Development Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

Prior to the closure of the prospecting right, the following is required: • A Closure Certificate from the DMR in terms of Section 43(4) of the MPRDA. • An environmental authorisation from the DMR in terms of the NEMA, as amended. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations being followed are Government Notice Regulation (GNR) 982 of 4 December 2014, as amended.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Marula Platinum (Pty) Ltd (Marula) owns and operates a platinum mine approximately 35 km north west of Burgersfort in the Greater Tubatse Local Municipality and Sekhukhune District Municipality in the Limpopo Province. Marula holds a Prospecting Right (DMR Ref No: 420/2006 PR) for platinum group metals (PGMs), silver ore, gold ore, nickel ore, cobalt, sulphur (in pyrite) and copper ore, and chrome ore on a portion of the farm Hackney 116 KT (Hackney) located to the north of the Marula mining right area. In 2007 and 2012 Marula undertook prospecting activities on the farm Hackney, during which time five out of ten approved exploration boreholes were drilled. In 2012, access to the prospecting right area was denied on various occasions by members of the Djate/Modimolle/Matukwaneng communities and after numerous unsuccessful attempts to resolve matters raised by these communities, Marula has not been able to continue with prospecting. In line with the Implats’ strategic review of its operations, the Marula Board resolved in May 2017 to exit and close the Hackney prospecting right, and not to pursue the conversion of the prospecting right into the Marula mining right, as there was no reasonable prospect to include the area in the 30 year Mine Plan.
