ProposalDescription: 

Kimswa Mining (“The applicant”) has applied for a Mining Right on the above Portion of Remainder Pniel 281 and a portion of the Vaal River (112.1703 ha) located in the Barkly West District, Northern Cape Province to mine for Diamonds (Alluvial) and Diamonds (General). The property is located on the northern bank of the Vaal River about 12 km North of Barkly-Wes on the route to Postmasburg. This application is on a small piece of Pniel and on un-surveyed state land within the Vaal River.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The focus will be to mechanically remove the diamond differous gravels by means of an excavator and front-end loader, loading it onto 40 t trucks and transporting the material (mineral resource) to a Recovery Plant Facility. The area will be excavated (opencast method) with an excavator up to bedrock, stockpiled next to an open area and loaded onto the trucks by a frond end loader. The trucks will transport the gravel via a newly constructed road, which will be constructed to the required safety standard. No provincial roads will be used. At the processing plant the run of mine tailings will be fed onto a grizzly for the screening out oversize material. The gravel will be processed through a screening and crushing section for delivery to a recovery plant and associated equipment. In terms of the processing it should take place outside the 1:100 year floodline and a processing area will be negotiated with the Department and Surface Owner. This area will be used for all processing and stockpiling operations with an agreement entered into with the relevant Department and Farm owner).
