Danakali Ltd has announced that the Eritrean Ministry of Land, Water & Environment’s Department of Environment (DOE) has confirmed acceptance of the finalised Colluli Social & Environmental Management Plans (SEMPs).
The acceptance follows extensive DOE Impact Review Committee review of the SEMPs in the context of the previously approved Social & Environmental Impact Assessment (SEIA), numerous meetings, and extensive comments provided to and actioned by Colluli Mining Share Co. (CMSC).
The project is fully permitted for execution following the signing of the mining agreement between CMSC and the Eritrean Ministry of Energy and Mines and the subsequent awarding of the requisite mining licences in early 2017. The finalisation and acceptance of the SEMPs represents another strong milestone for CMSC as it prepares for project execution at Colluli.
