COVER STORY

SUPPLY CHAIN IS the beating heart of the business, says Van Vliet, who is supply chain director: Middle East and Africa at Weir

Minerals. “If this heart stops beating, the entire business will feel it immediately.” He attributes Weir Minerals Africa’s impres-sive growth to regional MD Dave Athey, “who identified that if we were to go grow as planned, which meant doubling the business by 2014 – which we have done, and in less time than anticipated – we would need an ef-fective supply chain.”

It is at this point that Van Vliet was ap-pointed in his current position at Weir Min-erals Africa, where he immediately brought about a number of changes, restructuring the supply chain and introducing a more cen-tralised business model.

“Essentially it was Athey who identified the opportunity, necessity and strategic impor-tance of the supply chain. That was in 2010, and since then the supply chain has grown in leaps and bounds. I think the value we have brought to the business speaks for itself.”

Simple maximVan Vliet ascribes to a simple maxim: If the supply chain is not effective, then you are not going to be able to deliver in accordance with customer expectations. “We needed to be-come a lot more visible, making sure that our internal customer base understood the value that we can contribute.”

In upgrading its supply chain, Weir Miner-als Africa has built a brand new warehouse, as well as implemented a number of new technologies under the guidance of Van Vli-et. Perhaps most significantly, a fragmented team was centralised.

“We have brought them all together under one roof, so we can leverage those synergies. It has been a very exciting three years. This

business is extremely  dynamic.” As a quali-fied mining engineer, Van Vliet fully under-stands the requirements of an effective sup-ply chain from a customer’s perspective.

“I built up this team over the past three years, and it is a highly competent team in its own right. If you do not have a good team backing you up, you will not get anywhere.”

Successful transformationKey to the successful transformation of the supply chain at Weir Minerals Africa has been the deliberate distinction between sup-pliers and partners. Van Vliet says the tradi-tional way of dealing with suppliers centred on dictating the terms of supply. “It was a very adversarial relationship that lead to a breach of trust.” The first step in changing this was to acknowledge the importance of the supply base and its impact on the busi-ness as a whole.

“We have about 800 suppliers in our suppli-er base. There are many suppliers with goods that are viewed as being non-strategic to the business, with wide market availability from other suppliers. Then we have strategic sup-pliers, which I regard as partners, as these are an extension of our own business. We deal with them on a daily basis, as I would deal with anyone within Weir Minerals itself. That is how critical they are. There has to be

I dentify the main IT trends in the mining sector MVA These are: • data warehousing• auditable, quality

management of data life cycles

• overall automation and integration of data from disparate sources such as laboratories • data security• data quality• software as a service.

What IT solutions does SABLE Data Works offer to meet these trends?• Data warehousing – The fifth and sixth generations of the SABLE product suite have been built on a rugged client server architecture that manages and supports one customisable data standard across multiple servers. Each server holds the data

for a particular business unit but the data structures and relationships, data conventions, dictionaries and data processes remain the same across the separate databases.Auditable, quality management of data life cycles – SABLE provides functionality around its databases to track the movement of data sets and entities. Data ownership is promoted through security. Changes to data can be tracked to particular logins, user roles and timed sessions. If part of the data’s life cycle is outside of the database, its integration back to its position is tracked and managed auditably.Overall automation and integration of data from disparate sources such as laboratories – SABLE has tackled the issue of receiving analytical data from multiple laboratories in variable formats by supplying a managed process that conforms the data before subjecting it to quality control functions. Once the quality control has been passed, the data can be loaded to the data warehouse through a firewall.Data security – In order to prevent the risk of intellectual

property residing in user applications such spreadsheets and user data stores, remote data capture functionality is provided at the point of data collection. This data is then migrated straight to the mother database using a secure data format. This means that data cannot change during transportation. The integration of this data within the governed data warehouse environment is strictly managed.Data quality – I believe that it is better to have no data than bad data! SABLE’s Data standard provides measurable quality assurance for the data in our databases. We deal with descriptions that are qualitative in nature. They must be quantified in order to be captured into a database. SABLE provides the tools to support and manage this transformation. User licensing for data capture has been provided at no additional cost to our clients since 1996. I remember a year when Anglo American Platinum’s exploration team logged 250 km of drill core into SABLE in one year.

Software as a service – We have identified the need to supply the product as a bundled service. Each package delivers a well-defined set of functionality and everything required to make it work for the client or site. Packs are independent of each other and can be added or dropped easily.

What IT infrastructure requirements need to be in place to ensure they are used and function optimally? We require stable Microsoft Windows

PCs for field data capture into a locally hosted database on the PC. Rugged PCs are recommended for harsh environments, local or wide area networks for database connectivity and database servers hosting Microsoft SQL Server to host the data warehouse.Remote sites can make use of external cloud hosted services (which require internet access) or internal hosted servers (which can be accessed via VPN).

Data captured offline can be emailed or uploaded for incorporation into the mother database by the administrator. What is the average time frame for return on investment for your IT packages/solutions? SABLE is easily motivated within a drilling and sampling programme because the cost of the product and service is a small fraction of the cost of obtaining the data. Return on investment is obtained within three months. You do, however, need a six-month programme to justify new software implementation. If you already have an

established implementation, you can get up and running within one month.

What training is required to operate your systems and how user-friendly are they? We provide hands-on training using the client’s customised data standard and perform data management and administration of databases using SABLE tools. Training courses support our packaged functionalities to ensure quality assurance and quality control of data.We make sure that the users know why they are doing what they are doing and how to do it. Clients’ data managers are able to train the data loggers themselves using our training material, if required.

Guideline for water-use licensingGolder Associates has

developed a guideline

for water-use licence

application for a key

mining client that it hopes

will become an invaluable

resource for the industry,

Riana Munnik tells

Gerhard Hope.

SOUTH AFRICA’S legislation in

terms of water use is the most

progressive on the continent,

says Munnik, who is the divi-

sional leader of the Integrated Water &

Waste Management Planning Division

at Golder. “We have fine legislation, but

while we are more advanced than other

countries, it is the efficient implementa-

tion that is the big challenge.”

It is for this reason that Golder worked

with one of its key mining clients to ad-

dress the inevitable grey areas in apply-

ing for a water-use licence by develop-

ing a risk-based guideline to facilitate

the process. “The risk-based approach is

something that is supported by the De-

partment of Water Affairs (DWA),” con-

firms Munnik. Indeed, Golder was ap-

pointed by the DWA to revise and update

Regulation 704, known as GN 704, made

in terms of Section 26 of the National Wa-

ter Act, which relates specifically to the

protection of the water resource in min-

ing and related activities.

Munnik explains that the National

Water Act, 1998 (Act No 36 of 1998)

mandates the DWA to protect, use, de-

velop, conserve, manage and control

the country’s water resources in an in-

tegrated manner. Therefore water users

such as mines are required to submit

water-use licence applications to the

DWA for the authorisation of water uses

associated with planned and/or existing

mining operations.

Water uses that require authorisation

Examples of water uses that require such

authorisation are the abstraction of wa-

ter, whether from a borehole or river,

or even transferring contaminated wa-

ter from underground workings into a

treatment plant. “What is important

from a mining perspective is that pollu-

tion and stormwater control dams and

mine-residue disposal facilities, such as

tailings dams, all require authorisation in

terms of the Act,” explains Munnik.

However, the problem is that while the

Act was developed as long ago as 1998,

the DWA only ever brought out a single

guideline in 2007. “There is no clear in-

terpretation of what constitutes a water

use,” notes Munnik.

“Recently we saw the DWA regarding

dust suppression on mine roads as a wa-

ter use, whereas previously it was not.

This leads to a situation where a client

may have to consult a lawyer to argue

that this is not a water use. That is the di-

lemma: should mining clients contest the

DWA’s interpretation, or simply abide by

its rulings?

Industry practice

“In many instances, mining clients just

concur and fill out the forms and apply.

That leads to a certain practice within

the industry that is not aligned with the

original intent of the law,” argues Mun-

nik. “The interpretation of the Act has

grown organically, but it has never been

a framework, or been proactively thought

through; that is why it is so difficult for

mining clients, in particular.” Munnik

says the solution to this dilemma lies in

the water-use licence application. “This is

a critical component in defining upfront

which water uses are under considera-

tion,” says Munnik.

Getting the application right from the

get-go is particularly important, as the

DWA does not have a regulated time-

frame for the issuing of water-use licenc-

es. In practice, the DWA assessment pro-

cess can take 11 months (if it is quick),

two years realistical-

ly and up to six years

in other cases. “We

refer to this process

as the art of water

licence application”.

“This really places

a restriction on new

developments in the

mining industry, as

any new water use

cannot commence

without the necessary authorisations

(that is, a water-use licence) issued by

the DWA. Therefore it is very important

to provide the correct technical sup-

porting information to the DWA in the

format of an integrated water and waste

management plan (IWWMP) to sup-

port the water-use licence application,”

says Munnik.

Dedicated team of experts

Golder has a dedicated team of experts

specialising in the compilation of IWW-

MPs, with Munnik herself having been in

the sector for 20 years. The IWWMP pro-

vides a short-, medium- and long-term

water and waste management frame-

work for a mine, specifically in terms of

storm water, groundwater, process water

and waste.

“The action plan of an IWWMP is an

excellent management tool to guide an

industry such as mining for the imple-

mentation of a range of measures to im-

prove its environmental performance and

to save costs by implementing pollution

prevention instead of treating water or

waste at a high cost,” says Munnik.

Again a major stumbling block is that

the DWA does not have a document that

provides clear guidance related to the

exact legal definition of water uses. “This

has resulted in the DWA regulating on-

site activities, such product stockpiles,

by means of the water-use authorisation

process. It is therefore possible that the

water uses associated with a particular

mining operation can change based upon

the latest interpretation of the Act by

DWA officials.

Consistent approach

“In many instances, the DWA officials

responsible for managing catchments

and associated mines and industries are

inexperienced, and do not have the le-

gal insight into the original intent of the

NWA,” argues Munnik. “On a national

level, there is also not always a consistent

approach between the various regional

offices of the DWA related to water-use

authorisation and the definition of

water use.”

Thus it is entirely possible for a mining

client to apply for water-use authorisa-

tion for activities not legally defined as

water uses in the Act. “This has resulted

in unnecessary delays and a huge back-

log in the water-use licensing process,”

points out Munnik. This led to Golder

working closely with one of its key min-

ing clients “to take a proactive approach

and document legally defensible defini-

tions of water use to prevent the client

from applying for authorisation of activi-

ties not deemed to be water uses.”

The resultant guideline developed by

Golder incorporates “a risk-based ap-

proach to deal with water uses that are

either not legally defensible or clear-cut.”

This risk-assessment process was devel-

oped further to determine the risks asso-

ciated with mining activities that may be

considered a water use by the DWA, but

for which there is no legal backing.

Risk assessment

Munnik says that Golder’s key mining

client will utilise the water-use identifi-

cation guideline and accompanying pro-

cedure and the outcome of the activity

or project-specific risk assessment to in-

form management decisions related to

the water uses associated with an activity

or operation for which the client will ap-

ply for authorisation in the future.

“Another solution to the dilemma of

the delay in the issuing of water use

licences by the DWA is the continual

follow-up with the DWA during the as-

sessment phase. The DWA periodically

requests additional information from

applicants. Due to the potential change

in departmental requirements, it does

seem that the goalposts keep on moving,

which is why it is critical to maintain con-

tact with the DWA during the process,”

says Munnik.

This is why it is important for mining

clients, in particular, to approach a sea-

soned consultancy like Golder, which

has not only established a close working

relationship with the DWA, but also has

an intimate understanding of its require-

ments, in addition to submitting applica-

tions of a sufficiently high quality, with

the required technical supporting infor-

mation.” Golder Associates will also be

exhibiting at the upcoming WISA Bienni-

al Conference (see sidebar).

WISA BIENNIAL CONFERENCE

Golder Associates will be exhibiting

and presenting at the WISA Biennial

Conference from 25-29 May at

Mbombela in Mpumalanga.

Golder will facilitate workshops on:

• mine water

• integrated water resources

management and regulatory

performance measurement

system (RPMS)

• biomimicry

• waste discharge charge systems.

A presentation will also be

given on the environmental

mineralogy of Ghanaian gold belts

and the implications for mine

water management.
