The scope of work included the sinking, lining and equipping of the 10.8 metre diameter production shaft to a depth of 385 metres, and the 6.8 metre diameter Ventilation Shaft to a depth of 322 metres as well as full installation a. Both the shafts were sunk through the Kalahari Sands and supported by means of 1.0 metres reinforced lining with second toe-in at +136m below surface. Further works included the construction of shaft stations, ore passes, pump stations, conveyor loading systems and shaft-bottom infrastructure. The Moolmans team was able to boast the sinking of both shafts without a lost-time accident being recorded in either of the shaft barrels.
