The remains of small scale mica mining at a number of sites on Kalkfontein are probably of limited significance with regards to its heritage value. However, it is recommended that the relevant resources agency be consulted prior to the disturbance or alteration of these sites. - Due cognisance should be taken of the larger palaeontological, archaeological and historical landscape of the area in order to avoid the destruction of previously undetected heritage sites in the area. Here, care should be taken around sandstone outcrops and rock faces, as rock art is known to occur on such features. Water sources such as drainage lines, springs and pans should also be regarded as potentially sensitive in terms of possible Stone Age and Iron Age deposits. The existence of Historical Period and recent resources deriving from the area’s contemporary farming history should also be considered.
