ProposalDescription: 

It will be a Clay mining operation. The main mining activities will be opencast excavations in order to access the mineral. There will be no processing as the clay will be used at the adjacent Brick Manufacturing plant.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Welkom Bricks intends to mine for Clay general situated on a portion of the farm Klein Kopjes Alleen Welkom district, and 5 hectares in total. The clay will be used in brick making industry. The clay is situated on this demarcated area on average 2.5 meters deep. The identified and demarcated which are 5 hectares in total includes the entire mining area of 4.5 ha will be used for mining and 0..5 ha for the stockpiling. The clay reserve on this 3 hectares is estimated at 75 000 tons. The above area will be mined through opencast excavations where the clay will be removed with an excavator onto a stockpile and loaded by a frond end loader on the trucks for transporting to the adjacent brick factory. The clay from the stockpile is transported at an average rate of 100 tons a day to the brick factory or as needed. The total estimated reserve of Clay is 75 000 tons taken at a production rate of 2000 tons a month it will take 38 months to work this reserve. The clay which is 2 m thick and the relatively low production rate of this operation make this 5 hectare to be worked sustainable over a period of four years. The total cost of the operation is taken at R 47/ton and the total material moved monthly at 2000tons. The total monthly mining cost is then R 94 500 .00 and the total monthly income is on average R 160 000.00. This operation can thus be economical viable.
