<strong>SRK</strong> <strong>Consulting</strong>: 447493: <strong>Limpopo</strong> <strong>West</strong> Geochem Page 40odevelopment of a geochemical model to enable calibration with existing pit waterchemistry, andPrediction of potential pit water quality at post closure.7 CONCLUSIONIn conclusion, the geochemical assessment indicates that ARD and ML risks are associated with theproposed mining activities at the PLWM open pit mine. These ARD and ML risks could lead to minewater qualities that exceed South African wastewater quality guidelines and will require mitigation.Given the site specific uncertainties related to the significance and extent of these ARD and MLimpacts, a number of precautionary ARD and ML mitigation measures and strategies are proposedthat, if implemented, will manage these ARD and ML risks to acceptable risk levels that will providethe required levels of protection of the receiving surface and groundwater resource.Prepared byPassy GogaGeochemistReviewed byJames LakeGOGP/LAKJ Report_April2013_19April2013 (1)_Final_Ludi_22052013 April 2013
