ProposalDescription: 

Breakthrough Power Solar (Pty) Ltd with the service of an independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner from Mielelani Consultancy is applying for a Mining Permit on a 5 Hectares piece of land on Portion of the farm A Lot 15049. The Farm is located within the jurisdiction of Newcastle Local Municipality, Amajuba District in Mpumalanga Province. The application area lies approximately 05 Kilometres west of Newcastle town.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Open-pit mining, also known as opencast mining, is a surface mining technique that extracts coal ore from an open pit in the ground. Open-pit mining is the most common method used throughout the world for mining and does not require extractive methods or tunnels. This surface mining technique is used when ore deposits are found relatively close to the surface of the earth. Open-pit mines are dug on benches that are between four and sixty-meters in size, depending on the size of machinery used to excavate. The walls of most open-pit mines are dug at an angle and include steps to prevent avalanches from occurring inside the build site. The incline section of the wall is called the ‘batter,’ and the flat part of the step is called the ‘bench’ or ‘berm.’
