Giyani Metals Corp. (TSXV:EMM, GR:A2DUU8)
("
Giyani" or the "
Company") is
pleased to announce that it has received approval from the Botswana
Department of Environmental Affairs (“
DEA”) for
its submitted Scoping and Terms of Reference
(“
SToR”)
subsequent to the announcements previously made on August 26, 2020
and October 28, 2020.
Approval of an Environmental and Social Impact
Assessment (“ESIA”) by the DEA is a 2-stage
process, with the approval of the SToR marking the completion of
the first stage. The SToR contains a series of preliminary field
and desktop assessments and consultations with the local community
leadership in Kanye, government departments, NGOs and other
relevant stakeholders. The results from the first stage will form
the structure of the main report, which will be developed and
compiled during the second stage.
The SToR was submitted to the DEA on August 25,
2020. The DEA provided comments on the initial submission in early
October. Giyani, working with Botswana-based Loci Environmental
(Pty) Ltd (“Loci”), responded to the comments on
October 26, 2020.
Loci will work on completing the second stage of
the ESIA and we expect to file this with the DEA in Q1 2021.
Robin Birchall, CEO of
Giyani Metals
Corp. commented:
"I am delighted to report that we continue to
make steady progress on our ESIA for the K.Hill Project despite the
difficulties imposed by the global pandemic. I would like to thank
our consultants, Loci, for their hard work as well as the Giyani
team in country for ensuring a smooth submission of the SToR. As we
have come to expect, the Botswana DEA has been highly efficient and
professional to deal with as could be expected from Africa’s
premier FDI jurisdiction.”

Forward Looking Information
This press release contains "forward-looking
information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation. All statements in this news release, other than
statements of historical fact, that address events or developments
that Giyani expects to occur, are "forward-looking statements".
Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical
facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words
"expects", "does not expect", "plans", "anticipates", "does not
anticipate", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects",
"potential", "scheduled", "forecast", "budget" and similar
expressions, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may",
"could", "should" or "might" occur.
All such forward-looking statements are based on
the opinions and estimates of the relevant management as of the
date such statements are made and are subject to certain
assumptions, important risk factors and uncertainties, many of
which are beyond Giyani's ability to control or predict.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and
assumptions that are inherently subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results,
level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. In the case of Giyani, these facts include their
anticipated operations in future periods, planned exploration and
development of its properties, and plans related to its business
and other matters that may occur in the future. This information
relates to analyses and other information that is based on
expectations of future performance and planned work programs.
Forward-looking information is subject to a
variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which could cause actual events or results to differ from those
expressed or implied by the forward-looking information, including,
without limitation: inherent exploration hazards and risks; risks
related to exploration and development of natural resource
properties; uncertainty in Giyani's ability to obtain funding;
commodity price fluctuations; recent market events and conditions;
risks related to the uncertainty of mineral resource calculations
and the inclusion of inferred mineral resources in economic
estimation; risks related to governmental regulations; risks
related to obtaining necessary licenses and permits; risks related
to their business being subject to environmental laws and
regulations; risks related to their mineral properties being
subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers, or claims and
other defects in title; risks relating to competition from larger
companies with greater financial and technical resources; risks
relating to the inability to meet financial obligations under
agreements to which they are a party; ability to recruit and retain
qualified personnel; and risks related to their directors and
officers becoming associated with other natural resource companies
which may give rise to conflicts of interests. This list is not
exhaustive of the factors that may affect Giyani's forward-looking
information. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those described in the
forward-looking information or statements.
