Background

Beeshoek Mine is situated approximately 65 km south of the Khumani Mine near the town of Postmasburg in the Northern Cape, 200 km west of Kimberley. The mine forms part of Assmang’s iron ore division, in addition to the nearby Khumani Mine. From 1999, Assmang began expanding the operations with new opencast pits at Beeshoek South. Combined, the operations amount to five opencast pits with supporting infrastructure. Two of these, the East pit and Village pit, are currently undergoing expansion in order to extend the life of mine of the operation.

Kolomela Mine, also near Postmasburg, is an opencast iron ore mine operated by Anglo American plc as part of its Kumba Iron operations through Sishen Iron Ore Company. The name Kolomela means ‘to dig deeper’. The operation uses traditional drilling, blasting, shovel and truck/haul methods with drilling and blasting taking place as well. Seven pits comprise the opencast complex and extracted ore is processed at the nearby plant after going through primary, secondary and tertiary crushing.

As of 2020, Kumba Iron Ore announced the expansion of Kolomela Mine with its Kapstevel South Project, a R7-billion investment which involves the construction of a new pit and associated infrastructure. The first ore from this new pit is expected in 2024.

Beeshoek represents one of the largest iron ore reserves in South Africa and in the world, having estimated reserves of 117.5 million tonnes of ore grading 63.7% iron metal.
