South Africa is witnessing a surge in #RenewableEnergy projects. This shift towards greener energy sources is commendable, yet it brings its own set of legal complexities. A significant obstacle is Section 53 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA). This #Legislation requires ‘#MinisterialConsent’ for any land use that might impact the country's mineral and petroleum resources. While initially intended as a safeguard, Section 53 is increasingly posing challenges for renewable energy developers. This is especially true given the frequent overlap of these projects with existing mineral rights.

Today, Sibanye-Stillwater and University of Johannesburg launched the Sibanye-Stillwater Simulacrum mining facility and Sibanye-Stillwater Centre for sustainable mining. Prof Hennie Grobler who has been instrumental in building this project over five years took attendees at the launch through the Sibanye-Stillwater Simulacrum – a modern mining facility built on the UJ Campus in Doornfontein with the support of Sibanye-Stillwater. It features a vertical shaft, mine tunnels and stope environments, a rescue chamber, and extensive virtual reality infrastructure to simulate an underground mining environment. Here we see how students are trained to drill onsite in a safe environment using virtual and augemented reality. #virtualrealitytraining #miningskillsdevelopment #UJ #SibanyeStillwater #drillingunderground

Sibanye-Stillwater and the University of Johannesburg (UJ) today launched the Sibanye-Stillwater Simulacrum mining facility, and the Sibanye-Stillwater Centre for sustainable mining. The Sibanye-Stillwater Simulacrum is a modern mining facility built on the UJ Campus with the support of Sibanye-Stillwater, featuring a vertical shaft, mine tunnels and stope environments, a rescue chamber and extensive virtual reality infrastructure to simulate an underground mining environment. The R43 million investment made by Sibanye-Stillwater allows UJ students, researchers and academics to experience underground mining conditions and conduct innovative research in a controlled environment. The partners also unveiled the Sibanye-Stillwater Centre for sustainable mining, which will focus on postgraduate research and practices integrating 4IR tech to aid studies that improve mining efficiency and sustainability. Dr Richard Stewart, Sibanye-Stillwater's chief regional officer, spoke to Sharyn Macnamara, editor of African Mining about the the company's shared value focus and what these new facilities mean to mining, our youth and South Africa. #SibanyeStillwater #UJ #MiningEngineering #miningskillsdevelopment #sustainability
