Business Wire
Today Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. (LVCA:OTCBB) submitted
an application to the Ministry of Energy and Minerals of Tanzania
license department for a Mining License and Processing License to
commence a medium scale gold mine at the Company’s Kinyambwiga gold
project, Kanunga Village, Tanzania. After officially receiving the
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment certificate of approval
issued from the National Environment Management Council (NEMC) on
the 7th of January 2014 the Company was now able to submit an
application for the Mining License and Processing License.
The application covers the Kunanga site that encompasses 39
Primary Mining Licenses (PMLs) that were amalgamated on the 5th of
July, 2013 into one PML license covering an area of 3.45 square
kilometers in anticipation of making application for the Mining
License. The area also includes two other known gold occurrences at
Kunanga 2 and 3.
The focus for this Mining License will be the Kunanga 1 deposit
which has been traced for 700 metres and has seen extensive
artisanal mining active in the past. Drilling between and below the
artisanal workings has shown continuity of mineralization along
strike and down dip over widths and grades with broad zones of
lower grade material (eg. 1.21 gpt gold across 16 metre widths) and
narrower zones of higher-grade material (eg 12.76 gpt gold across 3
metre widths). Metallurgical testing has demonstrated very good
recoveries (>95%) using simple gravity and leaching techniques.
Details are reported in a NI 43-101 report dated December 17, 2012
available on www.sedar.com.
According to the Tanzania Mining Act of 2010, Section 50(2), the
Mining License shall be granted for a maximum period of 10 years,
and is renewable in accordance with the Mining Act Section 53(2)
for up to 10 years. The holder of a Mining License in accordance
with Section 51 and 52 has exclusive right to carry on mining
operations in the area covered by the License for the minerals
specified in the license.
President David Kalenuik says: “ We are thrilled to be able to
submit our application for a gold mining and processing license to
the Ministry of Energy and Minerals. Upon receipt of it we will
hold all the regulatory approvals needed to commence gold mining
and production at the first of potentially four separate gold
projects in Tanzania. This should allow us to complete the
necessary financing to begin to order and prepare for the mobile
and stationary mining and recovery equipment. We will transition
from a junior exploration Company to gold producing Company, which
will create added value for our shareholders.”
