ProposalDescription: 

Tropic Mining (Pty) Ltd (Golden Tropic) is applying for a mining right and associated Environmental Authorisation (EA) and Waste Management Licence (WML) in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998) (NEMA), the National Environmental Management Waste Act (Act No. 59 of 2008) (NEM: WA) and the section 22 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (Act No. 28 of 2002) (MPRDA), as amended. The proposed mining project will cover an area of 2 627.28 hectares and is located on a Portion of Zwart Modder Mountain No. 446 (445) approximately ±45km North East of Pofadder Kai! Garib Local Municipality situated in the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality, Northern Cape Province.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Golden Tropic Mining appointed Ndi Geological Consulting Services (Pty) Ltd as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) to facilitate the EA/WML process for the proposed granite mining project. The choice of mining method in a dimension stone quarry is largely affected by the geology of the deposit. Boulder formations will largely be quarried by means of splitting methods, especially by means of the use of blasting gunpowder, while solid formations will require at least some application of one or more cutting methods in order to loosen large benches from the solid formation.
