Administration Description

Date: 2012-11-05
Demarcate as no-go area with a 20 meter buffer if prospecting activities are to be
conducted closer than 100 meters from the site and monitor for disturbance by ECO. If at any stage the site is disturbed a qualified archaeologist must be contracted to
evaluate the damage and make recommendations on the appropriate mitigation
measures. If it is found that mining activity cannot be altered to avoid the site, a destruction
permit will be required from SAHRA, backed by a mitigation report that must include
documentation of the site layout, analysis of the material and compiled as a final
report on the archaeological site.
