ProposalDescription: 

To alleviate traffic and safety concerns, and to optimise haul distances at Black Mountain Mine, Black Mountain Mining (Pty) Ltd proposes to construct a new haul road at the Mine(‘the project’). The proposed new haul road will be approximately 1.2 km long and 8 m wide on Portion 4, Farm Zuurwater No 62, Aggeneys, Namakwa District Municipality, Northern Cape.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Black Mountain Mining (Pty) Ltd (BMM) mines and processes copper, lead and zinc at the Black Mountain and Gamsberg Mines near the town of Aggeneys in the Northern Cape. The Black Mountain Mine (‘the Mine’), west of Aggeneys, comprises a processing area (including waste management and ancillary facilities) and two underground shafts: Deeps shaft and Swartberg shaft. Trucks transport ore and waste rock from the Swartberg shaft using an existing haul road to the processing area. The haul road intersects numerous ancillary roads in the processing area. Access to the Waste Rock Dump (WRD) at this intersection requires heavy vehicles to turn sharply which presents traffic issues and safety concerns. To alleviate traffic and safety concerns, and to optimise haul distances at the Mine, BMM proposes to construct a new haul road from the top of the WRD to the weighbridge area located adjacent to the existing haul road (‘the project’).
