This application for Environmental Authorisation specifically gives effect to that. Beeshoek Iron Ore Mine is situated approximately 7 km west of the town of Postmasburg, in the Northern Cape Province. The mine is situated under the jurisdiction of the Tsantsabane Local Municipality, under the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality. The regional R385 road, as well as the OREX Railway Line traverses the mine. The proposed new mining activities are located on the following Farms: Portion 0 of the farm Beesthoek 448 RD (1,543ha), Portion 1 of the farm Beesthoek 448 RD (1,231ha) and Portion 4 of the farm Olynfontein 475 RD (2,168ha)

Expanded_Motivation: 

Beeshoek Iron Ore Mine (hereafter referred to as “the Mine” or “Beeshoek”) is actively investigating opportunities for the continued and sustainable mining of iron ore reserves within the approved Mining Right Area (MRA). This application for Environmental Authorisation specifically gives effect to that and includes the following projects: 1. Amendments to certain conditions which have been identified in the recent EMPr Environmental Audits, 2019 as “not sufficient or not practical” to address activities on site. 2. Specific demarcation of Run of Mine (ROM) Stockpiles on South Mine; 3. Amendments to the design of existing Waste Rock Dumps (WRDs) in terms of the increase in heights, and allowance for final slope, which will result in extension of footprints; 4. Increase of opencast footprint areas, as well as the undertaking of detrital mining; 5. Beneficiation Plant Optimisation 6. Development of supporting infrastructure such as water dams, power lines, roads, pipelines and improvements to storm water management systems where applicable
