In 2016, 36 villages formed part of the programme. Forty two boreholes were constructed for abstraction purposes at a combined yield of up to 53.55 L/s (4,626 m3/day).

In 2015, SRK was appointed by a major mining company to conduct stakeholder mapping of three of its mines in South Africa. The purpose of the assignment was to identify key external and internal stakeholders, ascertain their perceptions and behaviours, and identify measures to strengthen relationships - with the findings informing responsive stakeholder engagement plans.

  • Current Developments in Uk Mining Projects
    CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN UK MINING PROJECTS C P Broadbent1) and C A Blackmore1) 1)Wardell Armstrong International Ltd, 46 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1JE, UK 1 Introduction In October 2017 The Mining Technology Division (MTD) of the IOM3 organised a highly successful conference “Current Developments in the UK Mining Industry”. The aims and objectives of the conference was to define the then current state of the UK Mining Industry1. This conference was a great success and, with the exception of a presentation on Wolf Minerals Ltd, Hemerdon Project, gave the definitive status of most major UK Mining Projects. This paper provides an update of many of these projects. Although the last UK deep pit coal mine, Kellingley Colliery, North Yorkshire closed in December 20152 and was capped off in March 2016. The UK still has large reserves of available fossil fuels and many types of industrial minerals and metals are found in the diverse geology of the UK. Presently there are a number of major initiatives active making 2018, despite events at Hemerdon, one of the most active years in recent times for “new” UK mining ventures.

  • Woodsmith Project Liaison Group Forum Project Update: October 2020
    WOODSMITH PROJECT LIAISON GROUP FORUM PROJECT UPDATE: OCTOBER 2020 1. Construction update At Woodsmith Mine the focus remains on preparing the three shafts – service shaft, production shaft and minerals transport system (MTS) shaft – for the main shaft sinking. The Shaft Boring Roadheader (SBR) has been successfully installed in the service shaft at the depth of 120m ready to start shaft sinking by the end of the year. It will be boring down to a depth of 1,600m. The production foreshaft is complete and the excavation of the inner shaft has almost reached 120m. The SBR for this shaft is currently being assembled on site. For the MTS shaft, work is ongoing to fit-out and commission the Galloway, hoist and winch systems before the main shaft sinking starts by the end of the year. A drill and blast method will be used to sink this shaft and neighbours will soon be provided with information about the blasting notification procedure. With respect to the tunnel, the tunnel boring machine (TBM) - named Stella Rose by local school children - has made great progress and has now reached 9.5km on its way to Lockwood Beck. As the advance rate of the TBM has been greater than we anticipated, we are not planning to launch a second TBM from Lockwood and will continue with Stella Rose. This means that whilst we still need a shaft for ventilation at Lockwood Beck, it is now required to be 3.2m in diameter, which is smaller than initially proposed. The method that will be used to sink the shaft is called ‘blind boring’ and replaces the ‘drill and blast’ method previously proposed.

The company unveiled plans in April to raise £3bn to fund the next stage of its North Yorkshire mine in the form of new shares and debt. Work is continuing on Woodsmith mine, south of Whitby, from where polyhalite will be transported on an underground conveyor to Teesside. Sirius currently employs 800 people and says it will create 1,000 long-term jobs at peak production. The company provided an update to investors on Tuesday on its placing and open share offer, which it said was oversubscribed. A total of £327m was raised after the issue of 218 million shares at 15p each.
