for mine construction and commencement of stage 1 production to proceed.
“Along with this major licence, removal of the mining right appeal establishes a clear path to securing funds for project construction.’
