Even though the percentage contribution of mining in Gauteng to the provincial GDP is relatively low (2.3%) it is a substantial amount (R22.34 billion) and should be viewed against other economic activities in Gauteng, the industrial heartland of South Africa, and the historical importance of gold mining in this province.
the mining operations. The disturbance of the natural environment by the mining industry has triggered the South African government to formulate laws that dictate that miners should pay to remediate the damage they cause. Mine rehabilitation is a long term process which should ideally begin during the planning phase of a development.
the South African narrow reef mining industry has battled to control working costs in a labour-intensive industry. It is only through the application of appropriate technology that change will occur. It is the stoping method that is at the heart of the mining system. Introduce a different technology that results in a more efficient stoping ...
WWF-SA Mining Financial Provisions | page 5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ongoing concerns regarding environmental degradation in mining areas, the high number of ownerless and abandoned mines, and the incidence of acid mine drainage (AMD) have highlighted the need for improved environmental maintenance and rehabilitation in the mining sector.
Successful mine closure and rehabilitation remain seemingly intractable challenge in South Africa despite the existence of legislation that should ensure that outcome. In response to unsolicited inputs from various stakeholders and the ongoing discourse around South Africa's pathway to a just transition, WWF South Africa and Mining Dialogues ...
Abstract. It is evident that the reserves available for mining in the goldfields of South Africa are likely to be significantly reduced in 10 to 15 years. A significant percentage of the ore ...
Harmony considers by-product uranium production from three South African gold mines Harmony Gold Mining Co. could start uranium production from material at its Tshepong, Phakisa and Masimong mines in 2014, Chief Executive Officer Graham Briggs said.

2.1 Cost Categorization. In this paper, costs in open pit mines are categorized into four groups: (1) capital costs, (2) operating costs, (3) general and administrative (G&A) costs, and (4) fixed ...
Optimize mine sites through enhanced sequencing. Ramp up production from lower cost mines and prioritize lower cost projects. Attract and retain experienced mine planners capable of improving operational performance and tracking daily adherence to production volumes, mining locations and mineral content. 2. Improve budget and risk …
This paper will investigate common methodologies of estimating operating costs for mines and present examples from actual operations and why those methods were selected. It …
South Africa has always been the leader in gold production, but performance has lacked in the past fifteen years. The studies goal was to determine the benefits of using Earned Value Management (EVM) as a tool to track progress and cost on operation cost and to …
