West Wits Mining Limited (“West Wits” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed an Agreement to enable the commencement of the Sol Plaatjies Project (Sol Plaatjies) within the Soweto Cluster prospecting right area, Johannesburg South Africa. Sol Plaatjies has been conceived and advanced in consultation with relevant stakeholders including the landowner and the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR).

The objective of Sol Plaatjies is to remove and process a section of some 1,500 metres of Kimberly Reef outcrop adjacent to the village of Sol Plaatjies on the northern fringe of Soweto. The presence of the reef has attracted activity from illegal miners known locally as zama zama’s, which in turn has led to significant social challenges in the area.

Michael Quinert, Chairman commented, “This agreement demonstrates the growing spirit of co-operation between the Company, local landowners and the government agencies to address local issues whilst achieving their respective operational goals. The Company is confident Sol Plaatjies will provide a pilot project model for several further similar opportunities across the Soweto Cluster area where Witwatersrand reef are still in situ.”

The extraction of the reef outcrop is planned to be undertaken through an open cut operation to remove ore to a depth of circa 30 metres for transport to a processing plant in the area. Following extraction of reef the land will be progressively rehabilitated to allow the landowner to commence development of an affordable housing project which will incorporate open parkland over the mined out areas.

All stakeholders including the DMR and landowner consider removal of the Kimberly Reef outcrop as an essential step to pave the way for much needed residential development.

This project will enable the landowner to meet government requirements for the lands rehabilitation whilst allowing the Company to remove the reef material for processing. This agreement has been consummated following an extensive trenching and sampling program undertaken in conjunction with mining contractors and processors. The results of those exploration activities are currently being collated and will be released in due course. The finalisation and consideration of the exploration results will provide the necessary data to enable us to finalise the project plan of works and collateral agreements with relevant third party contractors who will undertake the extraction and rehabilitation works as well as the processing of reef material.

Further updates will be made in the coming weeks as exploration results are finalised, project plans are completed and third party contractors’ agreements executed.
