Lotus to be issued ESIA certificate for Kayelekera
ASX-listed Lotus Resources has reported that the Malawi Environment Protection Authority (Mepa) will issue the environmental- and social-impact assessment (ESIA) certificate for the Kayelekera uranium mine following approval of the ESIA report.
The company explains that the Mepa approved the ESIA in May, noting that the company has since engaged with the Mepa to finalise the ESIA certificate.
Lotus notes that correspondence from the Mepa dated July 14 confirmed the ESIA certificate would be ready for collection within seven days.
The Kayelekera uranium mine is owned by the company’s 85%-owned subsidiary Lotus (Africa).
Lotus MD Greg Bittar says that, with Kayelekera uranium production beginning this quarter, the company is pleased to have confirmation that the ESIA certificate is to be issued.
“We thank the Mepa and, more broadly the government of Malawi, for the collaborative approach and strong ongoing support for the restart of the Kayelekera uranium mine.
“We will continue to work closely with the Mepa and all stakeholders as Kayelekera uranium production ramps up over the following months. Our top priority remains to provide an ongoing safe and secure operation for our onsite team, the local communities and the environment,” he says.
