JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The Department of Water and Sanitation has granted Pan African Resources a 20-year water use licence for the Elikhulu tailings retreatment plant (TRP) project, at the Evander mine, in Mpumalanga.

An Integrated Environmental Authorisation has also been granted.

All environmental permits are now in place to allow for construction to start on the R1.7-billion Elikhulu TRP.

“The granting of the environmental permitting for Elikhulu is the final regulatory approval required for the construction of Elikhulu. Elikhulu is scheduled to produce first gold in the final quarter of the 2018 calendar year and expected to produce approximately 50 000 oz/y for the next 13 years, at an all-in sustaining cost of less than $550/oz,” CEO Cobus Loots commented on Friday.
