The current concepts concerning the genesis of the unique ore-bearing reefs of the Witwatersrand Basin and its gold resource potential are considered. The results of microscopic examination of ore from the Black, Ventersdorp Contact, Carbon Leader, and Vaal reefs, as well as of thermobarometric study of quartz, are presented. A model of synsedimentation hydrothermal …

The ore was rich and located close to the surface. This made initial operations highly profitable and enabled further in-depth exploration of the reef to be self-financing. Capital, mine personnel and technical expertise were available from the Kimberley diamond mines, as well as the gold fields of Australia and North America.

textures of ore and rocks also are observed in some Chinese sedimentary rock-hosted gold deposits (figs. 23, and 24). Short-axial anticlines—defined as folds with a length in the axial direction roughly equal to its limb widths—are common and important ore-controlling structures in the Dian-Qian-Gui area (fig. 15). Almost all Carlin-type

Differences between Wits and Pilbara • Provenance of conglomerates is different –Central Rand Group and VCR: quartzite & vein quartz –Pardo (Canada) and Pilbara dominated by mafic clasts • Age difference (only Purdy's Reward is age equivalent to main reefs in the Wits) • Background gold levels in the Kaapvaal Craton are anomalously ...

tory. Because the gold ore in the Witwatersrand Basin is located in ore "reefs," these deposits have also been coined quartz-pebble reef deposits. The almond shape of the quartz pebbles has also led these deposits to be referred to as banket-type (in Dutch, banket refers to a type of almond pastry). More

The Black Reef Formation is a laterally extensive sedimentary succession at the base of the Transvaal Supergroup. The quartz-pebble conglomerates host erratic concentrations of gold and uranium; however, in areas that are located spatially above the gold and uranium-bearing reefs of the Witwatersrand Supergroup, the concentrations can reach ore-grade.

The amount of gold in any type of deposit is calculated based on the ore's grade (the amount of gold per tonne of rock) and tonnage (total number of tonnes) available at that grade. The higher the grade of the material, the lower …

These tailings piles can actually contain quite a bit of gold. Many small miners could not afford to construct a mill, and so they had to sort their ore and ship only the highest grades to a custom milling facility. Oftentimes, visual sorting of the ore was not very efficient and they left good gold-bearing material behind.

Driefontein is located in South Africa's West Wits Line goldfield, about 60km south west of Johannesburg. Driefontein Consolidated Ltd (Driefontein) was created in 1981 with the merger of the West Driefontein and East Driefontein mines. In …

BLYVOOR GOLD MINE – 5.32 MOZ. Established in 1937, the Blyvoor gold mine was the first in the West Wits line and, due to its widespread reserve base, is expected to retain its lifespan until 2030. Blyvoor contains an estimated 5.32 Moz of proven ore reserves and is operated by DRDGOLD SA. The underground mine is located 70km southwest of ...

The launch of an early mining initiative is forecast to see West Wits Mining deliver the first gold ore in the March 2022 qtr at the Qala Shallows area within the Witwatersrand Basin project in South Africa. The planned 5,000-8,500tpm ore to be produced from remnant material left from the mine's closure 20 years ago is additional to the Qala Shallows production targets set out in the …
