South Africa's oldest gold mining town set for a comeback with modular mining technology

Pilgrim's Rest in Mpumalanga could experience a gold-mining comeback with modular mining technology after becoming somewhat of a ghost town since the 1970s.

Theta Gold Mines, an Australian company that owns the rights to the mines that put Pilgrim's Rest on the map, has embarked on the TGME Gold Project to restart underground mining in the region.

I don't see anything about an Environmental Impact Assessment. You can't just restart mining after decades of inactivity?

Did they get permission from the thieving hawkers and Zama Zama's?

I'm sure they've met the people they'll be working with, and are thrilled. EIAs are for people who don't pay the right people.
