ProposalDescription: 

To mine for granite by drilling core in order to determine where the high-quality granite is located.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The applicant intends to mine for Granite/Syenite/(MA) situated on a the farm HARTEBEESTPOORT B 410 JQ (over a certain portion of Portion 961 & over a certain portion of Portion 1132). The Granite will be used in different facets of the dimension stone industry. The granite is situated on this demarcated area on average 4.5 meters deep. The identified and demarcated which are 3.5 hectares in total includes the entire mining area. 2 hectares will be used for mining and 1.5 hectare as dressing and stockpile area. The granite reserve on these 1.5 hectares is estimated at 900 m³. (It is taken that 10% of the material in situ (90’000m³) is sellable, thus 90% waste). The above area will be mined through blasting and opencast excavations where the granite will be drilled, blast and cut with a diamond saw into blocks. The blocks are then removed with a frond-end loader to the stockpile/dressing area for dressing and loading onto the trucks. The granite blocks will be transported to the clients at a rate of 300m³ a month. The total estimated reserve of Granite is 9’000m³ taken at a production rate of 300m³ a month it will take 30 months to work the estimated reserve of 9’000 m³. The granite which is 4.5m thick and the relatively low production rate of this operation make this 3.5 hectare to be worked sustainable over the initial period of two years and renewal periods of 3 years.
