# Four-licence research disposition

| Licence | Recoverable evidence | Historical/provenance question | Current gap |
|---|---|---|---|
|8995|January acquisition; February–September programmes; ULG trenches and 87-hole modern campaign;2023/24 environmental dossier|ESR expressly links 8026→8995 for nuclear commodities. Eino E T Shaanika is named proponent; Namibia Uranium is described as accessing mineral rights. This does not independently establish the current registered holder.106 legacy holes include 8995 and 8298, but operator chain unresolved.|Current issued title/transfer, ECC and appropriate heritage consent; complete drilling/sample/coordinate files|
|8290|2022 draftESR names Viviene Ndatenga Ndahambela Aluteni as client and Namibia Uranium access;2025 samples pooled with 8995;2026 airborne interpretation|Four eastern anomalies versus three confirmed in detailedU/Th prose. Original operator and technical report chronology not recovered.|Current title/ECC and native geophysics; individual sample/licence attribution; modern drilling not independently established|
|8298|May 2025 renewal/amendmentEMP;18 target points;old ECC;2026 airborne and legacy gamma reporting|Legacy relogging spans 8995/8298. Per-hole allocation/operator records missing. Old map retains 8026 label.|Current decision and native historic database; environmental submission does not prove renewal|
|7986|May 2025 renewal/amendmentEMP;9 target points;2025 selected surface samples;Aprilpresentation|Cover date 12 May versus datasheet 7 May 2025; preserve both. Acquisitionmax 2923 ppm versus presentation subset 2480 ppm. Northern airborne survey coverage cannot be assumed.|Current title/ECC; full samples, QA/QC, target mapping and original technical report|

Sources and exact review scopes: document-review.csv; primary URLs: source-library.csv; analytical questions: research-matrix.md. Full historical operators, survey provenance and current tenure were investigated but not independently recovered; neighbouring operators are not attributed to these licences on proximity alone.

Additional public searches on 30 September 2026: Arkle Namibia Uranium 8995/8298 historical operators/drilling; Namibia Uranium 8290 report; EPL 7986 exploration report. Results added the EIS 8995 dossier and regulatory-list lead. Direct alternate 8290 EMP timed out; the MME 12 July 2022 licence-list host failed DNS. Search snippets are not treated as title evidence. No later chemical drill assays were recovered by these searches; absence of recovery is not proof none exists.
