Development of an airfield near Postmasburg

Sishen Iron Ore Company (Pty) Ltd (“SIOC”) – Kolomela mine, part of Kumba Iron Ore (Kumba) proposes to develop an airfield on Portions 1 and 2 of Farm/Plaas 538 Hay RD (Gruispan), approximately 11.6 km south of the town of Postmasburg, Tsantsabane Local Municipality, in the Northern Cape Province. The airfield will be used to accommodate air traffic related to passengers travelling to and from Kolomela mine, which is currently accommodated by Tommy’s Airfield, situated 10km north west of Postmasburg. Tommy’s Airfield does not have sufficient capacity to convey the current air traffic, resulting in overflow passengers flying to Kathu and being shuttled over 100 km by road.
