Crown Gold Recoveries: Soweto Cluster Reclamation Project

Background Information Document © 2019 Kongiwe Environmental (Pty) Ltd

Page | 1

PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT

This Background Information Document aims to provide you with important information regarding:

❖ The reclamation of the existing Soweto Cluster dumps;

❖ The Environmental Impact Assessment and the Public Participation Process to be undertaken in

support of the reclamation process;

❖ An Integrated Water Use Licence Application process;

❖ How you can register as an Interested and Affected Party (I&AP) and be kept informed about the

project developments;

❖ The Public review and comment period for the Draft Scoping Report; and

❖ An invitation to attend a public meeting.

APPLICANT BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

DRDGold Limited, the largest gold tailings retreatment company in South Africa, is divided into two

operating subsidiary companies: Crown Gold Recoveries (Pty) Limited (Crown Gold) and Ergo Mining (Pty)

Limited (Ergo).

The Applicant for the reclamation of the Soweto Cluster dumps will be Crown Gold. Crown Gold intends

to reprocess and reclaim gold from six historic Slimes dams: 2L24; 2L20; 2L21; 2L16; 2L17 and 2L18 as well

as two historic Sand dumps 2A6 and 2A8. These dams and dumps are referred to collectively as “the

Soweto Cluster” and were all created prior to the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act

(MPRDA) which came into force in 2002.

Ultimately, by reclaiming the Soweto Cluster Dumps, Crown Gold will displace environmentally

problematic dams and dumps to controlled tailings disposal facilities such as Brakpan/Withok Tailings

Storage Facility (TSF), Cooke TSF and Regional TSF (not yet constructed, but planned).

LOCALITY

The Soweto Cluster dumps include:

❖ Site 1: The large 2L24 dump (Vlakfontein Dump) which covers an area of approximately 273.64

hectares (Ha).

❖ Site 2: Three northern dumps (2L20; 2L21 and 2A8), which cover an approximate area of 59.58 Ha,

and;

❖ Site 3: Four north easterly dumps:(2L16; 2L17; 2L18 and 2A6), which cover an approximate area

of 97.14 Ha.

These three project sites are located in ward 49 and ward 127 of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan

Municipality. The dumps are situated adjacent to the suburb of Bramfischerville and fall within both the

greater Soweto and Roodepoort areas.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Crown Gold intends to make use of its current infrastructure as well as other assets of subsidiaries held by

DRDGold Ltd for the reclamation of the Soweto Cluster.

Surface gold retreatment is a largely mechanised process with a risk profile that is significantly lower from

that of conventional mining. It is envisioned that the tailings material of the Soweto Cluster will be

reclaimed by using high-pressure water jets (slimes dams) or front-end loaders (sand dumps) and is fed as

slurry to a metallurgical processing plant for gold recovery.

Three existing authorised processing plants, each with a capacity to process 500 000 tons to 1.2 million

tons of slurry per month, will be investigated as alternatives for this project. The plants include Ergo Plant,

Cooke Plant and the yet to be constructed Central Processing Plant (CPP). Final deposition of the processed

slurry from the plants will be at the associated authorised deposition site, namely the Brakpan/Withok

TSF, the Cooke TSF or Pits, and/or the Regional TSF (which is still to be constructed).



Page | 4

Three 500 mm slurry pipelines and three 500 mm return water pipelines will be investigated as alternatives

for the project. These pipelines are linked to the plant alternatives considered above. The pipelines will

require authorisation in terms of the National Water Act (Act No. 36 of 1998) (NWA) for Section 21 water

uses. An Integrated Water Use Licence Application (IWULA) will be prepared and submitted in accordance

with the Water Use Licence Application and Appeals Regulations 2017, published in GNR 267 on 24 March

2017, and will be supported by a Technical Report and Integrated Water and Waste Management Plan

(IWWMP).

WATER SUPPLY

Potable water will be purchased from Rand Water, with a contingency for portable JoJo tanks or

connection to existing water pipeline infrastructure. In terms of process water, the water cycle operates

as a closed circuit, meaning that limited make-up water will be required for the reclamation of the Soweto

Cluster. Water required for the reclamation activities will be recovered from either of the three TSF’s

mentioned above, or from dirty water contained from existing mine shafts.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The Soweto Cluster is well serviced by existing roads and infrastructure; however the following

infrastructure is proposed:

❖ Overland slurry pipelines of 500 mm in diameter;

❖ Overland return water pipelines of 500 mm in diameter;

❖ Reclamation pump stations, which include:

o Slurry storage tank;

o Linear screen

o Water tank;

o Motor control centre; and

❖ Water infrastructure, stormwater systems and spillage handling systems;

❖ Electricity reticulation;

❖ Administration buildings, including change houses and ablution facilities;

❖ Access roads, routed from existing entry points; and

❖ Construction contractors’ yards (temporary facilities).

LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK

Prior to proceeding with the reclamation process, Crown Gold is required to obtain various licences and

an Environmental Authorisation from the relevant Competent Authorities. The required licences and the

environmental authorisation will be undertaken in accordance with the following legislation:

❖ Application for an Environmental Authorisation for listed activities triggered in Listing Notices GN

R983, GN R984 and GN R985 in terms of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations,

National Water Act, 1998 (Act No.36 of 1998) (NWA). The Department of Water and Sanitation

will be the Competent Authority to assess the IWULA for the proposed project.
