    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    1. INTRODUCTION

    De Beers Consolidated Mines (Pty) Ltd (De Beers) lodged an application for a Prospecting Right with the

    Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) to undertake offshore diamond prospecting activities in Sea

    Concession 6C off the West Coast of South Africa. The application was lodged in terms of Section 16 of the

    Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (No. 28 of 2002) (MPRDA), as amended. In response

    to the application, DMR request (letter dated 18 June 2018) that a Basic Assessment Report (BAR) be submitted

    for the proposed geophysical activities and sampling activities.

    Sea Concession 6C is situated approximately 400 km north of Cape Town, with the inshore boundary located

    5 km seaward of the coast between Hondeklip Bay in the south and Kleinzee in the north and the offshore

    boundary located between approximately 70 to 100 km offshore (see Figure 1). Sea Concession 6C has a total

    extent of 345 746 hectares (ha).

    The proposed prospecting activities require authorisation in terms of the National Environmental Management

    Act, 1998 (No. 107 of 1998) (NEMA), as amended, and a Prospecting Right has to be obtained in terms of the

    MPRDA. In terms of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations 2014 (as amended), promulgated

    in terms of Chapter 5 of NEMA, an application for a prospecting Right requires Environmental Authorisation

    from the competent authority, the Minister of Mineral Resources, to carry out the proposed prospecting

    activities. In order for DMR to consider an application for Environmental Authorisation for prospecting, a Basic

    Assessment process must be undertaken.

    De Beers Marine (Pty) Ltd has appointed SLR Consulting (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd (SLR) as the independent

    Environmental Assessment Practitioner to undertake a Basic Assessment process for the proposed prospecting

    activities in accordance with the requirements of NEMA and the EIA Regulations 2014, as amended.

    2. OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON THE BAR

    This draft BAR has been distributed for a 30-day comment period from 10 August to 10 September 2018 in

    order to provide I&APs with an opportunity to comment on any aspect of the Basic Assessment process and

    the proposed project. Copies of the full report have been made available at the following locations:

    1. Offices of SLR; and

    2. On the SLR website www.slrconsulting.com.

    Any comments should be forwarded to SLR at the address, telephone/fax numbers or e-mail address shown

    below. For comments to be included in the Final BAR, comments should reach SLR no later than

    10 September 2018.

    3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

    3.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

    The proposed prospecting activities would be undertaken within the Sea Concession 6C, located off the West

    Coast of South Africa. The target mineral for the prospecting activities is marine diamonds and the planned

    timeframe to complete the proposed prospecting work would be as follows:

    • Phase I - Regional scale geophysical surveys (Year 1-2); and

    • Phase II - High Resolution Geophysical Surveys and Exploration Sampling ( Year 3-5).

    Due to the dynamic nature of prospecting and evaluation the work programme may have to be modified,

    extended or curtailed as data and analyses become available.

    3.2 NEED AND DESIRABILITY

    In the recently published Department of Minerals Resources Strategic Plan 2014 – 2019, the foreword by the

    Minister of Mineral Resources notes that the Department “will continue to promote mineral value addition to

    strengthen the interface between extractive industries and national socio-economic developmental objectives”.

    This project aims to establish whether economically viable diamond deposits occur on the continental shelf off

    the West Coast of South Africa.

    3.3 MARINE PROSPECTING OVERVIEW

    3.4.1 Phase I - Regional Geophysical Surveys

    The first phase of the proposed prospecting activities would entail conducting regional scale geophysical

    surveys in order to identify geological features of interest for possible further exploration. The geophysical

    survey equipment will be deployed from a fit-for-purpose vessel that is suited to the water depth and selected

    survey method. The line spacing of the surveys for this phase of prospecting is planned such as to enable full

    regional scale seabed coverage.

    The following tools are available for proposed regional geophysical surveys:

    • Swath bathymetry;

    • Sub-bottom profiler seismic systems;

    • Side scan sonar systems;

    • Magnetometer.

    3.4.2 Phase II - High Resolution Geophysical Surveys and Exploration Sampling

    Should geological features of interest be identified on completion for the Phase I surveys, then a decision will

    be made regarding the feasibility of proceeding to Phase II of the prospecting activities. This would include

    follow-up localised geophysical surveys and exploration sampling.

    Once the detailed geophysical surveying has been completed and the results further analysed, it is assumed

    that these results would yield at least one deposit that would justify further exploration sampling to establish

    the distribution of the diamondiferous material within identified target area(s).

    Exploration sampling would be undertaken using a fit-for-purpose tool and vessel of opportunity

    (e.g. M/V The Explorer and/or M/V Coral Sea) in water depths ranging from 70 m to 160 m. The proposed

    sampling may be divided into stages subject to reviews and follow-up sampling work. A decision on the

    planned sampling technology appropriate to each target area would be made based on the results of the

    preceding stage.

    Depending on the outcomes of previous stage work, samples may be collected in a fixed pattern over an

    identified target area. Samples may be taken along lines spaced 10 m to 500 m apart, with samples spacing

    based on the geological nature of the target area. Once a decision is made on the selected sampling tool

    technology chosen for taking samples from the seabed, the accompanying metallurgical sample processing

    technology on board the relevant vessel would then also be determined. Possible sampling tool technologies

    that could be employed include a subsea sampling tool, drill sampling or a vertically mounted sampling tool.

    For the purposes of this assessment it is assumed that up to 9 000 samples would be obtained within the

    potential deposit area(s). The likely sample spacings would be between 50 and 200 m apart. The total area of

    disturbance would be approximately 0.09 km2.

    3.4 NO-GO ALTERNATIVE

    The No-Go alternative is the non-occurrence of the proposed project. The negative implications of not going

    ahead with the proposed project are as follows:

    • Loss of opportunity to establish whether further viable offshore diamond resources exist;

    • Prevention of any socio-economic benefits associated with the continuation of prospecting activities;

    and

    • Lost economic opportunities.

    The positive implications on the no-go option are that there would be no effects on the biophysical

    environment in the area proposed for the exploration activities.

    4. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT

    The proposed prospecting activities fall within the offshore area of the West Coast region of South Africa. It lies

    within the southern zone of the Benguela Current region and is characterised by the cool Benguela upwelling

    system. The description of the offshore environment in the BAR contains a general overview of the

    oceanography and ecology of the west coast offshore region with specific reference to the concession area.

    The human utilisation, such as fishing, marine diamond mining / prospecting and petroleum exploration, of the

    area is also described.

    6. CONCLUSIONS

    The majority of the impacts associated with the vessel operations would be of short-term duration and limited

    to the immediate sampling areas. As a result, the majority of the impacts associated with the sampling vessels

    are considered to be of INSIGNIFICANT to LOW significance after mitigation.

    Potential impacts on marine fauna as a result of the proposed marine sediment sampling activities would be of

    medium- to short-term duration and limited to the immediate sampling areas. As a result, the impacts on

    marine fauna associated with the sampling activities are considered to be of VERY LOW to LOW significance

    after mitigation.

    The likelihood of disturbing a shipwreck is expected to be very low considering the vast size of the South

    African offshore area. In the event that any cultural heritage material is disturbed during sampling activities,

    the impact would be at the national level, and of high intensity. Without mitigation this is of High significance.

    However, with the implementation of mitigation, cultural heritage sites can largely be avoided and if sampling

    is terminated in the unlikely event of encountering a shipwreck, the impact is regarded as INSIGNIFICANT.

    The implications of not going ahead with the proposed marine sediment sampling activities relate to the lost

    opportunity to establish whether or not a viable offshore diamond resource exists off the West Coast and the

    lost economic opportunities. This potential impact of the No-Go Alternative is considered to be of LOW

    significance. The positive implications on the no-go option are that there would be no effects on the

    biophysical environment in the area proposed for the prospecting activities.

    7. RECOMMENDATIONS

    7.1 Compliance with Environmental Management Programme and MARPOL 73/78 standards

    • All phases of the proposed project must comply with the Environmental Management Programme

    presented in Chapter 7.

    • Vessels used during prospecting must ensure compliance with MARPOL 73/78 standards.

    7.2 Notification and communication with key stakeholders

    • Prior to the commencement of the proposed activities, De Beers should consult with the managers of

    the DAFF research survey programmes to discuss their respective programmes and the possibility of

    altering the prospecting programme in order to minimise or avoid disruptions to both parties, where

    required.

    • Notify Cairn, PetroSA, Sungu Sungu, Sunbird, Africa Energy Corp and Simbo and their contractors, as well

    as any other neighbouring petroleum exploration rights holders, as well as any companies undertaking

    marine prospecting or mining activities in the study area, prior to the commencement of activities.

    • Liaise with all petroleum exploration operators and any overlapping mineral prospecting rights holders

    to ensure that there is no overlapping of activities in the same area over the same time period.
