The mining of the dump in these circumstances would require that a new right is granted in terms of the MPRDA. The right will not automatically be granted to the creator of the dump. If a mine dump is held to be movable, and thus the property of the mining right holder that created it, the granting of a mining right in such a dump means …

In terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act No. 28 of 2002 (" the MPRDA ") which came into effect on 1 May 2004 'mine dumps' are referred to as a residue stockpile, defined as " any debris, discard, tailing, slimes, screening, slurry, waste rock, foundry sand, beneficiation plant waste, ash or any other product derived from ...
The original semi-arid grasslands ecology is now converted to an urban forest, and sediment from mining waste has blocked natural waterways, unexpectedly creating wetlands with rich habitat. Massive mine dumps, many upwards of 30 meters tall, have become landmarks of Johannesburg — or eGoli, "the place of gold," in Zulu. In the …

The effects on respiratory health in populations living close to silica-rich gold mine dumps are unknown. This pilot study related respiratory health and exposure to mine dump dust using two measures of exposure: exposure group, based on distance lived from the mine dump—high (n = 93) (home <500 m from a mine dump), moderate (n = 133) …
That's because the mounds are made up of mine waste from the richest gold deposit ever discovered, and Chingwaru has just calculated that approximately 420 tonnes of "invisible gold" – with a value of $24bn – is buried in the Witwatersrand's mine dumps. The massive discovery came from research for his master's thesis — that was ...
According to the Fleurhof mine dump rehabilitation plan, gold yields of between 0.6 g/t and 1.1 g/t are envisaged, which will be upgraded by Ncamiso Mining through 20 mm screening to between 1.8 g/t and 2.5 g/t. The fines are then taken to a superlab to determine the potential gold grade yield for each area.
