What this report found

Cynodon dactylon outperformed Themeda triandra and Hyparrhenia hirta, reaching 100 per cent survival and cover at all three trial sites by 2007 with or without fertiliser. Acacia sieberana reached 97 per cent survival at Kleinkopje Colliery but grew poorly at Optimum and Syferfontein. Planting plugs suits slopes too steep for a planter machine and buffers against pasture grass intrusion.

What this report found

No flameproof mechanised system for cleaning under and around moving conveyors was found to exist anywhere. Of more than 200 mini machinery manufacturers identified worldwide, few build for mining, and only one or two products were near ready for surface use. Manufacturer interest in mining applications has since risen, but the industry has not settled on which technology to back.
