Mine
Thabazimbi Mine’s product is particularly low in contaminants, and is sold exclusively to ArcelorMittal South Africa. Total iron ore production is approximately 2,6 Mtpa.
Thabazimbi’s life-of-mine has been extended to 2014 by including reserves now considered economical to mine given the change in iron ore prices over recent years. A process has started to convert resources into reserves in support of the 2014 life-of-mine plan.
Even though it only employs around 3% of the local population, Thabazimbi Mine has reached out to the community with various empowering projects, many of them geared to prepare the mine’s workers for employment after its scheduled closure in 2014.
The Itireleng Skills Development Centre ...Training is provided free to local people only. The mine invested R800 000 in machinery and equipment, and technical courses in plumbing, welding, carpentry, bricklaying and motor mechanics are offered. Since inception, the centre has trained more than 650 people.
Thabazimbi Mine ...launched the Re Tlo Lwana (We will fight) community HIV/Aids programme in 2003. The mine invested heavily in training and capacity building, and provides office space and facilities to Re Tlo Lwana and other NGOs. It also provides transport for delivering food parcels to the community and transports caregivers for awareness campaigns.
By reaching out to the community with various empowering projects, Thabazimbi Mine is preparing the mine’s workers for employment after its scheduled closure. |
