JOHANNESBURG – JSE-listed Sephaku Holdings has completed a definitive feasibility study (DFS) on the proposed Nokeng fluorspar mine in South Africa’s Gauteng province.
Sephaku plans to develop the Nokeng mine, immediately south of the Vergenoeg mine, to produce on average 130 000 t/y acid grade fluorspar by the second quarter of 2012.
The proposed mine is held by Nokeng Fluorspar Mine, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sephaku Fluoride.
Sephaku said in a statement on Thursday that the mine complex would comprise an open cast mining operation, concentrator plant, tailings disposal facility (TDF) and associated infrastructure and services.
The Nokeng mine will exploit two geographically separated fluorspar deposits, namely a haematite-fluorspar deposit in the northern region of Kromdraai, immediately south of the Vergenoeg mine, which has been named the Plattekop deposit, as well as a placer outwash fan further south, which straddles the Kromdraai and Naauwpoort farm boundary. This deposit has been termed the Outwash Fan deposit.
The total life-of-mine was expected to be around 19 years, at an average run of mine (ROM) feed rate of 600 000 t/y. Sephaku noted that maximum ROM throughput and fluorspar production rate of 708 000 t/y and 180 000 t/y respectively, would be produced
