7. Description of the assessment process to be undertaken

ITEM DESCRIPTION

Environmental attributes. Describe how the Environmental attributes associated with the development footprint will be determined.

Identification of impacts and risks. (Describe the

process that will be used to identify impacts and risks.

Consideration of the Mine Work Program and understanding of the

biophysical, cultural and socio-economic environment will be used to

identify impacts and risk. Negative and positive impact will be assessed

for the following components:

• Flora

• Fauna

• Water resource and hydrology

• Dust loading

• Noise

• Soils

• Visual and topographic alteration

• Economic effect on influenced persons in neighbourhood

• Lifestyle and cultural effect on influenced persons in

neighbourhood

Identification of impacts and risks will be more fully assessed in The

Social and Labour Plan, the Scoping Report and the EMPR. Consideration of alternatives. Describe how

alternatives, and in particular the alternatives to the proposed site layout and possible alternative methods or technology to be applied will be determined.

No planned alternative to proposed mining is envisaged. Should mine

not proceed, current agrarian land use will continue. Proposed site

layout and open pit trenching technique with concurrent rehabilitation

will minimise footprint and impact. Any alternative methodology may

have greater impact. Alternatives may be more fully assessed in

Scoping Report and EMPR Process to assess and rank impacts. Describe the process

to be undertaken to identify, assess and rank the impacts and risks each individual activity.

The identified activities on the mine include: Excavations, stockpiling,

loading, hauling and transport. Each activity (para 5) will be assessed

and ranked in terms of:

• Spatial extent- (local, site specific, regional and cumulative).

• Intensity - (high, medium and low).

• Duration - (short terms, medium term and long term to

permanent).

Ranking of activities will be provided in the Scoping Report and the

EMPR. Contribution of specialist reports Describe how specialist

reports, if required, will be taken into consideration and inform the impact identification, assessment and remediation process.

Due to the mining techniques proposed as well as well as initial impact

identification, studies of the hydrogeological, botanical and heritage

environments will be the focus of specialist studies.

• Hydrogeological assessment will provide a baseline study of the

geology, hydrology, geochemistry, potential contamination at the

proposed site and the impact of proposed mining operation on the local

aquifer systems and existing groundwater users.

• Botanical assessment will provide a more detailed baseline

assessment regarding specific plant species, their densities and

conservation value.

• Heritage assessment will focus on both the paleontological and

archaeological significance of the area and assess the cumulative

(positive and negative) impacts within and around the proposed mine

property.

Specialist’s contributions will be provided in the EMPR.

Determination of impact management objectives and outcomes. Describe how

impact management objectives will be determined for each activity to address the potential impact at source, and how the impact management outcomes will be aligned with standards.

The impact both with and without mitigation of each activity will be

rated in accordance with the following set of management objectives and

standards:

• Insignificant: Impact is not likely to be substantial and does not

require any mitigatory action.

• Very low: The impact is of little importance, but may require

limited mitigation.

• Low: As in Very Low

• Medium: The impact is of importance and therefore considered

to have a negative impact. Mitigation is required to reduce the negative

impacts to acceptable levels.

• High: The impact is of great importance. Failure to mitigate,

with the objective to reduce the impact to acceptable levels, could render

the entire development option or entire project proposal unacceptable.

Mitigation is therefore essential.

• Very high). As in High

10. CLOSURE PLAN

In the space provided under each heading below, please provide a high level description of the plan for closure and the information that will be provided in the draft EMPr accompanying draft basic assessment report or environmental impact reports going forward. Baseline environment Describe how the baseline environment will be determined with the input of interested and affected parties and due cognizance of the current land uses and or existing biophysical environment

Closure objectives Describe the closure objectives and the extent to which they will be aligned to the baseline environment

Baseline environment:

Field survey work will be undertaken by the consultant group

Umvoto Africa. The field team will be made up of a geologist,

hydrogeologist, and an environmental practitioner. Based on

field survey and desk top research, a Background Information

Document (BID), providing base line an environmental

situational analysis will be prepared. IAP’s and stakeholders will

be provided with the Background Information Document (BID)

and requested to comment and provide input which will be added

to the draft Scoping Report and draft Environmental Impact

Report (EIR). Specialist input pertaining to heritage, botany,

hydrology, noise and air emission may be required and

professionally registered practitioners will be subcontracted as

required. Input from specialist surveys will be included in the

final Scoping Report, EIR and the EMPr.

Closure objectives

To return the excavated area to its former land use, which is

livestock grazing with natural Karoo fynbos vegetation cover and

pre mined drainage.

Rehabilitation Plan Describe the scale and aerial extent of the prospecting or mining listed activities to be authorised, including the anticipated prospecting or mining area at the time of closure, and confirm that a site rehabilitation plan drawn to a suitable scale will be provided in the draft EMPr to be submitted together with the draft EIR or Basic Assessment Report as the case may be.

Extent and area of the rehabilitation area will be approximately

600 x 220 m = 14Ha. The trench is anticipated to be 7 to 9

meters in depth with benched sides and an excavated volume area

of approximately 920 000 m3. Full extent will not be opened

simultaneously but will be strip trenched and refilled over life of

mine. Rehabilitation plans to be conducted concurrently with

mining, each trench area will be refilled with stored overburden

before excavation proceeds to the next trench. Stored topsoil

will be reintroduced and the area profiled to assume pre mining

land slope. Topsoil will contain stored seed bank, which will

lead to natural re-growth and, as required, pioneer grasses may be

introduced in hard to re-vegetate areas. Topsoil may be covered

with chip mulch to aid in storing moisture and maintaining

equitable temperatures. Any mine debris and infrastructure such

as fencing and containers will be removed. Hardened surface

will be ripped and scarified. A three year follow up plan with an

environmental specialist will be scheduled as part of

rehabilitation and mine closure. The Rehabilitation plan will be
