The Project site consists of a site office, mining quarry areas; a reject waste area, two stock areas, a scrap yard (scrap machinery/metal), an explosives storage area, a work shed for the general servicing of plant and machinery, and staff accommodation in the form of sleeping quarters and ablution facilities. Freshwater is transported to the mine once a week, primarily for the use of human consumption. The current consumption is 5m³ per week. Water for mining activities is obtained from the old mined out area/pit or transported to the mine. Wastewater from the ablution facilities are collected in a septic tank, which is removed from site to Karibib Municipality on a weekly basis. Solid waste is separated into recyclable groups such as glass, plastic and paper. These recyclable items together with any other hazardous effluent e.g. oil, grease etc. is collected in drums and transported to Walvis Bay or Swakopmund where it is sold to recyclers and or disposed at the municipal landfill site. Electricity is supplied by Erongo RED grid via a 250kV power line. There is also a 133 kV solar plant onsite to supplement electricity requirements and an initiative to make use of renewable energy sources.
