Background Information Document
Environmental Authorisation and an Integrated Water Use Licence Application for the
Valley Silts Rehabilitation Project, City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality -
Gauteng Province
July 2019
Mining Right: GP 184 MR
PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT
This Background Information Document aims to provide you with important information regarding:
❖ The proposed Valley Silts Rehabilitation project;
❖ The Environmental Impact Assessment and the Public Participation Process to be undertaken in support of
the proposed project;
❖ An Integrated Water Use Licence Application process;
❖ The public review and comment period for the Draft Scoping Report;
❖ An invitation to a public meeting and;
❖ How you can register as an Interested and Affected Party (I&APs) and be kept informed about the project
developments. Please refer to the attached registration sheet.
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT
Ergo Mining (Pty) Ltd holds an existing mining right (the Crown Mining Right) in respect of the Valley Silts project
area, Reference No GP 184 MR.
The intended project activities include reclaiming gold bearing silts from the Russell Stream (otherwise referred to as
the Klipspruit), situated north of Nasrec near Booysens Reserve. This is an area referred to as Valley Silts. Currently,
the Russell Stream is highly polluted and heavily silted. By removing the silt from the Russell Stream, this should assist
with the flow dynamics of the system, which currently is not functioning well and results in the flooding of areas
within Riverlea
The gold bearing silts will be mechanically excavated from the Valley Silts project area. The removed silts will be
stockpiled and dried on dirty footprints (dumps 3L12/11/10) directly north of the project site, before being hauled to
a tailings dam footprint known as the Ezekiel dump (dump 4A18). At Ezekiel dump the dried silt will move through a
scrubber for pre-processing. The scrubber allows for de-agglomeration of the silt to expose gold residue. Water will
then be added to create a slurry which will then be pumped to the Knights Plant for beneficiation.
Beneficiation at the Knights plant includes reprocessing the slurry for gold extraction/recovery. Processed slurry
material not containing any gold residue is then pumped through existing pipelines to the licenced Brakpan/Withok
tailings storage facility (TSF) where the ultimate deposition will occur.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Reclamation method: The proposed project entails mechanically excavating gold bearing silts from an area known
as Valley Sits, which is situated north of Nasrec in the City of Johannesburg.
Please see Figure 1 overleaf for an illustration of the proposed project process.
Page | 2Ergo Mining (Pty) Ltd: Valley Silts
Background Information Document

Figure 1: Proposed reclamation process
Tonnage: The Knights Plant will have the capacity to process 80 000 – 110 000 tons of slurry a month.
Work Schedule: The anticipated life span of the project is approximately 10 years.
PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE
Existing infrastructure to be utilised at stages during the project include:
❖ The Ezekiel Dump footprint;
❖ Pre-processing infrastructure such as a scrubber and reclamation station;
❖ Main haul roads;
❖ Existing site access roads;
❖ The Knights Plant;
❖ Existing pipelines;
❖ The Brakpan/Withok TSF;
❖ Electricity reticulation for domestic purposes; and
❖ Hauling road: access roads and main roads.
The following infrastructure is not existing and will be utilised on site:
❖ Mechanical excavation equipment (Backhoes or Excavators);
❖ 6 X 30 ton Articulated Dump Trucks (ADT’s);
❖ 25 X 30 ton Dump Trucks;
❖ Temporary administration buildings, including change houses and ablution facilities; and
❖ Additional site access roads if required.
WATER SUPPLY
Potable water will be purchased from Rand Water, with a contingency for portable JoJo tanks or connection to
existing water pipeline infrastructure. No process water or additional water will be required for the mechanical
excavation of gold bearing silts from the Russell Stream.
