    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, at the prospecting stage, very little disturbance is done to the environment. We have looked at this practice in other parts of the world and that is where we brought it from. When it comes to actual mining of the minerals then a very comprehensive environmental and social impact assessment will be done. That is required by the law anyway. So, at this point very little adverse impact is done to the environment. Secondly, we have looked at other models. If we are to attract investors with a very small piece of land, we will not make it. This is a new industry. We really want this industry to take off in this nation and that is why we have looked at the models in Botswana, Tanzania and other jurisdictions and we feel this is the right thing to do. Thank you."
