Mining Right application for Renaissance Diamonds CC on Sunnyside and Bermolli to mine for Diamonds, Manganese and Iron Ore

Mining in the opencast sections will be carried out by Renaissance Diamonds utilizing a combination of own and rental plant and equipment. Renaissance Diamonds make use of Excavators to open the ore body after being drilled by rigs to identify the orebody. Large Excavators including Excavators fitted with pneumatic rock-hammers will be used to excavate the iron ore to a size suitable for feeding into crushing plants. Dumper trucks will be used to haul the ore to a crushing and screening plant where it will be crushed, screened and sorted to size. Drilling and blasting may be used by Renaissance Diamonds and even underground mining should the reserve found at greater depths. Amendments would be made in terms of Section 102 of the MPRDA should changes in mining methods and production be required.
