ProposalDescription: 

The Amandelbult Concentrator Complex has an existing approved and operational Chrome Recovery Plant. However, this existing Chrome Recovery Plant is not designed to recover fine chromite (-100 µm fraction). An initiative was therefore identified in which an increased recovery of chromite can be realised at Amandelbult through the beneficiation of fine chromite from the Concentrator tailings. It is envisaged that the additional recovery of metallurgical and/or chemical grade chromite will result in an increased yield of chromite for Amandelbult, as well as reduced water losses associated with the existing approved tailings dams. The proposed FCR Plant project will add limited infrastructure to the extensive Amandelbult Complex and will further utilise the existing facilities

Expanded_Motivation: 

Anglo American Platinum Rustenburg Platinum Mines (RPM) Amandelbult Section is an existing platinum mine located near Northam in the Limpopo Province. The Fine Chrome Recovery (FCR) initiative forms part of the “Making Amandelbult Investable Again” programme and the Amandelbult journey towards “P101”. The Amandelbult Concentrator Complex has an existing approved and operational Chrome Recovery Plant. However, this existing Chrome Recovery Plant is not designed to recover fine chromite (-100 µm fraction). An initiative was therefore identified in which an increased recovery of chromite can be realised at Amandelbult through the beneficiation of fine chromite from the Concentrator tailings. It is envisaged that the additional recovery of metallurgical and/or chemical grade chromite will result in an increased yield of chromite for Amandelbult, as well as reduced water losses associated with the existing approved tailings dams. The tailings streams from both the UG2 #1 and UG2 #2 Concentrators as well as the Merensky Concentrator tailings stream will feed the proposed FCR Plant to realize the full benefit of fine chromite recovery. The proposed FCR Plant project will add limited infrastructure to the extensive Amandelbult Complex and will further utilise the existing facilities.
