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:
Government and the private sector are working constructively to tackle acid mine drainage in the Wits basin.
South Africa’s rejected mine water plan deprived 7 000 people of jobs.
And, mine mechanisation that’s linked to local equipment retains jobs.

Although acid mine drainage in the Witwatersrand basin is the result of a legacy of environmental mismanagement of water resources by mines and lax enforcement of regulations by government, these role-players are working to constructively address this problem.

Department of Water and Sanitation senior manager Marius Keet

The rejection of a still-workable mine water and slimes dam plan at the stricken Grootvlei gold mine on Gauteng’s East Rand deprived 7 000 squatter camp dwellers of employment and set the mine on its downward trajectory.

Veteran researcher Dr RE (Robbie) Robinson

Resource development strategist Dr Paul Jourdan has called for the local manufacture of mechanised mining equipment to neutralise job losses during the switch to machines.
