ProposalDescription: 

Pioneer Minerals (Pty) Ltd (“The applicant”) has applied for a Prospecting Right on the above mentioned farm situated in the Magisterial District of Prieska, Northern Cape Province to mine for diamonds (alluvial); diamonds (in kimberlites); diamonds (general). The Remhoogte project is situated approximately 85km southwest of Douglas on the south bank of the Orange River which, lies 110km southwest of Kimberley, the administrative capital of the Northern Cape Province and the historic centre of the South African diamond mining industry.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Prospecting activities described in the Prospecting Work Programme (“PWP”) are designed for determining the gravel resource potential of the proposed application area. The prospecting activities will be a combination of both non-invasive and invasive methods. A suitable level of feasibility study (technical and economic evaluation) will also be undertaken. The initial prospecting activities will be non-invasive and restricted to a desktop study which includes a literature survey, plus aerial photograph and satellite image interpretation, and ground validation of targets in the first year. Subsequent phases will be of the invasive-type, typically pitting, or trenching aimed at recovering suitably representative samples to determine grade and quality. Bulk sample test work will be undertaken to test the grade and quality and ultimately the economic viability of the potential deposit. A standard phased approach to all prospecting activities will be implemented. Each prospecting activity will be undertaken on a scheduled timeline, with some activities being run concurrently, while others sequentially. Specific milestones will be determined and used as a basis for decisions regarding further activities. The total duration of the prospecting and evaluation activities is planned for five (5) years
