ProposalDescription: 

Vardocube (Pty) Ltd Mining Right

Expanded_Motivation: 

The applicant is applying for a Mining Right on the Remaining Extent of Portion 1 of the Farm Vogelstruisbult 104. The activity being applied for is exclusively for underground mining with no requirement for any surface area disturbance within the proposed mining right area. Orion Minerals (Orion), through its subsidiary company of Vardocube (Pty) Ltd., is the holder of a prospecting right in the Copperton area of the Northern Cape Province. The prospecting right was recently executed, and drilling of the Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Deposit, to confirm the mineral resource estimate for copper and zinc has commenced. The proposed Vardocube mining right area is adjacent to the Repli Trading No. 27 (Pty) Ltd. (Repli) mining right area. Repli is also a subsidiary of Orion and a Mining Right Application (DMR Reference No: NC30/5/1/2/3/2/1/10138 MR) for Repli was submitted in April 2018 and is expected to be finalised by the first quarter of 2019. Please note that the Mining Right Application for Vardocube is entirely separate to the Mining Right Application for Repli. The Copperton Deposit extends across the Repli and Vardocube prospecting right areas. Through its subsidiary company Vardocube, Orion therefore intends to access and mine the full extent of the Vardocube mining area via the refurbished existing Hutchings Shaft, situated on Portion 25 of the Farm Vogelstruisbult 104, within the proposed Repli mining right area. A commercial agreement will be entered into between Repli and Vardocube so that all other infrastructure and structures established to support the proposed Repli surface and underground mining will also be used for the underground mining of the deposit on Vardocube. The infrastructure and structures to be established by Repli have been designed with sufficient capacity to accommodate the additional ore and tailings from the Vardocube underground mining.
