Project Fairway comprises the establishment of additional infrastructure at Everest Platinum Mine to enable the extension of the underground mine into the Booysendal South mining block. Existing infrastructure at the mine will be used as far as possible to minimise disturbance of the environment. The proposed Project Fairway involves parts of the farms Sterkfontein 52JT, De Kafferskraal 53JT, Sterkfontein 749JT and Buttonshope 51JT near the Steenkampsberge between Lydenburg and Roossenekal in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa. The proposed Project Area is located at the bottom and along the eastern edge of the Groot Dwars River Valley. The Project Area is located in the Groot Dwars River Valley and along the rugged eastern edge of the Groot Dwars River Valley and is part of a cultural landscape that is marked by heritage remains dating from the pre-historical into the historical (colonial) period. 
This Dwelling is built with rubble and clay. The historical remains consists of two hamlets (H01 and H02) which were probably occupied by two family groups living in close proximity of each other on the higher eastern banks of the Groot Dwars River. This hamlet is located on the floor of the Groot Dwars River Valley, approximately 120m below the escarp and the surface of the landscape above the valley. This hamlet has the most extensive stone walls and also holds the remains of a large dwelling which was constructed with rubble and clay walls.
