South Africa's Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) has granted Whale Head Minerals (WHM), a subsidiary of Aim-listed investment company Kazera Global, an environmental authorisation for the Perdevlei (2a) concession in the Northern Cape.

The authorisation was granted well ahead of the anticipated date of January 2025 and brings WHM closer to securing a mining right for the 3 095 ha Perdevlei concession, which contains about 170 ha of high-grade heavy mineral sands (HMS) deposits that are believed to be suitable for immediate mining.

“I am delighted we have received the environmental authorisation for the Perdevlei concession so quickly and months ahead of expectations. Full credit is due to the DMRE for their professionalism and efficiency in dealing with this matter.

“This swift approval marks a significant step forward for the company as we progress towards obtaining a mining right for Perdevlei. Obtaining the environmental approval over two months earlier than expected has considerably advanced our timetable. While there is always the potential for delays, receiving environmental authorisation early puts us in an even stronger position to secure the mining right early in the first quarter of 2025," says Kazera CEO Dennis Edmonds.
