ProposalDescription: 

The scope of the applications will be small scale diamond mining operation. The main mining activities will be excavation of Alluvial Diamond (DA) 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 levelled.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The applicant believes that the applied area has prospects for Diamonds (Alluvial) (DA) as applied for. This is natural vegetation with scare vegetation with historical disturbance caused by pick and shovel mining. There are another mining operation north-west of this site, which show the potential for Diamonds (Alluvial) (DA) in this area, thus the application in order to confirm if minerals can be mined successfully. The desirability of this project can be motivated that the impacts that will be caused by the mining activities can be properly mitigated and rehabilitated. It is also not over high potential agricultural land, but over an area which can be seen as marginal potential for agricultural cultivation. All mining activities will be kept within the mining permit area. The locality of the activities is over a small area within a bigger farm portion. The specific activities as listed will be on this 5 ha application area specific according to the sketch plan. The duration of the activities will be 2 years.
