BACKGROUND INFORMATION • Business Park Sub Committee has been
tasked with identifying the best geographic location for an
industrial/business park to support mining activities in the
Orapa/Letlhakane Area.

potential location for the industrial park due to its strategic
location.
• The activities within the industrial park are envisaged to
include Processing; Machinery; Workshops; Skills Training;
Logistics; Offices & hotel; and Trade
• The discussion below is a preliminary analysis regarding the
above

Location Analysis (Local) Assessing Dominant Location
Factors
Alternative Sites Evaluating Alternaives
-
The location assessment of the possible situation of the
envisaged Industrial Park within the Project Area was guided by the
following key factors;
• Proximity to source of supply/ customers • Proximity to labor
• Site considerations (Local zoning & access to utilities,
Complimentary Uses etc)
Three sites were identified as follows:
-
ORAPA MINE
DAMTSHAA
LETLHAKANE MINE
LETLHAKANE VILLAGE
ORAPA JUNCTION
ORAPA-LETLHAKANE ROAD
-
Site1: Letlhakane Village Assessing Dominant Location
Factors
-
• Located within the Expansion Area structure plan
• The location can enhance the activity corridor along
Orapa-Serowe route
• Complimentary uses; o Existing Industrial o Truck Parking o
Hospital o High Density Residential o De Beers Camp
