Metal Tiger clinches Environmental Affairs approval for drilling extension at T3 deposit

Environmental Approval was also received for the accommodation camp outside Ghanzi, the company added, alongside the start of the environmental impact assessment for the planned mine at T3.

The company also announced that the prefeasibility study was now targeted for completion in January 2018.

Michael McNeilly chief executive officer of Metal Tiger commented: "We are delighted to report a number of important approvals which will allow the scope of the T3 Project to broaden significantly. We are particularly pleased that the T3 extension drilling application has been approved, allowing the JV to test the geophysics targets to the north of the T3 Deposit and effectively doubling the area of ground we are permitted to diamond drill.

"The additional airborne geophysics will allow the team to focus in on the strong soil anomalies along strike to the east of T3. Whilst the approval for the T3 Exploration camp will help with logistics as the onsite team builds and the number of contractors and consultants increases with T3’s progression towards a mine."
