ProposalDescription: 

New Denmark Colliery (“NDC”) is an underground mine situated in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa, and has been operational since 1983, extracting coal through both bord-and-pillar and longwall mining methods. The mine lies approximately 25 km to the south south-east of Secunda, 25 km north north-east of Standerton, 30 km west of Morgenzon and 33 km south south-west of Bethal. NDC falls under the jurisdiction of the Lekwa Local Municipality, which is part of the Gert Sibanda District in the Mpumalanga Province. NDC proposes to construct an access road leading to the new ventilation shaft to improve the ventilation systems. The proposed access road will cross and be located within a watercourse (unchanneled valley bottom wetland). The road will be a gravel road of 10 m wide and 700 m in length. The crossing will require for a bridge and culverts to be constructed. The site for the proposed access road is located within the NDC Mining Right area (“MRA”) but the surface rights belong to a farmer. A servitude agreement will be done in consultation with the farmer.
