MOD Resources Ltd (ASX: MOD) today provided an update on progress in obtaining a number of environmental approvals in and around its T3 Copper Project in Botswana and an update of the status of the T3 pre-feasibility study (PFS).
T3 forms part of the joint venture (JV) between MOD (70%) and AIM listed Metal Tiger Plc (30%) and includes an extensive licence holding in the central and western parts of the Kalahari Copper Belt. The in-country operating company is Tshukudu Metals Botswana (Pty) Ltd (Tshukudu).
T3 extension
The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) has approved drilling on a farm north of T3, doubling the approved area to approximately 100km2 and opening up additional AEM targets for drilling.
This environmental approval allows MOD to drill two further AEM targets, A15 and A18, immediately.
The DEA approval for T3 extension drilling was straight forward and there was no requirement for an Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
