Critical minerals in South Africa
Establishing a tailings storage facility database in Gauteng
This study suggests the establishment of a tailings storage facility database in Gauteng, South Africa. • It calls for the involvement of stakeholders (i.e. government, mine management, holders of prospecting or mining rights, mine employees, shareholders, regulators, and the affected communities), to collectively manage TSFs. • The research highlights the importance of creating a live database to compile all pertinent information and the status …
A critical review of the impact of South Africa’s mine closure policy and the winding-up process of mining companies
Background: Most mining operations are viable for a period of 30 years, depending on the mineral extracted and the available reserves. Whilst the expectation is that mines will continue uninterrupted until the planned period is complete, unscheduled closure can occur. Sudden and unplanned mine closure can result in immediate environmental and social impacts. In South Africa, the challenges of mine closure are exacerbated by unexpected sudden clos…
Dust Deposition Impacts at a Liquidated Gold Mine Village
The windy season brings numerous community complaints for gold mining companies situated in the Witwatersrand due to windblown dust from partially rehabilitated tailings storage facilities (TSFs). For communities encroaching onto TSFs, windblown dust is perceived as a health hazard and an environmental challenge. In a study conducted in 2017 by the Lawyers for Human Rights, the community of a gold mine village perceived tailings storage facility …
