Marsh (Pty) Ltd has been contracted to advise DMC Coal Mining (Pty) Ltd (DMC) with regard to the environmental considerations, as part of their feasibility analysis for the proposed mining of coal and torbanite in the Pixley ka Seme Region, in the Mpumalanga and Kwazulu-Natal Provinces.
Prospecting Rights have been granted for certain land portions. However, the feasibility of the reserve can only be sufficiently assessed when consideration has been given to the potential cost of mitigation of the expected environmental impact.
This assessment will be aided by an extensive Public Participation Process. Though this Environmental Screening is not a legally required process, it will enable DMC to better understand and assess any associated environmental costs, should the reserve be found to be economically feasible.
