High-grade rare earths mine the Steenkampskraal Monazite Mine (SMM), located in the Western Cape, is moving out of care and maintenance to gear up for production, following approval by the National Nuclear Regulator (NNR) to proceed with the refurbishment of the mine’s infrastructure and reclamation of monazite material. “The approval allows the mine to proceed with the re-equipping of the existing headgear infrastructure and decline shaft. The reclamation process will involve the removal of underground stockpiled blasted and ballast material brought to the surface for placement onto the existing feed-to-plant stockpile,” SMM CEO and mine manager Graham Soden explains.
