Geotechnical• Low risk, benign geotechnical regime• Consistent regional geology (Sasol and Grootegeluk pits)• Geotech reports to understand pit orientation, confirmed

benign regime, low benches, coal strength well understood, terrace mining

• Box cut extra drilling exploration has been conducted, confirmed the available opinions

• Pre split highwalls, safe and cost effective.Operating grade control

• Pre blasting/ geological drilling with Wireline logging• 24/7 grade controllers: safe and efficient, succession

planning.Blasting

• Low pf• Simple layout• Flexibility with drilling and face preparation• FEL establish faces.

Mining design- Machinery selection

Machine selection• Truck orientated, truck productivity focussed• Loading tools flexibility, FEL establish and finish faces• Conservative benchmarks wrt hours for availability and

utilisation• 8h45 min shifts• Services between shifts• Day planned to maximise truck activities from safety

meetings, to blasting times to bus schedule.• From 1st principals, allowances for all categories• Conservative on productivity ie ROP on drills.

Coal Handling and Process Plant- salient features

• Term sheets for EPS and EPCM services agreed to with FLSmidth

• CHPP able to process 13.6 mtpa

• Raw coal material handling section design for 3000 tph

• Process plant “CPP” design for 2100 tph

• CPP consists of 3 x 700 tph identical modules

– Each module consist of a Primary Coarse (+20mm) Larcodem, Primary

Smalls (-20x1mm) Cyclone and a Secondary Cyclones section

Reflux classifier

• The 0.105mm fraction is screened at 0.045mm via Stack-sizers. The

+0.045mm fraction is added to the domestic product

• Products and discard are dewatered by a combination of dewatering

screens, centrifuges and belt filter presses.

Spontaneous combustion and AMD risks

23

Spontaneous combustion mitigation • Proactive management, active/inert ratio,

paddock dumping, compaction and monitoring.

AMD• Isotope studies indicate low

transitivity, confirmed by OFSU Geohydrology Department

• Updating hydrogeological numerical model annually

• The final void is not likely to fill and decant, due to high evaporation and low rainfall.

Boikarabelo and the Environment

Biodiversity• We will be developing a coal mine in a diverse environment• Our objective is to develop a leading coal mine which co-exists

with the surrounding natural environment• A buffer area around the mine has been purchased, these

areas which will not be disturbed will be utilised for biodiversity offset areas

• A biodiversity land management plan has been developed to assist in the management of this are and to improve the condition of the natural veld and sustain it over time.

• This plan includes the main key components• Rehabilitation and conservation goals• Identification of Biodiversity Land Management Units • Condition of the veld in each area• An Action Plan• Interactive GIS tool

• The Golden Baboon Spider is protected under provincial law and there relocation work is currently underway. 150 spiders have been moved to date

• Research into trapdoor spider diversity is also underway on site 3030

Monitoring

Our current monitoring programme includes the following• Biomonitoring of the Limpopo River (High and low flows)• Water quality monitoring (Quarterly) of 50 monitoring site surface and

groundwater• Water level monitoring (Monthly)• Water use monitoring• Dust fall out monitoring (monthly)• Noise Monitoring (Quarterly)• Ground water numerical model is updated annual
