The Future of Mining in SA From a Water Management Perspective Image: Anthony Turton Anthony Turton & Fanie Botha

Australian Approach Source: DITR, 2006 (18) This is what the Bulk Sampling was about This is where the future is actually planned © TouchStone Resources & Coal of Africa, 2011 Closure Planning is embedded in the entire Life of Mine

Bulk Sampling Box Cut The Design Philosophy is based on Zero Discharge supported by a LEGACY Program The intention is that this will contribute to a new South African standard for mining in water-constrained areas that are culturally and ecologically sensitive Carbonaceous SeamSandstone Overburden

The three combined pits will be ± 21 km long, ± 1.5 km wide and ± 200 metres deep Carbonaceous waste will be separated at source Non-carbonaceous waste will become an engineered aquifer Manifolds will be built in This converts a liability into an asset post- closure Fundamentally changing the business case for mining

The CoAL LEGACY Program L – Leveraging to sustain Livelihoods © TouchStone Resources & Coal of Africa, 2011 E – Economic Development needs Alignment G – Gains must always exceed losses at all levels A – Accountability via Sustainability Reporting C – Communication that is Honest and Transparent Y – Yearning to become Best of Breed

Closure with Pride P – People-centred approach R – Respect for all I&AP’s I – Investment leveraging for livelihood flows D – Development alignment E – Environment both on and off-site Everything we do is about people and for people both inside and outside the company. We are temporary occupants of a site Because people matter we respect them all, including those directly affected and shareholders. Respect permanent residents around the site The money we invest on-site also has implications off-site, so wherever we can we leverage what is best for our LEGACY such as sustained livelihood flows post-closure Wherever we can we will align our own investment with the developmental aspirations of the broader community to build our LEGACY Because we believe in people we also respect the environment as a life-support system for all biological life. This is part of our LEGACY arising from our Core Values © TouchStone Resources & Coal of Africa, 2011

Setting the Standards for 21 st Century Mining Engineering in Water Constrained Areas © TouchStone Resources, 2011 Thank You We welcome the opportunity to refine these ideas and return South Africa to a leading position in mining engineering within a framework of social and environmental responsibility
