Mining permit on portion 190 of the farm Kroondal 304 JQ

The method that will be employed is a very basic form of open pit mining, and a 3.45 ha area will be demarcated for mining. Prior to mining, trenches will be excavated in order to delineate the outcrop. This will be followed by blasting and subsequent mining of the orebody utilising a truck and shovel operation. The mined ore will be crushed and screened using a mobile crushing and screening plant. A front-end loader will be used to load the material into haulage trucks which will be processed off-site. The mine will operate for a two (2) year permit period with an option to renew for three (3) periods, each of which may not exceed one (1) year if the mining programme is not yet completed.
