ProposalDescription: 

Mn48 (Pty) Ltd (previously named Lehating Mining (Pty) Ltd) (Mn48) is proposing to consolidate the Mn48 Mining Right (MR) area and the Khwara MR Application Area and associated Environmental Management Programme reports and Environmental Authorisations. In addition, the approved layout of surface infrastructure located on a portion of Portion 1 of the farm Lehating 741 needs to be amended to cater for the consolidated operations following the outcome of the Bankable Feasibility Study.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Mn48 (Pty) Ltd (previously named Lehating Mining (Pty) Ltd) (Mn48) holds a Mining Right (MR) and approved Environmental Management Programme report (EMPr) and an Environmental Authorisation (EA) for the development of a new underground manganese mining operation near Black Rock in the Joe Morolong Local Municipality, located in the John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality, Northern Cape Province. The approved mine will be located on a portion of Portion 1 of the farm Lehating 741. Immediately adjacent and to the south of the Mn48 MR area, Khwara Manganese (Pty) Ltd (Khwara) holds an approved EA for underground mining of manganese and iron ore in, on and under Portion 2 of the farm Wessels 227 and manganese ore in, on and under the Remaining Extent and Portions 3 and 4 of the farm Dibiaghomo 226 (Khwara MR Application Area). The Khwara EA was granted pursuant to Khwara's application for a mining right and an EA in respect of the Khwara MR Application Area. The Khwara MR Application is still being processed by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE). The underground manganese resource in the Khwara MR Application Area will be accessed using Mn48’s approved surface infrastructure. In this regard, no surface infrastructure will be established on the properties within the Khwara MR Application Area. Aside from initial site clearing activities, no surface infrastructure has been established to date. Mn48 is now proposing to consolidate the Mn48 MR area and the Khwara MR Application Area and associated EMPrs and EAs. In addition, the approved layout of surface infrastructure located on a portion of Portion 1 of the farm Lehating 741 needs to be amended to cater for the consolidated operations following the outcome of the Bankable Feasibility Study.
