ProposalDescription: 

Synchroplex (Pty) Ltd is in the process of applying for a Prospecting Right with Bulk Sampling under a Section 102 application, for the prospecting of iron, silver, zinc, copper and sulphur ore on the Farm Areachap no 426, Gordonia. They therefore seek to apply for an additional Environmental Authorisation for this area which will include the listed activities for a bulk sampling operation.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The prospecting operation is based on copper-zinc volcanic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) deposits. The Cu-Zn-S-Ag-Fe ore will primarily be extracted from an opencast trench, but also from an existing underground shaft. Furthermore, exploration boreholes to a depth of 350 m are planned. An estimated total volume of 102 000 m3 will be produced over four years. Prospecting activities will primarily make use of existing roads and infrastructure, but additional roads will be created in order to access working and exploration areas. The full extent of all planned infrastructure and activities are not currently known, but existing features include an office and workshop complex, a series of shafts, mine dumps, excavations, ablutions, water storage, concrete surfaces and fence lines.
