Moolmans

Moolmans, currently has open cut contract mining operations in the Northern Cape and Mpumalanga provinces in South Africa and in Guinea together with a deep level shafting sinking operation in the Limpopo province of South Africa. In line with the level 5 lockdown regulations announced at the start of South Africa's initial lockdown period, all the mining contracts in the country ceased and were placed on care and maintenance. Moolmans care and maintenance practices undertaken during this time were designed to ensure the protection of its assets and to allow for a rapid recommencement of operations. Since the move to level 4 in South Africa, Moolmans has recommenced full operations at the majority of their open cut mining contracts. The underground project at Platreef is operating at 50% in line with revised regulations. As part of the remobilization process, Moolmans has implemented COVID-19 specific health and safety precautions, in line with recommended best practice, to ensure that staff are protected against possible infection. The Lefa contract in Guinea has continued to operate during this period. Despite the disruption caused by the pandemic, Moolmans continues to actively pursue a number of opportunities for new work during this period.
