ProposalDescription: 

Glubay Coal (Pty) Ltd is an affiliated company of Canyon Resources which is a mining and exploration company with current operations in Mpumalanga and Gauteng. The company has five operational coal mines, Hakhano and Singani Colliery in the Middelburg area, Phalanndwa and Phalanndwa Extension Colliery in the Delmas area and Khanye Colliery situated in the Bronkhorstspruit area. All five are opencast coal mines, mined through the typical truck and shovel method with concurrent rehabilitation being done at all five sites. The Springfield Coal Mining Project (Springfield Project) is a proposed opencast colliery linked to Redan Siding, located in, on and around the old workings of the abandoned Springfield Colliery, 7km South of Meyerton & 10km North of Vereeniging in the Sedibeng District Municipality of the Gauteng Province. The Mining Right application area falls over the following farms located partially in the Midvaal Local Municipality and the Emfuleni Local Municipality: • Kookfontein 545 IQ; • Damfontein 541 IQ; • Smaldeel 542 IQ; • Waldrift 599 IQ; • Vlakfontein 546.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The application area is 2 547 Hectares (Ha) in extent but the area to be disturbed by mining and associated activities is approximately 1,300 Ha. The project has a resource of approximately 266 million tonnes of coal that will be marketed to local and export markets. Coal will be loaded for export from the Redan Siding. Production will start at approximately 100 000 tons per month and will increase by approximately 100 000 tons per month to an average of 600 000 tons per month during full production with a life of mine (LOM) of 31 years. Coal mining will be undertaken by the conventional truck and shovel rollover method and will be opencast only. Concurrent rehabilitation will occur during the operational phase by means of the roll over method. The project will entail new mining infrastructure being developed, which will potentially include: • Opencast mining pit. • Processing plant. • Overburden stockpiles. • Plant roads and haul roads. • Run of mine (RoM) stockpiles. • Product stockpile. • Conveyor belts. • Pollution control dams (PCDs). • Discard dump and slurry dams (co disposal facility). • Redan siding. • Stormwater trenches. • Site and security offices. • Bulk fuel storage facility. • Workshops and contractor yards for the mining and logistics contractors. • Hard park areas with offices. • 2x weighbridges. • Sewage management system and plant. • Water treatment plant. • Water pipelines. • Electricity supply infrastructure.
