ProposalDescription: 

Anglo Operations Proprietary Limited (“AOPL”) previously conducted underground coal mining operations at the Nooitgedacht Colliery and specifically at the No. 5 Seam. Glencore Operations South Africa (“GOSA”) now proposes to mine the No. 4 seam and the No. 2 seam below the No 5 seam workings. Such mining will take place under the mining right (MP 30/5/1/2/2/303 MR) that was approved as part of the Section 11 mining right transfer on 19 February 2019. The bord and pillar mining method will be used, using Continuous Miners (“CM”) feeding shuttle cars. Coal mined will either be placed on a conveyor or will be trucked to GOSA’s South Witbank Colliery (“SWC”) processing plant. A 40-meter-wide servitude is proposed for this. Access to the underground workings will take place via a decline shaft. The location of the decline shaft will be on the same area that was previously used by AOPL. Proposed surface infrastructure will further include for offices, carports, change houses, workshops, etc. A topsoil stockpile and waste rock dump will be established as part of the sinking of the decline shaft. An emergency ROM stockpile area will also be constructed and will be used during conveyor/truck downtime and / or maintenance. Two Pollution Control Dams (“PCD”) will be constructed as part of the Nooitgedacht Colliery. The proposed Nooitgedacht Colliery will be located approximately halfway between Bethal and Ogies (30 km), in the province of Mpumalanga.
