Background
Kusasalethu is a mature, deep-level mine 90km southwest of Johannesburg and 14km south of Carletonville, near the Gauteng-North West provincial border. The mine is situated on the West Wits Line, west of Mponeng mine. Harmony has owned the operation since they acquired it in 2001. The name means “our future” in Zulu.
The commodity mined is gold and conventional methods are employed using a sequential grid mining pattern, which is used to direct seismic stresses away from the areas currently being mined. Ore mined is processed on site at the Kusasalethu plant with milling, leaching, carbon-in-pulp concentration and electrowinning but smelting is carried out at Rand Refinery.
Mine infrastructure comprises twin vertical and twin sub-vertical shaft systems. Mining depths reach 3 388m below surface where the VCR is the primary orebody exploited. Given the depth of mining, major engineering infrastructure required includes refrigeration and cooling installations on surface and underground.

Exhibitors we would like to see:
Those working in the latest technology for gold mining, automation, water management, net tensioners in stope and latest PPE technology. Seismic activity has resulted in mine workers being trapped underground in the past so emergency refuge chambers would be useful as well as dewatering equipment for the occasional backfill experienced by the mine.
