ProposalDescription: 

Memorandum on site status and heritage impact of the proposed expansion of the Glencore Thorncliffe platinum flotation plant and chrome plant, Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality, Limpopo Province

Expanded_Motivation: 

Glencore Operations South Africa (Proprietary) Limited proposes to establish a Fine Chrome Recovery (“FCR”) plant and extend the existing Platinum Group Metals (“PGM”) flotation plant at Thorncliffe Mine. The facilities are proposed within the existing mining area on portion 3 of the farm De Grooteboom 373 KT in the Limpopo Province and are proposed to cover an area of 1.8 ha that has previously been disturbed by mining activities. As part of the planning phase of the project, the mine needs to obtain approval from the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (“DMRE”) to amend their current Environmental Authorisation (EA). The Platinum Group Metals (“PGM”) flotation plant (also known as the Thorncliffe Tailings Treatment Facility) that is proposed to be expanded, is an existing plant at Thorncliffe Mine for which an environmental authorization (“EA”) was previously awarded.
