Project overview
About this development
Development of a prospecting shaft for bulk sampling purposes at its Akanani Mine prospecting area north of Mokopane, Limpopo Province. The prospecting shaft is required to determine the metallurgical properties of the Plat reef at the Akanani Project area. To achieve this, Lonmin proposes to sink a single shaft over a three year period to collect a bulk sample of 3000 tonnes. The mined ore will be transported by 35 ton trucks to Mintek in Johannesburg for test work. The Akanani project is located approximately 25km north of the town of Mokopane in the Limpopo Province. Lonmin's approved prospecting area consists of 2 farms, namely Zwartfontein 814 LR and Moordkopje 813 LR, which together cover an area of about 4000 hectares adjacent to Anglo Platinum's Potgietersrust Platinum Mine (PPRust), an open pit operation. The prospecting shaft site will be approximately 2ha in extent. Project value: C$1.7 million.
