ProposalDescription: 

Boswa Boteng Mining Resources (Pty) Ltd proposes to establish a small-scale tigers-eye mining operation. The total development area will be approximately 5.0 hectares, and will have a lifespan of 2 years. The process will include the removal of tigers-eye from the demarcated land. The tigers-eye will be stored in stockpiles within the 5.0-hectare area. The removal unprocessed tigers eye boulders will be transported using a Truck Load Backhoe (TLB) to the camp site, located within the 5.0 hectares. The following infrastructure will form part of this mining operation.Gamopedi, Kuruman, Northern Cape

Expanded_Motivation: 

The tiger’s eye mining industry is one of the important industries in the country and Lower Kuruman Native Reserve 219 about 16 km North of Kuruman has an abundant supply of this resource. The proposed method of removal of tiger’s eye allows easy access of machinery to the site and does not require extensive machinery as other methods, making it feasible for small-scale miners. It reduces the overall costs associated with the mining process, thus allowing financial viability in small scale mining of deposits. Boswa Boteng Mining Resources (Pty) Ltd would contribute towards local socio-economic development, as it aims to provide employment opportunities to the local people as far as possible, thus stimulating development in the Gamopedi community. The proposed project therefore is an effort to make use of available opportunities and development in the Ga-Segonyana Local Municipality.
