Sacci to tackle acid mine drainage

[miningmx.com] — A WORKING group to fight acid mine drainage and other water issues has been set up by the SA Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Sacci), Business Day Online reported on Tuesday.

“We have realised that acid mine drainage is very important, but it is not the only issue. Part of the other area is the lack of maintenance country wide,” Sacci advisor to the CEO, Peggy Drodskie, said.

“At the moment, the focus in acid mine drainage is up here in Witwatersrand,” she said.

Drodskie said the group would send proposals to government in due course on how water issues could be tackled.
