Development Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

The scope of the applications will be small scale diamond mining operation. The main mining activities will be excavation of Alluvial Diamond bearing gravel resource, and processing it through a washing plant. All the waste from the screening and washing plant will be placed back into the bottom of the excavation, here after the topsoil will be replaced back as a growth medium and the surface will be leveled.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The above area will be mined through opencast excavations where the topsoil will be stripped separately and stockpiled. The gravel is then removed with a 20 ton excavator and placed next to the excavation. A Front -end Loader takes the gravel to the 14 feet washing pan which is fed at a rate of 10m³ an hour, 100m³ a day and 2000m³ a month. All the rough are first placed back into the bottom of the excavation, hereafter the puddle out of the pan is pumped directly back into the open excavation. After the puddle dried off, the topsoil is put back on top again. The excavations will be 30m in length 8m wide and ±3.5 meters deep on average. Only one excavation will be opened at a time. The total estimated reserve of gravel is 105 000m³ taken at a production rate of 2000m³ a month it will take 50 months to work the estimated reserve of 100 000m³.
