Case Decision - 193040

Final Comment
The SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology and Meteorites (APM) Unit cannot endorse this proposed development as no assessment of heritage resources that complies with section 38(3) of the NHRA has been submitted as part of the EA application.
As per section 38(8) of the NHRA, SAHRA therefore advises the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) and the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) to reject the EA Application and Waste Management License to re-process the slimes dams at the Alexkor Mine near Alexander Bay, Northern Cape (NCS 30/5/1/3/2/(10646) MEM).
This comment must be forwarded directly to the competent authorities and proof of the submission and receipt thereof must be provided to SAHRA.
