Far West Gold Recoveries (FWGR) operation in Gauteng. FWGR is being rolled out in a phased approach. Phase 1 included early-stage production, involving upgrading the Driefontein 2 plant to process tailings from the Driefontein 5 dump at between 400 000 t and 600 000 t a month, and depositing the residue on the Driefontein 4 tailings dam, which was upgraded to a cyclone deposition dam to cater for the higher throughput. Phase 2 envisages the construction of a high-volume central processing plant capable of processing between 1.2-million and 2.4-million tonnes a month, the continued use of Driefontein 2 plant at an increased 600 000 t a month, and the development of a new regional TSF capable of receiving up to three-million tonnes a month to a capacity of about 800-million tonnes.The exact co-ordinates are currently not available however the approximate area of location is lat: -26.375072; long: 27.5922517060001.
