BusinessLive reports that Eastern Platinum (Eastplats) has received permission to restart tailings retreatment at its Crocodile River Mine in the North West.
A phased restart will begin immediately, but at a reduced capacity, with Eastplats saying it remained committed to the government's direction to prevent the risk of spread of Covid-19. The group indicated: “Eastplats has produced risk assessments and adopted appropriate procedures to maintain a safe workplace for its employees and the communities in which it operates.” The group is conducting tailings retreatment at its previously mothballed Crocodile River Mine near Brits in the North West to extract chrome, and is also extracting platinum group metals (PGM) concentrate. The director-general of the department of mineral resources and energy issued the essential services order, which allows Eastplats to transport and export the chrome concentrate produced by the project.
