Issues and responses

Stakeholder Issue Responses (Bradly Thornton and Stephen Horak)

Stakeholder Did not provide name

Can the meeting be chaired and presented in Afrikaans? The meeting and presentation is in English, however questions can be asked in Afrikaans and translation will be provided.

Mr Marko Lucas Farm Manger Newcastle and Aurora

I manage the farms Aurora and Newcastle for an overseas owner, these farms are close to your project. There is an application for mining rights on the farm Aurora, does the Lephalale Coal and Power Project (LCPP) application form part of the Aurora application?

The farm Aurora does not form part of the application for mining rights which Lephalale Coal is undertaking, but we will investigate who is involved in this project and how it fits in.

Ms Elana Greyling Interested Party and concerned citizen

Am I to understand that this is the only meeting you will be undertaking and you refuse to have a meeting in Afrikaans.

This is the only public meeting we are undertaking in the Scoping Phase. Should there be enough requests for a separate meeting in Afrikaans or Sepedi this can be considered.

Mr Hendrick Nel Farm Manager for Mr Kosie Robertse Portion 1 Weltevreden 482 LQ and R/E Honingshade 427 LQ

According to your map we are 6 km away and our concern is that you are only looking at the impacts on the directly affected and neighbouring farms. But the fact is that the impacts will be experienced much more broadly and further away. We have free range Buffalo, and this will have a huge tourism and economic impact on us. A comprehensive cost benefit analysis should be undertaken in terms of water, ecology, economic, etc. every element should be considered, the areas between the Lephalale and Mogol rivers and between the R518 and Swartwater. Only when this has been done will the impacts be able to be determined.

This is what an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) does, it weighs up the economic impacts and costs of a project vs what is currently happening in the area. A cumulative impact assessment will be undertaken which will assess the broader impacts.

Ms Tracy-Lee Erasmus Anglo Operations (Pty) Ltd – Coal SA

The application area overlaps an exploration right area which Anglo holds and the seams which will be mined by this project will impact on the same seams which Anglo want to tap for gas. We must prevent sterilising the area, this project will have an economic impact on Anglo. This impact will need to be assessed.

Such a meeting can be arranged with the relevant people from Anglo. Noted

We propose that we have a focus group meeting with the Applicant. Let’s keep lines of communication open.

Mr Jannie Pretorius Farm owner Vught and Housing Development Comiphoria

A security /crime impact assessment needs to be undertaken as the mine will have an impact on the already bad security and crime in the area, for example poaching. The mine will draw people to the area which will worsen the security situation. This also needs to be looked at cumulatively.

Security will be addressed in the environmental impact assessment. Noted, we will consider this in the socio-economic assessment.

Mrs Vivien Ruiter Owner R/E Penton Villa 430 LQ

Will the mine fence the mining right area? If not, will the mine be using our fences?

The mining right area will not be fenced but the footprint area will be fenced. The farms in the mining right area are already fenced.

Mr Dirk Slykhuis Nieuwe Holland 206 LQ

Please could you provide some background to the Masimong Group - who are they and who are the shareholders? You also say that Kongiwe Environmental has a lot of experience, can you then give us an indication of which other mines your company has done an EIA for to show your experience and what were the outcomes of those projects.

Masimong Group is owned largely by Mike Teke who is a well respected person in the mining industry; he is also the Chairman of the Chamber of Mines. The LCPP is owned 49% by Masimong through Emerald Panther Inv 82 (Pty) Ltd and 46% by Tshimangadso, Surprise Nefolovhodwe and 5% Nefolovhodwe Family Trust. As per the slide in the presentation.

Kongiwe Environmental was established in 2016. But I ( (Bradly Thornton) personally have more than a decade of experience in the environmental mining field and have worked both in South Africa and in the continent. My CV is in the Scoping Report if you would like more detail.

Mr PT van Staden Wellington 432 LQ

In your experience do projects like this ever not get approved.

The government wants to bring in a law stating that we as white farmers will not be able to buy farms, so they will belong to the government or be sold to black farmers.

It varies, some are approved and some are not. The reasons for projects not being approved are sometimes environmental reasons and sometimes political reasons. At this stage, it is difficult to say whether the project will get approval because the studies have not been completed and we are at the start of the approval process.

Mr Oupa Modirwa Limpopo Department of Economic Development Environment and Tourism (LEDET)

On a scale of 1 – 10 what is the possibility of this project going ahead. The President has recently made a statement that the country should move away from coal as a way of addressing the energy shortage. Is there an evaluation tool that we can use where we can tick the boxes to make the mine comply with the environmental mitigation measures, because when you go to site it is a different story? Since Grootegeluk Mine has been built the wildlife in the area has decreased. We are trying our best in the Waterberg, but this project will also have an effect.

It is impossible to say at this point whether the project will go ahead or not. We cannot comment on the political environment as this falls outside of the scope of the environmental process. As part of the EIA, we do an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) which the mine would use to mitigate impacts and this plan is audited by independent consultants and checked by the DMR to ensure compliance.

Mr JC Dryer Local Geologist with 41 years’ experience in the Lephalale area

The coal products that the mine will produce need to be understood. If the coal is not burnt in the proposed power station and the coal is trucked off the property this will have other impacts such as traffic. If other products are produced this will also have an impact on the amount of water which will be needed. The Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) produced also needs to be understood particularly the discard from the Independent Power Plan (IPP). The area for the plant needs to be understood and the impacts from the plant are dependent on the type of product which will be produced. It is also not clear why the application for the IPP is separate from the mine, if this is going to be the end destination of the product it needs to be included. Ground water impacts need to be very clearly understood, there are regional geological faults where the ground water collects. If you use the water from these faults this can have an impact a long way from where you are abstracting the water. We also

The issues which are raised are very valid and will be investigated in the EIA. The reason for splitting the IPP application for environmental authorisation is that the detail design for the IPP is not yet complete. The Applicant is working closely with the Mokolo and Crocodile Water Augmentation Project 2 (MACWAP 2) project and is aware of these challenges. As a best practice, you would not stockpile coal for a later use. There are environmental issues with this approach.

know that MACWAP2 is probably still years away and if the mine is dependent on water from this scheme this will impact on timing and whether the project is viable. The MACWAP 2 pipeline is to Steenbok Pan. How are you going to get water to your project? If ESKOM will make agreements to take the power, this is another issue that will need to be sorted out.

Mr Hendrick Nel Farm Manager for Mr Kosie Robertse Portion 1 Weltevreden 482 LQ and Honingshade 427 LQ

We need clarity on how much coal will be produced and how much water will be used per ton to produce the coal.

The amount of coal at this stage is 6 million tons per year for 30 years (which could be extended to 35 years). We do not have the figures for water at hand at the moment. A water use licence will be applied for at a later stage and this will have a detailed water balance.

Mr Neels Alant Farm owner R/E Grootgenoeg 426 LQ, R/E Weltevreden 482 LQ

When will the specialist studies be completed? We are hoping that these will be completed in the next two weeks. We needed to get these done before the hunting season started.

Ms Lerato Moeoela LEDET

Under which legislation will the waste applications be made and when will the licence applications be made, and who is the competent authority?

The applications are made in terms of the National Environmental Management Waste Act (NEMWA) and integrated applications were submitted with the application for environmental authorisation. The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) is the competent authority. There are specific activities listed for the waste, which can be found in the Scoping Report.

Mr Cornell Represents Wolvefontein Farm Adjacent to the farms Pretoria and Garibaldi

What will happen if you drain all the ground water and we cannot give water to our animals? How will blasting impacts be managed, the vibrations, cracking of our houses etc.

The ground water specialist study will determine the impacts and a ground water model will be developed. For the blasting impacts these will be determined by the blasting study and management measures will be provided in the EMP.

Mr Jorrie Ellis Stutgard 420 LQ ,

What is the depth and height of the coal, how thick are the seams of coal and how much coal is there? What is the quality of the coal?

The coal is approximately 30m deep from surface and the seam thickness varies through the mining area. We will give

information on quality of the coal within the EIA phase. But, at this stage the coal is suitable for a power station.

Mr Jorrie Ellis Stutgard 420 LQ , R/E Rondeboschje 429 LQ Portion 1 Penton Villa 430 LQ Melkboschkraal 431 LQ Eerstevley 204 LQ

Can one eat coal? How are we going to feed people if the farms are taken to develop coal mines? The land will never be the same after rehabilitation. How will rehabilitation be done?

People cannot eat coal. We will look at closure scenarios. Different rehabilitation options will be looked at in the rehabilitation plan.

Mr Jannie Pretorius Farm owner Vught and Housing Development Comiphoria

The proposed project is already having an impact on me directly. How am I going to be compensated? I cannot wait for over 300 days to find out what the impacts will be.

We agree that you have already been impacted and that this will need to be discussed further.

Mr Hendrick Nel Farm Manager for Mr Kosie Robertse Portion 1 Weltevreden 482 LQ and Honingshade 427 LQ

Will the mining company carry our losses which we will experience from the mine?

There are currently impacts and these will be discussed with the applicant.

Ms Elana Greyling Interested Party and concerned citizen

Thank you that you are including a climate change study. Will you also look at cumulative impacts? The impacts of the IPP needs to be considered together with the mine, these cannot be seen in isolation. The impacts on safety and security need to be understood. There are a lot of ‘ifs’ and ‘maybes’ around the project. We know nationally there is a move away from coal or a drive to move away from coal but you would not say this is true if you look at what is happening in Lephalale. In terms of cumulative impacts the other mining allocations and IPPs which

Cumulative impacts will be considered. The issues raised are important and will be considered in the EIA. We take note of your points that we need to consider other projects, not just current but approved recently, this will be fed through to specialists. Climate change will be assessed. Secondary impacts as well, like the burning of the coal will be looked at.

have been approved or are in the application process need to be considered. The cumulative impacts on health needs to be considered and the cost of the health issues need to be considered. The MACWAP 2 project is targeted for Steenbok Pan, how are you going to get water to your project?

We are doing a health impact assessment. As far as MACWAP2 this will be investigated in terms of getting the water to the project, but at this stage this falls outside of our scope

Mr Gawie Nel MM Aartappels Manager

My concern is that you do not have an offtake for the products which will be extracted from the mine, they are linked to the IPP but it is in two different EIAs. One needs to consider the broader impacts particularly in the ecosystem further downstream towards Lephalale. The IPP will be a rubber stamp once the mining licence has been granted. You cannot separate these two.

Thank you for your comments these will be considered in the EIA .

Mr Charl Viljoen FCL Security

If the coal is moved by trucks off the property the impacts of this will need to be considered.

There will be a traffic assessment and a separate study will need to be done should trucking the coal off the property become an option.

Mr Koen Nel Neighbouring Farmer

If you were to take a vote, 99% of the farmer’s present are against the project. But you have already applied for the mining licence on the 18 April, but you have no water. Do we not have a say? Have other documents (studies) on water aspects of the area been considered.

Please put your reasoned objections in writing. Water studies in the area will be considered.

Mr Johan Beukes R/E Billiards 428 LQ

We understand that the applications are made and the decisions taken are at the top structures of government and we don’t know how this happens. Nevertheless, one needs to consider the 3.5Km blasting radius, can this corridor be expanded to lessen the impacts. If the project goes ahead and the blasting has an impact on us how are we going to be compensated? We do not want the mine to go ahead.

The application will go to DMR Limpopo, they are the competent authority and they make the decision to approve the application or not. Once the decision is made there is an opportunity to appeal the decision. The decision and appeal process will be communicated to all stakeholders. We take note of your submission that the mine should not go ahead. Please give this to us in writing.

In terms of the blasting radius this is set at 3.5km and this will be refined in the EIA to see what the appropriate safety corridor will be.

Mr Oupa Modirwa LEDET – Dingala Nature Reserve – Waterberg

The impact on tourism needs to be understood. Has the Department of Tourism been consulted? Water will be an issue.

We have sent them all the information and we await their comment. If you can assist us in getting their comments we would be grateful.

Ms Alessandra Da Naya Portion 1 Alomfraai 484 LQ

What percentage do our comments make any difference? If we object to the mine.

Your comments are vital in the process and these are given through to the authorities to assist them in their decision making.

Jacques Snyman Lephalale Development Forum (LED) Asked some questions but also provided a list of questions after the meeting

What is the estimated size of the mine? What will the product be used for Power Station or Export? What will the product mix be? Will there be a need for rail or road, and will the impacts be assessed? Is there electricity available for the mine? Does the project have an allocation from MCWAP 2. How will the water get form Steenbok Pan to your project site? Road access will be a concern as there are only single line bridges over the Mogol River. Will there be a traffic specialist report? What is the size of the IP? Where will the electricity go?

Thank you for your comments and questions. These are noted and will be considered in the EIA.

How will the project deal with waste, domestic and hazardous waste?

Another specialist area to be investigated is health. Will you repeat the HIA that was done by Resgen in Steenbok Pan area?

Mr Jorrie Ellis Stutgard 420 LQ , R/E Rondeboschje 429 LQ Portion 1 Penton Villa 430 LQ Melkboschkraal 431 LQ Eerstevley 204 LQ

Of all the farms that are in the red area, do all of these farms have minerals on them? If not, why do you do an application on those farms that doesn’t have minerals on them.

The red area is the MRA, and this reflects the prospecting right area which was granted for the farms highlighted in red. Prospecting was done and the geological models indicate that in the footprint area is where the viable coal is, it is our understanding that to the west of this area it does not look like there is a viable resource. What has been done is that the application includes these areas, so that if in the future there should be some discovery of coal, these areas are already secured. The coal possibly extends south and north but to the west it does not seem that there is feasible coal for mining.

The mining right preserves the prospecting right only in terms of coal and associated minerals, no other minerals.

Mrs Vivien Ruiter Owner R/E Penton Villa 430 LQ

The impacts from the IPP need to be considered in their totality. Please indicate the IPP on your maps for the next meeting. Could the Chamber of Mines also be part of the project?

The two proposed pits, the IPP will be situated on the eastern side of the footprint area, this is what is proposed at this stage.

The Chamber of Mines is purely a representative organisation, looking at the interest of the mining industry in South Africa. It never enters mining ventures in its own right, it is purely a liaison organisation. Mike Teke also happens to be a director of Masimong, but the two roles are completely divergent.

Mr Hendrick Nel We do not want a Gupta situation on this project or any corruption element or fraud on this project in any form. Is there

Fraud and corruption is outside of our scope, we look at the environmental and social impacts. I could not comment on

anything else other than the environmental and social work that we are doing on the project.

We take note of your point.

Mr Hendrick Nel Farm Manager for Mr Kosie Robertse Portion 1 Weltevreden 482 LQ and Honingshade 427 LQ

What is the cost of this project as compared to a renewable energy project that would produce the same amount of power over the 35 years. Would it not be better to do a renewable energy project? I am convinced that it would be more cost effective. Could you please make this part of your studies?

The project is only a 600 MW plant, very small compared to other power stations such as Medupi and Matimba. The project costs are set out in the Scoping Report. No power project is free from environmental impacts.

• The LCPP is in the A42J and A50H quaternary catchments –Limpopo Water Management Area.

• The area between the Mokolo River and Lephalala River,where the LCPP is located is described as an endoreic area(does not produce surface runoff) because the semi-aridclimatic conditions and shallow topographic gradient.

Groundwater Assessment

© 2017

The Objective:• Define the current groundwater use in the LCPP area;• Define the aquifers underlying the LCPP area, as well as current groundwater table depth, groundwater

quality, and flow characteristics;• Develop a numerical model that will be used to define groundwater related impacts and groundwater

inflow into the proposed open cast mining areas;• Define the radius of influence that may be created by mine dewatering, plus the extent of possible

contamination originating from the proposed open cast areas a mine infrastructure;• Define the acid rock drainage potential associated with the host rock material, the coal seams and the

discard material;• Assess whether pit decant will occur during the operational phase or post closure; and• Recommend a groundwater monitoring network that will effectively monitor the groundwater quality

and level changes during the operational and post-closure phases.

Groundwater Assessment

© 2017

Groundwater Baseline :• Land owner communication indicated low borehole yields for most of the area, but the farms

along the south have better yielding boreholes; includes the farm Pretoria. Relates to east-west trending faults identified in the area.

• Groundwater recharge is low and occurs towards the foothills of the Waterberg Mountains.• Waterberg formation has steep topography and shows generally poor capability to produce huge

amounts of groundwater.• Several rural communities are located along the Lephalala River; these include Ga-Seleka,

Witpoort, Mokuranyane and Ga-Shongwane. These communities reply on groundwater for water supply and are located approximately 10 km to 15 km east of the proposed mining development.

• Hydrocensus covered approx. 21 privately owned properties in and around mining footprint area.

• 47 boreholes were identified during hydrocensus:• 2 open exploration boreholes with small diameter steel casing inserted.• 3 not used.• 42 boreholes in use.

Groundwater Assessment

© 2017

Groundwater Baseline :• The farm portions located along the upper regions of the two quaternary catchments, i.e.

Pretoria and Sebright indicate deeper groundwater levels (26m to 43m bgl) compared to the other farms located deeper within the A42J catchment. Shallower groundwater levels (13m to 20 m bgl) have been identified on the farms Garibaldi, Weltevreden and Grootgenoeg Portion 1.

• Collection of 5 water samples for water quality analysis.• Area show chloride enriched groundwater; quality is variable; depending on whether the

borehole intercepted the coal horizons or not, but elevated sodium, chloride and fluoride concentrations are common.

• It seems likely that for the Project water demand will have to be imported from the MCWAP project. Groundwater could potentially supply the operation during start-up – being assessed.

• Drilling indicated good water strikes (up to 25,000L/h) in south – along east west trending fault zones.

Groundwater Assessment

© 2017

Groundwater Baseline :• During the operational phase negative impacts to the groundwater quality could

arise from the formation of Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) from expose waste rock, discard dumps and coal stockpiles. Exposing the pyrite minerals commonly found in coal seams to oxygen and water during excavation could lead to water quality deterioration.

• Pit dewatering and groundwater abstraction could potentially influence the local groundwater system and may have a negative impact on the local groundwater users.

Key Issues raised by stakeholders for specialists to consider in their studies:

Landowners (Water) • Water is scarce already• Water pollution is a concern• Reduced ground water and pollution of ground water may impact

on farming• If the mine uses the deep groundwater aquifers this may drain the

shallower aquifers which the farmers use

Question and answers

Name Question/Comment Response

Mr Steve Horak Please can we confirm that you have made claims on the following farms:

• Ptn 1 Grootgenoeg 426LQ

• Garibaldi 480 LQ

• Wellington 432 LQThe farm Rotterdam 488 LQhas been transferred to you.

Mr Pontius Mabula: This is correct.

Mr Pontius Mabula Where did Kongiwe get the land claim list from?

A request was sent to the land claims commissioner asking whether there are any land claims on the farms which fall within the mining right area.

Mr Pontius Mabula Our main concern is water. How is the project planning to get water? Will the Ga-Shongwoane community be affected since they use Boreholes as water sources?

The possibility of using some Groundwater to start up the mine is being investigated, but this will not be enough to sustain the mine long term. It is proposed that the mine gets water from Mokolo and Crocodile Water Augmentation Project 2 (MCWAP2). More investigations still need to be undertaken.

Mr Robert Mabula Have you undertaken any water research on the affected farms? Will the findings of the studies be made available to us?

A hydro census has been undertaken of the proposed mining area and surrounding farms. A determination of the depth of some of the boreholes and the quality of the water in those BHs has been made, this will be followed by pump tests. Yes, the report will be made available to the public.

Mr Pontius Mabula What steps will be taken regarding the farms that are currently being claimed and have not finalised yet which fall within the mine area?

The Applicant will be notified of the issue and they will need to address this issue.

Mr Pontius Mabula We understand that there is a clause in terms of the claimed farms: That there cannot be any development or mining on the farms unless claimants agree. If the mining rights are awarded prior to the claims being finalised and the mine buys out the farms that are currently being claimed, what will be the procedure once the claims are finalised and awarded to the claimants?

Applicant will be made aware of this clause and a legal investigation will be undertaken in terms of the claimant’s rights.

Mr Pontius Mabula We would like clarity on who the Applicant is? Please email the Mabula family the details of the company

The company Organogram was presented in the public meeting. Details are included in the presentation which will be sent to the stakeholders.

Mr Steve Horak Mr Horak went through the claimants list with the Mabula family and confirmed the family’s land claims

Mr Pontius Mabula Confirms farms and requests the claim list

I will email the correspondence received from land affairs to you.

Mr Steve Horak Are there any other questions or anything else you would like to know?

Mr Robert Mabula What was your question regarding the farm Rotterdam 488.

We understand that this farm has been transferred to you. I spoke to Piet Mabula and please will confirm with him that we have had this meeting with you.

Mr Steve Horak What are your plans for the farm (Rotterdam 488 LQ)?

Ploughing and possibly solar power

Mr Robert Mabula Once the farm Grootgenoeg 426 LQ has been transferred to the Mabula family how are we going to agree with the mining company?

I can’t answer this question but it is something which will need to be addressed legally.

Mr Pontius Mabula Please email the minutes of the meeting.

We will send you the minutes of this meeting
