6 Years (Commenced May 2024)Scope of Work:
Situated 160 kilometres west of Gaborone in Botswana,
the Jwaneng Mine is one of the richest diamond mines
in the world. Redpath is undertaking the transition
from open pit to underground with portal, decline
development, and shaft construction.
The project involves establishing three portals and exploration access declines within the existing
open pit, along with the development of two additional declines and a primary ventilation shaft.The
comprehensive scope of work includes construction of the underground facilities such as muck bays,
sumps, pump stations, decline connectors, ventilation fan stations, and underground workshops. A strip-
lined 7.5m ventilation shaft will also be constructed, intersecting one of the declines.
To support operations in Botswana, Redpath established a local entity and is implementing local
worker and skills transfer programs to maximise national workforce development. A dedicated citizen
empowerment and ownership program has been introduced to further support the development of the
local economy and communities.
