ProposalDescription: 

The proposed Zandriviers Drift (ZRD) limestone open cast mining project will be located on the farm Zandriviers Drift 188, Toekoms 974, Klein Moorland 973 and farm Vogelstruispan 189, situated within the greater Assen area, North West Province. PPC Currently operates an opencast limestone mine and associated crushing plant facility under an existing mining right at the Beestekraal mine. The existing Beestekraal operation is located near the town of Assen (approximately 52 km north of Brits) constituting a small farming community. The study area is situated in the Madibeng Local Municipality and furthermore forms part of the Bojanala District Municipality (BDM) of the North West Province. The study area for the proposed ZRD mining operations, is situated approximately 1km south of Assen covering land situated adjacent to the Assen police station and a few buildings with no major commercial or business value. The study area is approximately 1800 ha in extent and the limestone mining will take place by means of an open cast mine. It is envisaged that the proposed ZRD mine will mine approximately 350,000 tonnes/annum of limestone, where the limestone will then be transported to the existing Beestekraal mine for further crushing

Expanded_Motivation: 

The need and desirability for the project is supported by the need to convert the existing prospecting right for the area to a mining right due to the confirmed prevalence of the relevant limestone ore bodies. The proposed development of the ZRD mining operations will result in a number of employment opportunities to undertake the various mining, blasting and drilling operations on site which will inevitably contribute to economic upliftment of local community and the greater region. The project will furthermore provide a secure and long term supply of limestone resource to the cement industry.
