Baobab clears final approval hurdle
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed junior Minemakers has received the final government approval for its Baobab phosphate project, in the Republic of Senegal.
The company reported on Tuesday that a final approval of its environmental-impact study and community support and relocation plan had been granted, allowing Minemakers to make a final investment decision on the mine.
Minemakers was hoping to start bulk sampling activities at the Baobab project before the end of the year.
In May, Minemakers announced a maiden inferred mineral resource of 68-million tonnes, grading 22% phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) at the Gadde Bissik prospect, which forms part of the greater Baobab project.
Some 25-million tonnes of inferred resource, grading 23% P2O5, was reported within the small mine permit application area of Gadde Bassik East.
The Senegalese government granted Minemakers a small mine permit over the Gadde Bassik East project in May, allowing for unlimited mining and processing within the 5 km2 area.
