ProposalDescription: 

United Manganese of Kalahari (Pty) Ltd (UMK) is an opencast manganese mine located on farm Botha 313, the remaining extent (RE) of the lies on farm Smartt 314, and portion 1 and RE of the farm Rissik 330 near Hotazel in the Northern Cape Province and lies directly adjacent and to the west of the R380 provincial road. UMK currently holds the following authorisations: • A mining right (30/5/1/2/3/2/1(113) MR) issued by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE); • An Environmental Management Programme report (EMPr) approved by DMR; • Environmental Authorisations (NC/KGA/HOT7/15/2006 & NC 30/5/1/2/2/113 MR) issued by the Department of Environment and Nature Conservation (DENC) and the DMR respectively; and • A Water Use License (IWUL) (10/D41K/ABEGJ/2814) issued by the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS).

Expanded_Motivation: 

The mine consists of open pit mining sections, crushing and screening plant, run of mine, product stockpiles, waste rock dumps, and associated support and administrative infrastructure. UMK is proposing to change the approved surface layout for the mine to optimize their mining operations. An initial application for amendment of the approved EMPr was submitted in September 2020. Following further correspondence with the DMRE, UMK decided to amend the original application and remove some of the activities that the mine was applying authorization for.
