ProposalDescription: 

Bakana Consulting Pty Ltd proposes to undertake prospecting activities for coal on Portion of Portion 2 and 3 of Farm Vaalbank 103 HT and the farm Oulaer 16997 HT within Emadlangeni Local Municipality of the Administrative District of Amajuba, Kwazulu Natal Province.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Prospecting is the search of clues that indicates that there are coal deposits beneath the surface. It is generally the search of coal seams to determine if they are mineable at a profit. The confidence of coal seams deposit is gained through using maps and historical data, geophysics, ground truthing, geochemistry which are considered non-invasive activities. When the local geology is understood, siting for drilling can then be undertaken. Drilling is done with fairly large machinery that use diamond-tipped, hollow drill ‘bits’ which produce varying amounts of ‘core’ depending on the extensiveness of the drill program. Diamondtipped bits are used because they can go through the hardest of rock, and the core produced is cylindrical and not typically more than a couple inches in diameter. The details of each drill hole (including direction and depth) are recorded in much detail, each meter of core is marked with the depth that it came from and which hole, if there’s been multiple drilled. Prospecting activities will be undertaken in different phases of which each is dependent on the preceding phase. Each phase will provide information that will determine whether the prospecting activities should be continued or abolished. The proposed prospecting is primarily focused on assessing the saline (brine) underground water for minerals accepted under this application.
