In regards the Fairbeeze mine, Tronox has had valid mining rights in the uMlalazi Municipality since 1998 and has been legally undertaking mining activities on land within this municipal area since 2002. Tronox has since 1998 made significant progress towards obtaining additional authorisations for furthering the Fairbreeze project which will in turn feed the CPC at Empangeni.

Page 53 of 413 3.1.9.2. Erf 167, Mtunzini: Mixed Residential Development
The projects is to be known as Ongoye Views which is expected to encompass approximately 1,000 residential units and approximately 16 commercial and office sites. The total construction cost estimated at R1bn for residential component, and R 1.5bn for the total development (including residential). Typically for urban development, an average of 18 direct and indirect jobs is created during construction per R1m spend – leading to in this instance the creation of 27,000 construction-‐related jobs. Since construction is estimated at 10 years, this averages to 2,700 new construction-‐related jobs per year over the 10 year period. Once constructed, the development will give rise to permanent operational jobs. Assuming a gross leasable area of 100,000m2 of office and commercial, this is expected to lead to approximately 1,400 permanent jobs (assuming one employee per 70m2), most of which would be sourced from the local municipal area. The positive spinoff for uMlalazi LM is the significant rates income would be generated for the Municipality.
The project is still on Planning stage, the site is currently not serviced and the Environmental Authorization has not yet been obtained therefore it is estimated that the project will commence in 2017.
