Development Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

The approved EMPr commits Tshipi to restore the surface to pre-mining state of wilderness and grazing and requires that the open pit is backfilled. Recent operation optimisation investigations indicate that when considering environmental, socio economic, technical, commercial and legal factors, completely backfilling the open pit is suboptimal. Northern Cape.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Tshipi is therefore proposing to change the current closure commitment (complete backfill of the open pit) to concurrent in-pit dumping. The alternatives have been considered with input from specialists (where relevant). Specialist findings have indicated that concurrent backfill i.e in-pit dumping is the optimal option from an environmental, socio-economic,technical and commercial perspective.
