ProposalDescription: 

The proposed mining operations constitute an opencast fluorspar mine on various portions of farms Doornhoek 305 JP, Farm 306 JP, Knoflookfonteing 310 JP, Strydfonteing 326 JP, Rhenosterfontein 304 JP, Kwaggafonteing 297 JP, Paardeplaats 296 JP, Saamgevoeg 320 JP and Witrand 325 JP, North West Province. The project falls under the jurisdiction of the Ditsobotla and Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipalities located within the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality (Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3). The project area is located between Zeerust, Mahikeng and Lichtenburg and borders the eastern section of Mahikeng Local Municipality. The project site is located approximately 220 km west of Johannesburg and 18 km south of the town of Zeerust. The proposed site is adjacent to the Witkop open pit fluorspar mine. The following coordinates serve as the centre point of the site: Latitude: 25°44'11.85"S; Longitude: 26°10'29.75"E The project has the potential to contain a large fluorspar resource which could sustain a mining operation well into the future. The deposit hosts both surface and underground resources sufficient to justify an initial life of mine of 30 years. At full production the resource is proposed to be mined at 1.5 million tonnes per annum as follows (Figure 5): - Resource Area A: Opencast mining up to a depth of approximately 60 m from year 5 to 10. - Resource Area C: Opencast mining up to a depth of approximately 90 m from year 20 to 30. - Resource Area D: Opencast mining up to a depth of approximately 90 m from year 10 to 20 with the possible mining of the areas to the side of the resource taking place from year 20 to 30. Construction of the mining infrastructure and access road(s) will take place during year 1 to 5. The planned infrastructure for the mining operations is as follows: • Overburden stockpiles; • Minerals processing plant and associated infrastructure; • Tailings storage facility; • Haul roads and access road; • Mine offices; • Water supply pipelines; • Electrical reticulation and sub-stations; and • Water Treatment Plant.
