Expanded_Motivation: 

Technological alternatives: Geophysical surveys, trenching and drilling are the only major methods used in exploring for deposits of this type and for resource definition and evaluation. The technology to be used cannot be replaced by any other methods thus these are the preferred activities. Due to the nature of the proposed prospecting activities future land use alternatives will not be compromised. Once available reserve has been confirmed a comprehensive Social and Environmental Impact Assessment will be required (in accordance with legislation), during which time alternative land use to mining would be investigated. Preferred site The proposed prospecting area is targeted as, historically several mineral deposits occurences are known in the area with mines such as Foskor in the area. The site therefore regarded as preferred site and alternative site is not considered.
