Kgopong MP

It is proposed that calcrete aggregate be mined at the operation. Mining at the Kgopong Mining Quarry
will be conducted by means of opencast mining methods. Topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled
separately to be used for rehabilitation purposes. The calcrete aggregate will be drilled and blasted. A
front-end loader will load the blasted material on a dumper to transport the material to a mobile crusher; a front-end loader will also be used to load the crushed material onto trucks which will transport it to the
stockpiling area from where it will be distributed to where required. The mine will operate for 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 completed.
