ProposalDescription: 

The proposed project is located on the Farm Makotopong 1200LS within the Magisterial District of Capricorn, Limpopo Province. The proposed project is located approximately 32 km northeast of Polokwane along the National Road (N1) and 72km south of Louis Trichardt.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The preferred activity is the mining of Iron Ore and Manganese and it will be extracted through open cast mining method. The selected site layout is represented in the selection was based on the position and of the mineral reserves to be exploited, land ownership, geo-hydrological impacts and the ease and available transport modes and routes. The ore will be mined from an open pit using excavators, bulldozers, trucks, bowl scraper and shovel. A tripper conveyor is proposed for the stacking method. The proposed technologies were based on their long-term success in terms of mining history, therefore no alternatives are indicated. The operation aspects of the proposed mining involve the open cast mining, the processing plant, pollution control dams, workshops, material stockpiles, storage, excavations, access roads, diesel and wash bays. No feasible alternative operational aspect methods currently exist. The No-go option might be considered if the mining right application is rejected however, the applicant will loss the opportunity to utilise the reserves and the agricultural activity will continue.
