Reporting to DYL and Reptile’s Managing Director Dr Leon Pretorius, Mr Niemann will work closely with Mr Klaus Frielingsdorf (Reptile’s General Manager) to advance the scoping studies and evaluation of the primary INCA uraniferous magnetite and Tubas Red Sand deposits which Mr Frielingsdorf commenced several months ago.

He will also advance parallel in-house scoping studies on the Tubas-Oryx-Tumas palaeochannel secondary calcrete hosted uranium deposits.

At Rossing he was also responsible for the management of various feasibility studies and the development and implementation of a number of projects including the design, erection and commissioning of new process systems.
