ProposalDescription: 

Annesley Salt (Pty) Ltd (“The applicant”) has applied for a Mining Right on Annesley no. 338, Gordonia, Northern Cape Province to mine for salt. Annesley Salt (Pty) Ltd (“The applicant”) will also lodge an application for a Water Use Licence for the mining activities on Annesley no. 338, Gordonia. The proposed salt mine is situated on a portion of the farm known as the Remainder of the Farm Annesley no. 338, which is located approximately 120 km north of Upington, and approximately 35 km southwest of Noenieput, in the Northern Cape Province.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Evaporation dams (100m x 60m x 0.6m dams) will be constructed. The dams will be opened up to the clay level and dams formed to 60cm from the floor, formed by the hardened sulphates. Brine from the boreholes will be pumped into the dams allowing water to evaporate. Thus helping the formation of salt crystals and keeping the salt from forming a base that cannot be cultivated. The salt crystals are collected as coarse salt and stockpiled. Mining activities will primarily make use of existing roads created by previous activities, but additional roads will most likely be created.
