Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.

This week:
Shaft sinking at Bakubung remains on track.
And, uncontrolled and illegal sand mining has increased ‘dramatically’ in the last five years.

Shaft-sinking activities at platinum miner Wesizwe Platinum’s Bakubung mine, in the North West, remain on track, with the main and ventilation shafts now having reached a depth of 770 m.

Bakubung GM Eddie Mohlabi

llegal sand mining is a significant part of the $200-billion global environmental crime challenge, which is often part of global syndicates that are involved in other major crimes, such as drug smuggling, illicit arms smuggling and human trafficking.

Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning environmental compliance and enforcement director Dr Eshaam Palmer
