Mineral Resources consist of sand dumps, slimes dams and silted ‘vlei’ areas and dams. Before dumps are included as Mineral Resources, they are evaluated by drilling and an engineering study is undertaken to determine infrastructure needs.

The Driefontein 5 TSF Mineral Resource Estimate model estimates a relatively flat footwall topography. The TSF is now almost completely depleted and it has become apparent that, in reality the footwall is not flat, but undulatory. This has resulted in a difference between the modeled quantity and the true quantity of the Driefontein 5 TSF. The size of this difference still needs to be calculated, but after engaging with FWGR, is estimated to be in the order of 1Mt. This would equate to a 3.5% difference compared to the original Driefontein 5 TSF Mineral Resource estimate and a 0.5% difference to the total FWGR Mineral Resource estimate. The Driefontein 5 Mineral Resource estimate will be updated when these quantities have been further reconciled.
