Barberton Tailings Retreatment Plant

The R325-million Barberton Tailings Retreatment Plant (BTRP) is located within the Fairview Mine’s footprint area. BTRP has been designed to treat 100,000 tonnes of tailings per month and adds high margin and low risk ounces to our production profile, with production of some 20,000oz per year at an AISC of US$795/oz. The current life of the operation is estimated at 6 years and has the added benefit of turning our Barberton environmental rehabilitation liabilities into profits.
