ProposalDescription: 

The applicants intend to apply for three separate Mining Permit Authorisations adjacent to each other on portion 2 of the farm Rietfontein 314 JS.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Preliminary findings show the following: The majority of the demarcated study areas is associated with cultivated crops and pastures, while the remaining section has been disturbed by past diggings. The 1974 topographical map indicates one building in the southeastern corner of Area 3, but the building has subsequently completely been demolished and currently falls within the cultivated section. No material culture is associated with this site and no additional potential heritage sites were observed during the pedestrian survey or on historical topographical maps. From a heritage perspective, the demarcated study areas are not considered to be sensitive.
