ProposalDescription: 

BRMO proposes to upgrade the water storage infrastructure at Gloria Mine to enable more efficient production including more efficient use and water at the site. The development: • Will reduce the potential for contamination of water by increasing buffer capacity. • Will reduce water consumption per tonne of ore processed by improving water management and reducing water loss. • Reduced water being lost to evaporation. • May reduce long term dependence on water from the Vaal Gamagara Pipeline due to improved water management. • Facilitate optimal dewatering of underground operations thus improve operational safety. • Will reduce potential for process stoppages due to insufficient storage or reticulation capacity. • Furthermore, this project supports the ultimate need and desirability of the greater BRMO; where the activities being applied for are supportive of the mining operations undertaken. The proposed development will be undertaken within the existing disturbed footprint and thus there will no clearing of undisturbed land. The expansion will continue to contribute towards the fiscus and employment within the area. The expansion affords the potential for improvement in cost of production reduced potential for process stoppages or constrictions and thus contributes towards BRMO remaining a competitive entity in the market.
