Environmental contract signed for Namibian project
[Forsys, 20 September] Canadian-based Forsys Metals has signed an agreement with Digby Wells & Associates of South Africa to conduct the remainder of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and to prepare an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for its Valencia uranium deposit in Namibia. Detailed studies are being carried out in order to identify and evaluate possible impacts associated with the construction and operational phases of Valencia, and to guide the planning and implementation of environmental mitigation and rehabilitation after mine closure. Forsys expects the EIA to be completed by November 2007, and the EMP in the first quarter of 2008. Valencia has measured and indicated resources of 16,000 tU. Forsys describes the deposit as a geological model similar to Rio Tinto's Rossing mine.
