Freegold operations

Geology

The mines of the Freegold operations – Tshepong, Phakisa, Bambanani, West, Kudu, Sable, Nyala, Eland and St Helena – are located to the north and west of Welkom, while Joel is situated 30km to the south. Joel is mining the shallow flat-dipping Beatrix/VS5 Reef, while the other mines primarily exploit the Basal Reef. Limited mining has taken place on Leader Reef, A Reef and B Reef in the past. Kudu, Sable, Nyala, Eland and St. Helena are characterised by intense faulting, especially towards the western margin. Tshepong, Phakisa, West and Bambanani are cut by the regional north-south trending faults and, mostly, have shallow dips to the east. B Reef is currently being mined at Tshepong and has the potential to be exploited elsewhere.
