Tweerivier 253 JQ

The above area will be mined through opencast excavation (quarry) where the rock will be blasted where ‎necessary and removed with an excavator onto a stockpile and fed by a frond end loader into the ‎screening/crushing plant. A stockpile will be created at the screening plant and loaded on the ‎trucks for transporting to the clients. It is envisaged that some of the gravel (G5) will be loaded ‎directly onto the trucks without any processing. The gravel from the stockpile is transported at an ‎average rate of 450 tons a day to the clients or as needed. But most of the material produced will ‎be used inhouse for road maintenance or construction projects. The mineral (gravel/stone) will ‎either be load and hauled to end users or stockpiled on site to be moved as needed. The total ‎estimated reserve of gravel/stone is 630 000 m³ taken at a production rate of 4’000m³ a month, ‎which will take 80 months to work the estimated reserve of 630’000m³. The gravel/stone which is ‎‎14m thick and the relatively medium production rate of this operation make these 4 hectares to be ‎worked sustainable over a period of five years. ‎ There will be a mobile crusher/screening plant area with stockpile site and ablution facilities and roads to the excavations.
Equipment to be used includes:
• ‎1 x Frond end loader,‎
• ‎1 x Excavator.‎
• ‎2 x trucks
• Mobile crusher/screening plant ‎
