ProposalDescription: 

Open cast mining with yellow equipment for manganese and ironore.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Mining in the opencast sections will be carried out by Wepex Trading utilising a combination of own and rental plant and equipment. Wepex Trading make use of Excavators to open the ore body after being drilled by rigs to identify the orebody. Large Excavators including Excavators fitted with pneumatic rock-hammers will be used to excavate the manganese ore to a size suitable for feeding into crushing plants. Dumper trucks are used to haul the ore to a crushing and screening plant where it is crushed, screened and sorted to size. Although drilling and blasting has not been used by Wepex Tading at this stage in the mining process it might be required at a later stage of the mining operations. Strip Mining High grade manganese ore will be removed and transported to the processing plant for processing. The open areas will only be backfilled if all manganese material is removed. Pits with lower grade manganese may not be backfilled immediately as future demand for such product may increase at a later stage. Overburden etc. will in this case be stored on close proximity to the open pit as is allowed in terms of safety regulations. Other pits will be backfilled to meet closure objectives described in the Environmental Management Plan.
