Roads around Xstrata’s Lion
Jobseekers still
smelter near Steelpoort was
closed just before Platinum
Gazette went to press
yesterday, the second
Thursday in a row which saw
residents from villages in the
area voicing their concerns
at loggerheads about local employment by
the mining giant.
Last week saw a bakkie of
a security company burned
(photograph) before
protestors dispersed. They
with Xstrata Lion
also caused damage and
looted the training centre
across the R555 road from
the smelter. According to
Xstrata Alloys spokesperson
in Johannesburg, Mr
Songezo Zibi, the company
did not receive, neither was it
attempted to hand over a
memorandum of grievances
last week. This week, as
Platinum Gazette spoke to
him, Mr Zibi said the
company expected to get a
written memorandum with
grievances from the
troublemakers in the road.
Speaking by telephone,
Mr Zibi told the newspaper
yesterday “the situation is
very deurmekaar at the
moment”. He said it is not
that Xstrata did not know
about the grievances of
jobseekers in the area, but
that expectations exists that
could not immediately be
fulfilled. He said the
protesters blocking the road
had a big issue with the lack
of job opportunities for people
with qualifications less than
matric. He also pointed out
that even when job seekers
do have matric, they should
preferably have passed
certain subjects to be able to
be trained in a primarily high

skilled environment.
At the moment, although
the company try to
accomodate those jobseekers
without matric, opportunities
are very limited and even if this
situation can be improved,
employment may only take
place over a long period as
opprtunities arise.
Mr Zibi said people should
also understand that although
the Lion 11 Project will create
a large number of jobs, all
these employment
opportunities will not be
available immediately and at
the same time. Employment
opportunities will be created as
the project develop. Mr Zibi
said traditional leaders voiced
their concerns about local
employment with the opening
of Magareng Mine.
The issue was discussed at
that stage and the company
also contacted local
government leaders and the
Office of Limpopo Premier,
Cassel Mathale, so that the
issue can be discussed
between all stakeholders. A
meeting in this regard will be
held soon.
Mr Zibi said there is also an
expectation among the
protesters that people living
the closests to the project must
be given priority when
vancancies are filled. “Like in
people living three kilometres
from the project have more
right to be employed than
people living seven kilometres
from the project. It does not
work like that”, he said, saying
the company is looking at
employment in the whole
municipality as local
employment, while other
factors such as skills levels
also play a very important role.

Nkwe on the roll again
Platinum group metals (PGMs) exploration
and development company Nkwe Platinum,
resumed share trading on the Australian stock
exchange last week after it regained its 64%
interest rights to the farm Eerstegeluk near
Burgersfort.
This comes after the Department of Mineral
Resources (DMR) awarded the rights to Eerste
Geluk to the Roka Phasa community, with
Nkwe major shareholder Genorah Resources
as the economic partner. Roka Phasa claimed
to hold the rightful title to the farm, but last
year rival community Bengwenyama also
claimed ownership and brought an application
against Genorah over a lack of consultation
with the community. The South African
Constitutional Court then stripped Genorah of
prospecting rights on Eerstegeluk and
Nooitverwacht, which form part of the
company’s Tubatse project.
Nkwe said of the two farms set aside in
the original ruling, Eerstegeluk was the primary
property, having the most accessible PGMs
resources at the shallowest depth, and around
80% of the Joint Ore Reserves Committee-
compliant resources.
“Nkwe is pleased that the DMR decision
has been made and that all parties concerned
can now move forward with certainty,” said MD
Maredi Mphahlele.
He added that the formal awarding of the
decision in respect to the Nooitverwacht farm
was still outstanding, however, the company
expected an outcome which would provide a

joint ownership scenario, with Nkwe’s partners
having a 50% interest.
The Nooitverwacht farm has not been
factored into any of Nkwe’s current or future
mine development plans, and so far only six
intersected holes have been drilled on the farm
for an initial general geological understanding.
Mphahlele said the current delineated
resources on the Nooitverwacht farm would
represent only 7% of the total resource held
by Nkwe prior to the Constitutional Court’s
decision. He added that Nkwe was currently
evaluating how the Nooitverwacth farm would
integrate into future development plans. Nkwe
voluntary suspended its share trading in
December, after the Constitutional Court
ruling.
Mphahlele further commented: “Probably
the most disappointing aspect of what has
occurred has been the many misconceptions
that have been circulated regarding what
happened and the parties involved -
I would like to point out a few salient points
now that Nkwe has effectively regained all its
material interests in the Tubatse Project: -
given tribal history and shifting allegiances
there will always be issues regarding who does
represent relevant communities but the key
point that we have always made is that we
actually have in the past and will continue to
moving forward work losely and constructively
with representative bodies to ensure all our
responsibilities in empowering and assisting
local communities are positively discharged;

- the key individuals behind the applicants
in the case had been previously involved in
the funding and running of prior ‘community’
land claims involving mineral rich farms and
lawyers acting on a ‘success fee’ basis with
an interest in the project moving forward
should the case be successful. This was not
an action driven by desperate and down
trodden communities at the mercy of Nkwe’s
unconscionable actions as certain sections of
the media would try and purport; - at the end
of the day none of this would have happened
if their wasn’t a general view that the farms
have significant value through the exploration
and development of the underlying PGM
mineralisation - that is Nkwe’s job from here -
realise the inherent value for its shareholders.
Nkwe also updated shareholders about the
Garatau project saying:
“As previously announced, the BFS in
respect to the Garatau Project is completed
from a key inputs perspective and it has
highlighted all relevant cost inputs, the
extremely robust nature of the geology, it
confirmed that the metallurgy is not
complicated by any intrusive factors and that
processing will be consistent with existing
operations on the Eastern Bushveldt complex.
It has also confirmed that all necessary
infrastructure is either available or will be made
available to support a project of this magnitude.
Putting the foregoing aside as being
satisfactory Nkwe focused on optimising the
mining method, project timeline and cash flow

timing. The Board felt that an innovative
approach was worth investigating to bring the
project to production in the shortest possible
time frame.
To this end we engaged additional
consultants to apply their expert knowledge
of platinum mining and the construction and
operation of PGM plants.
Proposals have been put forward which
include rapid access to the Merensky Reef via
decline and short shaft access. Revised mining
methods designed to accelerate underground
development and a staged development of the
UG2 based on rapid main shaft development.
Early development of a smaller scale 200,000
– 250,000 oz per annum plant followed by
larger scale plant development.
Based on the recent re-award of the Eerste
Geluk farm by the DMR, the development of a
smaller initial plant is obviously enhanced by
the potential for additional ore from that farm
together with earlier stage ore from the
Garatau decline access being available.
The current optimisation process provides
for a substantial upgrade of overall project
value and an enhanced potential for
shareholder returns.
The Company anticipates the final
optimised project path forward being
completed by May 2011 (given the potential
for the Tubatse Project to now form part of the
initial development) with a strategic partner
and mine development decision soon
thereafter”.

photographs.
The Burgersfort Photography Club are inviting all these
individuals to come and join them for their monthly
meetings and become members.
“The idea is to learn from each other,” the Club’s
committee said. Often people are unsure about the
technical things their camera can do and many know
nothing about the basics such as an F-stop and what this
means. No camera is too small and even if you do not
own a camera but have an interest in photography, you

are still welcome. Young and old are invited to open their
eyes to the beauty captured through the lens.
They have an annual membership fee of R250 per person
and contributions towards snacks at the meetings are also
requested. Photograph: Daryll Geddes
The group gathers once a month on a Monday. At the
monthly meetings they try to learn something about
subjects such as lighting, composition etc. They also enter
photographs on a subject decided the previous month (this
is not compulsory). Last month their subject was black and
white. This month it is The Human Form.
The winning photographs will be published in Platinum
Gazette in the future. Last month’s winner was
Ms Santie Carelse who took the photograhs of
the tree, zebra and piano. Ms Daryll Geddes
came fourth and fifth with her rose and trees in
the mist photographs.
The next meeting is this coming Monday
evening (28 March) at 18:30 at the home of one
of the committee members in Burgersfort. To

important that one should attend. They
must look at roads and water. It does not
make sense if you complain but don’t
