Australia-based miner Sundance Resources, which is developing the Mbalam project in
Cameroon, has announced that it has received environmental approval from the government of
Cameroon for the project.
The
Cameroon Ministry of Environment and Natural Protection has issued an environmental compliance certificate for the project after evaluation of the Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA) Report submitted by Sundance in March 2010. The authority requested several additional and readily achievable studies be completed to update the company's ESA.
Sundance's acting chief executive officer Peter Canterbury said, "The green light from the environmental regulator is a key milestone for the Mbalam project."
