Mines News: Leighton Joint Venture Secures Service Contract for Botswana Mines

A joint venture between Leighton International, Basil Read Mining and Bothakga Burrow has received a $586m mining service contract for Debswana diamond mines in Jwaneng, Botswana.

 

Debswana is jointly owned by the Botswana Government and Swiss-based De Beers Group.

 

Under the contract, the joint venture will provide mining services for 66 months to deliver the cut 8 phase 2 contract, including mine scheduling, drill and blast, truck and shovel waste removal, and limited ore mining.

 

On completion, the joint venture will move a total of 156 million cubic metres of material.

Mining Related : Old Mining Law Threatens US Natural Treasures

Mining Law News from US:

An old mining law in the US is threatening the country's natural treasures, including the Grand Canyon National park, as mining claims on public lands increase, according a report by Pew environmental group.

 

The 1872 mining law, which was signed by President Ulysses Grant, states that mining companies, including foreign-owned ones, can take about $1bn a year in gold and other metals from public lands without paying a royalty.

 

Pew's report has urged the Obama administration to use its power to protect these sites and work with congress to modernise the law that still governs hard rock mining on public lands in the west of the country.

 

According to the report, ten national parks are under threat: Yosemite, Arches, Canyonlands and Joshua Tree National Parks; Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota; Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument in Washington; Siskiyou Wild Rivers in Oregon; Gila Wilderness in New Mexico; and Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado and Utah.
