Ivanhoe Mines’ Platreef PGM project – currently one of Moolmans’ flagship sinking contracts – showcases our extensive shaft sinking capabilities. The project scope includes the construction of a terrace, cover drilling, sinking and lining of the 7.25 metre diameter shaft and the development of four underground stations at depths of 450, 750, 850 and 950 metres.
Moolmans is on schedule to complete the shaft sink to a maximum depth of approximately 1 000 metres in July 2020.
The contract was awarded in August 2013 and work commenced on site in January 2014.
