Wetland delineation, Impala Platinum No. 17 Shaft EMPR - Rustenburg, South Africa

A small wetland was identified on Impala Platinum property during the compilation of an Environmental Management Programme Report (EMPR) for a proposed No. 17 Shaft. Its presence on -site near the study area was established by the riparian zones of the drainage lines dominated by wet grasslands. Its subsequent sensitive nature was incorporated into the EMPR's surface hydrology report and possible mitigation measures provided to ensure the proposed development will not impact negatively on the ecosystem's functionality.

Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Buzwagi Mine - Barrick Gold Corporation

Golder Associates were tasked with the preparation of a RAP for the relocation of some 210 households and a further 370 households losing resources as a result of the proposed mine. The Buzwagi Gold Project is located in north western Tanzania, Shinyanga Region, and will consist of an open pit, which may be followed by underground mining, the processing of ore to recover gold and, possibly, copper. Study activities include socio-economic surveys, asset inventories, formation of institutional structures, determination of compensation rates, identification of resettlement sites and livelihood restoration programmes.

Following is a list of the diverse Golder African capabilities:

Geological modelling and geostatistical solutions
Golder Associates is retained by a range of mining clients to determine and develop appropriate approaches to resource definition. Acknowledging the geological characteristics and settings is essential for delivery of robust and reliable resource estimates as the basis for project development. Through day to day operational support, independent recoverable resource estimate, optimisation of sampling or conditional simulation for optimisation of grade control, our geo-statisticians meld geology and practical mine experience to help clients operate more profitably.

Socio-economic assessment, human development and public consultation
The Golder team of social scientists, economists and environmental analysts provides socio-economic consulting services to the private and public sectors in Africa and internationally. The competitive advantage is our commitment to render high quality and cost effective applied socio-economic research and facilitation services to meet the needs of clients on tight deadlines.

From small scale wetland delineations to large Environmental Impact Specialist Studies, our ecologists have management and technical expertise in all aspects of terrestrial and freshwater environments.

Hydrogeological, hydrology, groundwater services and water resource management
A wide range of surface water hydrology services are provided to support the mining and industrial sectors. Water resource, civil and environmental engineers are available to meet the needs of our clients in the areas of baseline surface water monitoring, water balance calculations, flood prediction, sediment pond design and hydraulic structure design.
