Inala Supply Chain Management Prospecting Right Application

The proponent is intending to prospect for mineral commodity of antimony ore, copper ore, gold ore, iron ore, nickel ore and zinc ore. The prospect area is situated over the farm Leeuwspruit 18 LU portion 1 in Phalaborwa within the Ba-Phalaborwa Local Municipality in Limpopo Province. The number of boreholes to be drilled is 12. Prospecting for above-mentioned minerals is a dynamic and result‐driven operation which proceeds in phases, the outcome of which cannot be predicted or predetermined. The programme could be stopped at any stage during the prospecting operation if the results are negative or non-economical. Prospecting activities to be undertaken include non‐invasive (e.g. desktop studies and ground geophysical surveys) and invasive (e.g. drilling) techniques. The size of the areas where prospecting will take place will be limited and will be done on an already disturbed area in order to minimise the surface disturbance. Consequently, the site will rapidly recover following completion of exploration activities.
