Proposed Infrastructure in Support of the Meccano Tailings Retreatment Project

It is the intention of Sibanye-Stillwater to roll-out the Meccano Tailings Retreatment project through the Meccano Processing Plant (old Marikana plant) which includes the recovery of fine chrome and PGMs from various tailings streams and deposits from Sibanye-Stillwater sites within the region. This project forms part of the long-term strategic planning for Sibanye-Stillwater’s tailings management. To ensure that the mine is ready to accommodate the proposed retreatment and reclamation process as well as to optimise the existing processes, Sibanye-Stillwater intends to construct various pipelines for the conveyance of tailings and return water, associated booster pump station, access road, as well as the storage and handling of material that contain components listed as dangerous goods in terms of South African National Standards (SANS) 10234.
