ProposalDescription: 

MCM Mining seeks to establish Makhado Colliery on the foot of the Soutpansberg mountations about 30 kilometres north of Makhado (Louis Trichard), Limpopo Province. In conformity with legal requirements, MCM appointed specialists to assess the impact of the proposed project on the receiving environment. The Environmental Impact Asessment was duly approved (see Appendix 1). A heritage impact assessment was performed and approved as part of the bigger EIA process (Roodt 2012). MCM Mining has decided to role out the development. However, as a firm believer in sound heritage and environmental stewardship, MCM Mining commissioned Millennium Heritage (Pty) Ltd to perform a confirmatory study to identify and assess the impact of the proposed development on identified heritage resources (Chirikure and Mathoho 2018.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Chirikure and Mathoho performed a detailed desktop study of known heritage resources in the area including CRM reports and academic papers, followed by ground truthing. The confirmatory study also included a field based palaeontological impact assessment performed by Dr Francois Durand (Durand 2018) (Appendix 3). The identified and confirmed heritage resources were plotted in relation to development plans. The HIA (Roodt 2012) and associated authorization recommended the mitigation of sites to be affected by the consolidation of existing activities because of their lowly Grade III significance. Based on the provisions of the NHRA Act, a permit is therefore required to comply with the recommendations of the HIA.
