ONE OF THE company’s latest achievements is winning the Deal of the Year Award at the

Ansarada DealMakers annual gala for the acquisition of the Stillwater Mining Company in the USA. The Stillwater Mine is a mechanised, low-cost and high-grade business, with at least 25 years life of mine. The transaction is expected to be finalised in Q2 2017. “Winning the award was pleasing as it means the transaction has been recognised by other leading, independent parties as a good acquisition, which reinforces our confidence in the value that it

creates,” says Froneman. “The award, which was adjudicated

by a credible panel and organisation, reflects that

the transaction has been recognised

by our peers and other

industry participants. Although there are no financial benefits from the award, I believe that it provides additional momentum, which is positive.” explains Froneman

Benefits of acquisitionThe acquisition of Stillwater is transformational for Sibanye. First of all, it will deliver real value for the shareholders by providing an additional high-quality earnings stream and diversifying the commodity mix and geographic exposure of the company. “Operationally, it gives us much more flexibility compared to assets in South Africa where you can have protracted strikes, difficult operating conditions, uncertain regulation and so on. In North America, we are removed from that.

“The stability and diversification that Stillwater provides means that our market rating will be assessed on a global platform. We will also have more of a palladium bias than other PGM producers – and palladium is becoming more and more sought after. Strategically, those are important

considerations,” says Froneman.

the company has been looking for

COVER STORY

Sibanye announced record annual operating profits of R10.5 billion for the 2016 financial year, which included a maiden contribution of R376 million from its Platinum Division (Aquarius Platinum and Rustenburg assets). This excludes the Mimosa JV in Zimbabwe, which is equity accounted and earned R254 million. Neal Froneman, CEO, Sibanye, shares his thoughts on running the company. By Mientjie Kleinhans

“I believe that we will achieve

a global scale.”

value-accretive acquisition opportunities for some time, globally and in Africa, and will continue to do so. However, there are few PGM mines outside of South Africa and Zimbabwe, and he believes that Zimbabwe is not the right place to go to at the moment. “We will continue to assess gold opportunities in Africa, but under current gold market circumstances, there is limited scope for a value-accretive transaction, so it doesn’t fit into our current strategy,” says Froneman.

Juggling two roles As CEO of Sibanye, and recently appointed vice-president of the Chamber of Mines in South Africa, Froneman has to manage two roles. He jokes by saying that he does the one at day and the other at night, but then gets more serious. “The two roles are very much integrated, and for us to deliver on our strategy at Sibanye, as a long-term player in South Africa, we have to contribute to changing the way in which business is perceived and operates as part of a modernised mining industry in South Africa. Since this needs to be a collective approach by organised business, it has to be driven through the Chamber of Mines. The two roles are complementary and the workload taxing. Essentially, I have two full-time jobs, but they are both equally important.”

He adds that Sibanye has the opportunity to play a role as a champion for South African mining and effect positive changes within the industry. “We need to assist the Chamber to develop and implement a new strategy, which I think we have done successfully so far.

INSIDE MINING 04 | 2017 5

We have no hidden agenda – it is about doing the right things, and we are doing that through the Chamber as well,” he expands.

Stakeholder relationshipsFroneman believes that mining is fundamental to the economy of South Africa, and any perception that it is a redundant, sunset industry is completely incorrect. “However, it will become

a sunset industry unless certain changes take place. The

first change that has to occur is to build trust

between business, government and other stakeholders, which needs to improve significantly if we

are to achieve a mutually beneficial

outcome.”This has been captured

to some extent in a document, the “Zambezi Protocol”, which was the outcome of a meeting of senior mining industry thought leaders drawn from across Africa in 2016, initiated by the Brenthurst Foundation. Trust between stakeholders has been recognised as a major hurdle to change and cooperation. Once you address the trust issue between business and government, for instance, the resulting regulatory environment will become more certain and conducive to investment in new mining projects by local and international investors.

If the trust deficit between business and all stakeholders – not just government but organised labour, communities and so on – can be addressed as the first crucial step, it creates a platform for developing a real, common vision for a sustainable industry that will deliver sustainable value to all stakeholders. This is the second step towards realising the aims of the Zambezi Protocol. “It is important to note that this vision involves the creation of superior

INSIDE MINING 04 | 20174

value for all stakeholders, not just shareholders. Once we get buy-in from all stakeholders and they realise what their role in achieving the vision is, and how they can benefit, we can move on to the third step, which is a social and economic compact agreed on, and adhered to, by all stakeholders.

The compact defines the new value equation in terms of how all stakeholders contribute to and derive value from the mining operations. Investors need to make profits as a return on their financial commitment; communities need to develop and grow socially and economically in respect of the conducive social platform that they provide to the mining operations; and so on. All stakeholders need to benefit from the success of the industry, including government, which will receive more tax and foreign exchanges as a result of an enabling regulatory framework, so it is a win-win situation for everybody. But, until we fix the trust issue, we are not going anywhere,” says Froneman.

Future plansSibanye wants to be a South African champion that is internationally com-petitive on the global mining stage, while remaining proudly South African. “I think that we are well on our way to that destination through the value-ac-cretive growth we have secured during our short history as an independent listed company,” concludes Froneman.

HOT SEAT DRILLING & BLASTINGHOT SEAT

Nomvula Mokonyane, often described as one of the hardest working ministers in cabinet, has made waves since her appointment as Minister of Water and Sanitation in 2014. The minister’s engagement with her portfolio, in the private and public sector, is truly admirable.

THE DEPARTMENT of Water and Sanitation (DWS) has indicated that acid mine drainage (AMD) is considered one of the great-

est environmental challenges, as it impacts water security and has emerging impacts on drinking water. Additionally, the DWS pointed out that fragmented legislation between various departments has been a particular challenge.

Recommendations approved by cabinet have included the prevention of decant by pumping underground mine water to protect ECL; the implementation of ingress control to reduce flooding rate and eventual decant and pumping volume costs; the treatment of AMD and water quality management; im-proved monitoring; the monitoring of other AMD sources within the Witwatersrand; and the investigation and implementation of an environmental levy on operating mines to help cover the costs of mining legacies. Min-ister Mokonyane discusses some of the de-velopments the department has made with regard to AMD.

How has the mining sector impacted South Africa's water source areas?NM The use of clean water for mining purposes and the potential pollution of clean water resources are two of the major

risks mining presents on the country's wa-ter resources. The DWS regulates all water uses in the mining sector, ensuring suffi-cient water supply, of a suitable quality, to enable socio-economic development and the protection of water resources, as well as general environmental protection. Specific programmes to promote the reuse of mining effluent are promoted, as opposed to a gen-eral reliance on clean water.

As part of my department’s business plan, assessments of several mining-in-tensive catchments are under way over the next three years, which will provide an indication of where mine water risks may manifest. These processes will allow for the development of strategies to mitigate mine water impacts.

Has the DWS invested in any recent research addressing issues of water in mining?The DWS coordinates and funds initiatives of its entity, the Water Research Commission, which is responsible for research and cur-rently has local and international linkages in place to test new technologies for mine water management. We are also closely involved with the Strategic Water Partners Network (SWPN) in seeking solutions for challenges in the mining sector, among others.

There is growing awareness of rising water in the Witwatersrand’s old, abandoned mines. How is the DWS tackling this?The DWS has appointed its implement-ing agent, the Trans-Caledon Tunnel Au-thority, to implement a special project as emergency works. This project involves the neutralisation of mine water so that environmental pollution is minimised.

I am in the process of taking the emer-gency works project into a long-term, sustainable solution, which could see the water treated even further so that it may be used beneficially, which is line with the NWRS-2. I will be making an announce-ment to this effect in the near future.

The World Wide Fund for Nature SA describes AMD as one of the most hazardous threats facing our water resources. How is the DWS han-dling this?AMD is unquestionably a threat to our water resources and there are various local and international cases to demon-strate negative impacts due to the poor

management of AMD. Fortunately, de-spite the magnitude and complexity of the South Africa's situation, I believe my de-partment has good control, as explained above. All initiatives launched by the DWS endeavour to deal with the legacy chal-lenges in parallel.

The assessments that it is performing to establish mine water risks in other min-ing-intensive catchments will contribute to a more proactive approach. The results of the assessments will lead to catch-ment-specific strategies to ensure that AMD is dealt with countrywide and that the mining sector imple-ments control measures to avoid the formation of AMD.

We know the DWS has carried out a study that warned of the potential risks to the Vaal River system, from 2017/8 onwards, because there may not be enough water to continue dilution. What is being done to remedy this challenge?One must remember that no supply system is foolproof, especially consid-ering our changing weather patterns. As such, and notwithstanding the supply potential of the Vaal Dam, it is good practice to ensure water conser-vation and water-use efficiency. The model for the Vaal River system is constantly updated and more recent data confirms that the system could be under stress by 2019.

I have, therefore, tasked my team to submit to me an accelerated plan to ensure timeous actions in dealing with the severe drought as well as address the challenges in the mining sector with spe-cific reference to the impacts of the Wit-watersrand mining area on the Vaal Riv-er system. Mine water, once purified to a suitable standard, will be used beneficial-ly, thus augmenting the supply potential of the Vaal Dam.

We are aware that an internal Mine Water Management Unit was to be es-tablished within the department. What is the status of this project?

A Mine Water Management Unit was es-tablished and is addressing several func-tions that I have described above, as well as other issues on mine water manage-ment, which features on my department’s medium-term strategic framework.

The unit is also involved in new mine water management policies and strat-egies, the regulation of mines, and should, as a result, ensure that we deal with all national AMD matters in a more proactive manner.

There is a concern that administrators are only looking at the flooding of the basin, which can be seen as a reac-tionary approach, rather than address-ing the root causes of AMD. Could there be some truth in this? How is the department addressing this?

Flooding of a mine basin could impact surface and groundwater resources, with deleterious consequences, as observed in the West Rand. For that reason, managing AMD within a basin is crucial. However, other AMD sources are also monitored and measures are put in place to deal with AMD and related pollution impacts from such sources.

DWS senior manager Marius Keet has said the treatment of AMD and water quality management involves immediate short-term and medium- to

The first lady ofWater and Sanitation

long-term plans. This is an expensive ex-ercise, which may need additional funding. Has the department made any progress in that regard?My department has made progress regard-ing funding for AMD miti-gation, which is indeed a very costly exercise. It is for that reason I am considering all options so that, when I make a decision on the long-term solu-tion for AMD in the Witwatersrand, I will ensure the best value for money that will benefit our water resources and citizens.

The DWS is also assisting National Treasury in the potential implementation

of an environmental levy. However, this still needs proper engagements with the relevant role players and is an option we are investigating.

Taking into account these cost implications, what research is be-ing undertaken to determine more cost-effective methods of AMD neutralisation, and can you share some of these technologies and processes? It may be improper for me to di-vulge matters related to research due to intellectual property rights. But, what I can say is that some op-tions for more cost-effective AMD management are being investigated and that whatever approach my de-partment takes for AMD mitigation in the future will be amenable to adopt new technologies that confirm improved benefits.

One must also remember that the quality of the AMD not only differs from basin to basin, it also changes in a specific basin over time. Monitoring

is, therefore, of utmost importance to en-sure optimum treatment processes.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule – in parting, do you have one final message? In order to guarantee water security for our country and its future generations, my department is committed to resolving issues around AMD, promoting partner-ships with the industry to manage our water resources effectively, and to pursue innovative ways to assist us in delivering clean, quality water to our people

LANXESSOutperforming expectations

COVER STORY

SOUTH AFRICA’S MATURE chrome industry has a huge socio-eco-nomic effect on the country’s GDP. In 2012, the sector contrib-

uted roughly 200 000 jobs and millions of rand to the economy. But, while the mining industry continues to face con-siderable external pressures, LANXESS Chrome Mining (Pty) Ltd. (LCM) has opt-ed to adopt a more optimistic response to the market.

The LCM business To date, LANXESS has been one of the world’s biggest suppliers of chrome ore for the chemical industry and a leading producer of chrome chemicals. The company handles the entire value chain from chrome ore to leather-tanning materials in South Africa. The company’s mine in Rustenburg has built a reputation as being a supplier of high-standard chrome ore for local and international use. Recently, LANXESS

announced its plans to further strengthen the competitiveness of its leather chemicals business.

The LANXESS Leather Business Unit will streamline and focus its chrome value chain in South Africa while Argentinean chrome chemicals production will be discontinued during Q4 2017. LANXESS is the only supplier that is active in both organic leather chemicals and chrome tanning salts. In chrome tanning salts, the company has a unique position through its strategic backwards integration in chrome ore.

The Leather BU currently employs 1 500 people worldwide and has production sites in Leverkusen, Germany; Filago, Italy; Rustenburg, Newcastle, and Merebank in South Africa; Changzhou, China; and, until end of 2017, Zárate, Argentina. “In South Africa, we operate a unique value chain with direct raw material access and leading technology that allows us to effi ciently produce

chrome chemicals. This strategic measure, therefore, enables us to further strengthen our competiveness in the chrome chemicals business,” says Ben Marais, country representative. The mine forms part of the Bushveld Igneous Complex, which holds the majority of South Africa’s chrome ore deposits.

The LANXESS value chain itself involves the mining of the raw material, and the ore being broken underground and brought to the surface by conveyor belts. Once on surface, it is processed to yield chemical-grade concentrate – the raw material for LANXESS’s chrome chemicals plants; lumpy ore and metallurgical concentrate – the raw material for the ferrochrome industry; as well as foundry sand, which is used in metal foundries.

Safety fi rstMarais attributes the mine’s success to the company’s commitment not to

Despite South Africa being the largest contributor to the ferrochrome industry, the sector remains under immense pressure. LANXESS is the only South African chemical chrome industry player to handle the entire value chain. By Mpinane Senkhane

compromise on what matters most. Right at the top of that list is safety.

“From the outset, the company has committed itself not to compromise in the area of safety. On the contrary, and with the assistance of all its stakeholders, the company identifi ed areas for improvement in safety and consciously invested in better equipment and technology to allow workers to work safer, by removing them from the working face or using equipment to reduce the physical effort required by employees to perform day-to-day tasks,” Marais says.

“This has proved to be extremely fruitful, and not only assisted the company to improve its safety statistics, but also contributed greatly to the improvement in production volumes. All that was needed in addition to identifying areas of wasteful expenditure was to put in place appropriate measures to prevent the reoccurrence thereof.” The mine’s statistics refl ect this approach as it has achieved a zero LTIFR (lost-time injury frequency rate) and RIFR (reportable injury frequency rate) since November 2016. LCM confi dently believes that it will be celebrating a zero-harm RIFR for the remainder of 2017.

Mindset at the core Sarel Ferreira, CEO, LANXESS Chrome Mining, expands on this LTI-free sentiment, adding, “LANXESS has been named the safety leader in the North West region. The key to realising this was to ensure that all employees and contractors are involved and support the idea of making LCM a zero-harm

mine. “The zero-harm journey starts with workplace visits and consultations with our employees and contractors, under the banner of visibly felt leadership, and culminates with developing personal relationships with our workforce.”

The visibly felt leadership practices being conducted with management and the employees identify hazards, promote the stop-and-fi x method and reward employees for positive participation in the zero-harm journey. This method and approach to business is at the heart of the LANXESS business model. Ferreira explains how support from management is continuously highlighted to promote safety on LCM operations and the breakthrough came when the employees started to build relationships with the Safety, Health, Environment and Quality Department and management by always being visible and physically showing support and not only talking about it.

“Management had taken the lead in communicating with all employees and personally visiting their workplaces to identify the areas where they would need assistance to ensure a safe working environment.

“The fi rst thing was to get them supporting our belief of having a zero-harm mine. The key is the support and involvement of employees on all levels,” Ferreira explains.

Market conditions The chrome price has left market sentiments wary, and although the prices did increase for a short period, they quickly dipped again. Despite the shaky market, LANXESS has responded

to market conditions with optimism. “At present, the mining operation is running in an optimal and cost-effective manner and is in a very good position to benefi t from any increase in the price of chrome ore. Although the recent spike in the price on the international market was short-lived, it proved that the mine could provide the right volumes in a safe, cost-effective and sustainable manner, which made the operation profi table at the appropriate pricing levels,” Ferreira concludes.
