Proposal Description
Departmental Ref.: To be received
Mining Right Ref: NC30/5/1/2/3/2/1/070
Khumani has an approved Mining Right in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (Act No. 28 of 2002) (MPRDA). Regulation 23 of the MPRDA states in Section 1(a), that subject to subsection (4), the Minister must grant a mining right if the mineral can be mined optimally in accordance with the mining work programme. The mine has been awarded a Mining Right by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) and therefore has an obligation to improve the Mining Work Programme. The projects in question are required as a result of ongoing optimisation, improved product management and improvement of logistics on site. It is the intention of Khumani to initiate certain additional infrastructure and activities on site.
Khumani is situated 15km south of Kathu, adjacent to the Kumba Iron Ore Mine and compromises of four (4) farms, namely Parson, King, Bruce and Mokaning (please refer to figures 1 and 2).
The mine falls within two (2) Local and two District Municipalities. The farm Mokaning is situated within the Tsantsabane Local Municipality (NC085), which forms part of the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality (formerly known as the Siyanda District Municipality). The farms Parson, Bruce and King are situated within the Gamagara Local Municipality (NC01B1), which forms part of the John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality (formerly known as the Kgalagadi District Municipality). As part of the Khumani Mine’s optimisation of mining activities and improvement of logistics on site, the Khumani Capital projects were proposed. The Khumani Capital Projects include the following:
Project 1: King Mine Optimisation
Project 2: King Mine KM02 Mine Residue Stockpile Rehabilitation
Project 3: New Bruce Block A & B Offgrade ROM Stockpile
Project 4: Product Stockpile Formalisation
Project 5: Discard Low Grade Stockpile Design Change
Project 6: Khumani Photovoltaic Solar Plant
