    A World Class Ore Body

    PresenterPresentation NotesRegional geology

    South Deep is located in the Far West Rand Goldfield on the north-western rim of the Witwatersrand Basin. This basin comprises a 6,000 metre-thick sequence of predominantly clastic sedimentary rocks, the upper part of which, the Central Rand Group, is characterised by the occurrence of auriferous and uraniferous quartz-pebble conglomerates (reefs) that are sporadically interspersed between finer grained and largely barren quartzitic units. All major reef units are developed above sedimentary unconformity surfaces. The angle of unconformity is typically greatest near the basin margin and decreases toward more distal areas.

    The reefs are considered to represent extensive fluvial deposits into a yoked basin, some 350 kilometres long in an east-north-easterly direction, and 200 kilometres wide in a north-north-westerly direction. The reefs are continuous as a consequence of the regional nature of the erosional surfaces. Preferential reef development within channel systems and sedimentary features such as facies variations and channel frequency assist in mapping out local gold distributions.

    The gold is deemed to be primarily of detrital origin, deposited syngenetically with the conglomerates. Although the gold generally occurs in native form and is usually associated with pyrite and carbon, most of it has been subsequently modified and locally remobilised during secondary hydrothermalism. The most fundamental control to the gold distribution remains the association with quartz-pebble conglomerates on intra-basinal unconformities. The Modified Palaeoplacer Model is the favoured mineralisation model that is currently in use.

    A World Class Ore Body

    PresenterPresentation NotesAt South Deep a range of methods are applied to de-risk the ore body and ensure the required level of ore body definition and confidence is in place to support the various levels of planning, including the LoM, production ramp-up and Operational plans.

    Gold Fields initiated a surface 3D seismic survey, covering Kloof and South Deep, which was completed in 2004. It defined the base of the Ventersdorp lava across the majority of the mine lease, which importantly marks the top of the ore body in 3D space. Other significant geological structures are also identified and incorporated in the geological model. Information derived from the subsequent GFI surface drilling campaign is used for structural definition, facies modelling, stratigraphic modelling and also in the resource estimation process. As mining activity continues into virgin ground, LIB holes prospect the area up to 1,500m in front of the workings on an approximate 300m x 300m grid. The data obtained from the LIB holes are used for structural definition, facies modelling, stratigraphic modelling and is also used as an indication of grade (tenor) but is not used in the final grade estimation due to the low angle of intersection. In addition, up to 100m ahead of workings, drilling is undertaken on a closely spaced grade control grid covering ~50m x 50m. This is sufficient to classify the resource as a Measured Resource within these areas. The data obtained from the grade control drilling is used for structural definition, facies modelling, stratigraphic modelling and resource estimation.

    Strategy and Objectives

  • Geotechnical Considerations & Mine Design Criteria

  • 30

    Geotechnical Considerations Design optimisation

    Aspect Improvements/ changes Reasons for change Progress

    Regional Pillars

    • 240m horizontal destress span decreased to 180m

    • Corridors increased from 4 to 6 at Twin Shaft based primarily on regional pillar changes

    • Pillar sizes remained at 60m wide

    • Increase the overall stiffness to reduce deformation , improve safe working conditions and improve longhole extraction

    • Crush pillar scaling/fretting

    • High levels of rehabilitation and re-support required

    • Increased extraction rates - increased excavation stability

    Complete

    High Profile Destress Stopes

    • Converted from low (2.2m) to high profile (5.5m) destress stoping

    • Converted tunnel profile from square to arched

    • Increased yield pillar width from 2,5m (low profile) to 6m (high profile)

    • Crush pillar fretting/scaling – increased pillar sizes

    • One mechanised fleet

    • Mechanised support installation enabled

    • Rehabilitation cycles reduced

    • Higher extraction rates - cuts remain open for shorter periods prior to LHS

    Complete

    Rib Pillar

    • Increased pillars from 10 x 6m to 8 x 20m

    • Changed primary mining direction from N-S to E-W

    • Pillar scaling/fretting at 6m observed

    • Design based on numerical modelling which showed high convergences in the MAD when mining LHS, indicating a lower LHS recovery

    • Lower backfill requirements with rib pillar as extraction ratio reduced

    • Lower rehabilitation backfill required

    In transition phase

    Sequential Longhole Stoping

    • Primary-Secondary extraction improved to Sequential extraction

    • Width changed from 15m to 11m

    • Reduced required life span of Stope Access Drives (SAD’s)

    • Lower stope convergence rates

    • Increased extraction of Secondary Stopes

    • Increased stope availability

    Numerical modelling to verify lower predicted convergences

    Strong correlation with destress stoping volumes

    Lower energy release rates (potency) due to improved mining methods (increased regional stiffness)

  • Mine Planning & Production Profile

  • 40

    Mine Planning

    • Build-up to full production using input assumptions • Maintain steady state as long as possible from NoW • Maximise volume from Current Mine while the Corridors build up • Verify mining method application

    Mining Philosophy

    • Stiffer pillar design (Rib-pillar destress & Regional pillars) • Per cut infrastructure concept (Engineering, ore and vent passes and dual access) • Optimised stope designs for improved extraction • Inclined destress cut (10) for improved footwall water handling • Converting ore handling from track-bound to trackless • Removing trucks from the stoping horizons

    Mine Design

    • Production rates derived from actual performance • Destress advance rates optimised to support the build-up and geotechnical risk • Primary and secondary stoping for 2017, thereafter sequential mining • Minimum 2 stopes per stoping drill rig • Increased volumes with longhole stoping output • Maintain development resources at improved efficiencies

    Scheduling

    • Footwall development for ore-handling systems and ventilation access • Conveyor, crusher and silo commissioning • Services infrastructure • Defer SoW development

    Infrastructure Development

    Strategy

  • 41

    Mine Planning Production Growth

    Production ramp up achieved through: • Increasing contribution from longhole stoping • Increasing mining footprint (increase in number of available faces/stopes) • Increasing productivity

    Long Term Guide

    1. Gold remains at circa 500koz per annum from 2023 to 2031 and thereafter reduces to circa 480 koz per annum due to a reduction in grade.

    2. Operating costs remains at circa R4.5m per annum after 2022.

    3. Sustaining capex reduces from R1b in 2022 to circa R800m per annum from 2026 onwards.
