1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to provide the scope of services for Project Site Engineer for the Sishen Koketso
Project that is in the Implementation phase of development.
The scope of services shall be delivered on a full time basis starting June 2021 up to project close out at
December 2023.
1.2 PROJECT BACKGROUND
Sishen Mine represents one of the largest iron (“Fe”) deposits in Southern Africa and was first mined in 1953.
Current processing technologies at Sishen Mine enable the treatment of A-grade ore (haematite >58% Fe)
through the dense medium separation (‘‘DMS”) plant and B-grade ore (haematite and lower-grade ore types
>48% Fe) through the jigging (“JIG”) plant. C-grade material (lower-grade material containing 40% to 48% Fe) is
stockpiled as waste.
Since 2014, Kumba has successfully implemented ultra-high dense medium separation (“UHDMS”) technology
at its operations, enabling the beneficiation of lower-grade materials (<48% Fe). An UHDMS modular plant was
constructed at Sishen Mine in 2015 (of which the capacity was upgraded in 2018) to treat low-grade JIG discards
(~1.1 Mtpa product) and a second plant constructed at Kolomela Mine in 2017 to treat B-grade run of mine
(ROM) (~1 Mtpa product).
In 2015, Kumba initiated the Sishen Koketso Project to determine the optimal application of UHDMS technology
at Sishen Mine. The project involves the conversion of the current DMS plant to UHDMS technology, which
would then be capable of processing 28.1 Mtpa of both A- and C-grade material and produce 100% premium
grade products thus taking maximum advantage of higher product premiums against the constrained rail
capacity.
The mine pit size would also be optimised due to the project and produce an additional 131.3Mt (ROM) ore and
50.4Mt product over the life of mine (“LoM”) that as a result would be extended by 5 years. The project
progressed through the Anglo IDM study phases and the Feasibility study was completed in Q2’2020 in which
the investment details necessary to execute the business case were refined. Final study assurance and approval
to proceed was concluded in Q1’2021 after which the implementation phase will commence.
2. DETAILED SCOPE OF SERVICES
The service provider shall ensure that a suitably qualified, skilled and experienced site GCC engineer ensures
compliance to safety and legislation during implementation for the full duration of the implementation lifecycle,
