  • Archaeology

    SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS:

    Archaeological fieldwork has identified

    important archaeological remains dating to

    the Neolithic (4000-1000BP) and iron age

    (500BP 1400AD) periods. We are

    awaiting carbon dating to confirm the age in

    the final archaeological report.

    In accordance with international best

    practice and in compliance with IFC

    Performance Standards, Exxaro will

    conduct further studies to investigate the

    site remains, the iron age ore processing

    methods and the earlier (Neolilthic)

    evidence.
