Deposit Type

  • Sedimentary

Summary:

Gold was originally discovered in the Barberton area in 1886 and comprises the sediments and metavolcanics within the Barberton Greenstone Belt. Barberton Mines has therefore been mined for over a century with current production practices now embedded.

Mining Methods

  • Cut & Fill

Summary:

The mining methods used are underground semi-mechanised cut and fill by either up-dip or breast mining. An estimated 16% to 18% of gold is recovered by sweeping and vamping contractors focusing on worked-out areas and mining high grade pillars.

Processing Technologies

  • Bacterial oxidation (BIOX)

Summary:

Gold is extracted using the BIOX® gold extraction process, an environmentally friendly process, which uses bacteria to release gold from the sulphide ore.
