Basic Assessment for the Development of a Water Treatment Plant at Evander Gold Mines

Evander Gold Mines (EGM) intends to develop a Water Treatment Plant (WTP) for the treatment of water emanating from underground dewatering activities. The EGM WTP will be approximately 2 500 m2 in extent and will be developed on an existing disturbed area. The facility will be located adjacent to the existing EGM Tailings Storage Facility (near the Elikhulu facility) and will have a maximum processing capacity to treat 11 000 m3 of water per day. The water will be treated to a potable water standard (SANS 241) and will be used to supplement water use requirements at EGM.
