Project 1076 reprocesses historic chrome tailings – the material earlier mining crushed, washed and threw away. Modern recovery gets value out of it that the plants of the day could not, and the footprint it occupies is rehabilitated as the material comes off.
Everything Project 1076 works with is already on surface. The dumps were built by mining that happened decades ago, and they have been sitting in the landscape ever since. We move that material, recover the chrome still in it, and leave the site in better condition than we found it. No new pit. No new shaft. No new ground opened.
The chrome comes out of material that has already been mined, crushed and discarded. The resource is the waste stream itself, which is why the project adds no new disturbance to the area.
Land restoration is part of the operating plan and its funding, not a promise held over to the end. As each block is cleared it is reshaped, covered and replanted, so rehabilitation follows the working face.
Employment, contracting and supply are sourced from the surrounding communities first, with training provided where the skills are not yet in place.
Drill, sample and test the dump before anything moves.
Reclaim material in planned blocks, one working face at a time.
Separate the chrome, recirculate the water, place the residue back.
Reshape, topsoil and replant cleared areas as the face advances.
Monitor until the agreed standard is met and the land is signed off.
Dust, water, traffic, noise, jobs. The project office answers directly rather than through a form that goes nowhere, and holds open feedback sessions during operations.
Project 1076 is a formally constituted South African venture with a board, independent technical oversight and standard statutory reporting. An information pack is available on request.
