PROJECT CONDUCTED AT IMPALA PLATINUM MINE
(RUSTERNBURG OPERATIONS)
TITTLE: INSPECTIONS OF PILLAR FAILURE CASE WITHIN IMPALA
PLATINUM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Impala Platinum Mine is situated in the Western Lobe of Rusternburg Layered Suite within
Bushveld Complex & exploiting both Merensky and Upper Group 2 Chromitite reefs. Impala
Platinum Mine is situated north of Rusternburg town in the North West Province.
Pillar failure is the most challenging hazardous at Impala Platinum Mine (Rusternburg
Operations) and platinum mining companies within Bushveld Complex as a whole. Pillar failure
could results in fatalities, cost of mine, loss of machinery, electric explode and hinder great
production. Pillar failure takes place within highly seismic area.
QUESTIONS THAT INSPIRED THIS INVESTIGATION
Are geological complexities such as rolling reef, dip (either deeply or steeply), pothole
(slump) and shear joints had major impact on pillar failure?
Beside over-loaded stress & geological complexities, are there any external factors which
resulted in rockburst of pillar failure?
Is it possible to change mine plan, design, and support strategies to mitigate risks of pillar
failure within seismic area?
Are geological structures catalysed pillar failures or was due to negligence of workers for
not supporting properly within working areas?
The report involved interpretation of geological discontinuities associated with pillar failure
(Structural interpretation). It was found that critical controlling structures which weaken pillars
5. within localized seismic area are rolling reef, pothole, and shear joints infilled with clay-like
composition and serpentinite.
