dc.description.abstractIn December 1991, De Beers Namaqualand Mines (DBNM) commissioned the Environmental Evaluation Unit (EEU) of the University of Cape Town to undertake a socio-economic impact assessment of the future closure of their diamond mines in Namaqualand. As the end of the life of the mines is approached it will be necessary to plan for a reduction in productivity and ultimately for mine closure. It is estimated that the financially viable diamond reserves will be depleted by approximately 2002. The purpose of this report is to identify and assess the impacts of mine closure and make recommendations for the mitigation of these effects. The study has taken place during the initial stages of planning for mine closure. Conclusions and recommendations could thus be utilised by DBNM to inform the planning process.en_ZA
