• SA consumption ± 2 tons per capita

• USA consumption ± 10 tons per capita

• Aggregates 70 – 80% of concrete

90 – 95% of Asphalt mix

• Aggregates used not only for roads

• Aggregates is key indicator of economic activity in a region

• Quality is critical (affordable & durable)

Aggregate Demand

• All Mining concerns by law to submit returns detailing annual production (DMR)

• Figures are not supplied

• DMR shows 63 million tonnes of aggregates

R3.367 billion

• Aspasa shows 113 million tonnes

R6 billion

• This means DMR is 56% of industry estimate

Aggregate Production

• ASPASA views sustainability as:

“Contributing Towards Development that is Sustainable”

• Just to develop is one thing – to ensure it is sustainable is different.

• Aspasa & members identify sustainability as the environment:

Social responsibility

Economic prosperity

thereby ensuring long-term supply of aggregates to the society in SA.

We have too many soccer stadiums & hotels – yet we don‟t have good roads, railway

lines, etc.

Sustainability

• Borrow Pit is a mine!

• Borrow Pits mine a „mineral‟

• Mineral includes sand, stone, rock, gravel, clay & soil

• Borrow Pits have to comply with

MPRDA. MHSA, Water Act, NEMA

and now also the „Royalty Act‟

• Royalty Act counts at “muck pile”

• Royalty imposed on:

A person – who transfers– mineral resource – extracted within SA.
