Nkunzana BAR+EMPR KZN 30/5/1/1/2/10722 PR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WRE Base Metals (Pty) Ltd (hereafter referred to as WRE Base Metals, the Applicant) submitted an application for a Prospecting Right and an Environmental Authorisation in order to prospect for the following commodities: Gold Nickel Silver Lead Coal Platinum Group Metals Cobalt Rare Earths Copper Sulphur Diamond (Alluvial) Uranium Iron Tungsten Manganese Zinc Molybdenum The application for Prospecting Right was accepted by the Department of Mineral Resources – KwaZulu-Natal Regional Office on the 20th December 2017. In addition, receipt of the application for an Environmental Authorisation was acknowledged by the Department on the 22 nd November 2017. The proposed project will be known as the Nkunzana Prospecting Right and it will aim to explore and quantify potential mineral resources. In order to undertake prospecting activities, WRE Base Metals require a Prospecting Right in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 Act 28 of 2002). WRE Base Metals is also required to obtain an Environmental Authorisation in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act 107 of 1998) which involves the submission of a Basic Assessment Report, an Environmental Management Programme as well as undertaking a Public Participation Process. Shango Solutions have been appointed by WRE Base Metals as the Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) to assist in complying with these requirements Purpose of this Document This document has been compiled in support of the Prospecting Right and Environmental Authorisation applications and aims to assess any impacts associated with prospecting. It is important that Interested and Affected Parties are provided with an opportunity to review and comment on the assessment report, thereby contributing to the environmental impact assessment process and assisting in identifying any additional risks or impacts that may be experienced. As such, a public consultation is being undertaken for this application and the results have been documented in this report. The report will be made available to Interested and Affected Parties for review and comment for a period of 30 days before it is finalised to include the results of the consultation and submitted to the Competent Authority for their decision-making . Project Location The area of interest occupies a total of approximately 2 069.06 hectares (ha) and is located approximately 92 kilometres (km) west of Richards Bay, in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa. The proposed prospecting area is located in the Magisterial District of Nkandla and falls under the Nkandla Local Municipality, within the King Cetshwayo District Municipality. Two (2) farm portions extend over the application area. Project Activities Invasive and non-invasive prospecting activities will be undertaken as part of the proposed Prospecting Work Programme (PWP). The Prospecting Work Programme will be based on a phased approach over approximately i Nkunzana BAR+EMPR KZN 30/5/1/1/2/10722 PR five (5) years. Continuation of the prospecting activities will be dependent on the successful completion of tasks constituting an orderly geological investigation. The first two years of the proposed five year prospecting programme will be limited to non-invasive activities which include desktop studies, data digitisation and QA/QC, field visits and mapping as well as preliminary target generation and target prospectivity ranking. Years 3 and 4 will involve a combination of non-invasive activities (surface electromagnetic geophysical surveys, geological modeling and target prospectivity ranking) and invasive activities (stream sediment sampling, detailed grid sampling, excavation of six trenches up to 3 metres (m) deep and underground sampling of the historical Nkunzana Mine). During year 5, drilling of 6 diamond core or percussion drillholes to a depth of 150 m will take place. Upon completion of the drilling programme, the recovered core will be logged and sampled. The drillhole information will be captured into a database and integrated into the final geological model. Utilising the finalised geological model, together with the historical assay results and any results from re-sampling, a resource estimate will be performed. Prospecting Targets The main targets for prospecting are the metamorphosed rocks of the Nkomo and Tugela nappes of the Tugela terrane as well as the Natal Thrust Belt. Gold in the application area is hosted in shear zones and mineralisation occurs in the sericite and chlorite schists of the Mfongosi Group of the Natal Thrust Belt. Environmental Specialist Studies A comprehensive assessment was undertaken in support of the Nkunzana Prospecting Right application. Three specialist studies were undertaken, namely: Heritage and Palaeontology Assessment. Ecological (fauna and flora) Assessment. Wetland Assessment. Based on the specialist assessments, it was determined that a number of sensitive features exist within the application area. Summary of Key Findings Ecological and Wetland Assessment The project area is in a fairly pristine condition and has been minimally altered both historically and at present. Current impacts include secondary roads, the proximity of rural developments and associated human activity, including: dumping of rubble, livestock, litter and infringement by people and livestock into natural areas via footprints and roads. However, despite these impacts, the remaining natural habitats, which cover the majority of the project area, exhibit healthy ecological functionality, integrity and an appropriate balance between various herbaceous plants and associated fauna. This diversity is indicative of the importance of these systems to collectively provide refugia, food and corridors for dispersal in and through the surrounding area. The Ecology and Wetland Assessment was conducted on a desktop level and a field survey was undertaken to increase the confidence in the information obtained from desktop studies. Listed below are the key findings: The proposed prospecting area is situated entirely within an identified CBA Irreplaceable and borders the Nkandla Forest Reserve Complex (a vulnerable forest type). Field surveys confirmed the integrity of this CBA, as well as the presence of multiple threatened species. ii Nkunzana BAR+EMPR KZN 30/5/1/1/2/10722 PR The prospecting right area falls within the 5 km buffer which is recommended around protected areas. According to the NBA (2011) terrestrial ecosystem threat status, the project area covers two ecosystems, which are listed as Vulnerable (VU) and Least Threatened (LT), the former making up the majority of the project area. The project area is situated across several different vegetation types: Moist Coast Hinterland Grassland (Gs20) (which constitutes the majority of the area) listed as Vulnerable, Eastern Valley Bushveld (SVs 6), Scarp Forest (FOz 5) and

Good job and thanks! She welcomed around fifteen visitors; every seat was filled and some hearty members gave up their seats for the floor to accommodate the standing-room-only crowd (again!). First-time visitors and our generous snack providers were thanked with a free plant. We were reminded that the October meeting ONLY will be held on the third Sunday, October 20, due to a decision that is out of our control. Our speaker in October will be Robin Stockwell, owner of The Growing Grounds in Castroville (which was closed when I tried to go there this past Sunday, the 25th. Ach!). We will also be hosting the executive board of the California Garden Clubs in October. Announcements also included a reminder that yearly dues are due now, so please take care of that if you haven’t done so already. Jim Harlow, tour organizer extraordinaire, announced that he rescued a small succulent – Portulaca molokiniensis – that was left behind on the Ojai trip. Please claim it at the September meeting.

  • Succulent of the Month April 2003 - Gasteria
    San Gabriel Valley Cactus and Succulent Society Succulent of the Month April 2003 - Gasteria Gasteria are a popular and easily grown genus of plants that has been collected and kept as house plants since the 17th century. They are readily distinguished from Aloe and Haworthia (both very close relatives) by the shape of their flowers. Gasteria flowers are carried on a long scape (leafless flower stalk). They generally hang down as they open, and have a swollen (gasteriform) portion at the base of the flower. The word Gasteria comes from the Greek “gaster” meaning stomach or belly. Gasteria ‘Cape Velvet’ entered in the 2001 Intercity Show by T & J Glavich Gasteria cultivation is easy. They are mostly winter and spring growers, but exhibit some growth all year except for the hottest part of the summer. They are tolerant of almost any growing Gasteria obtusifolia entered in the 2001 Intercity Show by Jim Hanna mix, although they do best with high organic content mixes, similar to their natural growing Gasteria vary in size from about an inch to conditions. They prefer partial shade, several feet in diameter. Almost all plants start particularly in the afternoon; however the best out with the leaves in two rows (distichous), color is obtained by giving them as much light and although most eventually begin to spiral, either sun, short of sunburn, as possible. remaining in a distichous spiral, or changing into a rosette form. Gasteria are very variable in Gasteria are generally free from most pests. The appearance. They have definite juvenile and adult one difficulty is ‘black spot’, a fungus that forms, have local variations in appearance, and attacks many Gasteria.

In this study, we assessed the species-level discriminatory power of the standard (rbcLa + matK) and complementary barcodes ITS1 and trnH-psbA within the subfamily Alooideae (Asphodelaceae), a large, recent plant radiation whose species are important in horticulture yet are threatened. Alooideae has its centre of endemism in southern Africa with some outlier species occurring elsewhere in Africa and Madagascar. We sampled 360 specimens representing 235 species within all 11 genera of the subfamily. Applying three distance-based methods, all markers perform poorly for our combined dataset with the highest proportion of correct species-level specimen identifications of 30% found for ITS1.

  • Gasteria (Břichatka)
    Gasteria (Břichatka) čeleď: Asphodelaceae Pochází z jižní Afriky. Je podobný i příbuzný druhu Aloe a Haworthia . Rodové jméno je odvozené řeckého slova gaster = břicho. Má dužnaté tuhé listy. V mládí zpravidla vyrůstají párovitě vstřícně a v dospělosti se roztáčejí do spirály. Podle jejich vzhledu se jim říká Čertův jazyk. Kvete drobnými květy na stonku. Velou sbírku naleznete v Liberecké botanické zahradě. Existuje vnitrodruhový taxon: - 'Little Warty' Kupodivu vysloveně nepotřebují nezbytně plné slunce, ale dokáží prosperovat i v polostínu až stíhnu. Dobře snáší i suchý vzduch. Substrát postačí dobře propustný, ideálně štěrkovitý nebo písčitý opatřený dobrou drenáží. Zálivka musí být malá, jinak hrozí uhnívání. Nejnižší teplota kterou jsou schopné vydržet je 5 - 8°C. Množí se odnožemi nebo vrcholovými řízky. Gasteria acinacifolia synonyma: Aloe acinacifolia, Aloe acinacifolia var. minor, Aloe candicans, Aloe ensifolia, Aloe nitens , Aloe pluripunctata, Aloe venusta, G. acinacifolia var. ensifolia, G. acinacifolia var. nitens, G. acinacifolia var. pluripunctata, G. acinacifolia var. venusta, G. candicans, G. ensifolia, G. fuscopunctata, G. huttoniae, G. inexpectata, G. linita, G. lutzii, G. nitens, G. pluripunctata, G. venusta oblasti: Malta, Střední středozemí, Středozemí Gasteria armstrongii (Břichatka Armstrongova) oblasti: Afrika, J Afrika, Jihoafrická Republika (JAR), Kapsko, Východní Kapsko Pochází z JAR. V přírodě je zpravidla velmi tvrdá a z části schovaná pod částečkami z okolního substrátu. Vyhovuje mu suchý dobře propustný substrát na plném slunci. Gasteria batesiana oblasti: Afrika, J Afrika, Jihoafrická Republika (JAR) Pochází z Jihoafrické Republiky. Průměr růžice dosahuje rozmezí 8 - 30cm. Povrch je pokrytý červenými nebo bílými bradavičkami. Kvete červenozelenými květy na 30 - 45cm stonku.
