Proposal Description
The project name is the Steamboat Project, located on the farm's Steamboat 306MR and Inkom 305MR, covering an area of 1,453 hectares, situated along the Mogalakwena River in the Province of Limpopo.
Steamboat Graphite will establish a Beneficiation Plant in proximity to the mine, to beneficiate and process the graphite for a broader market.
A Mining Right Application has been submitted by Cuchron for the mine development, and acceptance was received on 12 November 2020.
Two Environmental Authorisation Applications has been submitted:
• Cuchron has applied for Environmental Authorisation for the Mine Development and Associated Infrastructure
• Steamboat Graphite has applied for the Environmental Authorisation for the Beneficiation Plant and associated infrastructure.
Approval has been received from DMR to follow a joint and consolidated approach to the Environmental Impact Assessment Process, and produce combined reports for the two applications as envisaged in terms of Regulation 11(4) of the EIA regulations 2014
The projects will require the following footprints: a) Mining Open Pit and Associated infrastructure: 14ha (1% of properties); and b) Beneficiation Plant and Associated infrastructure: 13ha (1% of properties). The combined size of the two projects are 27ha in total.
