Project overview
About this development
The project proposes the development of an iron ore mine at the Moonlight project area. Turquoise Moon Trading currently holds prospecting rights over two project areas, namely the Moonlight project area near Marnitz and Lephalale (Ellisras) and the De Loskop area near Dendron both in the Limpopo Province. The Moonlight project, located on the farms Moonlight, Julietta and Gouda Fontein, has a Joint Ore Reserves Committee- (Jorc-) compliant resource of 74-million tons of iron-ore in the indicated resource category, and 225-million tons delineated in the inferred resource category. It is anticipated that Moonlight will be developed as a contract, open‐pit mine with onsite concentrate production. A slurry concentrate pipeline to a pelletising plant near railhead will be created, with return water to Moonlight (100 ‐ 220km); current preferred sites are at Lephalale and Thabazimbi. A pelletising plant to produce iron ore pellets (68.5% Fe) for international and domestic markets is planned with production at 6Mtpa direct reduction iron and blast furnace pellets.
