ERM Ref: 0354781

OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT

Kangra Coal (Pty) Ltd proposes to expand their current mining operations facility at the Savmore Colliery,

near Piet Retief in Mpumalanga. Kangra Coal intends to extend the current operations under the Consoli-

dated EMPr (MP 30/5/1/2/2/133MR ). The new activities applied for as part of this Section 102 Amend-

ment application are (these activities have been subject to previous public consultation activities in

2015/2016 and are now further being applied for as part of the S102 Amendment and EMPr Consolida-

tion):

• The Central Discard Dump at Maquasa East operations;

• The Maquasa West Extension (MWE) underground workings;

• The new Adit 5 to access the MWE underground workings; and

• An overland conveyor and service road connecting Adit 5 with the existing Maquasa West operational

area.

Existing facilities at Maquasa West and Maquasa East will be utilised for coal processing. The development

and operation of this infrastructure requires authorisation by the Mpumalanga Department of Mineral Re-

sources (DMR) in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (Act No. 28 of 2002), as

amended and the National Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of 1998), as amended, and associated

Regulations (2014).

Environmental Resources Management Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd (ERM) has been appointed as the Inde-

pendent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) to undertake these processes in terms of the regula-

tions. You are hereby informed of the availability of the Draft Scoping Report for your review and com-

ment. Please note that the commenting period commences on 9 September 2016 and concludes on 9 Octo-
