Closure of Borrow Pits

Sishen Iron Ore Company (Pty) Ltd (“SIOC”) is in the process of applying for a Waste Management Licence (WML) for the closure of four (4) historic Borrow Pits which were developed in support of the Sishen Western Expansion Project (SWEP). The borrow pits are located on Portions 1 and 2 of the farm Fritz 540; Portion 1 and Remaining Extent (RE) of the farm Gamagara 541 and the Remaining Extent of the farm Nooitgedacht 469 in the Gamagara Local Municipality. The borrow pits were developed to source material for the construction of relocated infrastructure due to the SWEP. The borrow pits were also used for the disposal of construction (inert) waste post excavation. All four borrow pit sites have since been decommissioned and disposal activities have ceased
