The Anglo American Platinum Rustenburg Platinum Mines (Pty) Ltd (RPM) – Amandelbult Mine Complex (AMB) has been operating since the 1970s and is situated in the Thabazimbi Magisterial District, within the Thabazimbi Local Municipality and Waterberg District Municipality and extends over some 20 km from east to west. The mine is a wholly owned subsidiary of Anglo American Platinum Limited (AAP) and is approximately 15 km north northeast of Northam and 30 km south west of Thabazimbi on the northern limb of the Platinum Belt.
The AMB intends to commence with several mining capital projects across its operations in the AMB mining right area and surface right area. In the absence of significant alternative employment opportunities in the area, the proposed capital projects will allow the AMB to continue with the mining activities for the Life of Mine (LoM), which is beyond 2060.
Prior to the construction of these projects, a Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment (S&EIA) process must be followed including the associated public participation.
SRK Consulting (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd (SRK) was appointed by AAP as the independent environmental assessment practitioner (EAP) to manage and facilitate the Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment (S&EIA) process and undertake the associated public participation process in accordance with the National Environmental Management Act (Act No. 107 of 1998) (NEMA).
