ProposalDescription: 

The Kophia Diamonds Pty Ltd New Elands mine is operating under care and maintenance since 2011 and is applying for this status to continue indefinitely until market conditions and economics makes the project viable again on the Remaining Extent of New Elands No 949, Boshof District, Free State Province.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Since 2011 the infrastructure such as the hoist, headgear and all components of the plant were dismantled and removed. The shafts were closed and sealed with a concrete slab initially and later the concrete was removed and replaced with a steel plate and fence. Structures built and / or renovated specifically for mining purposes, such as the workshop, explosive magazines, wash bays, vehicle maintenance yards, salvage yards and waste disposal sites were removed. Final backfilling/ shaping of the trenches, the storage dam, tailings dumps and slimes dams have not been done. All the above areas are partially rehabilitated and over the years have become re-vegetated. No mining activities are proposed for the period in which the mine is under care and maintenance.
