Sydney, Nov 2, 2022 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Theta Gold Mines Limited (googlechartASX:TGM) (googlechart3LM:FRA) (googlechartTGMGF:OTCMKTS) is pleased to advise that the South African Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) has awarded the first of the two water use licences required for its TGME Underground Gold Mine.

The new Greater TGME Integrated Water Use License (WUL) is issued in accordance with Chapter 4 of the National Water Act, 1998 (Act 36 of 1998) for a period of 12 years. The WUL forms an integral part of TGME Underground Project since it authorises all current water use activities within Mining Right (MR) 83 area.

The DWS will inform all interested and affected parties of the issuing of this license. No public participation process is required for this license however any interested and effected parties may still appeal the licence. The Company has, however, in the interest of transparency sent out a notification to inform all of our stakeholders that the license was issued. Our stakeholder engagement forum will going forward be kept updated in terms of compliance monitoring of the license.

Following the granting of this WUL, Theta Gold has now secured all of the regulatory licences required for the Frankfort Mine.

Theta Gold Chairman, Bill Guy, commented: "The full approvals now granted for the Frankfort Mine marks another key step forward for the development of TGME Gold Project.

"Bulk sampling work shall commence on Frankfort mine in the coming weeks with the aim to optimise mining and to maximise ore recovery.

"The full approval of the Frankfort Mine displays full recognition from all related government departments of Theta's effort to becoming a responsible miner in the region.

"I would like to thank our management team and consultants who worked tirelessly on achieving such positive outcomes for the Company.
