  • ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT for the PROPOSED IKAROS SUBSTATION and ASSOCIATED 400 Kv TRANSMISSION LINE INFRASTRUCTURE, NORTH WEST PROVINCE
    02 April 2002 Dear I&AP, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPOSED IKAROS SUBSTATION AND ASSOCIATED 400 kV TRANSMISSION LINE INFRASTRUCTURE, NORTH WEST PROVINCE As a registered Interested and Affected Party (I&AP) for the proposed Ikaros Substation and associated 400 kV Transmission line infrastructure project in the North West Province, this newsletter aims to further facilitate your understanding of the proposed project and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process being followed. The first phase of the EIA process (i.e. the Environmental Scoping Study) has been completed, and detailed studies are currently being undertaken within Phase 2 of the process (i.e. the EIA). The public participation process has been on-going throughout this process and will continue until the final EIA Report is submitted to the environmental authorities for decision-making. 1. REFRESHER: BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT Eskom Transmission propose the construction of a new 400/132 kV substation (to be known as Ikaros Substation) on the eastern side of Rustenburg. This new substation will receive power from a 400 kV Transmission line looped in from the existing Matimba-Midas 400 kV line between Ellisras and Fochville. The primary purpose of the proposed project is to improve the reliability of the electrical supply to the towns of Brits, Marikana, Kroondal, Mooinooi and Rustenburg, as well as surrounding communities, farms, businesses, and the increasing number of platinum and chrome mines and smelters in the Rustenburg area. Electricity loads required by platinum and chrome mining and smelting in the Rustenburg area is expected to reach the combined firm capacities of the existing substations in the area (i.e.

  • The Impact of Platinum Production from Ug2 Ore on Ferrochrome Production in South Africa
    THE IMPACT OF PLATINUM PRODUCTION FROM UG2 ORE ON FERROCHROME PRODUCTION IN SOUTH AFRICA L.A. Cramer1, J. Basson2 and L.R. Nelson3 1 Anglo Platinum Corporation, 55 Marshall St, Johannesburg, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Pyrotek Consulting, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected] 3 HATCH, Private Bag X20, Gallo Manor, 2052, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The South African based platinum mines produce the world’s majority of platinum metal that is used in autocatalysts and jewellery. As the platinum market is forecast to grow at healthy rates into the future, the South African producers, Anglo Platinum, Impala, Lonmin and Northam are planning to expand in the next decade. Furthermore a number of smaller producers who are accessing other mineral rights are entering the buoyant market. The South African platinum mines have traditionally exploited the Merensky reef of the Bushveld Igneous Complex (BIC); however, the mining of this reef is reaching depths that require significant vertical shaft systems and costly refrigeration for access to the ore bodies at deeper levels. In the past decade all of the producers have begun to mine the less attractive UG2 reef because of its cheaper mining costs. This UG2 reef contains significant quantities of chromite with typically a chrome-to-iron (Cr/Fe) ratio of 1.35. UG2 ores can contain between 10 and 25% Cr2O3 depending upon the reef width and the selected mining method. It is relatively cheap and easy to extract a portion of the chromite from a platinum concentrator tailings stream at a grade of between 40-42% Cr2O3.
