The Orange River Life of Mines Extension Project, situated in the Orange River Mining Licence Area 42 (ML42), was initiated to sustain carat production beyond 2012 when the current Daberas operation reaches end of life. The mined resource will be scalped and screened at Sendelingsdrif, and transferred to Daberas on an aerial ropeway for processing. This will extend the life of mining operations in ML 42 till at least 2020.
