ProposalDescription: 

Prospecting Right Application on the Farm No 42 Remainder of Portion 1 of the Farm Annex Vlegulandsput, Magisterial District of Prieska, Northern Cape. The application area is 1676.89 ha. The farm is situated straight east of the small town Prieska. The town lies +/- 45km to the west of the proposed prospecting area.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Non-Invasive Activities In order to direct the exploration programme in an efficient manner, there will be a review of all information and data gathered during previous exploration. A site investigation of the target areas will be undertaken to identify infrastructure and determine any potential problems that may need to be addressed. High-resolution satellite images will be studied and used to geologically map the application area. Contracts between various lithologies will be mapped and specific attention will be given to delineate and define areas underlain by alluvial gravels. Invasive Activities 20 Pits will be excavated with the following dimensions: 2m long by 1. wide by varying depths (0.5 - 5m), no material will be removed and the layers will be logged on the pit side walls. These pits will be on the same grid as the trenches. Only positive pits will be trenched. 20 Trenches will be excavated with the following dimensions on pits that prove to contain gravels (tested positive). It is estimated that an average 3m of overburden (calcrete and soil) will be removed before accessing the gravel layer (average width 2m) which is host to the diamonds. The trenches will be 200m x 100m x 0.5 - 5m deep. We calculate the volume of gravel on 2m and if all 20 trenches are going to be excavated an average of 800 000 cubic meters will be tested.
