ProposalDescription: 

Kimswa Mining (Pty) Ltd (“The applicant”) has applied for a Prospecting Right on 04 July 2018 on the above mentioned farms situated in the Magisterial District of Prieska, Northern Cape Province to mine for diamonds (alluvial); diamonds (in kimberlites); diamonds (general). Prieska is a town on the south bank of the Orange River, in the province of the Northern Cape, in South Africa. The application area is about 60 km northwest from Prieska and about 25km east from Maryvale on the south bank of the Orange River, Northern Cape, South Africa.

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 included 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 related to the Prospecting Work Programme. The total duration of the prospecting and evaluation activities is planned for five (5) years.
