Mine Waste Solutions extension project, South Africa
Name of the Project
Mine Waste Solutions extension project.
Location
Stilfontein/Orkney area, in the North West, in South Africa.
Project Owner/s
Harmony Gold Mining Company.
Project Description
Mine Waste Solutions was acquired by Harmony Gold in October 2020 and is a gold reclamation operation that treats 2.2-million tonnes a month from historical tailings facilities through the Mine Waste Solution plant.
Residue is deposited on the existing Kareerand tailings storage facility.
However, this facility is running out of tailings deposition capacity.
The project involves extending the existing deposition site to allow for the full development of Harmony’s tailings resource in the region.
This project is expected to produce about 100 000 oz/y of gold and extend the operation’s life-of-mine by 16 years.
