Re: Geological Research Through Integrated Neoproterozoic Drilling – EMP – APP-00195
Dear Sir,
The Grind Project, Geological Research through Integrated Neoproterozoic Drilling, is an international
research project with the aim of addressing shortcomings in the knowledge and research database of the
Neoproterozoic Era. They wish to achieve this by creating a global core archive for this Era by
conducting core drilling in Namibia, Brazil and south China. This project is an international,
community-wide collaborative effort between several scientists of different nationalities, including Karl
Heinz Hoffmann, a geologist of Namibia.
In Namibia, five locations in southern Namibia were identified for core drilling. These locations were
all assessed and an Environmental Management Plan prepared which is hereby submitted for approval.
This far consent was provided for Drilling to continue on the locations known as Pokkenbank, Tierkloof,
Swartpunt and Orange River (see attached) Application for consent to drill on Witputs Noord is ongoing
and will only proceed if consent is obtained.
Due to time constraints we hereby submit the EMP for approval on condition that all drilling will proceed
only where consent is obtained. This will allow the project, which is of international scientific
significance, to go ahead on the areas where consent was obtained.
We trust that the above will meet the DEA’s approval. Please do not hesitate to contact our offices
should you require any additional information of clarifications.
Sincerely,
André Faul
