Exxaro Central Coal (Pty) Ltd plans to expand the mining activity of Pit 1 of their Dorstfontein East Mine in a North Western direction of approximately 85 Ha. This will ensure a constant Run of Mine of 3 mega tonnes per annum. In addition to this, Exxaro would like to construct a pipeline from the Dorstfontein West Mine to the Dorstfontein East Mine of approximately 11 km for the transportation of process water, which will be recycled.
The Environmental Impact Assessment, Environmental Management Plan, and Integrated Water and Waste Management Plan for the expansion of the mining of Pit 1 of the Exxaro Dorstfontein East Mine and the construction of a water pipeline has now been made available for a 30 day public commenting period. This commenting period will end on Friday 24 November 2017.
