BLUE RIDGE PLATINUM-GROUP METALS PROJECT, SOUTH AFRICA
Blue Ridge platinum-group metals (PGMs) project, Bushveld Complex, South Africa.
The project envisages a mine comprising two decline shafts, which, at full capacity, will extract 120 000 t/m, with a mill head grade of 3,3 g/t of PGMs, producing 75 000 oz/y of platinum, 35 000 oz/y of palladium, 13 000 oz/y of rhodium and 1 600 oz/y of gold, totalling 125 00oz/y over a projected life-of-mine of 18 years.
An offtake agreement has been signed with Impala Refining Services under which Impala has committed to acquire all the proposed production from the Blue Ridge mine. Value Banking finance has been signed for $107-million. Duration The mine is scheduled to reach full capacity mid-2009. Client Ridge Mining and Imbani Platinum. In 2007, Imbani Platinum acquired a 50% stake in the project.

Letlhakane uranium project, Botswana.
The proposed project invovles the construction of Botswana’s first uranium mine in Letlhakane. A scoping study conducted on the Letlhakane site has confirmed a resource of 280-million tons, at 158 parts per million uranium oxide (U3O8) for 44 500 t of contained concentrate. The study concluded that the shallow-lying ore will be extracted by conventional openpit mining equipment under a typical mining contract, where the contractor assumes responsibility for all earth works to the point at which run-of-mine production is delivered to the crushers.
The crushed ore will be staked on a purpose-designed leach pad. Alkaline heap leaching, solvent extraction and ion exchange will then recover the U3 O8. Site power will be sourced through a new 10-km power line connection to the Botswana state grid at the switch station in Serule. The water will be sourced from a borefield development into aquifers within the exploration tenement. This has yet to be verified.
The proposed project will cost an estimated $169-million. Duration The company plans to apply for a mining licence from the government of Botswana in early 2010. The plan is to bring the mine into production by 2011.

AK6 diamond project, Orapa region, Botswana.
Project description Following difficulty in securing finance for the AK6 project, Afican Diamond has developed a new mining plan for the AK6 joint venture (JV) project in Botswana, which will cut costs and bring forward production. Initially, the plan was to bring the AK6 mine on stream in 2011 at 2,7-million tons a year, scaling up to 4,2-million tons a year in 2013. Under the new plan, African Diamonds proposes a two-million-ton-a-year mine, scalable to four-million tons. In the early years, yearly output will be more than 450 000 ct. Value Initially, the mine was to be developed ina two-phase process requiring a total investment of about $260-million. Under the new plan, the project will cost less than $40-million, with operating costs of under $10t. Duration Production was scheduled to start in April 2011, but under the new plan, the construction of the mine has been brought forward to start in 2009, with production beginning by the end of 2010. Client Boteti Exploration is a JV between De Beers Prospecting Botswana, African Diamonds and Wati Ventures. De Beers holds a 71% in the company, while African Diamonds holds 28% and Wati Ventures 1%. Contact details for project information :
