NEWS RELEASE | 23 July 2021
Permitting Update
Berkeley Energia Limited ("Berkeley" or the "Company") advises
that it has taken the first steps to overturn the previously
announced unfavorable decision by the Nuclear Safety Council
("NSC") for the grant of the Authorisation for Construction for the
uranium concentrate plant as a radioactive facility ("NSC II") at
the Company's Salamanca project (see announcement dated 12 July
2021).
Berkeley has now submitted an 'Improvement Report' to supplement
the Company's initial NSC II Application, along with the
corresponding arguments that address all of the issues raised by
the NSC, and has requested its reassessment by the NSC. The
Improvement Report includes technical arguments that, in the
Company's view, will clearly demonstrate that the project is
compliant with all requirements for NSC II.
This Improvement Report and associated documentation has been
submitted to the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic
Challenge ("MITECO") following its notification to the Company
advising that, in accordance with Spanish administrative law, a
hearing process in relation to the NSC's decision has been opened
and provides Berkeley with the opportunity to submit relevant
documentation to MITECO by 4 August 2021.
As previously reported, Berkeley strongly refutes the NSC's
assessment and notes that all documentation submitted by the
Company in relation to NCS II has been prepared following advice
from independent, nationally and internationally recognised
advisors and consultants who are experts in their field.
It should also be noted that more than 120 previous permits and
favourable reports have been granted by the relevant authorities at
the local, regional, federal and European Union levels in relation
to the Salamanca project, among which nine have been from the
NSC.
The Company will continue to strongly defend its position in
relation to the adverse decision by the NSC and will continue to
update the market on any material developments as they occur.
